Been in a bit of a funk and have no crafting mojo, boo. Also our TV decided to die this week and while it’s a pain in the butt I am reminded that it’s nearly 10 years old so we really got our money’s worth. Replacement is coming today which means we can finish Hacks tonight!

Headed to the community theater to watch my son’s partner perform this evening, if my itchy, blurry eyes can see by the time I get there. Stupid, sexy wildfire smoke.

Went to my first Pride with my youngest babe and my kid-in-law yesterday and we had so much fun! Don’t know how the drag performers were able to stand the heat in their makeup and glorious costumes but they were magnificent and I’m already looking forward to next year!! 🌈 #HappyPride 🌈

I got woken up way too early for a Saturday and my brain has decided that we need to get into needle tatting in retaliation. I’ve tried shuttle tatting so many times and it’s never worked for me but sure, brain.

Husband got a 3D printer and made me a little dude. I decided he was chilly so I made him some clothes.

Babysitting the 5-year-old nephew today and the door had barely closed behind his parents before he said “So what we gonna DO?” and asked for a donut.

#GNU Sir Terry. I wish I could tell you your books are like a life raft in increasingly stormy waters.

it's a beautiful day to help a neighbor, pet a dog, and say trans rights

Today is Mr. Big Juicy Baby’s 3rd gotcha day! He was a stray found by my mom’s landlord who couldn’t keep him, and having just lost my wonderful Bean she knew I had a lot of love to give with nowhere to put it. He’s the sweetest, most gentle giant and so loved by all of us.

I hope we’re all still here when this bullshit is over.

And I hope all this bullshit is over someday.

Husband has planned a Valentines date to a used book store, some yarn shopping, and a Tex-Mex dinner. I feel so seen!

Let Rizzo off leash in our fresh coating of snow and he went absolutely bonkers, I’ve never seen him so happy! Now snug as a bug and snoozing on the couch. He’s the absolute best.

Knit my first #MeltTheICE hat this weekend but had to do it flat since somecat (who will remain unnamed coughRINCEWINDcough) ate my circular needle. I don’t love it but it’ll work, and my new needles are on the way so I can do it properly. This first one will go to my Dad I think!

Watching The Legend of Billie Jean with my sister, which is a pretty good indicator that we’re both frustrated about something or other.

We went out for emergency snow storm supplies (bread, cookies, frozen pizza <WHICH I FORGOT, ugh> and yarn) and the stores were nutso. Our local Aldi’s bread shelf was a ghost town, it was like covid shutdown-era shopping. I think I’m gonna crochet and eat a bunch of junk until spring.

I don’t want to cook supper, I want to crochet and sip hot tea on this glorious, grey autumn day, but my nephew just moved home and requested sausage gravy and biscuits so I’m making him sausage gravy and biscuits. The crochet will keep, and I’m grateful I get to feed this big kid again.

Decided I absolutely HAD to have a crochet tapestry No Kings sign less than 12 hours before we marched. I somehow got it done in time (just don’t look at the back)! It’s wonky because of the rush but it was a big hit! Pattern was from morningcrafter.com/free-pattern...

I went to the thrift store today and found these three sitting together and thought, hmm, this is familiar…

Waiting for some yarn to start my next #crochet project so I cast on a knit hat and after I’d done all the increases (184 stitches!) put the project down for 2 seconds. Rincewind the cat chomped the cable on my Chiaogoo needle. This is the second pair he’s ruined. I am sad. #knit

Rincewind doesn’t know how to sleep like a normal cat. Look at the teefies!

Love it when the alarm reminding me to take my anxiety meds goes off at volume eleventy billion and scares the absolute shit out of me, further necessitating said anxiety meds.

My Ohio city isn’t very big but the turnout for the No Kings protest was PACKED with folks from all walks of life. Our voices downed out the couple of counter protesters driving back and forth with a megaphone and I got to watch my (adult) kiddos starting and leading chants. I have hope today.
