Goofy cat lover, Whovian, fiber crafter, wannabe cook, and uncompromising supporter of equal rights.

Sandhill Cranes walking in the middle of a Florida neighborhood street.
Black, short-sleeved "shrug" woven on a rigid heddle loom. The material is #10 crochet cotton and was woven as single warp with a 7.5 dent reed, double weft tabby with single rows of leno lace, producing an airy, lacy weave.
My favorite terrorist (aka cat) Gizmo in full chill mode, all curled up on his condo platform except for the one arm stretched out because, yeah. Chill.
Rigid Heddle Loom single-warped with black #10 crochet cotton in a 7.5 dent heddle (very, very loose sett). Mix of double-weft tabby and leno rows.
A red cotton crochet openwork "T-shirt" pinned to the blocking boards. The upper portion has very short sleeves, a scoop neck. The bottom section is a large border of "suspended diamonds".
Two 1/2x6" boards with rug glued to the tops. Each board has a mixture of clamps and bag clips securing the rug, along with a 1 lb hand weight on the middle section.
An empty 3 litre can/tin of EVOO.
My handsomest cat, Gizmo, at age 10 years.
My kitten Gizmo in April 2016, just over a month old.
My knitting position: the right needle is sideways and does all of the stabbing and throwing work. The left needle is braced against my stomach and pointed out and away from me.
Image of my cat rolling over comfortably while my hand pets him, making him feel secure even while fireworks are going off.
My grey tabby cat "Gizmo" cleaning himself behind the ears.
Gizmo my cat in the utmost of relaxed positions. This is the definition of "chillaxin'".
Red cotton yarn on a knitting needle. The pattern is basically stockinette, but the stitches are deliberately twisted.

My cat thoroughly snuggled up under a jersey pillow case. Nothing is showing but an ear and a tail curl.
Appears to be a bronze plate or shallow bowl. The header reads, "'Plate with Wife Beating Husband' Dinant, Belgium, 1480ce" The image depicts a woman sitting on a man's back. She is holding a hand-broom or batch of switches in the air, aimed at his bared buttocks. He looks confused as to why he is being beaten. He is on all fours, but in his hands he holds a niddy-noddy and a drop spindle. To the left of the is a floor distaff.
Gizmo, my gray tabby cat and his toy amigurumi eyeball
Six cotton hand towels waiting to be hemmed. Colors are black (background), red, and blue. Woven on a rigid heddle loom.

A Great Blue Heron chilling out on a roof.
Two halves of an indirect warp in progress. One is chain braided up and resting atop the second. The colors are black, blue, and red.
An image of civilians using chalk to recolor the Pulse Memorial rainbow crosswalk after it was removed by FDOT. The caption reads, "The 49 will not be erased."
Carlos Guillermo Smith and friends chalking the rainbow back into the crosswalk that was painted over without consent from local government. Chalk washes away without damage, therefore cannot be construed as vandalism, at least in my understanding. Just rinse and repeat.
My cat Gizmo atop his condo in the window having a nice nap with the perfectly serene "J" hook in his tail.
Ashford rigid heddle loom upside down, sporting the second half of a warp for towels, with the first half chain hitched and draped across. Blue, black and red.
Cat in loaf mode.
For those who aren't aware, there was a fire last night on the Miccosukee reservation. Mary Jane's home, a chickee at her camp, a chickee behind my grandmas house, and a building community members would make cultural crafts in were all lost in the fire. $MJTCantu is Mary Jane's cashapp.
My gray tabby Gizmo sitting patiently next to his puzzle, waiting for me to put treats in it.

Work in progress on the warp-weighted floor loom. Two sections of weaving separated by a cardboard strip.
One grumpy kitty still maintaining his dignity, even though his favorite toy is broken.
One very small, medium cooked hamburger with no extras in a condiment bowl.
A picture of Trump wearing a crown with the slogan "Long Live the King"
And lo, the people were offered a choice: human rights and dignity, or cheaper eggs. An lo! A plague descended upon the chickens. And the people blamed DEI.
