Some yarns in a wire shelving unit. A tag reads "Portofino $3650". This photo was taken inside a shop.

Ok, so the Gateway Arch is in St. Louis. But I don't get the significance of Michigan.

A blurry still from the video. It shows a "sticker" on the promo box that reads "I saw the big water in Michigan".

If someone tells you you can't have disabilities in your fantasy world, tell them there are blind people in Middle Earth.

"Gandalf felt the ground with his staff like a blind man"
from The Fellowship of the Ring, by J.R.R. Tolkien

Gimli laughed suddenly. ‘A merry troop of fools we shall look! Will Haldir lead us all on a string, like many blind beggars with one dog? But I will be content, if only Legolas here shares my blindness.’
from The Fellowship of the Ring, by J.R.R. Tolkien

"Waste of a good apple" is so funny. I love Sam. #lotr

" ‘Morning, Longshanks!’ he said. ‘Off early? Found some friends at last?’ Strider nodded, but did not answer.
‘Morning, my little friends!’ he said to the others. ‘I suppose you know who you’ve taken up with? That’s Stick-at-naught Strider, that is! Though I’ve heard other names not so pretty. Watch out tonight! And you, Sammie, don’t go ill-treating my poor old pony! Pah!’ He spat again.
Sam turned quickly. ‘And you, Ferny,’ he said, ‘put your ugly face out of sight, or it will get hurt.’ With a sudden flick, quick as lightning, an apple left his hand and hit Bill square on the nose. He ducked too late, and curses came from behind the hedge. ‘Waste of a good apple,’ said Sam regretfully, and strode on. "

a bit of web weaving with #lotr and #cavafy

The Road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow, if I can,
Pursuing it with weary feet,
Until it joins some larger way,
Where many paths and errands meet.
And whither then? I cannot say.

[From The Fellowship of the Ring, by J.R.R. Tolkien]

Keep Ithaka always in your mind.
Arriving there is what you’re destined for.
But don’t hurry the journey at all.
Better if it lasts for years,
so you’re old by the time you reach the island,
wealthy with all you’ve gained on the way,
not expecting Ithaka to make you rich.

[From Ithaka, C.P. Cavafy (Tr: E. Keeley and P. Sherrard)]

I laid the sweater off the sofa to see how it was coming... And then I realize: I sewed those cushion and that plushie and I also knitted that blanket (and I'm planning on making a shirt from that fabric). I'm actually quite proud of myself.

An almost finished cable hand knitted sweater. To it's right there is a folded black fabric. Below the fabric there's a cushion with an apliqué in the shape of a monstera leaf. Next to it an below the sweater there's a bat plushie. A bit away from it there's a bag holding the yarn coming from the pullover. Under the sweater and the fabric there's a hand knitted blanket. All of it it's on top of a sofa covered in a plush fabric.

A few days ago I visited the Recoleta Cemetery. So beautiful.

A bronze statue with patina next to a mausoleum. It's a female figure in a long draped tunic. She holds a sword.

A white statue of a female figure in a draped dress.

A bronze statue with patina of a seated female figure.

The mausoleum of Rufina Cambaceres. There's a statue of her by a false door. She has her hand on the handle and seems to be leaving or entering.

And today's treat. The end

The picture was taken from above. It shows a 1/4 kilo of ice cream (chocolate with almonds, banana split and dulce de leche) in a Styrofoam container. There's a paper bag below it. They're on top of a concrete park bench. There is a hand on the bottom left corner and a black fabric bag on the bottom right corner.

Tuesday loot. I ordered the things in the first photo a couple of weeks ago (and none of them are what I asked for 🙃). The national government is trying to ban the book from schools. We resist. In small ways, but we resist. The postcards are just pretty

On top of a light green duvet, clockwise:
1) a pair of dangle earirngs in the shape of black hands with an open eye on the palm. They hang with the wrist at the top and the fingertips on the bottom. Three red beads in the shape of dropplets hang from the index, middle and pinkie finger.
2) a small (30cm by 45cm) progress pride flag
3) a pair of small sword dangle earrings.

The short novel Cometierra by Dolores reyes, on top of a light green duvet. The cover shows, encircled by an oval, the illustration of a purple female figure from the waist up. She's crying at a table. Around this image, over a black background, there are puple passion fruit flowers, yellow passion fruit fruits, bluish bottles, green leaves, and a blue pack of cigarettes.

Two postcards over a light green duvet.
The one on the left has an image of "La toilette de Venus" by William Adolphe Bourguereau. It's a nude painting of a white female figure squatting/sitting on the ground with both of her hands up on her hair. There are hints of water and vegetation in the background.
The postcard on the right has an image of "Deux danseuses jaunes et roses" by Edgar Degas. It shows two white female figures in ballet dresses. The one on the left is wearing yellow and is seated with her legs open, leaning foward. the one on the right is wearing pink and leaning towards the figure on the left.

Saturday loot. The plants are for my parents.

A My Neighbor Totoro t-shirt on a wire hanger. The t-shirt has a picture of Totoro (a big cat-like and bear-like creature) with the other two creatures (who look like they belong to the same species but are smaller) riding the Catbus. There are a few susuwataris at the feet of the Catbus.

Two little plants with dark red flowers. The one on the left is a plumed cockscomb, and the one on the left is a snapdragon. They're on a wet terracotta floor. A few other plants are visible on the background.

Friday loot. I bought the fuchsia eyeliner almost as a joke, because it was so cheap, but it turns out i really like how it looks on me. Anyways, I'm not an influencer: don't buy things just because you saw them on the internet.
