Gig!!! 🎉

- Weigh the 10g of yarn that you need for your project before you leave

Things I learned (so far) on my first trip in many months/years/time:
- Do not cover the sourdough when you are going up in elevation
- Bring your own caffeine drink if you are a big sensitive picky baby about caffeine

Incredible work of art that summarizes my feelings

I feel this and therefore listen to Who Weekly, not sure if you would want to listen to celebrity gossip/media criticism though.

That's really thoughtful of you!

Are we supposed to be preparing for it 😭 I feel behind!

The life of luxury that I'll live when I have new employment:
- Buy a label maker
- Buy prescription kidney food for my sick old man cat
- Recoup savings from taking him/2 other cats to the vet
- Oil change for my car

Wow!! Luxury!!

My shopping cart is filled and ready...

If I get a new job soon my treat will be to buy a thermal sticker printer so I can make cute/professional labels for my baked goods with allergen/ingredient listings!!!

😭😅😅😅😅

The sentence "I heard from them that they have an orifice big enough!" is cursed but I don't know how else to word it 😭

😥😥

Sometimes you work so hard to raise your younger brother to be an ally but then he grows up in the first era of bigoted dudebro internet slop content and still comes out a misogynist 🫠

Been working in nonprofits for a cursed 13 years 😩 have made very little impact on the world at the sacrifice of my mental health!!!!

Get me to god's country (out of the nonprofit system)

I'm sure your dogs are Good Dogs and they have a great life because of you!

Felt depressed about the mortality of my cats tonight so they all got a treat. 🫠

Happy birthday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You are correct 😭♥️

I can assure you that she's never calling me at 5:32pm to ask me to sign off of work on time!!!!! 🤡

There's nothing to set your day's mood quite like your boss calling you at 9:02am to ask why you haven't clocked in yet

A photo of Alison's hand holding a small cat charm. The cat is smiling slightly and is in a cute kawaii style design. The charm is attached to jewelry hardware, turning it into a stitch marker, which is used to mark progress as one knits.

I CAN MAKE STITCH MARKERS SLASH KNITTING JEWELRY NOW. TIME TO BE TOTALLY REASONABLE AND NOT AT ALL OBSESSIVE ABOUT THIS!

A hand holding a bouquet of cat collars - just pieces of fabric without any hardware on. In the background is a sewing machine.

Current challenge: Sew 100 cat collars by Feb 16 for my rescue's next fundraising event. Luckily, I've prepped all of them over the months before I created this challenge for myself. They're made with fabric leftover from other sewing projects 🍀 so they're zero waste 🍀 🫡😺

An ugly photo of a chicken pot pie cut open with the inner sauce in full display lol

Tonight's dinner: Chicken pot pie via Salt Fat Acid Heat. I'm going to have leftovers for days 😮

I have discovered the dangers of Little Knits 😭

She doesn't have a car!! Where we live!!! What a trooper

My latest finished garment/accessory is a knitted Oslo hat. I'm obsessed with making these. They are so soothing and easy. I bought a bunch of clearance yarn 🤡 and plan to make one a month. Friends, let me know what color you want!

I have no plans after Feb 16! (I am helping another friend move that whole week)
