Before: An old, vintage, toy chest bench with hand carved back railing and front support decoration, a kids sticker on top, and some bubbly water damage on the top of the bench seat.

After: the same toy chest bench, with all the scuffs and marks vanished. The top of the bench seat is painted a dusty pink and has little daisies bordering the edge of said seat.

Congrats! You've doom scrolled far enough to see my art!
Recently I've discovered a love for refinishing and restoring furniture I find left out for the garbage collection. These are some pieces that I wanted to show off! 🩷

There are more registered democrats in Texas than Republicans. We are a heavily rigged state and don't want Rolldemort.

I am LOVING this dragonfly stitch pattern 😍 I'm making a button down shirt for my friends sibling for Christmas. They're gonna love it!

A crochet tapestry of A Skeleton Smoking a cigarette painting by Van Gogh, held by a very pasty white lady with red hair, a red top, and denim shorts. In front of a very colorful spray painted mural.

I finished another one! Skeleton smoking a cigarette by Van Gogh 🚬💀 it took me 24h 49m 9s over the course of about 5 days. What do you think?

I am not, but I may try to use beads on the next one, Almond Blossoms, also by Van Gogh ❤️

I'm keeping track of my time with this one. I have to know how long it ACTUALLY takes me to make one of these, and I'm using an audiobook to mark my time 😅 It's actually quite effective! 🧶 #crochet #tapestry #painting

I've been working on a new tapestry as of late. I'm crocheting Skeleton smoking a cigarette by Van Gogh to add to my collection so I can host an art exhibition gallery 🤞 I'm not very far, but I'm documenting my process as I #crochet it! 🧶

Is my crochet your drug? 🧶🏳️‍🌈 #crochet #kesha #fibercraft

I'm trying my hand at a #crochet mermaid tail blanket. Do I have a pattern? Nope! But I have audacity so that should be enough, right? 😅 🧶

Thank you 🥰😁

I published 3 patterns on Ravelry today and I'm really proud of myself 💪😊 I did the Sunflowers cardigan pattern, a petticoat-style skirt, and a soot sprite pillow (that one is free!) 🧶

I try to pick the colors based on the book covers and the square pattern is based on vibes lol

Thank you! 🥰 I sure hope so!!!!

I finished all the squares for my 2024 book blanket 📚 💙 but unfortunately it is too small to make a proper blanket. So now I have to make squares for all my 2025 reads to make a BIG BIG BOI blanket. 🧶

How are 50ft tall horse moose leopards not a mythical animal? I'm not complaining, quite the opposite, I just wanna know who was on the committee when this animal was being designed 🦒

Today's my 30th birthday and I'm going to my "surprise" party dressed as Dionysus, god of wine, madness, insanity, ecstasy, and parties! 🍷🏺

The water quality is just so terrible where I live that the filter needed to be replaced after 2 weeks, so I just removed the filter part and filled it to the brim with iced tea. Who needs water when you have sweet tea and Dr Pepper? 😅

A Zero brand water filter filled with dark Sweet Iced Tea in a refrigerator next to my baking yeast and in front of my salsa Verde.

I thought y'all might like to see the most violently southern thing I have in my home: a repurposed water filter turned Sweet Tea dispenser in my fridge 🤠 #texas #southernaf #icedtea #zerowaterfilter

Now that the Diana curtain is done, I can start on Apollon! ☀️🧶 #crochet #fibercraft #handmade

Thank you!!! 🥰

Artemis/Diana is done! Now on to Apollo(n) to match and I'll have myself some awesome handmade curtains! 🧶🏺

HELLLLL no lmao I carried a few colors under the next worked color to kinda secure them before cutting them off, but I just stuck a liner in the back to hide the 7,923 ends 😂

I do make and sell custom ones! But I would love to do an art gallery someday 😍 that would be so amazing. Thank you 🥰

Yeah, it's probably the escapism too. I've gone through so many audiobooks, I think you're exactly right. Self-preservation escapism.

I just realized I have spent the last 6 WEEKS crocheting non-stop. I have hyperfixated for 2 months and only now realized "oh shit, I have real life stuff to do" 😭 Jesus Mary and Joseph fucking christ.

Some nights are for drinking, and some are for crochet, it's all about balance 😅
