J’aime toujours autant ce poster, il fera partie de ma deco à tout jamais 🫡 ! plot twist j’ai un DEUXIÈME bureau qui lui est presque toujours envahi de bazar (et de birbs) (et y a un autre poster made by you XD)
Bureau spécial bord-… euh, couture.

I tidied my desk, and noticed that when it comes to styling a space, my personal touch is something like “let’s cram in as many birbs as possible”

Watercolour of an Eurasian nuthatch (Sitta europaea) I painted for my brother in law, who’s an accomplished birder. I saw lots of them these last few days 💕

Finished the dress ! As usual I had some fabric left, so this time I made matching outfits for #dimilix.

Another chapter in the « AI ruining everything » saga : I’m fairly sure this sewing magazine uses AI for their patterns. I used to like these magazines because their patterns are usually quite original. But the last two models I tried to make were full of errors. Huge ones.

You may think that my closet is overflowing with homemade garments and… it is. I started to record everything I sew in a notebook in 2019 and so far it has 275 entries ! My sewing journey actually began in 2006 but before 2015 I mostly made accessories and BJD clothes.

I usually buy fabric in 3 meters remnants, which means I often have enough for two or more projects. Here are two examples : shirt for my husband and summer dress for me, and dress + top. #sewing

My fitness coach‘s methods seem a bit fishy. Is « staring at the barbell while laying on the carpet » a genuine exercise ? Also he insists on being paid with tuna & salmon Churus *fishiness intensifies*

I’ve been testing a new work-out routine for “”””beginners””””. Well, I may be unable to lift anything, but I plank as if I were born from an oak. A meager consolation, tbh.
Comic about me trying and failing to lift stuff, but planking like a genuine piece of wood.

One shirt for my husband, one for me, plus shorts and a scrunchie : the pineapple fabric family is almost complete ! I have enough left to make a miniskirt or a dress for a doll. Or my cat, but he doesn’t wear dresses. His only flaw.

I’m glad I brought my beloved metallic gel pens with me during the holidays. They were perfect to render the jewel-like beauty of the chrysidid (cuckoo-wasp) I saved from the pool.

I took this picture during a hike in the French Alps (Petite Ceüse). Although we were a group of four rather seasoned hikers and really should have known better, we didn’t bring near enough water and almost died from dehydration that day 8D. Fortunately at some point we found a spring.

I’m not drawing much these days but I started a diary in which I sometimes doodle. This drawing I made in the train back from my Mum’s is unusually detailed because I thought I saw someone I knew in the same car and didn’t feel like chatting, so I concentrated on my sketch to avoid eye contact ^^;

Years ago I made this coat ; this winter I used the leftover fabric to sew a matching warm cover for my cat’s carrying bag. The embroidery design comes from Etsy, I can provide the reference if you’re interested.

My latest sewing projects : a muslin dress that what as awful to make as it’s uncomfortable to wear (crappy fabric -> crappy results, who would’ve guessed) and an other dress with a Japanese-y pattern and red silk accents I’m quite proud of

New trend for my clothes : « visibly mending » holes with embroidery. The first one is a patch I made from a bought design and my embroidery machine, the second one (the cat head) I made by hand and ngl it took me an embarrassing amount of time u_u but I like it, so, worth it.

Finally submitted my attack for FE Art Scuffle, it took forever for me to finish it… I had to get used to a new software (CSP) AND a new setup (new tablet + mini keypad) and it was so frustrating I shamelessly rushed and cheated my way through the second panel (ty csp free assets library!)
