Your Daily Crafting Community

Hello, all!

I'm very excited to have found y'all -- I haven't posted many times in the check-ins but I'll try to be a bit more consistent from here on out. I'm perspi, and have been fannishly-connected since like, 2005? 2006? (honestly I discovered fanfic while on Television Without Pity forums, and from there it was an LJ account leading to...many multiple places, heh). I have been crafty forEVER, though, doing plenty of creating in 4-H for my teenagerhood.

I've invested the most time in quilting, but I also like to knit, crochet, and cross-stitch. I'm getting started into sewing garments -- one of my goals for this year is to sew up some more dresses for myself and have a more me-made wardrobe -- and I primarily share my makes and process on Instagram here. (I used to be real cautious about connecting my RL identity to my fannish one; I'm still fairly cautious but more OK with the bleed-through. If any of my students actually manage to find my fic at this point, like, good for them? But I'll probably link more IG pics here, as it's an easy way to share photos.)

If you don't have IG, here's a post from last year that has some of my favorite fairly recent quilt makes. I...don't actually have much for more recent quilt pics, because this past summer I spent most of my time sewing masks.

I'm excited to meet everyone and cheer y'all on in your crafty endeavors!!
