a rug hook commission for @stickynotebirds! :O (who also drew the original sketch/design and I tweaked it a little bit)
#rug hooking#artists on tumblr#fiber art#had a very fun time working on this :]#I think this is the biggest one I've done so far (20x20) so that was really fun to see when it was completed#-squints- I think actually 20x21? mfhgj the backing fabric either got a wee bit stretched on the frame#or because the yarn is kinda packed in on this one haha#forgot to take a pic of the back but I printed out these little fabric tag labels to sew on#sending international mail had me sWEATING hahaha#but thank god for online making things so much easier where you just print it out/slap it on and it's fine >:'D#edit: wanted to wait till it arrived safely to post this (and it has!!)

Hey y'all! Work's been more stressful than usual (I'm covering for a coworker's vacation) and I'd love to hear some funny work stories if y'all have any you'd like to share. I'll start it off with some of the weirdest contractor interactions I've ever had: - the contractor who never went anywhere without his cat carrier full of live ferrets - the contractor who, every single time he called me, said "aren't you proud of me? You're proud of me, right? I'm your best contractor?" (he was not) - another time I was covering for a coworker and so handling paperwork for contractors I usually don't work with, and one of them spent a long time on the phone trying to persuade me to move into his cabin in the woods. His methods of persuasion were twofold: he explained how cool his truck is in intense detail (I do not care about trucks) and he bragged about how many laws he was breaking while contracting with the company I work for. I, of course, told my boss, because a lot of the laws he was breaking were basic safety things???? But him trying to brag about breaking laws to the person who handles the paperwork he just admitted to falsifying was hilarious to me
#the person behind the yarn#tj talks about work#there's also the time I had to call a contractor and be like hey! why does the customer's box truck have a big hole in the side???#and he tried to prove it didn't have a hole in it (by sending me a photo that showed the hole in the truck)#and then said it wasn't his fault IT WAS THE TREE'S FAULT#and I had to say at work while maintaining my professional tone: trees don't move#if you were driving and ran into the tree the fault does not lie with the tree#also the guy who tried to convince me to move to his cabin in the woods during our first conversation#wanted to mail me champagne???#he was baffled when I said thanks! but I am allergic to alcohol

Video pattern only (?) for this crochet candle, but the chart below is super close, yeah?
Also, this one with the light rays: LOVE!! 🧶🥰
I'm currently making a different candle version for my annual card mailing. I wanna share that when if I get my stuff together, but this is where it started. 😁

Hi, i just wanted to ask how you were doing, as I appreciate your writing a lot and would rather you didn't burn out as it is not fun (says a burnt out writer)
hey baby! thanks for checking in on me, that's very sweet of you <3 I'm doing alright, unfortunately I am getting burnt out but not necessarily on writing! I'm taking 4 classes this semester and one of them is extremely rigorous, I'm talking 2 8-minute long speeches researched, written, memorized, and performed every week. on top of that I work 40 hours and I'm trying to maintain a stable romantic relationship so i find myself with very little me time which can make it hard to write! but I'm on vacation in ny with my best friend this week so I'm hoping to unwind! We're actually writing side-by-side right now it's very cutesy and fun and healing <3
#also her grandma (we're staying with them) gave me so many knitting patterns!!! i'm going to make swatches of them i think#just to improve my skills and broaden my knowledge#we're going to a YARN STORE >:)#my friend was like it's your 21st in nyc what are we doing#and i said yarn store!!!#mei's mail

The question for this week is "Can I really speedrun a baby blanket before Saturday or am I far overestimating my ability to do that?"

if I had ur addresses I could just mail you a scarf I made and that's wild to me
#it's actually the kind of thing I'm 100% down for but not the kind of thing people ever ask#because it's probably really rude#hey albatris make me a scarf then mail it to me. for free#i would do it. once#don't pretend i have the attention span for multiple scarf#i am actually already planning this but its taking me like five years to make the scarf bc i keep getting distracted#i have literal tubs full of yarn i wouldnt even need to buy anything

head in hands.... i wanna crochet more beanies i wanna make beanies for my friends irl and on here too but i gotta know ppl's head's circumference........ and it won't be a surprise anymore sniffles how can a guy ask a lad's head size w/o being sus and making it quite clear it's to make smth
#also depending on the yarn it might not even suffice i might just need. straight up the head im making the beanie for#cos im way too much of a noobie to think i can handle just having the circumference + yarn type to figure it out#but i can't ask moots on here to send their whole head in da mail..........#so no head....anyway

I have no pictures to show but I got to complete another little quest for a neighbor! By which I mean on the neighborhood facebook group one neighbor was getting rid of a large Mickey Mouse plushie but said it needed surgery, so I commented that I did not want it but would fix it for whoever did, and a different neighbor dropped it off at my house and I sewed its arms back on for them Someday I am going to open up offers to repair plushies to the internet but for now it's just for neighbors lol
#the person behind the yarn#it's fun! this was a pretty straightforward repair#but some of them are like 3D puzzles#I want more practice fixing them before I have people mail me things to fix#I think I've fixed like...half a dozen plushies for neighbors over the years?#I gotta figure out how to limit them by smell before I offer plushie repair services online#because my asthma makes me very sensitive to smells and it would be sad if someone mailed me something to fix#and I couldn't because I couldn't be around it without wheezing :/#haven't figured out how I'd do that but it is percolating in the back of my brain
