My hobbies are all excuses to collect pretty colors. I enjoy knitting, sewing, running, trombone-ing, gardening, & sci-fi short stories. Coding when necessitated and occasionally for fun. Microbiology for fun & (non-)profit.


Getting back into sewing (after a break for Zelda) with a small project: a bookmark for a friend! We're doing a bookmark Secret Santa so I'm eager to see what I get.

This is also technically my first finished quilt top, if a bookmark counts.

The small squares are cotton batik scraps (mostly Hoffman Forest Floor batiks), and the orange side is that same yellow/pink linen chambray I made my pajama set with.

I put a buttonhole in so that the tassel/ribbon can be replaced or removed. Sometimes those are just too bulky for the book!

g'morning everyone. I just made a gofundme for my oral surgery fund. If you previously donated, I have deducted what you donated from the goal of the GFM.

For those just tuning in, here’s the sparknotes:

-My job botches transfering me to a new location at the start of the month. They cut me to part time hours, and my ability to earn commission gets nerfed. My income is now 1/3rd what it used to be.
-I was only just starting to bulk my savings back up. I only have just enough to cover my bills for this month and some of next month.
-I am looking for another job.
-I experience pain and swelling in my jaw. I go to the dentist for an emergency visit to learn I have a root infection
-Get pressured into doing a bone graft and implant on top of the extraction which my insurance did not cover.
-Bill is $4000. It is currently sitting on a carecredit card meaning I am unable to negotiate with the dentist office about a payment plan. I have 6 months to pay this bill in full or get charged 29.9% interest(roughly another $1200.)

I am unable to afford this and be ruined by this. I only just got my life together. Please help if you can.
