Crustal Dawn

Time to go to the alternate universe of my imagination and live a completely different life for a few hours so I can fall asleep.

Date with myself as a person with kids. Everyone is asleep, glass of wine, Pepperidge farm chocolate collection cookies, and We Live in Time. #datenight #treatyourself #haveagoodcry

That magical time when a blanket wip becomes a scarf. #crochet #crochetfail

Help I’ve just purchased beginner supplies for a new craft that I’ll likely abandon.

Read books Ban Fascists.

Not to brag or anything but my 5 year old just told me she loves me more than there are rolls of toilet paper at the store. #parenting #momlife

I could deal with the foundation chain of 350 but it went too far when the next row is all in the back bump of that long ass chain. #crochet #crochetproblems

if you made art this year, you did well. a sketch, even if it was scrapped ; a poem, even if it was deleted — mattered. you put thought to paper, you engaged with the creative alchemy of turning feeling to something tangible. doesn't matter if you weren't productive "enough." or good "enough."

Donald Trump tapped drug user Matt Gaetz, who was found by the House Ethics Committee to have had sex with a 17-year-old girl, as America's Attorney General. The country's top cop! If you're not outraged by such blatant hypocrisy, you're not paying attention.

A few times a week I just stop and think, “I hope Tom Waits is doing alright.” It makes me feel like a weirdo as we’re not friends or anything, I just love the guy.

The week before winter break with your first school aged child when you’re not a big Christmas person is a real wild ride.

Of course I’d only now start having problems with magic rings coming loose while trying to finish holiday gifts.

I’m a gun owner, and I respect the rights of responsible gun owners. That said, the second amendment will continue to be watered with the blood of children until the laws change.

It’s been a long wait. I’m equally excited to start and nervous this book has been over hyped.

The husky mix we adopted is more like a cat than our actual cat.

I wasn’t warned how often a 5 year old will wake you up at 3am by poking you in the eye then explaining the 472 things they want, none of which are to go back to sleep.

The hooded scarves I kept seeing got me, now I’m hyper fixated.

Putting down my crochet blanket project for a smaller and faster pattern isn’t boredom or avoidance, just a little side quest.

Finding someone’s Reddit is a really fast way to find out everything you didn’t want to know about them.

In search of a book that’s Fox Mulder coded. 🌶️📚

I’m on his side. If I were being pestered that much I’d never put it out just to prove a point and not reward crazy behavior.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but you don't need to justify your reading preferences and choices to anyone. Audiobooks count as reading. Also, you don't have to finish books you don't enjoy. Don't read to impress, read for yourself. Life's too short, love yourself, ok?

I’ve really set the scene for my perfect Friday night…The wood stove burning, fluffy blanket, snack plate, glass of wine, and reading till my eyes get heavy.
