Do you believe in fate/destiny? I certainly don’t believe we were destined to work jobs until we die – I rather like to think our destiny or fate is available to us when we free ourselves from the invisible prison called society. But that is a play on words. What I believe is…you can shape…

Recreating What Designer Means
Describe the most ambitious DIY project you’ve ever taken on. While waiting for a nameless someone to follow through with a promise, I decided to take on sewing and designing my own wardrobe. Fed up with ill fitting “curvy” sized garments, I set out…blindly, to accomplish my goal. From crocheting, hand sewing, and experiments in…
Hard To Explain
What is the biggest challenge you will face in the next six months? To put simply, and not give too much away – patience. There is something coming, and it’s great. But it will require everything from me, just about. I am ready, but the moment isn’t here. So I have to wait. Waiting can…
Is This a Dilemma?
What do people generally believe sustains us? Is it working and shopping, or something unseen? Hi, I’m JCS, living proof that the system maintains nothing, and I maintain myself. You’re thinking…that’s impossible. I’ve done what I’ve dreamt of just about without breaking my back. Another store is closing near me. Forever21 is closing one more…
Old Hobbies
Are there any activities or hobbies you’ve outgrown or lost interest in over time? From the age of six, both of my parents taught me to sew, crochet, paint, illustrate, and introduced me to jewelry making. I stopped briefly, or made things occasionally…but I’ve just never stopped at all. I started writing when I was…
Make No Mistake
In January of 2017, I took my eldest and family to an art exhibit for Star Wars. It showcased the costume designs for the majority of the series at the time. On our way home, we intercepted protesters for a woman’s march. One women curtly asked why I didn’t attend. I told her because I…
A Narrow Path
I seek harmony in my life, always. No constant battles over power, no struggles to gain land that was never mine. So creating helps with that. What I’ve learned, is that those who simply create are more gifted than humanity can ever comprehend. And those who talk too much have never lifted a finger or…
Current WIP
I originally wanted to use maroon yarn, as another project required it. But I suddenly became fixated with lilac! Making a wrap, and will be doing other colors soon 🥰
Not Here to Compete
There is no worser feeling than seeing someone openly competing with you – I post my accomplishments because I take joy in how far I’ve come, and I want to encourage others. I love seeing people do good! There’s never a reason to be aggressive. I’m always shocked and amazed when I get shares, likes,…
Happiest
When are you most happy? Whenever I am in the presence of my significant other, or early in the morning, when my boys clamor into my bed, with sleepy faces and quiet responses. When I can rest, and clear my mind. Feeling the ache of my feet. Whenever I think about how far I’ve come,…
