Ain’t that purty? This is made out of the yarn that Yawning Lion brought to me as a gift back in September. The colors are just lovely, a really rich medium blue and purple, and the color that looks white in the picture is actually a very very pale seafoam green. Very […]
One of my major, though heretofore unstated, goals in creating and maintaining this blog is the dissolution of stereotypes. I post pictures of myself, not out of narcissism, but because mainstream media almost never provide images of regular fat women going about their regular unexceptional business.
