Weirdo, researcher, and bibliophile. I co-run Parasortium with my husband; it's a safe space to explore and create.

Made these today. My husband is going to build me a Wix shop to open next year because my finished crafts are piling up.

Michael's prices are out of control this year. Working on a large project that will probably take a year to complete. A three foot or so pom pom ghost, and a disco ball ghost. Right now I have lots of pom poms to make 😊 Also need to make my own pom pom garland for my christmas tree.

Found a pair of jeans that were too long and bell bottoms, so I cut them at an odd length and then sewed a seam.

We are devastated by the atrocities continuing to happen every day in the USA. I wanted to take time to say that AJ and I, of Parasortium, stand with you. Community is so important now and we will continue to work to help foster a supportive community.

It is a clip art collage. On the bottom is a group of women of all races standing together, arms interlocked. A black woman stands in the background with arms raised. Further in the background are the colors of all the pride flags. A text reads, "We stand with you".

It's the pride colors, plus white, pink, blue, brown, and black stripes to represent trans and people of all races, and has a yellow stripe with purple circle for intersex, and feathers over the pride colors to celebrate two spirit.

Had my first "I'm overwhelmed" cry because of the amount of reading this week for coursework. At least my homemade chicken pizza turned out great and I finished another lavender flower. I think tomorrow calls for caramel and hot chocolate in my coffee.
