🧶 CALLING ALL KNITTERS 🧶 My friend, fellow circus artist and ecologically-minded fibre artist just released a new pattern today, if you're looking for a simple and fun winter knit. It's super cute, and available from a 31"-64" bust (79 - 159 cm). Available both on and off Ravelry (under the name Shena Tschofen), and I'll put both links in the comments below!

Lots of people commenting on the boob light in Friday's video, but we must remember that that was NOT the first boob light seen on the channel, NOR was the the most... anatomically correct... one we've seen! If you'd like to see previous boob lights (and other stunning architectural antiques), link for that video is in the description!

The world and current events can be incredibly stressful, so escape with me for half a hour into the Shire, in one of the coziest, most whimsical builds I've ever done. We've got cheerful hobbit music, creative problem solving, a variety of power tools, and the world's cutest corgi! Find the link to watch in the comments below ⬇️

Today, October 10th, marks 5 years since I uploaded my first video on the channel, so please enjoy some of my favourite photos from the topic of that video, Sherlock Hound 🐶🔎🐾

Thanks to all of you for equally making it possible, for watching the videos and starting interesting conversations in the comments... the channel wouldn't be around if nobody was watching, so a massive thank you to everyone for helping get the channel to where it is, and here's to another five! 🎂🥳

(and special thanks for those of you who've been with me since the early early days of historical costuming and sewing 🥰)

So many fun and ridiculous things happened last Friday that it's hard to choose a favourite... but IF you had to, what would you say it was?! (I'm limited to 4 options, feel free to add others in the comments)

𝖋𝖚𝖓 𝖋𝖆𝖈𝖙: today's video almost didn't get aired! 😳 That's right... I almost skipped over the entire adventure‼️ But judging by the comments, everybody is LOVING the "high drama" saga and the overflow chart! So what was YOUR favourite part of the episode?!

Who's ready for tomorrow's video? We've got a lot to get done, a lot of sticks to throw, a good look at the "finished" backyard, and lots of good jokes, laughs, and accomplishments!
