First go at a dog sweater. #Crochet 🧶
An extra small dog sweater sits folded in half showing the full length of thr sweater in my lap. The yarn used was I love this yarn from Hobby Lobby using a 5.5mm crochet hook. The color way is pink, teal, and purple: the colors stripe through out the sweater.

🧵 I enjoy cozy & nostalgic games, looking for suggestions.

Currently play ACNH🍃, Pokémon snap📷, Metroid👾, Crash Bandicoot 🥭, big city little kitty 🐈‍⬛️, & untitled goose 🪿

just ordered Rollercoaster Tycoon 🎢 classic.

I have a Switch, want a Steam Deck, & prefer handheld games.

I'm enjoying watching steam mop reviews on YouTube way too much...

The scrappy leftover cake yarn blanket continues. I'm doing a little free form stitching and having fun.
The lion brand mandala cake yarn blanket continues. This was leftover yarn so the skein wrapper is gone to provide more information on it. Free form stitching is all over the place creating swaths and bands of solid color. Colors of bright yellow, gold, blue, orange, burnt orange, pink, and charcoal paint the panel. Using a blue 5mm crochet hook, working half double stitches (US terms).

No migraine today.

Took an everything shower.

Enjoyed the excitement my youngest had putting on a pair of sunglasses.

Picked up another WIP, so working on two at once. Lol, I still need to post the last finished project. Anyway, here's this one.
A blue 5mm crochet hook sits inserted in a panel that will become a blanket. The yarn used has since lost the skein wrapper but is a cake of Lion Brand Mandala yarn. This colorway fades in red, orange, yellow, brown, green, and blue; when worked this creates stripes of color. Worked in half double crochet (US terms).

(This is the best I've felt in a long time.)

#ThreeGoodThings

I've taken immense pride in cleaning & organizing the house.

Crocheting is an utter joy.

I have a book so good I want to stay up reading it (and will go to bed anyway, anticipating something good for tomorrow).

This is my favorite #crochet tool: and ends weaver. I bought this a few years ago from TheHookNook and it keeps me from pulling my hair out. I just weaved the ends of 10 hexagons in about 5 minutes.
Image of my left hand holding an ends weaver that I use when crocheting. This tool has a pearl white handle like a screwdriver. The end of the tool has a hook with a closing clasp to grasp the yarn being weaved in. My Lisa Frank-esk rainbow leopard leggings are in the background.

I'm embracing being old. I'm excited about asking for a steam mop for x-mas.

The local New Orleans group who recycle fabrics and fiber, and teach sewing classes, RickRack, had a message on Instagram today I thought I'd pass along here, too....
A human is holding a white bard with the following message written on it: "There are no Tariffs on thrift store clothing, and if One Million of us bought our next piece of clothing from a thrift store we'd keep millions of pounds of textiles out of landfills, slash our carbon footprints, and funnel millions of dollars back into local jobs and nonprofits!" (or second hand, or vintage, or whatever!

Meg, 34, lives in a small brick home so far up a country holler they have to pipe in sunshine. A printer instruction manual written in ten languages — a book she will never open — sits on her coffee table for all eternity. She drives around with her radio blasting, like an Outkast song come to life.

Started using the #Nerivio for #migraine prevention/treatment. So far, easy to use and hopeful it helps overall.

Had the chance to spend the day with my best friend.

Caught how negative self-talk impacted my day and did the repair work.

Did my nails and had time to get the dishes done.

Second attempt was better. Different yarn and hook I think helped. I need to finish the WIP that's almost done but this is so satisfying! 🧶🤩 #Crochet #AltText
Another solid crochet hexagon resting in my left hand. This one is a bit larger than my palm. Yarn used was Red Heart in White. Hook was 5.5mm and 5 rounds were worked on the hex. The ends are not weaved in and trail to the right side of the frame. Making these feels like magic.
