Day, styling

It's wrong that they won't let me live in a 55+ community simply due to my age. They should let you in if you match the "general vibe"

My Japanese friend had Mexican food for breakfast today. It was a 今朝ディーヤ

A digital painting of an ice cube, followed by several hands closed over each other with water pouring from them. Bold text on the art reads: "ICE MELTS".

An icy teal blue twisted Hank on a bed of untwisted hanks in the same color yarn. There is a graphic ribbon in white across which reads “Dye Mad Yarns’ 2026 color of the year is… FUCK ICE”

Our 2026 color of the year is… Fuck ICE. See this and our whole palette here: dyemadyarns.com/collections/... #knitsky #crochet 🧶

Thank you! These were already their favorites. Had to sneak the details out of them a little bit, so the presents could be a surprise. ☺️

Crochet Vileplume and crochet Squirtle wearing Squirtle Squad glasses, posed together on a table with gift bags behind them

The top angle of crochet Vileplume, showing off the petals, crown, and spots

The back angle of crochet Squirtle, showing off the tail and shell

Crocheted my friends' favorite pokemon for Christmas presents last month. I learned felting for the first time just to make the Squirtle Squad glasses 🧶 #crochet

Close up of the diamond shaped lace pattern of my knit pi shawl. The lace is worked in a maroon, hand-made wool yarn. Bordering that horizontal stripe of lace is a gray wool yarn

Most of the knit pi shawl, spread open on a table as best as I could. It's still on the needles at the top, and scrunched up since it's not blocked yet. You can see the 3 layers of gray stockinette with the 3 layers of maroon lace

Finally onto the final section of this shawl. All lace is done.
Now just 10 more rows of stockinette and garter. 5,190 stitches left!...but who's counting?

Idk who was chanting behind me 😆

Blue and white shibori diamond fabric lying along side orange and white astrology-themed fabric. They've been cut to rectangles and are ready to sew.

The outer side of the finished sewn wallet. It shows the diamond shibori fabric, and the orange fabric can be seen peeking through the side where cash would be stored

The inner side of the finished sewn wallet. The blue diamond fabric continues around to create the pleated pockets for cards. The orange fabric can be seen popping through in the center.

The wallet held upright with the cash pocket opened with my left hand

Went from
"I should sew myself a new wallet..."
to
"I sewed myself a new wallet!"
all in the same day ☺️🧶

Physical therapy’s not enough. Bring in the steamroller.

Chef outfit for Halloween. Friend has the idea to add a rat under the hat, but we couldn't find one. So we went with a raccoon, Everything Everywhere all at once-style

A set of four jack-o'-lanterns. From left to right, they're carved as a Growlithe pokemon, a pokeball, a Pumpkaboo pokemon, and Sora's Halloween mask from Kingdom Hearts

Carved pumpkins with friends! I don't think I've done this in decades. Mine is the Growlithe on the left.

_philayana You ever know that there's something wrong with your health and you keep going back to the doctor with the same issues just to be repeatedly dismissed and then, months or years later, you see a doctor who actually listens and it turns out you were right and now you're stuck wondering why it had to get bad before someone listened, why it took so long to get answers and how your health could be if you were taken seriously originally.

A set of 8 crochet glasses trays, shaped like bear faces. There are 2 polar bears, 3 brown bears, and 3 black bears

I finally finished all the glasses trays for our Japanese school teachers! 😊 It only took me 7x longer than I intended...

最近チューターと一緒に江戸時代の小説を読んでみていて、聞いたことないフレーズの「腕がない」があった。最初に文字通りで読んで、この菓子作り人は本当に腕が一本だと思っちゃった。😓

If you spend too much time on the internet, you can completely forget about the existence of straight people.

Ummmmmmmmmmmm yes, hello!
It's Spooky Lake Month!

Three cassettes standing up in front of a record player, which is being used as a speaker. In front of the cassettes is a cassette player. An aux cable winds around and connects the players together.

Cassette thrifting success ☺️

I'm either at the doctor's, going to the doctor's, coming home from the doctor's, getting a text done for the doctor's, getting ready for the doctor's, or thinking about the docgtor's

I don't think my joints knows how healthy my blood tests say they are

今年だんだん病気になってた原因はやっとわかった。高血圧薬のせいだ！薬をやめたら急に生き返って来た。

まだ高血圧を直さなきゃけど、まずは新しい診断に集中する：過剰可動性(hypermobility)と体位性頻脈症候群(POTS) 🙄

While there is great cuisine in each quadrant D is dog walking the others I'm sorry.

Crazy how much more productive I am on just 2-3 hours sleep, it's only 10am and I've already vacuumed the garden and put all my shoes in the dishwasher

I don't think we can ibuprofen our way out of this one, guys
