Text on a trans flag background: Happy Pride!
June 2026

May you find a way to celebrate in your own affirming way. You are valid. It’s okay if your identity or feelings change over time - that’s part of growing into yourself. You deserve all the loving kindness as you navigate this rather harsh and often unkind world. You are allowed to take up space and should be celebrated just as you are. ✨May you find bits of joy everywhere you go.✨

love and kindness,

Happy TDoV lovelies!💖

A transgender flag page with the following text: “Happy Trans Day of Visibility (TDoV)
Mar 31st 2026

to anyone who needs to hear this (hopefully new friends!):

You are valid. It’s okay if your identity or feelings change over time - that’s part of growing into yourself. You deserve all the loving kindness as you navigate a rather harsh and often unkind world. However, always remember that you’re made of star stuff too. Much like space, gender and identity is vast and infinite. You are allowed to take up space and should be celebrated just as you are. May you find bits of joy everywhere you go. Happy TDoV! 💖

love and kindness,

Meet Becca (they/she) a colorful creative that finds inspiration everywhere they go! Check out her makes!🧶✨

Image 1: a hunter green page with eggshell text titled “stitchdbybecca” featuring a person with long brown hair wearing a crochet hat-hood with horns, a torso showing off a purple mesh poncho, and the following text: “name/pronouns: Becca (they/she)
favorite color(s): hunter green
preferred medium(s): Crochet :)”

Image 2: a hunter green page with eggshell text titled “stitchdbybecca” featuring a person with long brown hair wearing a striped crochet beanie, a brown crochet bear and the following text: “what inspires you?
Just about anything and everything. A sign in the grocery store, a post from another artist, a pair of shoes. It could be anything.
what are your creative goals?
To have fun. I’m more of a hobbyist than a career artist. I like to play and be imperfect. Squiggly lines and uneven stitches add a funk to my projects that I prefer. It’s been a huge part of breaking down my need to be as close to perfect as possible in all that I do.”

Image 3: a hunter green page with eggshell text titled “stitchdbybecca” featuring a smiling person with long pink hair wearing a green jester-style hat, a torso wearing a brown crochet mesh collared shirt and the following text: “what does gender mean to you?
Gender means everything and nothing to me at the same time. I think gender is fake. I do not say that to erase the social and political impacts of being perceived as a certain gender or being perceived as gender diverse or trans (that is all very real). My brain just doesn’t connect with the concept of gender very well when it comes to my own gender. I’m still exploring that all for myself. Truthfully, I’d rather just not be perceived. But since that is not possible, I just do what feels good to me with little consideration for what others may think of me. I am lucky to be able to do that. Being able to honor my disconnect with gender mostly openly is a huge privilege.“ by @craft.t4t

Image 2:A green page with the title thelenaresa and a crochet raccoon plush, an axolotl pouch, and a purple hood cowl with the following text “what inspires you? Creatively I’m often inspired by my friends, that’s why I mostly create gifts or art pieces inspired by their special interests.
what are your creative goals? One of my creative goals is to invest in a very intricate or time intensive project, that is completely designed and freehanded by me. At the moment, I don’t quite know what that project will be yet.”
Image 3: A green page with the title thelenaresa and a bouquet of crochet flowers, a small round yellow bird, and a crochet otter plush with the following text “what does gender mean to you? I don’t really know how to put into words what gender means to me. I’m on a journey of self discovery right now. I think this is also a theme I would like to incorporate more into my art. I think I would describe my relationship to gender as: I would love to exist as a person in a world where gender isn’t relevant. I would love to know how I would see myself, and what kind of person I would be if gender wasn’t ever something that matters.
I think most days I would love to exist as a genderless blob and only be perceived by my style, my personality and my skills rather than my physical form. ”
