My daughter just watched this last night! I love that tiger 🥰

I’m diving into this gorgeous #sciart children’s book - that’s definitely not just for kids. The artwork is exquisite and the text is the right balance of thorough and accessible. A great inspiration for #naturejournaling! #skybrarians #booksky @clairescully.bsky.social

Yesterday I combined work and pleasure, leading a nature journaling session for my library, featuring zines from @wildwonder.bsky.social. Such an engaged group, and everyone walked away feeling relaxed and inspired! 🍃✏️🌱 #naturejournaling #publiclibraries #skybrarians

A woman (me!) stands in front of a group of nature journalers. She wears a blue tshirt, sunglasses, and a sunhat.

On a picnic table, several sketchbooks are placed. They show pencil sketches and writing.

Nature journalers reach for Quick Guide to Nature Journaling zines. Various sketches and notes can be seen in the background.

My daughter and I just planted some amaranth. Hoping it grows half as well as yours!

Ooh can’t wait to see this one! If only I had all the time to stitch 😅

SO ADORBS! I want to stitch in ALL the colors! 🌈🪽

This summer, I am leading five nature journaling programs at my library - I’ll be handing these out to attendees! So much good information in a teeny tiny package.

Marleah @marleahmakes.bsky.social · 09/06/2025

Hello! I’m unable to DM you but would love to be included. I’m trying to get into the habit of sharing my nature art/journaling but also am having imposter syndrome 🙈😅

I joined the Montara Nature Journaling Club yesterday and had a wonderful time! Overcast days are beautiful too 😶‍🌫️ #sciart #naturejournaling

Marleah @marleahmakes.bsky.social · 28/05/2025

For sure! Good luck with your kit ☺️

I like the flat ones! I wish they were magnetic on their own, but I add a cute paper clip so I can stick it to my needle minder.

Marleah @marleahmakes.bsky.social · 28/05/2025

An easy to use needle threader is one of my must haves in a tiny stitch kit!

Oh I want to hang this up at my work desk!!

Ooh, yours looks great! I have fallen quite behind on mine. It’s such a fun pattern.

Marleah @marleahmakes.bsky.social · 11/05/2025

I’m lucky they weren’t playing “grab the string” 😅

I’ve made quite a bit of progress on my #crossstitch, with the help (or not) of my two supurrvisors. Pattern by #nightspiritstudio 🧵🪡🛸

Your sketches are lovely! I avoid sketching birds unless from a photo because they move so fast. I should practice that more!

Marleah @marleahmakes.bsky.social · 02/05/2025

Thank you! I really like the rhythm of moss stitch, I think that helps.

Marleah @marleahmakes.bsky.social · 02/05/2025

I just can’t stop looking at the details of every post. The different colors of line work - the brightness - it’s all so beautiful!

Marleah @marleahmakes.bsky.social · 02/05/2025

Look at those opal tones!! This one made my kid say, “wait - let me see that!”

Marleah @marleahmakes.bsky.social · 01/05/2025

I’m so excited about this one. Gorgeous colors and details!

Hiking and #naturejournaling at Burleigh H. Murray State Park this morning. Such a beautiful day! #castateparks

A partially finished sketchbook page featuring various plants. An acorn cap sits on top of the page.

Water runs across rocks. The brook is surrounded by greenery.

I just received the floss pack - this pattern will be my first Cosmo stitching!

I’ve stitched this pattern! I loved it. Great to see it in the wild.

A quiet start to the morning, spending an hour with this big beauty at the end of her life. #ceanothussilkmoth #naturejournaling #wildwonder

They’re beautiful and I’ll definitely keep an eye out for a holiday splurge 😍

I knew there were a lot of incredible designers and patterns — but when I went through each file I was thrilled! So happy to support.

It's hard to explain to people outside this fight that Texas is currently trying to ban kids from using public libraries... but they are; it's passed out of committee, and it's going to a floor vote. 🚨If you know ANYONE in Texas it's time for them to call their reps and demand NO ON HB3225🚨

Omg my daughter would LOVE this! So cute, nicely stitched!

I love these posts and my daughter would especially love them! It looks like I’ll only be able to find these editions used?

Marleah @marleahmakes.bsky.social · 15/04/2025

I don’t have an example handy, but I’m a big fan of insetting a map of trails/roads on the page next to my collage of sketches ☺️ I like your examples!

Marleah @marleahmakes.bsky.social · 13/04/2025

Look at those cute little faces!!

Looking for vendor suggestions for printing vinyl stickers. Any that you’ve liked working with? Wondering if @badstitch.bsky.social or @finefrogstitching.com or @worldonastringdara.bsky.social or anyone else has a recommendation? I’ve been pleased with the quality I’ve seen from yours. Thanks!
