[ID: Three images; top right, several quilted pieces are laid out, which in the top left image have been sewn together to make a bag lined with fabric covered in camping-themed images. Bottom image is a large front view showing the finished bag; the fabric patchwork contains dachshunds, California Flag bears, and on the sides, dinosaur skeletons, with more camping fabric for the strap. There is a heart stitched onto the front, a Chicago Ornithological Society patch on the flap, and two buttons that look like clock faces, which hold the flap shut with elastic loop closures.]

The sewing project I referenced recently is nearly complete! It's a toddler-sized messenger bag with loop closures friendly to little fingers for my baby niece U, daughter of my brother-from-another-mother R. U will be two years old this July, although the gift is for when I see her this April.

I was sad to learn in a recent conversation with R that he and his wife Q, who I liked very much, are divorcing. I can't say I was entirely surprised; I love R but both he and Q are strong personalities and they've been dealing with a lot, separately and as a couple. Baby U is young enough, and her parents both self-aware enough, that it's been as easy on her as it can possibly be, but it's still a big upheaval for a tiny child and I thought she might like to have a little bag made just for her, for treasures or a stuffed toy or similar.

Besides, messenger bags are the one "fashion" thing I'm into, and as the Messenger Bag Uncle I have to make sure she learns early how fantastic they are.

during my day today I have crocheted a failed Micro bee, a micro bee, a fail headphone stem, a headphone stem, half a leggy frog, a given up single glove, and a given up snake.

I will post the bee and headphone stem tmr because they are so cute with my blue beats!! <33

Finally finished the book nook project I got for Christmas! Aziraphale's Bookshop (Knockoff Edition) is now housed in with my novels.

This is not a great project to do when you have measurably low manual dexterity and an attention disorder, but that's part of why it took so long, I went really slow and was really careful, used a lot of glue and q-tips and multiple scalpel blades. I still fucked up a handful of things, but if you can't spot 'em I'm not gonna mention them. :D

[ID: Four photographs of one of my bookshelves, with all my novels on it; dividing the Shivadh novels from the rest is a small diorama of a bookstore, designed to look like you're peering into the space between books. It has a central room with a bench, a napping dog, and a fireplace; upstairs there are bookshelves, a desk, and a free-standing rack of books. Two of the images show it lit by LEDs wired into the walls. It looks cozy and somewhat like a slightly-clumsy tenth-grader assembled it.]

Tolkien was really good at tertiary characters, is the thing. He was also really good at primary characters, but I adore every background hobbit that we learn 1.5 things about and every Rider of Rohan who gets two lines and every tangential citizen of Gondor. They always have so much personality and much of the time they are VERY funny. Such a delightful smorgasbord of ridiculous background weirdos in these books.

It was beautiful

I cried a lot

The timing of all of this - especially Sam's journey - hits in a real fucking way that I need to sit with

Thank you Aabria and Danielle. I needed all of this.
