This one is helping.
A brown wool cloak with a cream colored lining is sprawled on a table. A sewing machine is in the background. An orange cat is standing on the cloak looking directly at the camera. Snow is gently falling in the window behind the scene.

Sneak peak. This project is taking a long time and it's not because it's complicated or hard. Just me being slow. ☠️
Cropped image of a brown wool cloak laying on a table. It has 10 brown buttons down the front in two rows.

I'm learning Dutch. Luckily I have a very good helper for my daily homework sessions. ❤️
An orange cat is on a person's lap. Also on the lap is a language text book and a notebook. In the background there's the corner of a spinning wheel visible. The cat looks very content.

Happy Caturday everyone!
Up close view of the back of a kitty who is sitting on a lap. She's soft and long haired and ginger. In the background, out of focus, is a rigid heddle loom with white and pink warp threads.

I had 🐈 help when editing that video. ❤️❤️
An orange kitty is sitting on my left arm. I'm at my computer and a big window is in the background. The desk is a little cluttered with a teapot and mug. My computer screen has my video software up.

Let's just pretend it's Caturday still okay.
❤️
An orange kitty is curled up on the legs of a person mostly out of view. A pink and white blanket covers the legs, and they are laying on a yellow sofa. A room is softly visible in the background, with calm daylight coming in from the windows.

I made a new video! It's a little different from my usual. Super calm, chill vibes. ASMR style. Cleaning and refilling my trusty (very dusty) watercolor palette. I hope you enjoy it! A new sewing video is next up after this one.
You can watch it here: youtu.be/rRVmJE19P5g
A youtube thumbnail. The background is a close up photo of a very messy watercolor palette with lots of different colors. In the center, there's a circle with an even closer up shot of a single red watercolor pan getting fresh paint squeezed into it. The text reads: "ASMR Watercolor Palette Refresh."

I spend too much time on my phone in bed (whomst among us...). So I decided my phone needed a tiny lil bed of its own to sleep in! I made a miniature tatami and futon for my phone so I can put it to sleep at night and we can be twins on our matching beds.
youtu.be/FkrY4FKdbg8
A side view of a tatami and futon take up the picture. The majority of the frame is the green fabric of the futon cover, with a tiny part of the bottom of the screen showing the black side fabric and stitching of the tatami mat. On top of this, there is a miniature tatami and futon in the same green fabric, and a hand is placing a phone onto the miniature bed. Text reads: "Making a Tiny Tatami & Futon for my Phone."

Happy Caturday everyone 🌈❤️
Two almost identical long haired orange cats cuddled up together on a bed. A green blanket is behind them.

I saw an incredibly interesting fashion exhibit yesterday! Here's one of the pieces. Designer is Iris Van Herpen.
A silver short dress is on a mannequin. The left half, is sheer, the right half is a riot of undulating fabric. It looks almost like a coral reef! Same fabric, just exploding with texture.

Happy Friday everyone 🥰 have a cat and a spinning wheel. You deserve it.
Photo of a sweet orange long haired cat sitting in my lap. She is on a soft sea green blanket and in front of both of us is an upright spinning wheel. The picture is taken from above so none of me is visible. The cat and the wheel are better anyhow.

Also hidden
The back of a sofa is visible above light colored hardwood floors. A tail and back paw of a long haired orange cat is sticking out from under the sofa. Absolutely not hidden the way he thinks he is.

This ribbon features in the next project I'm doing. Spoiler: it's silly and fun.
This ribbon is not silly and fun. It is a nightmare to work with.
I wish to yeet it directly into the sun where it will melt.
My own hubris for trying to use packaging garbage and saving it from the landfill...

In these trying times, please enjoy this cat. He has no thoughts. He's just a perfect little professor business princess who sat sitting up like this, purring, for like 5 minutes.
Portrait style photo of a long haired orange cat. He's sitting at the arm of a sofa with his paws up on it, stating at the camera like he's posing for his author photo.

I had a very nice birthday.

Beach sunset photo! The clouds are low and there's a honey and red glow to the sky. A strip of north sea and Sandy beach is visible but most of the photo is sky.

Brb never moving again
A person's legs are outstretched and crossed at the ankle, covered in a soft blanket, with a cat draped in the middle. The cat is an orange long haired kitty who has never looked more comfortable in her entire life.

What do you get when you combine 4 oz of Rambouillet wool, an unspecified amount of silk, and an urge to make silly yarn?? Holy double boucle, batman! New video! This was suuuuuper fun to spin up. I had a blast, and I hope you enjoy watching the process. :D

Youtube thumbnail that is a photo of a white person with dark hair and a dark shirt in the background, slightly blurry. In the foreground their arm is outstretched and, in focus, is a bundle of off white and very sproingy and scrunchy yarn. Off to the side, text reads "Double Wool Boucle" with an arrow pointing to the yarn. The person is grinning like a loon and looks extremely pleased with themselves. As the person, I can say yes I was.

Don't worry. I had a helper.
An orange long haired cat sits under a chair and nearby a spool of single ply handspun yarn as it gets used. He is very soft looking but sadly looking away from that camera because he is a cat and therefore immune to instructions.

Sneak peek of the spinning project that will be my next video...
Close up photo of a pink fabric basket. Inside are two very full bobbins of boucle yarn and an instruction card on how to make double wool bouclé. The yarn of mostly off white wool with pops if burgundy silk.

I have cats again. The kitties and my partner have made it. We are all here.
I can breathe.

Behind the scenes.
Top down photo of a living room. The focus is on an upright spinning wheel, a pile of soft wool roving, and a stool-- all set on a super cute hedgehog rug. Also visible are two tripods. One has a camera for filming, the other has a microphone stuck to the end.

My spinning wheel made it all the way from Wisconsin to the Netherlands!! I am so excited and relieved. Hang out with me in my latest video as I give my wheel some TLC and a good cleaning to get ready for new projects with a fresh start. Video is up on my Youtube channel.

Youtube Thumbnail image. A castle style upright spinning wheel is in the center of the screen, and a white, dark haired person is crouched behind it, giving strong goblin energy with a delighted grin on their face. They're holding the wheel like some sort of prom photo. Superimposed over the image are orange hearts and the word "Reunited" in block print with a blue and purple gradient.

Isn't he beautiful???
Shot of a retro looking sewing machine in blue and white colors. It's sat on a white table top and dominates the picture.
