Took just shy of two months, but my dragon in goldwork and silk is done :)

Gotta paste the back and then get it framed still. But pretty happy with the stitching.

Janey, Cornelius, and Floyd had a play date today and yes it was just as cute as you’re imagining. Just three carefree babies who will live safely in sanctuary for life. ❤️❤️❤️

An unusual statuette from Egypt's Late Period or Ptolemaic era, depicting an elegant #cat feeding her kittens. In this case, she's not a just a cat - she's Bastet, goddess of fertility, and protector of women and children. I love the kitten trying to give mama a kiss. 🐈‍⬛ 🏺 1/

What a shot!!!

The full #quilt show photos will have to wait until after I file my taxes, but I can still procrastinate by posting these videos I took at the show on Saturday. I was the featured quilter this year, so I had a room all to myself. 28 pieces of fiber art, and examples of the other media I work in

This is Missy. She escaped from her backyard and ran straight to daycare, where she had a spa day and got to play with her boyfriend. Lessons were learned, but not the ones her parents probably hoped. 13/10 (TT: spotsplaceyqr)

Happy Tuesday!

While I’m waiting for the train to Kyiv
(and it’s a bit late),
I want to remind you of the beauty of Ternopil.

Ukraine is gorgeous
and waiting for all of you after the war.

NA monarchs in 🇲🇽Mexico🇲🇽, they travel thousands of miles to this breeding ground.

Witness nature's defiance at the waterfall that defies gravity. A stunning marvel that challenges our understanding of the natural world awaits you.

“the furthest any human has ever been from their dog” ruined me good night

When my Eldest is anxious, they cant speak. Their voice fails them.

But today the school therapist spoke up for my kid when they couldn't.

And that means the world.

Cheers to those who use their voices for themselves, for others, for the marginalized, for the abused.

It matters.
You're a gift. ♥️

This is Rex. He found a missing child in 12 minutes on his first tracking mission. "He’s kind of a triple threat," his handler said. He's trained as a therapy dog, explosive detection canine, and missing person tracker. When the girl was safe, Rex shifted to comfort mode. 14/10 (IG: arapahoeso)

This is Sadie. She was finally reunited with her human, astronaut Christina Koch, after her mom’s voyage around the moon took her the furthest any human has ever been from their dog. She can't wait to hear all about the universe. 14/10 (IG: astro_christina)

A closeup of a cat's face. Frankie, white with a grey forehead and ears, and a splotch on his nose, lounging in a Frankie sized cardboard box with his chin and one forepaw tucked over the side. His eyes are half closed and he looks dazed. He's had a fair amount of cat nip. #CatsOfBlueSky
