Honestly? Their stretch factor is RIDONKULOUS ๐
If youโre straddling sizes & can buy a few pairs, get 1 of each size to start.
From the amt of stretch, I would size down UNLESS you have a serious hatred for the feeling of sausage-tight restriction (not that it rly would be SO tight); size up โค๏ธ
I have snag tights, love them lots โ they have awesome sizes.

A freshly baked tray of Irish barmbrack in different sizes (cupcakes/muffins) cooling on a rack. This Barmbrack recipe contains golden raisins, Thompsons raisins, dried cranberries, dried figs, dried dates & dried apricots which have all been previously soaked in a mixture of very strong black tea plus a nip of Alberta Premium Whiskey ๐ฅ
Lovelies! Look! Look! Look!
We have Barmbrack cupcakes! ๐
Time wise for baking:
regular cupcakes ~20mins
large/minicake ~30mins.
Have to admit: a big proper loaf of barmbrack is way prettier, but these little guys also make it easier for a grab & go snack ๐
#comfieyums
Also: I think that this year Iโm also gonna try baking the barmbrack in smaller sized portions, too, just so I can freeze them; maybe like muffin & one cup sized loaves? ๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ

Methinks itโs time to soak fruits for making barmbrackโฆ
What do you think Lovelies? Start the fruit-soaking so we can have barmbrack this weekend now that the weather has turned cold, wet and rainy-snowy? ๐ค

A round, woven, bamboo tray holding the spoils of a garden harvest. Clockwise from the top: a handful of small Hakurei/Tokyo cross turnips with their greens, 4 medium & 1 large Spanish Black Round radishes, 3 small (still slightly underripe) garden strawberries.
Welpโฆ we got a few Spanish black radishes harvested this year, and a very small harvest of the Hakurei/Tokyo Cross turnips!
Surprisingly, we are still getting strawberries to pick this late in the season which is a wonderful treat! ๐

On the right side of the photo is someoneโs hand holding a pear to give the viewer an approximate idea of the size of some of the larger fruit. The colour of most of the pears are yellow-green and show they are a lovely reddish-brown on the side that was most often facing the sun while growing on the tree.
EEEEEK Look! Look! Look!!! Our first EVER pear harvest!!! ๐๐
The tree was originally planted in 2019 and this is the first year weโve had fruit!
Iโm so excited to see how they taste, but it will take a few days for them to ripen. Right now theyโre rock hard straight off the tree ๐

Happy 23rd Anniversary to My SuperHero in Disguise,
Thank you for our years of: snuggles, laughing til we canโt breathe, future dreaming, finding new kittens, neverending BG3, & so many times I canโt remember to mention.
I hope we have many more years of life-times to come.
Love You Always,

A white sign with a red maple leaf with the words ForeVer Canadian below. Within the centre of the maple leaf is a symbolic white flame, the stem of the leaf is represented by a large letter V (from the word โforeverโ) underneath the flame to represent a torch. There are also three small little symbols at the bottom of the sign stating the 3 requirements to sign the petition (left to right): Canadian citizen, age 18+, a resident of Alberta.
I truly hope that signatures acquired during this petition clearly demonstrates to this current provincial government that an overwhelming majority of its citizens value being Canadian and a part of Canada.

Beside the pan is a small white cake stand with a small round Japanese lacquer serving tray with tomatoes and mangoes inside. Just in front of the cat (on left side of photo) is a large square storage container with a red lid. At the bottom of the frame is a blurry outline of a tablet.
Could someone please explain to me why Aster has decided EVERYTHING is lickable atm? ๐
