I foster kittens, play video games, sometimes draw, sometimes bake, sometimes go adventuring. The resident animals are 2 dogs (Zadie and Coco) and 2 cats (Mabel and Dipper).
Pinned
Feeling down? Have some pictures of Coco being an excellent foster sibling.
I don't super subscribe to astrology but I do exhibit many stereotypical Virgo traits. For instance overplanning, list making, and perfectionism 😅
One of my (now) five note pages for these blankets. The girls picked their colors so I'm trying to plan everything out. Nothing left to chance!

Two more test squares to make sure that one good one wasn't a fluke. (Younger Niece helped me with blocking. 💜)
Some numbers:
3 pages of notes so far
2 blankets x 117 panels per blanket x 3 hours per panel = 702 hours not including blocking/joining
1 nervous auntie

I DID IT! Look at this decent square. Took me a week of YouTube videos and learning and practicing real crochet stitches and failure and more failure but I finally made a decent concept square to base the girl's blankets off of. 👍
Now to figure out how to disappear that string end lol

Organizing the yarn of my niece's deceased grandmother is, honestly, extremely weird. I only met her a couple of times but she seemed like a lovely lady. I hope my noob attempts at making blankets for her granddaughters would make her happy.

Younger Niece came home from her dad's with 27 full skeins of yarn and 14 slightly-to-very used skeins.
Let the practice begin in earnest! By next Christmas I will have made two adequately crocheted blankets for my nieces with their grandma's yarn. Let's do this - adhd will not derail me this time!

Ex SIL is off work this year so she's cooking most of Thanksgiving dinner. Brooke decided she wanted to try and recreate a cranberry sauce recipe from her work. I've just been sitting here watching Stranger Things, crocheting, taste-testing their efforts and offering encouragement. 😂

Tried to play SILENT HILL F FOR FORTE (get it, forte means loud) but my computer is a decade old. The stuttering, even in the most potato of settings, made me so queasy I had to quit.
Back to BG3, I guess.

Sorry I can't stop thinking about The Long Walk. It doesn't matter how you interpret the ending - he'll never be able to stop walking. Living or dead, it's part of him now, forever.
Apparently it's part of me forever too. I loved and read the book multiple times but the movie just hits different.

Younger Niece asked me to make her and her sister blankets out of their deceased grandma's yarn. Now I have to actually learn how to crochet instead of making random loops in yarn for fun.
