I know it’s just another floral embroidery, but I wanted to do some flowers that grow native (actually, no idea if they’re native, but they were in my PNW garden when we moved in, and I haven’t yet killed them in 5 years, so I say native enough). Forget-me-nots, strawberry geranium, and lily-of-the-valley. I started this a year ago, hated how the lily-of-the-valleys turned out, and stuffed it in a cabinet for 10 months. Recently had a lot of hours sitting in waiting rooms, so decided to power through. I might have to keep adding to my little flower garden!

Made this little moth buddy for my 2-yr old nephew, and decided he needed some pants. And then a little vest. Oh and also a skirt, and a dress, and a swimsuit and a sweater and a bag and a scarf and a sun hat and a beanie. And my nephew is really into sumo, so of course moth buddy needed his own mawashi or two. Then he needed a wardrobe box to store everything because I love my sister and am not going to send all this stuff without somewhere to put it. And then I needed a stand so I could make this video, so I found this little oval at home depot (I think you’re supposed to mount a stair handrail to it). I had some brass rod in the garage, cut it to size and smoothed it out, then drilled holes to insert the rods. They are a little… stabby/impaley, so I didn’t glue them in so she can take the pegs out for safety when they’re not using it.

[Pattern](https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/miku-the-moth?set=&\_rfoff=1) is by Sweet Softies. I will say I did some accidental modifications, as he mysteriously ended up quite a bit shorter than the original, so I must have missed several rounds in the mid-section. Somehow?? (I’m starting to notice a trend in myself, ha!)

I freehanded all of the clothing, so no pattern links there. I dunno, I’m totally chuffed with the lil guy. If he wasn’t setting off to his new home, I could totally see him being friends with Impy&Co! I’ll try to include some still photos somewhere.

Also me: Oh.

Claw clips= easy halfass hairdo, but the moment I get in the car I have to rip it off my head because I can’t stand the feeling of it touching the seat. The back of my head must protrude or something. Just a big sensory no. I also saw once that a girl had gotten in a wreck, and the back of her head got really torn up from a claw clip, and I can’t not think of that every time. But that final step of putting it back on before going inside will always elude me, I fear. This is a pretty light haul. Once I found 7! How can I be completely blind to SEVEN claw clips overflowing out of my center console, literally having to dig through them to find chapstick, and not think of them when I’m tearing through all the drawers in the house looking for them. Does not compute. And I thought time blindness was bad enough!
