i don't know much about Batman or cross-stitching.

last year I picked cross stitch as a hobby knowing it would be slow, hoping its steady rhythm might teach me patience. When I began this Batman piece for my boyfriend, I knew nothing of Gotham. But somewhere between the stitches, the unpicking of mistakes, the detangling of knots, and the playful theft of threads by my doggos, I found myself booking a one-way ticket into that world. The process became its own quiet adventure, equal parts patience, undoing, and joy.

I'm mostly between hobbies, still an absolute beginner, i learn as I go.

they lost their colors overtime, but are beautiful nonetheless.

I recently found a thrifted copy of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, and it feels like the perfect way to finally start reading Mark Twain. I’ve always meant to read him someday. I’m also a huge Gilmore Girls fan, and I remember Rory mentioning Huck Finn in her Chilton valedictorian speech, something about that always stayed with me.

For those of you who already love Twain: what would you want to say to someone just beginning his work? Which of his books is your favorite, and what is it about his writing that keeps you coming back to him?

I’d love to hear what people cherish most about Twain before I begin this little journey myself.

Being between hobbies is just your room collecting side quests and weird little artifacts from every personality you’ve tried on lately.

In every letter to Vera lives a love so unparalleled, so tender, it feels less like words on paper and more like a soul laid bare.

it feels like the kind of love that stops being a person and becomes part of the landscape of your life; in the light, in the wind, in every ordinary thing you touch afterward.

which animal should I try to make next?
