I got to see these two hung up over the weekend! I love seeing how people display my pieces. These are right when you walk in to welcome you into their home

15ish years ago one of my international relations professors always said watch what rights they take from prisoners because if thru can take rights from them they can take them from you. Seems like green card and visa holders is the updated version. This is not okay

Now available online at Gallery 1988! My piece Wicket is part of the group show, Back to 1985! It’s based on the movie Ewoks Battle for Endor. It’s okay if you haven’t seen it, he won’t mind.

I’m in the projectnesia stage You know when you look at a word too long and it looks wrong, wordnesia it’s that but when you stare at the same project for too many weeks #fiberart #petportrait #handmade

A couple of weeks ago we had to say goodbye to our dear amazing Cash. He was the best creature I’ve ever know and brought so much kindness and happiness into our lives in the 16 years we got to spend with him.

I recently watched black doves and now am watching the night agent. The thing that really pulls me out the believing the show is that these people can find parking so easily in New York and London. Like right outside where ever they want to go. Even at Christmas! Impossible.

I am rewatching Schitt’s creek and I’ve made so many quotes but there are so many more good ones. I think I’m going to remake a few of these and do a release. Do you have a fav quote? Currently mine is “I could go for a good coma right now”

3 embroidery hoops with quotes from schitts creek, eat glass, I will not feel shame about the mall pretzels(with a pretzel) and one with 6 sweaters that has the quote “I plan on popping a pill, crying a bit, and falling asleep early” in the middle

Cross stitched hoop with the quote “you know I would but I’ve already taken my Christmas pills and bitter experience has taught me I have just 8 minutes to make it safely to the stairs”

Embroidered quote “fold in the cheese” with an embroidered 3d cheese wedge at the bottom

Two oval embroidery hoops one with “eat glass” and has a glass crack and hole embroidered and one that says “lick rust” and has an embroidered rusty nail
