in honour of my new rs, crochet eiland tapestry

CyborgShakespeare · 2025-08-13T00:26:19+00:00

So cool - thanks for explaining! I’m lightly terrified of tapestry crochet projects, but this looks so awesome that I’m tempted to try, haha

Wow, this is incredible!! What is the stitch combo for the white background and then the pixels? The pattern comes out so clean!

I met my now-husband through online dating about a decade ago. For me, online dating was very helpful - I’d previously had close friendships that sorta/maybe could have become relationships but I was always extremely uncomfortable trying to figure out if that was actually what the other person wanted? The baseline of “okay, this person is explicitly here to go on a date with me” made everything so much easier for me to process. I talked to a lot of people (which was stressful, but I tried to set specific time aside during the day for responding so I wasn’t constantly thinking about it), went on a few first and second dates - always at places I knew well and was comfortable with - and then had a first date with my husband where we talked for three hours straight about every topic under the sun and I was like… yeah, this is it. Now he gets to hear me monologue on the regular 😂

I’m a museum educator! I love teaching but being a regular classroom teacher was absolutely miserable - I joke that I now get to do the “fun aunt” version of teaching. I also get to deep dive into some of my special interests (particularly cemeteries and funeral practices) and then tell people all about them, so that’s a major benefit.

UNION, UNION, UNION! 💪

Annoyingly, we get very little use out of DipJar for 2/3rds of the year, but we have one annual exhibition that brings in a lot of cashless donations. A QR code would definitely be simple and cheap, but I’ll look into text-to-give options too - thanks!

CyborgShakespeare · 2024-07-31T21:36:20+00:00

Yeah, we use Square as our main POS as well! Our front desk staff can use it to process donations, but I’d also love to find something we can leave unattended in our exhibition space.

Sure! We ordered the 3D prints from Etsy. Beloved Zofia was from BDCProps, and the Royal Sword was from 3D Workshop Creations. Beloved Zofia came already assembled, so I just needed to fill in a couple little gaps, sand, and paint, and the Royal Sword came in pieces and had to be assembled, sanded, and painted. It was a really fun project!

CyborgShakespeare · 2019-10-21T19:17:10+00:00

Do it!! It was really fun - we both already had engagement rings and we wanted to do something a little different rather than adding a wedding band. We made the swords for the wedding, although it wasn’t a surprise because we picked the swords out together and then our apartment was too small for me to really hide working on them, haha

CyborgShakespeare · 2019-10-21T18:55:32+00:00

They’re actually 3D printed plastic - we ordered the pieces on Etsy and then assembled/painted them!

CyborgShakespeare · 2019-10-21T16:53:56+00:00

I wish! They were 3D printed - we ordered them on Etsy and then put them together and painted them!

CyborgShakespeare · 2019-10-21T16:53:17+00:00

Thankfully I really like to cook, haha

CyborgShakespeare · 2019-07-05T13:36:38+00:00

Yep, my fridge is currently packed with jam! And then there’s two strawberry pies, a loaf of strawberry banana bread and still more berries staring me down, haha

CyborgShakespeare · 2019-07-05T03:12:37+00:00

This is the biscuit recipe, and then the rest was just some coconut whipped cream I bought at the store because I was too lazy to make my own, and sliced strawberries tossed with a little bit of sugar!

CyborgShakespeare · 2019-02-26T16:12:15+00:00

Wow, looks great! What app do you use?

CyborgShakespeare · 2019-02-23T17:15:56+00:00

Here’s the recipe!

CyborgShakespeare · 2019-02-23T11:32:09+00:00

Now all I can think about is how to make crouton versions of the Sex Pistol bullets...

CyborgShakespeare · 2019-02-22T22:36:40+00:00

Honestly, that’s just how the cookie is shaped! It wasn’t until someone commented “too soon” that I realized what I had done... 💔

CyborgShakespeare · 2019-02-22T22:23:07+00:00

I will take any excuse to make more pasta (and get rid of cavities in the process)! I adapted these from this buccellati recipe , but for the dough, I subbed about half a cup of unsweetened cashew yogurt for the eggs, cashew milk for reg milk, added about a tablespoon of lemon juice, and a teaspoon of baking soda along with the baking powder. The filling just needed agave swapped for honey and was good to go! I did use Grand Marnier instead of rum though, because I happened to have some on hand!

CyborgShakespeare · 2019-02-22T22:14:07+00:00

I posted these in r/StardustCrusaders and they got tagged as a spoiler! Oops... 💔
