My sister makes incredible snowflakes too. I’ve been hanging these in my kitchen windows every Christmas for about 20 years

I’m hanging the paper snowflakes in the windows. I think this is the best one I made last year. Sharp scissors and thin paper ftw!

I knew this meme would come in handy
2 panel meme from Scooby Doo. Panel1: masked villain with text “Something I used to love sucks now”, Fred reaches over to pull off the mask with the words “Let’s see who’s behind this”. Next panel shows the unmasked villain with the words “Private Equity”. Fred looks unsurprised

Froggy protest hat. I will publish this as a free pattern on Ravelry in the next week or so.

It’s worsted weight, and a very quick knit!

Bucket of candy (peanut M&Ms) ready to go for tonight. Even though we haven’t had a single trick-or-treater in 25 years. Maybe this will be the year! 🤞

This was my Halloween bucket when I was a kid, so I guess it’s officially vintage

I’m looking for good sign ideas for tomorrow’s #nokings rally. I’ve got one side figured out but need something for the reverse side. Any suggestions?
