FIRST SNOW!

In celebration, I have pulled out my favorite mittens
December 5, 2025 at 1:16 PM
DONE!

Designed and made by me 😁 off of Alice Starmore's instructions, and help from a friend writing that central fish cable

This took me 5 years, several moves, and a lot of cursing like a sailor, but I'm quite proud of how it turned out

I'm so excited to send it off to its recipient now 😊

AT LAST!!!

(for context: I started knitting this sweater in 2020; lots of life things happened, and it took much longer than I expected to finish, but THE END IS IN SIGHT)

my D&D group had to travel through a demonically-fueled mushroom forest. I wanted to draw it:

Sewing projects day! I am gonna make up a cute button-up shirt with this fabric; I'm hoping to finish it this weekend

I've got a fun playlist of musicals to sing along with while I'm working too 😊

My friend really liked a puffer vest that looked like a ribcage; I'm attempting to hack a pattern and make one for her

Pretty pleased? It looks like the thing!!

A thing making me happy today is: new book to read!

(I reallllly really love her second book, Vampires of El Norte, which is a perfect blend of childhood friends-to-enemies-to-lovers and a road-trip horror)

This one sounds like it will be more classic Creepy House/Weak Man horror

I have a normal amount of vampire movies now; why do you ask

(I like having physical copies of things I want to see over and over)

Pro gaming is called figuring out how to prop up the controller so I don't have to actually lift it
September 26, 2025 at 4:02 PM
I also think it'd work maybe with this (nested game-within-a-game perhaps?), which is a really short ruleset I've always wanted to try

I've been struggling to read anything lately, which means it's NEW BOOK TIME

this one sounds creepy and interesting:

Hi, I need all of you to watch Murderbot. This is from the first 10 minutes of the first episode, and I can't tell you *why* I ended up staying up until 1am watching the entire thing and sobbing, bc there are spoilers in there, but I did, and it's such a good story
