Bagel

oh! Have I mentioned I'm having a SALE on my brand new website? Through the end of the month, absolutely EVERYTHING is 40% off.
The upcoming Tula Pink Drop later this month is NOT included in that, though. Any interest in a pre-order?

I neeed to find a better social media organizer thing.

a thumbnail image of fabric from Tula Pink's Roar! line of designs. This one is called Tree Rex, and has a tyrannosaurus in a teal-green color, surrounded by bright pink pots of floral designs which have a vaguely pre-historic vibe.

HEY! Guess What!
My website is complete and up and running! AAAHHHHHH.
Through April 7, you can use coupon code APRILFOOLS to get 50% off. I am trying to make up for 6 months of lost revenue, thanks to Etsy.

A lot of dead leaves and sticks, with a few shoots of green and one red camoflaged skunk cabbage shoot. Spring has sprung.

Green things were sprouting on today's walk.

I see what you did there.

White woman standing in front of the Rocketship that Wallace and Grommit took to the moon! You can see Grommit through the window as he performs ready checks.

I hit up the Henry Ford Museum with my bestest friend this weekend and didn't realize that:
1) Greenfield Village is closed until mid-April
2) They had a Wallace and Grommit special! It was a setup like you'd find at a kids' science museum, rathan than a "making of" sort of thing. But I enjoyed it.

A tweet from username Internet Explorer. The tweet reads "Ther is a boat stuck in Egypt"

White woman with a floral dress, pink cheeks, dark maroon lips, with rainbow jewelry. Her eye makeup is great, but you can't see it well in this photo

Leaving the house today. Extra hairspray cuz it's going to be windy AF.
Unfortunately my setting spray went bad, so the makeup is going to be at the mercy of the rain. But that's ok.

A goodly, thick, mostly-straight heavy stick with delightful textures in an almost pink pale color. It is leaning against a very lean fallen branch, or possibly a whole baby tree. It has smooth shiny bark. This is along a walking trail through a small forest. The trees have not begun to get their spring leaves, and last year's leaves are still thickly strewn across the forest floor.

During a walk this week, I saw this goodly stick.
Almost forgot to share my luck with the rest of you!

A white woman taking a selfie. She's squinting behind her glasses at this accursed sunshine. It's Michigan. In winter. There's not ALLOWED to be sunshine. At least it's chilly enough that she's wearing a nice fleece jacket from her work. It has embroidery that reads Elite Mechanical Services. She is wearing a fuzzy purple and white hat. You can't see the pattern very well, but it sort of has cat-ear shapes at the top corners. It's rather cute. And very comfy. Behind her is a baby tree, a pavilion, and a stop sign. Because even the universe is done with her bullshit. "Just stop, bitch. Stop."

Hat.
(as always, my alt text is a lot funnier than my post)

Oh man. Random meet-cute WOULD be the worst of my week. lol. But Nah. Dropped yarn on a walk is pretty normal for me. Either that, or snagged in bushes.

bahahaha. ok. that's hilarious. Terrible, but hilarious.

A gravel-and-dirt path, with winter-browned grass on one side, and brush full of dry leaves on the other. Down the side of the path is a length of rope, probably fifteen feet long, ending in a ball of yarn on the far end.

In a Very Bagel Problem, my yarn ball fell out of my pocket during yesterday's #lunchcrochethike and I made a very long snake out of yarn. Follow me for more simple crochet patterns!

woahhhhh. That's gorgeous!

Well. Ya can't beat fresh bread! (I am diabetic and I miss fresh bread. A lot)
But toaster ovens are better than toasters anyway.

There is a cat, sleeping on a pillow, underneath of a blanket and a heated blanket. She's giving me *a look* by peeking out at my camera with a single eyeball. Her pink nose has freckles and I am pretty sure it's just her spiciness showing up on the outside. You can also see one of my fingers and a knitting needle sticking up from behind her, and the corner of my glasses as I look at the camera, because I don't understand perspective.

It's rude that the cat gets to do this, but I don't.

NO TOASTER? this is a bagel crime.

A cat. She is something called a torbie, maybe? a mix of calico and tabby. She is sleeping with one white paw stretched out, and her head resting on it like a pillow. She's tucked into my tapestry-style-floral blanket.

This is my kitten. In case you haven't seen her lately.

22 makeup brushes, all with neon colored handles and bristles. There's a set of 4 mini brushes in a small travel pouch. There are 4 face brushes and 8 eye brushes in a larger zippered pouch. There are 2 face brushes for powder application, one black-handled blending brush, and a set of 3 brushes for eyebrows. The brand is MODA.

This will surely cure my depression, right?

Hail to the king(s), baby!

A white woman, standing in front of a large window. She is wearing a purple coat with black trim. She's wearing rainbow gradient eyeglasses (from paireyewear.com). She has a dark pink lipstick on, and purple eyeshadow with some bold wings. Her red hair is short on both sides, and hairsprayed into a lovely swoosh in the middle. Just do it. She's waiting for her morning coffee to brew and hoping that nobody walks into the break room while she's taking a selfie. Nobody did, by the way.

I looked pretty at work today.

Thank you!

A knitted shawl, bunched up on circular needles, displayed around the remainder of the cake of yarn I'm working from. The knitted section is green, forming a gradient into purple. The rest of the cake gradients from purple, into a darker green, and then into a brighter green. The background is an image of yarn on a blank background, as shown on my laptop screen. BECAUSE I'M CREATIVE, OK???

ooooh. It is coming out SO pretty.

The inside of my doorframe. The wood and weather stripping is quite scratched up because my cat Trinity LOVES to use it as a scratching post. The steel storm door is also a disaster and is missing the top glass. In the spot where an extra long strike plate goes against the inner door frame, there is bare wood, with three miniature paper umbrellas sticking into it, because I needed to fill in the holes enough to drive fresh screws in. The umbrellas are yellow, green, and bright blue. They each have floral painted designs.

I had to replace my deadbolt today and my boss asked about it earlier, clearly expecting me to have A Story. As if my home projects EVER have drama.
I finally got it done, and at one point, my door looked like several tropical drinks. So I guess MAYBE he has a point.

Approximately 9 repeats, at 4 rows per repeat, of shawl. I am following a pattern named Grapevine, by Courtney M Cox. It is a knitted shawl, and I am using a gradient cake of yarn. THe color starts with a forest green, gradiating to a jeweled purple color, then proceeds to gradient darker, then to a brighter, emerald green. I am knitting it on number 7 ChiaGoo brand circular needles that are 40 inches long.

I was afraid I'd get bored of this shawl. It's a 4-row repeat, at 396 stitches per row. But it's working up faster than I thought it would. Plus, the yarn gradient progresses every 3 repetitions, so it keeps it interesting.

I'm just glad to know someone reads it, because I honestly put more effort into my alt texts than my posts!

Is everyone's mood "fuzzy brightness"? :D

A very pale white woman in a car. She's wearing a seatbelt because she's safety conscious (and because her car will scream at her if she doesn't). She's wearing a lavender coat and neutral dark-pink lipstick. She's got a full face of makeup on. And upon her head is a gloriously hot-pink, fuzzy hat that makes her blue eyes pop, and complements her rosy cheeks to perfection.

This new hat has solved all of my mental health issues, for at least the next week. #mentalhealth

a very close-up picture of a cat's eye. The pupil is narrowed to a thin oval shape. The iris is a gold-green color. Her eyeliner game is on point. Her fur is black-and-cream tabby over her eye, fades to orange around her eye, and then to white near her nose.

The Captain is watching. Always watching.
