I invent boxes by day and textiles by night. Love: hiking, pottery, knitting, crochet, painting, dyeing, baking, rock hounding, my dog

I’m glad I’ve been taking photos of my yard progress. These two photos are only 2 months apart!

I woke up super early to see the historically low tide and it was worth it, photos don’t do it justice.

Doing another over the top project because nobody makes stepping stones the size I wanted.

It’s cookie time again and every year I find myself with limited Christmas shaped. Winter buffalo on the table this year.

I used aquafaba for the first time because I was out of eggs mid-baking. Turned out ok, but a bit different.

Today I did some typical America activities; went to some public lands, ate a quesadilla, and worked on my native basket.

It’s been 7 years since my first visit and I can report that the Paris museum of hunting is still one of my favorite museums.

Gauge swatch for my next crochet project. So far in 2025 I’m one sweater in, I think it will be a prolific year thanks to anxiety yarn consumption.

The biggest agate I’ve ever found! My rockhounding skills are improving.

I’ve been loving this book, really makes me want to time travel to the Neolithic. I highly recommend this if you love history and textiles. yesterdaysmuse.cdn.bibliopolis.com/pictures/234...

I’ve been slowly using up my natural dye yarn stash. It’s amazing what an impact limited materials have on a design. Hope I have enough to finish🤞🧶🐓

What better way to start a new timeline than some natural dye crochet.
