🎤*tap tap* Is this thing on? I have new mending to share 🙂‍↕️

A pair of faded blue jeans with a very large and frayed rip in the knee partially patched above and below the rip with small plus-sign stitches in the sashiko visible meaning style.

Been stitching all night and only 5 of 6 needles are accounted for.... Please please please don't let me find it with my feet later

There is no way this will get done before Friday but I'm still gonna try. What Halloween themed fandom am I cross stitching???

A cross stitch with lots of little pieces: a teacup, a pair of heron crafting scissors, a dark jug adjacent to a plate of white food with a black topping, a leaf, and a small candy. Vertical stripes of orange are part of an incomplete item

Lots of little bits and bobs on this cross stitch project. Can I finish it before Halloween?? Any guesses as to what spooky fandom this is from??

A cross stitch with a few small pieces completed and guide stitches - a tea cup, a leaf, heron crafting scissors, and something not quite done - a cartoon-y jar?

I couldn’t find the aida I wanted so I tea-dyed this section - super happy with it and excited to get started on my Over The Garden Wall cross-stitch! 🫖🐸

A section of Aida layed flat in a cookie sheet filled with water and loose tea. Connor is poking at it with wooden spatula. The formerly white Aida is looking more grey/redish

Two Aida's being compared - one the original white, the other an off-white with slightly reddish undertones. A subtle but effective difference

Little mending project to revitalize the office couch. It’s only my second time doing this style and it’s a relatively 3D area so I’m happy with how it turned out :)

I fully expected my brain to need a moment to adjust to my new flat chest but I'm totally in love. This is my first look in the bathroom mirror after surgery this morning - it feels so right 💞💞💞

One shirt down, 4 to go! Really happy with how this turned out. My roommate will add internal pockets after surgery for the drains once we know where to put them to be useful!

Sometimes a long meeting requires handcrafts

A coffee mug that says "it would be so nice if something would make sense for a change. -Alice in Wonderland" and a cross stitch project in the early stages - just a grid and a gold boarder. Stickers in the background include wadhi tape of space, a sticky note that says "i could complain but it won't matter", a small sticker that says "fuck." and a sticker with a rainbow that says "READ". Pastel leaf stickers throughout

I need help y'all. I'm *so mad* at Netflix for all the good queer shit they cancel (most recently devastated by KAOS) and I want to jump ship but Netflix has been my one consistent subscription since the dawn of streaming. Where else do I got for good queer scifi and fantasy?

It’s tea. This photo actually looks better than it was. I’ve been cleaning this up for 90 min and have cried like 4 times. I’m sticky from crawling into the fridge. So overwhelmed

Top surgery is actually happening. I’m waiting for a call in a week or two to schedule surgery - it could be this summer! It’s been such a long time coming and I’m so relieved. Please send good vibes for the final stages in this process #queer #enby #topsurgery

Just your regular friendly reminder that Murderbot uses it/it's pronouns Murderbot is canonically asexual, agender, and not human and very much likes it that way I know it's hard (I'm still fucking it up regularly esp when looking at Skarsgard) but it is a central part of the character #murderbot

This week’s Murderbot episode is criminally short but I almost have a bingo! (Yes, I realize I could have gotten a bingo with “human’s shouldn’t do their own security” but I decided to be strict last week and wait for Murderbot to say it 😠) #Murderbot #MurderbotBingo @marthawells.com

Murderbot bingo week three/episode 4. New filled in square include "Dr. Mensah might actually be an intrepid intergalactic explorer" and "epic soundtrack". The "not on my bingo card" write-in section now includes "Sanctuary Moon theme song". Squares that have been checked off again for this week include "The Rise and Fall of Sanctuary Moon", "badass action sequence", "evil secunit", and as always "Ratthi is an absolute gem"

Are any of my mending/cross-stitching folks doing debranding? I thrifted this cute hat and really hate the dark brand name on the light background Will it look bad if I rip out the embroidery? Is it better to cover it up? #debranding #mending #thrifting #thrifted #ClothingAlteration

Gentle reminder that Murderbot uses it/its pronouns in the book and show I know it’s hard not to use he/him looking at Skarsgård but Murderbot is canonically genderless and sexless and it likes it that way #Murderbot

Murderbot bingo update! Episode 3 in orange. So much “snark is off the charts” and “Ratthi being a gem” that we had to check them off again #Murderbot #MurderbotBingo #AppleTV @marthawells.com

Episode 3 update of Murderbot bingo. Squares filled in during episode 3 are in orange: evil secunit, badass action sequence. Ratthi is an absolute gem, something from a later book, and the snark is off the charts were filled in last week in blue and checked off this week in orange as well

Murderbot absolutely should have been played by a genderqueer person but I begrudgingly admit that Alexander Skarsgård is doing great job. All the casting is great really. Akshay Khanna as Ratthi is truly a gem #Murderbot #AppleTV

No change in the bingo card after episode 2 but I’ve started a list of “not on my bingo card”. We absolutely could have predicted eye contact and alien remnants but diminutive nicknames for Gurathin? Never would have expected it but I love it
