It's that fucking time of year again gang! 🎃

Sort of! It's doing better for spreading on toast, but I feel like the recipe I used called for too much sugar and not enough orange peel. Will have to tweak it!

Soooooo I sort of made marmalade... or orange peel candy? 😑 I boiled too much water out of it. Have to see if I can't introduce water back in 😅

Oh yeah! We streamed it back then! It was fun!

A tower of a sandwich stands on a plate supported by a couple of dowel rods. It stands about 7 or 8 layers of different kinds of sandwich "decks". A stuffed animal Halloween addition Scooby-Doo doll sits in the background

Throwback Thursday post! ZOINKS! Back in 2022 my partner and I had a fun day of making a real Scooby-Doo sandwich! It was a lot of fun and something we wanted to try since we were kids, 10/10 will have to do this again!

Guess who's gonna be making a BUNCH of marmalade! 😋🧡🍊

A beautiful Fly Agaric, scientific name Amantia muscaria, has a bright red cap with white spots and a white stem with a white veil that can't be seen at the photo angle.

A coveted chanterelle mushroom, scientific name Cantharellus cibarius, with the iconic golden yellow color and forked folds under a smooth and flaired cap

A delightful wood ear fungus, scientific name Auricularia heimuer, a brown fungus with a thin rubbery rumpled appearance similar to the fleshy folds of a human ear

A goopy patch of Witches butter, scientific name Dacrymyces palmatus, a shockingly bright orange mushroom with a wet gelatinous look and feel

Throwback Thursday post! Some of the awesome finds during a mushroom hunting trip back in 2022! Had an amazing time with my older brother and got to learn so much. Would really love to go again!

The underside of a turned-over sewing table showing a broken wood leg. The base has been repaired to sit in its place and has been braced with a long metal wood working clamp

An extended image of the turned-over sewing table to show the full length of a long wood working clamp.

Made some progress on repairing my vintage sewing table's leg. Lightly hammered the leg's base into place with some wood glue and clamped it secure while it dries. Thankful for my ridiculously long furniture clamp I've had for some time now. Makes repairs like these possible!

Plate of a toasted slice of Italian round loaf bread smeared with onion jam and a fried egg on top

My partner made the best onion jam, and it has taken breakfasts to a whole new level of scrumptious! Pan toasted bread has been made even better 😋

Bowl of tomato soup next to a grilled cheese sandwich on a black plate

Looooove when my partner make soups! An awesome roasted tomato soup and of course a grilled cheese 😋 warm, homey, delicious! Thank you, baby!

A table is set for a Halloween dinner. 3 places are set with a bead bowl colored orange and shaped like pumpkins on each plate. There are foods set to be served; a whole pumpkin pie, a platter of deviled eggs, and a large soup tureen shaped like a pumpking holds an autumn stew. The table is decorated with a colorful cloth in autumn colors with leaves, candles, mini pumpkins, and an autumn corncopia.

Throwback Thursday post! Halloween of 2021 I got to host a dinner with friends. My friend Sirius found the most adorable pumpkin bread bowls to tie the whole thing together!

Mold turned out really well! It's surprusingly soft still, which is good to wrap around. But I hope it won't warp once taped in place. One step closer to repairing my sewing table!

Two masks sit on a wooden table. One is a half mask, cut off just under the eyes, covered in burlap and cross stitching. The mouth is a smile made up of course black twine with a cross stitch across it. The other is a full-faced mask painted white and colorful details to depict a sugar skull design.

Throwback Thursday post! I got to have my younger brother visit in Oct 2021 and made these masks for us to romp around in. We still have ours to this day! Missing him right now, hope to visit soon!

Box of " Amazing Super Mold Putty", the box is yellow and features examples of the yellow putty making full impressions of different objects.

Thank god I have a local woodworkers supply shop near me. Every tip I see about repairing broken wood furniture says to use this molding kit, but it's not avaiable online anywhere but ebay! What happened, did they go outta business? Have to be sure to make this stuff last!

A library card sits on a granet counter. The card is black with a color blocked, stylistic graphic of a book sitting open with the pages fanned out. Made up of orange, blue, red, pink, and predominately white. There is balck text on the graphic that says "LET FREEDOM READ"

Got a library card today! If you have time and access I highly encourage getting one in you area. Not only does it help support them you'd be surprised what services you can access for free! My library has a craft lab for the community to use machines too big and expesive for most to have at home!

Another move, another breaking of the foot on my antique sewing table 🙃 I've done some studying this time and I think I can repair it better now. Fingers crossed this year it is restored for good.

My bad! Not Chicken of the woods but chanterelle mushrooms! That's why he was so excited to find such a large batch

Love this book, fun fact about the cover. This was a photo taken at a wedding he was asked to play in a band (hence the trumpet). While out having a doobie he saw a huge cluster of chicken of the woods mushrooms and trudged off. The photo is of his triumphant return to the venue.

The faces are ao expressive and I love the historical costume design work you did, it's beautiful

Adorable liquid cat 💚

A pair of senior american pitbulls lounge on a pile of pillows in front of an unlit fireplace and tv. One is a tan and white boy laying facing away from the camera. The other is a girl that is black with tan doverman markings facing towards the camera, asleep.

Throwback Thursday post! Back in 2021 a time I got to petsit these adorable pups. The best things in life are fleeting, missing you both Rocco and Lucky❤️

Photo of a hibiscus shrub focusing on a large pink Double Hibiscus blossom

Got to see this today, taking it as good fortune. Double Hibiscus are so lovely, the extra petals are like a fancy lady's petticoat 💕

happy may day here is a painting I did a long time ago

And they were delicious!

As one with anxiety in these scary times I keep a montra.

"No amount of fear will make me safe. No amout of waiting will make me brave."

Do not be driven by fear, do not hide waiting for better times.

As FDA regulations are slashed we're going to see more of these. Sharing the latest.
