I did the tiniest little clothing alteration project for my girl yesterday (taking some corset grommets off the back of a cardigan) and I sweat the easiest things are often the most satisfying. #craftsky

My latest pattern is a super simple knit basket you can work with whatever yarn you have lying around. It's been very well received, which kind of surprises me and kind of doesn't. #craftsky
A small blue knit basket sits on a white background. Inside the basket are a pink tape measure, red bead stitch marker, yarn needle and scissors shaped like a unicorn.

I've been working on a ton of stash busting projects lately but I really love these little baskets, which you can make with chunky yarn or yarn held together, and any size you want. Great for holding randoms on your desk. #craftsky www.ourdailycraft.com/2026/07/16/e...

I love using knitting machines for silly little home decor things I'd never take the time to knit by hand. Thus this knitting machine pencil. It's kind of ridiculous and I kind of love it. #craftsky #knitting www.ourdailycraft.com/2026/06/29/k...

It's a good news/bad news kind of afternoon. Good: found the girl a prom dress for $13. Bad: came home and a roller had just fallen off our garage door. And I found the cat with the front half of a skink in our bathroom. Life is a panoply.

Found this on Etsy and it's clearly really bad AI but the more I look at it the more I see and I just had to share. It started as "why does every state but Arkansas have some kind of decoration?" but it gets worse from there.
An image of an AI map of the United States meant to be an embroidery project celebrating the 250th anniversary of America. Images in some of the states are nonsensical (Wyoming has a cow skull with scales of justice earrings?), other states have wrong abbreviations (SO, TA, WT) and Arkansas has no embellishment at all.

Now *that's* how you do a holiday email. Bravo, Echoes of Antiquity!
An image showing the text of an email that reads: Today is March 15th.
 
The Ides of March.
 
The day Julius Caesar ignored a fortune teller, dismissed his wife's nightmares, and walked into the Senate thinking it was just another Tuesday.
 
Spoiler: It wasn't.
 
23 stab wounds later, Rome learned an important lesson about workplace safety and the dangers of unchecked ambition.
 
But here's what makes the Ides of March so perfectly Roman: Caesar's last words probably weren't even "Et tu, Brute?" That's Shakespeare. Ancient sources suggest he either said nothing or muttered "You too, child?" in Greek.
 
Even in death, Rome was dramatic.
 
 Why we're telling you this:
 
Because we know you're the kind of person who marks historical assassinations on your calendar (we know you are), you need the right shirt for the occasion.

As part of my plan to make more time for my actual work, I've been unsubscribing from email lists. Tons of them. It's so damn satisfying and hopefully will result in less "oh, wait, I got an email!" in the future. (Kid emails me to circumvent no cell phone rules so can't just turn email off.)

Just decided out of nowhere that I want to try to do something kind of crazy to give myself more time to work on my own projects. We'll see if it actually works. At the very least I'll probably get more done trying even if I don't reach the full goal, so that's probably a win.
