also I found this Venn diagram I don't remember making but I stand by it
shield venn diagram, for example dean and seth share "self-image as scumbag," dean and roman share "preference for opponents at best fighting self" and seth and roman share "hair care" and "compartmentalization" and "catholicism." all share "pettiness" "unconcern for authority" and "kinky shit" among others, only seth like skinny jeans and architecture, only roman has emotional openness and steadfast loyalty, and only dean has a strong sense of self and ability to handle failure

Did a Google image search for young Joan Hickson and most of the results are this image on the left which is clearly not her. The one on the right is her. People truly cannot bear to let a woman have a big nose.

So many great blankets and we are starting the bidding at just $36 for the big ones (like this) and $18 for stroller size! Do you think if I buy this blanket this family will adopt me because they just look so nice

The auction site only let me upload 4 photos of each item, I was sad not to include these ones bc they are so fabulous!!!

(again: www.32auctions.com/organization...)

I also made this brioche cowl that sort of looks like menorahs but subtly and also it's reversible (I considered duplicate stitching an actual menorah on there but decided it was too on the nose)

www.32auctions.com/organization...
model beaming and wearing the cowl, it's blue with a raised white pattern on the reverse side it's white with a blue raised pattern! from the side, worn in a more slouchy way folded over so you can see both patterns

I guess I should talk about the stuff I made, huh? I made two things. (1) a shawl as an homage to the Rodeph Shalom sanctuary architecture (shoutout to my Esteemed Patronesses over on Patreon who helped me choose the right pattern!)

www.32auctions.com/organization...
lacework shawl in blue and gold, semicircular with bands of patterns, hanging over the balcony rail in the Rodeph Shalom sanctuary, mirroring the organ loft and painted ceiling in the background Our model with stunning white hair wearing the shawl, it does a really cute ruffly thing when it drapes

The baby's parents tricked him into modeling blankets by playing peek-a-boo, I'm obsessed with these photos and also the subtle color choices on this blanket

www.32auctions.com/organization...
baby holds the blanket in front of his face baby has dropped the blanket and is sneaking a sideways look at his parents baby cracks up baby stands on the blanket so most of the detail is visible, it's star shaped in really cool combinations of purple, yellow, turquoise, light green, burgundy, and variations thereon

Oh hey another gorgeous sweater! This one is a yellow sleeveless sweater with a mesmerizing cable down the middle. Our model is wearing it with positive ease but it has pretty good horizontal stretch also
