A “Little Guy” but amphora.
#CrochetArt #YarnLove #OnlyBeautifulThings #Crochet #MakingThings #ArtYear #ThinkingAboutMaking
A photo of my right hand holding a crocheted tan colored amphora. It’s one of a set of three. And yes, to know crocheting an “old pot” is weird. Also yes, that is “The Pitt” on in the background. It’s my forth? fifth? rewatch of the first season. I dunno man, I love it so much.

2026 Goal Reevaluation

The sky's the limit as I think about what I want the rest of the year to be. I spend some time on a goal review and share my thoughts.

I started crocheting again yesterday. It’s been so long.
Gotto KO this executive dysfunction.
“Suck it, brain!” 🖕🏻🧠
(Agatha butt for scale. Oh yah: I’m making a basket.)

#Crochet #WIP #CrochetLife #ExecutiveDysfunction #SuckItBrain #MakingThings #SmallDogLife #Agatha #FrenchieLife
Agatha, a small dark brindle French bulldog, is curled up asleep on a gray heating pad beside a work-in-progress crocheted basket made from dark olive-green yarn. A blue crochet hook rests inside the basket, which now has a flat round bottom and several inches of sides. The yarn trails across the blanket between the basket and Agatha. Dog toys are scattered across the rug in the background. Agatha’s round little butt provides the official scale for the project. 🧶🐾

Summer of loss

As an artist, I feel like getting to process feelings by making art is a given. Well it's not for me and I'm big mad about it.

A photo of my desk with a just started crochet project. My cutting mat is pink and my crochet hooks are lined up in size order, which incidentally is also rainbow order, my yarn is Lion Brand Pound of Love in cream? I think?, my notions box is yellow with a cartoon sardine on it that says “stinky boys in oil,” and my yellow notions bag is covered in pins. It’s so colorful it makes my whole heart happy.

Apollo Cat Productions is officially live.

We aren't really a traditional game studio. Think of us more as a small "maker collective". A tight-knit crew with a pathological need to build cool stuff. 🛠️🐈
