Dance 43
It’s a quick life update with good vibes only. I have celebrated my birthday again and this year happily outlived my own mother. I was anxiously fixated for the past year on “being 42” (that same age as when my mom died). But now I feel great, and am in…

Current World Events and Nearby Crime
Hackers in Ukraine have been messing with the digital payment systems in Russia, that is exciting. I heard they are making ATMs unusable and blocking people from using public transportation too. Hopefully they get the OK from USA and everyone else to use better weapons as deep into their enemy’s…

Ukranian Eggshell Art Goes So Hard
There is an ancient pagan egg-dying craft from Ukraine called “pysanky” I first saw pictures (or maybe a gif) of it on Twitter, years ago. It’s gorgeous, when done by a practiced artist. Finely layered, cleverly designed, wax patterns with bold geometric shapes are put onto the fragile shell of…

Undone – My Sweater Blog
I’m unraveling one of my oldest handmade sweaters! It was not my first but early in my attempts at knitting a pullover style sweater. I was so excited to make one in my favorite color to wear that I didn’t carefully plan nor research the advantages of what yarn…
