Living a dark and gothy existence in the Midwestern USA. But not too dark. OK, pretty dark.
Cute lunch and art museum date day. It’s nice to have a personal tour guide that actually went to school here.

Boy did I need this.

We went to the theatrical release of Depeche Mode: M last night. It is a concert film of the 2023 Mexico City show from the Memento Mori tour. It blends live concert footage with reflections on Mexican culture, life and death and art.

Cute lunch with a view of the city.

Timeline cleanse. I have perennials that actually came back this year.

One of my favorite garden spots. The right combo plagued me for 10 years. Heuchera and Sweet Woodruff. Partial shade perfection.

Vinyl night with the Gen Z kids. They brought their portable turntable and a Bluetooth speaker. It’s like living in the past and the future at the same time.

One of the Brunnera survived! The teeny flowers are charming. Going to have to put in a couple more.

Felt like a cool kid going record shopping in Over the Rhine this weekend. Cincinnati has it going on.

My first ever Hellebore harvest! I love that these flowers are both Gothy and Victorian. At least in my little universe.

I am just going to be here making stuff… for my sanity sake. Never in my life have I ever wanted Jesus to take the wheel more.

Just added these beauties on Etsy. Named them after my friend Kathy, who kindly gifted me the pink yarn. We all need a pop of color right now. Even gothy neutral girls like me.

Shop is at worksmith.etsy.com

Ankle sock knitting progress. That is about all I can manage today.

Rest in peace… at least for now… to the only app that ever gave me 15K views. If a person can ever truly love an algorithm, I loved TikTok. 🖤

Delving into a core values exercise. Thanks to author Sarra Cannon for the suggestion. Just Google “core values list” and see what stands out to you. Hoping to base decisions this year on these values. (Along with my gut. I always consult my gut.)

Something zen about cutting little squares and stacking them up. New patchwork project in the works. Time to freshen up the color palette! #handmadebags #quilting

Feeling helpless, so here are some socks I am knitting. Hang in there the best you can, guys.

Coffee-dating and creative-masterminding. Neil has a super cool project coming out in a month or so and we are getting strategic.
