We don’t usually get this kinda snow, the light and fluffy stuff. And considering the ice-sleet mess from last week is still here we’re pretty frozen. But I shoveled the driveway into a pile and the kiddo made a cave for the cat and we needed this moment of play. Now. Back to quilting.

Posted on the farm IG, but moving it here also. I made a mini quilt Rebel Loon for @anniekp.bsky.social. I’m gonna make a few more + protest mini quilts to raffle away. Want one? Call your senators. More details below. +

A quilted rebel loon, the state bird of MN. It is made from recycled fabric and is a black bird with a blue shield that looks like the Star Wars Rebel shield. The background is white and there is a purple boarder.

The most humbling part of my winter-storm-craft is that I, apparently, cannot count to three 21 times in a row to rib the top of this here sock pattern. I’ve frogged it 8 times today. I blame the magic loop. It doesn’t feel very magical. But hey, the power is still on. One more storm band to go 🤞🏻

It's the PTO moms and spreadsheet dads and other random-ass Minnesotans concerned for their neighbors. There is no one central organizing org, just a ton of people who give a shit. It's both beautiful that it's happening and laughable that anyone thinks there's some broader apparatus at work.

We’re about to get smashed with some big winter weather. So I’ve spent most of the past two days getting the farm ready for the hit. The last task was adding some wind-breaks to the chicken cook so the girls are more cozy. We call the motif “random farm upcycled” as it’s mostly scraps and trash.

So, a giant winter storm is about to hit us. We will probably loose power for several days. Now taking recs for knitting books I can get on Libby before the storm so I can finally learn how to add/drop stitches, maybe some new stitches, and level up so I can one day knit a pair of socks.

In an effort to do more creative things with my time, aka be on my phone less, I have gotten back into sewing and have been taking a few online classes. Over the weekend I finished this quilt jacket from an old bed spread. I’ve now got a comfy warm house coat for my remote work life.

Posing in front of a closet quilted coat. The fabric has a grey background with white and yellow flowers printed on it. There’s a doll collar and the jacket hits at my lower thigh.

If you’re not calling your reps you need to. Over the last week when I say I’m calling about defunding 🧊 the staffers have gone from, to paraphrase, “that’s nice honey, now hush” to “tell me more about why you feel this way” and that’s giving me a lil hope right now in my purple yet red state.

White and brown mittens, clearly giving the middle finger. They are matching but opposite colors.

The back of the mittens is tame and cute. So you can flip off the jerks and wave to your friends. It’s a checker pattern.

If you are not in Minneapolis, It is important that you spread the word how bad it is. Everywhere in the city is seeing ICE. They are speeding, kicking in doors, taking people at bus stops. Yell at your electeds. They are taking daycare workers. Parents dropping kids off at school.

Needed a mindful and mindless art activity, saw this rice-map-drawing and watercolor as a #Sketchbook2026 over on IG. I think I’ll try to do all 30 w/ the kiddo. Might need to get her her own paint to keep the peace… www.instagram.com/reel/DTDS2NU... Entry 2/30: Rainbow maps

Two pieces of mixed media art paper with lil piles of rice spread out on them. A tray of watercolor paper sits between the art spaces.

Traced the rice with a micron 05 pen. It gives the illusion of a fantasy map like you’d find at the beginnings of a fantasy read. Very fun to do. Extremely satisfying

My watercolor rainbow map. There’s one big central continent with a few larger land masses and a smattering of tiny islands.

Side by side of my map and my kiddo’s map.

Both are rainbow motif from a rice map

A thing I’m really glad we decided as our family vacation norms ~10years ago when we became a family of 3: Eat out 1 meal a day, sandwiches & the like for other meals. Fancy coffee & pastry afternoons. Each member of the fam gets to pick 1 adventure for the vacay. We play board games at night.

I haven’t put nearly the dent in my TBR pile as I assumed on this vacation. But I made sweet progress on this knitting project and a few other mending projects. So. That’s a win.

Had a long car ride to learn into imperfection with a new craft today. Seed stitch test swatch made with recycled yarn before I moved onto the pretty yarn for the actual craft. I have a goal of knitting a cowl before the end of winter break.

A yellow square of a knit pattern called the seed stitch. It is one knit, one purl, on an odd number of castings. It has a cool bumpy texture that reminds me of bubble wrap.

In 2019 I bought the kiddo a pair of Elmo chopsticks while in San Francisco visiting for Desmos Fellows weekend. Since then, about once a month, she’d try to use them, get frustrated, and swap back to a fork. Tonight she successfully used them while eating dumplings! Perseverance and patience 💚
