Yums Advent Day 6: Milk Salted Brownie by The Belgian (Belgium). Soft chocolate that melts in your mouth. The best so far from this Advent.
Reused Advent Day 6: Smoked Plum Candy by Khong Guan (Taiwan). The smoky flavor reminds me of cigarettes 🤢 Though the plum does come through eventually.

Did the tree and three stars because I finished too fast 😄
The stars are wonky, but I plan to wet block them to fix it.

Yums Advent Day 5: Yupi Jelicious Strawberry (Indonesia). Soft Strawberry jellies.
Reused Advent Day 5: Passion Fruit Lakrids by Bülow (Denmark). White chocolate Passion fruit covered licorice. It's weird.
I forgot to take a photo before eating the Yupi, so it's just a picture of the wrapper ☺️

2000+ chains turn into a Christmas wreath 😊
Other than the massive amounts of chains, it was pretty easy to put together. Might have to make another one for Halloween next year 🙂

The Muppet Christmas Carol with the Seattle Symphony playing the music is tonight!
I've seen several movies with the symphony playing the music, but none of them were Muppet movies.
Basically they have a giant movie screen above and the symphony themselves are in the dark playing the music.

2400 chains of green & red strands of yarn.
That's definitely the longest chain I've ever done, and it took me two nights to do it.
What's it for?
You'll see soon enough 😉

My Kraken gravy boat box was sitting on my desk and I realized they offered suggestions on how to use it via the side panel.

The picture on the door of the Universal Yums Advent is a hint at what you get as I got Greek pomegranate candy.
Remind me to throw away Day 8's candy as it's coffee beans for that door 🤢
The reused Advent box is Lindt Peppermint truffle. I allow myself to buy one bag per year as they're fatty.

It's December 1st, so we open Day 1 on my Advent Calendars.
Yes, two of them.
One that used to be a See's Candies advent, but I refilled the drawers with candy I had lying around or stuff I found recently.
The other calender is new from Universal Yums.
There might be overlap, but we'll see.

First bloom of the season for Stalk 😀
Stalk is a Thanksgiving cactus and a bit early, but all 20 of the ends are budding. It will be fully in bloom by next Thursday, which is Thanksgiving.

Trying to use up little bits of yarn that isn't big enough to make amigurumi, so I made a string of Christmas lights with it.
The pattern is from This Wild Sunflower via Etsy 🙂

Just realized the last month I posted of my Temperature Scarf was June. Oops!
Here are July, August, September, and October.
The red yarn is the break between the months.
