  1. Progress on #PixelSmaug, now 2/3 into page 2 and some into page 3 as well. 50 shades of white 😵‍💫 I treated myself to a gorgeous needle minder by Awesome Pattern Studio.

  5. I FINISHED PAGE ONE!! Appart from the missing floss, but pssshhh. That pattern is confetti hell 😵‍💫 I even invested in a markup app, something I usually never do, but I was getting so cross eyed looking for the stitches in the pattern. #PixelSmaug #crossStitch #xstitch #fiberart #smaug #tolkien @fiberarts erart

  6. I continued on #PixelSmaug in the last couple days and I go nuts 🫠 it's just pure confetti!! AAAAAHHHHHHH!!!! But at least I get closer to finishing page 1. Of 12 🥲 #CrossStitch #xstitch #embroidery #fiberart #tolkien #smaug #dragon

  7. At least page 1/12 is now outlined 🫠 The majority of the lower left corner will be filled with black. Looking forward to add colors to it! #PixelSmaug #crossstitch #embroidery #xstitch #tolkien #smaug #dragon #fiberart @fiberarts

  8. Not much progress on project #PixelSmaug in the last days because for whatever reasons my brain decided it's extremely satisfying to wind and sort my entire floss collection. This is about half of the floss I need for Smaug alone lol. That thing is BIG. #CrossStitch #xstitch #embroidery #fiberart @fiberarts #Smaug #Tolkien

  9. And so it begins, project #PixelSmaug, based on an artwork by Wil Shrike, pattern by Thread Geeks (do not reccommend them anymore, since this year they almost exclusively do AI slob).

  10. I always thought that #JRRTolkien's #Smaug was a metaphor for the #IndustrialAge and #WealthHoarding. It seems I'm not alone! #Tolkien was actually an #environmentalist and possibly a #socialist (though he describes himself as an #anarchist). Does that mean #LOTR will be banned by #Fascistic #Capitalists? Hmmmm...

    #Dragonomics: Smaug and #ClimateChange

    Excerpt: "Today, we talk about dragons. I refer specifically to the greedy, northern (often fire-breathing) variety as described in Beowulf and featured in Tolkien’s #Hobbit, and I will consider how these monsters present #EnvironmentalCatastrophe as a direct result of #hoarding and #greed.

    "My discussion of dragons and climate change continues my recent series of blogs interested in placing medieval literature (and in this case also modern medievalism) in conversation with current crises. This blog develops an earlier argument made in a paper at a 'Tolkien in Vermont' conference (2014), titled 'Dragonomics: Smaug and #Pollution on Middle-Earth,' in which I argue that pollution in Tolkien’s Hobbit is linked to both the literal destruction by the dragon, and the rampant greed that motivates Smaug and ultimately initiates the plunder and violence at the Battle of Five Armies."

  15. Wishing it were a Smaug check that I just got done, instead of a smog check. Would have been more exciting! 🤪 #smaug

  16. Just casually trying to video some fresh tiktok stuff on why the security awareness industry needs to take a long hard look at itself and Sméagol is repeatedly bombing into me. I have no use able takes and have decided that Sméagol cuddles are way more important. Especially as I had a nice LinkedIn comment battle about how public WiFi is fine and people who can't do risk assessments and only want to do 'awareness' are the problem.
    Smaug has decided that ekekeking the pigeon is more important than anything and Gimli wants cuddles but keeps being bapped by Sméagol

  22. Today Smaug decided that I am her bed. She has meowed pitifully everytime she wants help onto my lap and then (unlike the boys) goes to sleep FOREVER

  23. Me and Smaug relaxing under the finished honeycomb knitted blanket!

  26. Is there anything more delightful as you prepare to sleep than a warm purring cat asleep on you in the dark, claws dug in just enough to let you know that there's nowhere they'd rather be.

  27. I am a quarter of my way through knitting this blanket (featuring Smaug who insisted that it was, in fact, knitted enough for her to use already) and the wool I ordered for a dark shawl version has arrived.
    I am now very tempted to have two giant projects in the go. I am also very aware that beautiful locally sourced and hand dyed wool of good quality is wonderful and I can only ever afford it in the sale and that there are no more sales for the foreseeable, so I can't buy more.

  28. I made a Posca pen dragon for my Uncle. He recently gifted me a cool book of Tolkien's illustrations so this was inspired by 'Conversation with Smaug'.

    I cleaned it up and put it on Redbubble too!
