It’s very nice to make something by hand every now and again, and I am proud of this cushion I made. She’s simple, but sturdy.

Found this behind mom’s dresser while moving her in this week. Throwback to anyone who was in Ohio 13 years ago

There’s nothing I like more on social these days than a highlight notification.

✔️Someone read a thing I wrote
✔️ It meant something to them
✔️ They wanted to share back with me, the writer

No ego or manipulation. In its simplest form it’s connective & interrogative. We need more spaces like these.

Final inspection tomorrow for the accessible addition we built for my mom. Permits were approved Mar 1, 2024 after a long battle with the city. A million tiny decisions & sacrifices since.

In some ways the journey is just beginning. Still some bits to finish. But I’m proud of this. Lifetime proud.

Really amazing how the design team showed up everywhere. Customer interview, evening deep dive on influence, incredible design experiences for everyone (diy screenprint), sharing culture, leading important projects. Hashtag greatest.

Visited The Lynx bookstore this weekend with Mom and it was every bit as wonderful as I imagined, what a Florida haven. Spotted @kristenarnett.bsky.social on the staff picks 💅

Enjoying being back at my alum’s annual design show at UF, c/o 2006 I can hardly believe it’s been this long

Today’s project. 50 baseboards, ten doors (two sides, two coats each)

This should have come first. Basically a lot of self care ahead of next week

this is such an american poem. it isn't indifference. it's horror, weariness, paradox, an incongruous sublimity. recognition it could happen to any of us + we're doing it to ourselves. a scale of suffering that links everyone/thing. this captures all of that. www.rattle.com/la-is-burnin...

Not sure where the sudden influx of followers has come from, but hi, I love bonafide community! 👋 Here’s a scarf I just finished, life has been at knitting pace the past two weeks which has been quite nice

I’m a beginner knitter, but it seemed sweet to knit a bookmark together with my girls for my grandma’s birthday (she taught all three of us to knit). She is 99 today, born Dec 21, 1925.

Important context: Our entire team is 75 people. Product org is currently 3. This role will HUGELY impact the future of Medium. We are craving change & evolution of our platform & you'd get to help lead us there. Needless to say, I'm VERY excited to meet you! Here's our fun team in Scotland recently

Yes that’s a good point. Here’s a closeup, the crystals in it are sooo pretty

Yes. And a 12”ish backsplash, maybe with a little ledge like so

Which do we like, Mona Lisa (1) or River White (2)?

First I practically ran away from @kristenarnett.bsky.social who was SO KIND. Redeemed myself slightly by getting @legroff.bsky.social to write the words ‘bosom buddy’ in my book. These gals are my Florida Dua Lipa, I am bliss, can basically do anything now 🐆🐆
