Stopped at Carhenge on the way back from a work trip. The art festival they hosted this summer has GREATLY improved the installation. #Nebraska #artwork #graffiti
Cars stack atop one another and painted to look like an animal with fangs Carhenge - cars, mostly on their noses, arranged to look like Stonehenge. Most are grey while others have artwork vibrant artwork on a car on its nose. The style looks like neon lights and features a cactus and cartoon characters Cars stacked together and painted with artwork in pink, blue, and white

The Northern lights were pretty great - some of the best I've seen with naked eyes, despite having grown up further north. Phone pics came out better than my camera (never been great at low light). #NorthernLights #photography
Northern lights mostly red with a green hook Northern lights with green closer to the horizon and red with streaks

Tried the sweet and sour tofu recipe from Vegan Comfort Cooking. It was decent, but not going on my make-again list. #food #vegan

Gnumpkin the gnome is enjoying the cool, breezy autumn weather. He was the most recent gnome mystery knit-along.

Despite giving my nails a decent amount of time to set, this happened. Guess I'm stripping off all the polish I just did. (No, I have no interest in gel, fake nails, etc)

Before it got too warm, I took my camera out to one of my favorite segments of the hike bike trail. There are several bridges over the Platte River. Decent bird-spotting day, including a Great Blue Heron and a bald eagle, and awesome insect-spotting day. #photography #nature #Nebraska

SOMEONE was extra spicy today. The best I can say is all fur is still attached (to her sister) and all blood is inside the same entity that produced it. #cats

I think this #knitting project is going to get frogged. Not loving how the yarn is working up. I'll either pair it with a solid or use it for socks. 🧶

I started a new chainmaille project yesterday. Rainbow hexmaille bracelet. The weave is easy(ish) but the rings are teeny - the large ones are 3/32". #chainmaille #jewelry

Finished this stocking last night. I love Anne Hanson's stocking designs. This one is Oslo. Lots of fun to knit and fast compared to my usual knits.

Finished my latest cross-stitch project! I'm fairly happy with how it turned out. And it's sparkly.

#blooms from one of my fancee African violets. We're not snobs here - I have mix of fancy ones and random non-plant-store ones. A bad batch of soil (molded quickly and completely once moistened) took out everything I repotted and/or divided, so grateful for what remains. #flowers

Presenting Dr. M. Morel, a companion for, and made with leftovers from, my Professor Fungi.

Very quick knit, as it is substantially smaller than Professor Fungi. I'll try to get a family pic when I finish Frederik Fungi.

Made a variation on one of my favorite cocktails, a Goldrush. 2 oz Four Roses bourbon, 1 oz lavender-infused honey syrup, .75 oz lemon juice. VERY good though I did overclock the lavender a bit. #cocktail #recipe

Finished another cross-stitch, a kit my mom wanted me to make for my sister. Chart was TERRIBLE (no grid lines or separation between boxes, only color not symbol etc). At least it was small! And cat. #embroidery #cross-stitch🧵
