Maybe I shouldn’t ask, but I’m a curious person! Do you think $16 is too much for a knit sweater pattern? Not a particularly complex pattern which is why I ask. 🧶

Day One of our Yorkshire Dales Backpacking Adventure Weekend.
We’ve hiked from Malham to Kettlewell via ancient monastic routes, amazing glaciokarst landscapes, disappearing rivers and some incredible views. Oh, the light across the landscapes!

Couch de dogged & covered. So much dog hair. Washed the rug and under the couches. I always wonder how others keep up with it. Do you vacuum daily?

Anyone who doesn't want to vax their pets should have to clean a full parvovirus isolation ward for one week. The horrific smell, the vomiting and diarrhea, the suffering & death would change their minds about prevention. The vaccine works. It prevents suffering.

This year I’ve entered 8 open calls and have been rejected from 6. It’s also the year I’ve made 59% less sales in my online shop (I’ve sold one original in my online shop which was a £50 tree drawing). The rejection and self doubt is hitting hard at the moment.

Okay knitters, tell me if this logical. I’m struggling with whether the stop down sweater I’m knitting is ready to be divided. It’s hard to pinch around the arms to tell if it reaching around. Is it logical to lay it on top of a sweatshirt to get a read on where I’m at? 🧶

Sharing my $63 shopping trip this morning. Broccoli & cucumber off camera. Shopped the ad & app coupons. Chicken thighs $0.99. 1/2 gal cheaper than gal milk w/ app coupon. Granted this isn’t a wks worth of meals, but it fills my freezer & provides choices & fills in to make meals w/ previous sales.
