excuse the dust

it certainly has been a minute. radio silence since my last show well over a year ago now - longer than i'd ever wanted. but. life happens.

initially i meant to take last year a bit slow. build online presence as opposed to the in-person events i was doing, do some development for new products, get into school for art and business in the fall to firm up my fundamentals. i even completed the fafsa and qualified for maximum assistance. started studying for placement tests.

then my dad died.

plans never survive part of your world collapsing.

i've been non-functional for the better part of the last year. art, for work or pleasure, has been beyond me. school was out of the question. life has been a blur. and my health declining alongside it all.

so. things remain more fluid than i care for. but the knitch? that's gonna be a constant.

my ability to take on art and admin has been slowly returning. so far, it's felt most correct to only take on the most selfish of projects - a pincushion (for myself) in a tin. a t-shirt dress (for myself) from my own scrapped shirts. a large-scale piece that will likely take me over a year. who knows if i'll finish these things? not me. but i'm limbering back up, learning, and working on taking these things seriously again. 2024 showed me i could.

there are so many things i still want to do here. and we will. thank you for your patience, if you're still kicking around. thank you for rooting for me.

stay tuned. but until then?

make something every day. 💜
