It's a beast! The longest wire is about 86cm long and will go through the body and head. Crocheting is slow and steady😁

Ex-Teen Vogue editor Elaine Welteroth: ‘The headlines implied I was a token black hire’ Welteroth was just 29 when Anna Wintour made her editor-in-chief. Months later, the magazine shut down. What did she do next?

Trying to make a dent in projects I need to finish. But first, tetris to block pieces that need to be straightened before sewing...2 different projects on the board here.

Thank you! I'm not particularly fast but many of the patterns I like require attention to detail. This one is also a challenge to get the balance once legs are attached...that's my most stressful part.😂

If you have a RING door system, ICE has the right to request that footage and use it against you or your neighbors.

RING is partnering with the Gestapo.

thank you! I'll try to be more vigilant. My handle on IG is Hook and Adder, if you have a handle there too. I am trying to be better at posting here though 😂

I'm fundraising as I've been accepted to a Women Conserving Southern Africa congress happening in Botswana in Feb. A local chapter of a bird org is going to raffle or auction off 2 of my projects. 1 is complete and this shoebill has 1 wing + legs left before I can assemble. 🤞❤️

Thank you! It's a fun pattern to bring to life!❤️

Thank you!❤️

I've made one last year, testing the pattern for the designer. It was amazing. Just a lot😂 Hopefully done in the next 2 weeks🤞

How will the dismantling of USAID affect U.S. relief efforts in Jamaica? USAID was the lead American agency in disaster response. Now that it's been dismantled, questions are arising about how effective U.S. relief efforts will be in Jamaica after the hurricane.

I finished this #pangolin on the weekend for a friend. The weather was dry enough for photos outside. I've got another in line for assembly.❤️

‘AI psychosis’ discussions ignore a bigger problem with chatbots Don’t frame chatbot failures as human “insanity.”

“Relying on chatbots isn’t fringe — it’s the predictable result of care made scarce, stigmatized, and costly. Recognizing that doesn’t mean uncritically embracing chatbot care, but it’s past time to name what’s happening: Privately owned chatbots are functioning as public health resources.”

That one is a beast!😂 I'm excited to say that he'll be raffled or auctioned off by a local chapter of BirdLife here in SA, along with a shoebill that I'm smack in the middle of making 😂 Have to be done by mid-November.

Thank you!! I hope she's happy with her! I think she's quite pretty although I feel like I may have over stuffed the horns🤦‍♀️

I have been so slack on posting stuff. Here's a dragon I finished for a client last week. I'll ship off, hopefully, on Sunday.

Handmade by me using a design and pattern by Crafty Intentions.
