My name is James and I use this forum mostly for happy-making things. This is not the place I do my "make the world better" stuff. Therefore, I mute, block, and don't follow people who harsh that vibe. Nothing personal; use bluesky however you want! I do the same.

Definitely a glorious silver fox in the making. Darn him anyway.

Thank you! I made several of these back in the day, I need to make another (since I gave them all away).

#showmeyourknits This is from 2011, Kranium Kowl by Jennifer Thompson. #knitting

Two cowls with a colorwork motif of skulls. Top in grey with white skulls, bottom cowl is black with turquoise skulls. The skulls are a bit wonky (on purpose) to give them a weird vibe.

Now I want to see the Detroit Lions play baseball. Maybe a Banana Ball game? Can we do that?

They need to warn us! There should be a banner at the top of the page with the old and new fonts so we can see!

"Am I getting old and my eyes need a break, or did this website change it's font?" Questions I do not want to be asking, yet here we are.

We both are old enough to remember when the anthem was NOT sung before every single game ever. The best part about game #2 of a double header is they sometimes won't sing it again.

Tiny baby sweater in progress! #knitting Pattern is Assisted Hatching.

Tinyvbaby sweater in bright grass-green yarn. The yoke is done and sleeve sts on waste yarn so the sweater shape is apparent. So tiny.

A plague of periwinkles upon ye!

Possibly the problem was that he was able to get out of the locker.

Thank you!

Or parking your cart in the very center while you stop to look at stuff! No one can get past you!!!

I am super not looking forward to how my premiums are going to change. I wish there was a way to just *know* even if we can't sign up yet, but to just know what the number will be so I can start trying to cope.

gilafied 🎃👻🎃 @gilafied.bsky.social · 5d

Thank you! I did have a very nice day.

gilafied 🎃👻🎃 @gilafied.bsky.social · 5d

Tormenting myself on my 55th birthday by reading fanfic and short stories about familes who love and support one another, both found and born into. \o/ But at least I'm getting many good cries out of it?

I have made 160 charms out of scraps and sewn them together into 2x2s and about 12 are into 4x4 blocks now and my scrap bin does not look less full. Whoever snuck scraps into my scrap bin better get back here and take them.

I like anchovies, but have only ever once liked an olive (a red one that I've never eaten since.)

gilafied 🎃👻🎃 @gilafied.bsky.social · 6d

I realise that without the comma I have eaten a sandwich with brownie and bacon on it, which is actually not horrible sounding.

Day One of my week staycation to celebrate my birthday: I have accomplished nothing other than reading lots of Dick Grayson fanfic and ate a brownie and bacon sammich. I am winning at Staycations!
