Pride may be over, but we're proud all year.

An embroidery hoop on a wooden background. The hoop has black fabric and the cross stitched cartoon character 'Gromit' from Wallace and Gromit. Gromit is holding knitting needles with knit fabric in the trans colors hanging from them.

Finished one of my current cross stitch projects last week, and finally got a photo in good light! Carolyn Manning's Valkyrie, Shooting Star Collection 🪡 13 5/8 inches square, 3 strands DMC on 14 count aida

Full coverage cross stitch on bright orange aida. The colors are primarily golds, greens, and browns, with purples for accent. The pattern uses diamonds and triangles to form a geometric quilt pattern or kaleidoscope pattern effect.

Weekend book haul, and some photos from Ha Ha Tonka. It was a great weekend!

Stack of new books, featuring Parable of the Sower, Erasing History, Being Jewish After the Destruction of Gaza, Weyward, James, and I Cheerfully Refuse

Interesting rock formation, looking like a big boulder atop a smaller boulder on the edge of a cliff. Rocks are surrounded by greenery from tree branches

Columbine in a dappled clearing surrounded by greenery. Flowers are cone shaped and coral colored for most of the cone, ending in a yellow flare.

A view from the cliff. We are looking down a bit and out, looking at the side of the cliff, which is full of greenery, and down on the lake, which is reflecting the blue sky and white clouds

Reached 20%! I've been needing an easy relaxing cross stitch lately 🪡 Valkyrie by Carolyn Manning

The first few completed rows of a full coverage cross stitch. The pattern is diamonds and triangles making a pattern reminiscent of a kaleidoscope or patchwork quilt. The stitched shapes are in shades of browns, gold, and greens with pops of pale lavender on aida that is traffic cone orange (it looks nicer than that makes it sound, I promise).

SHARE WIDELY. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights. You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one. (1/3)

Just a reminder that most disabled people aren’t thought of in natural disaster situations. If you know of a disabled person who is in need of help during evacuations, please check in on them. Many of us are left to fend for ourselves and we’re often the most in need of support.

Cross stitch finish! 🪡 Plants and Petrichor SAL from Fine Frog Stitching. I really enjoyed this one, it was relaxing

A cross stitched cozy room scene on a stormy blue fabric, featuring a window with raindrops in the center. On the left side are two shelves with candles, frames, a bust of a woman, and potted plants. The pothos is trailing across the window. To the right side are a still life painting and two shelves with an incense burner, books, a cactus, and some rooting jars. Under the window is a bench with blankets, a pillow, and a black cat. A steaming mug and a stack of books sit in the windowsill.

Yggdrasil, from 2x2StitchArt in custom colors. It took me a while, but I absolutely love the result!

A cross stitched rendering of Yggdrasil, stitched in various shades of green and brown on an old parchment colored piece of fabric. The pattern features a symmetrical tree forming a circular motif in a Norse style, surrounded by a series of stitched frames forming a square around the tree. Some of the frames are thin and straight, and some form twists or knot patterns.
