I don't at all understand the mindset that crafting (and by extension craft blogs, etc.) should be kept sanitized of activism and politics. Crafting is who we are -- why would it be so shocking for it to reflect what we believe in?
I have said so many times that "stick to the knitting" is a horrible message because those that are suffering don't have the ability to turn something off. They feel that suffering in every aspect of their lives.
My kinda thing! While I was waiting, I had a good snoop around your blog and shop and all the things. I'm not a hand embroiderer at all, but I love your art and how you write, and your whole set-up. I need to sort out my (paused) Etsy, and never heard of Payhip, so thanks for that too! Looks good.
Thank you so much, Zoe. :-)

No...it is very strange. Craft and activism has gone hand in hand for decades...

Yes! So very much this!
Following you because of this (and the spaghetti ampersand, and rage stitching…) 🥰
Thank you! (Sorry it took me so long to respond!)
I'm happy that someone else appreciates the spaghetti ampersand! 😀😂

Thank you very much! 😊 I really like Payhip, very simple to use and not all those extra fees that Etsy pile on... 🙄
Also, that someone would go to the trouble of unfollowing and STILL feel the need to let you know 😆 baffling!
Exactly! What did she expect me to do with that information?! 😂
