Just here to make friends and have fun! Oh, and to stare into the void.

Mostly my garden and project journal, tbh.
Definitely need another project to keep from doomscrolling so I am going to attempt this dog sweater!

I’m not very good at crochet (I forget what I’m doing all the time) but the dog isn‘t all that particular and it’s soothing to know I can just unravel any mistakes.

I saw Margaret Atwood with on Saturday and I wanted to write down some of the brilliant things that she said.

First of all, there was a slide of her holding a coffee cup that said “I told you so.”

Ehhh… I think this is the end for the tomatoes.

The gales of November came early.

Eariy snow, sniffly kid, and a Friendsgiving coming up, so I got out my trusty cookie press and made some extremely derpy #Thanksgiving cookies.

Sometimes you gotta put on your gnome apron, load it with tools, and disconnect the rain barrels and reconnect the downspout.

My beloved friend brought me THE BEST @harebrained.bsky.social sticker. I put it on my ofrenda

8 months ago I planted the seeds for these marigolds specifically so I could put them on the ofrenda today and tomorrow. I’m surprisingly emotional about it.

I cannot believe I’ve seen the whole journey from pumpkin seed to jack-o’-lantern! 🎃

We carved these three out of 12, and I think they would probably be good eating pumpkins too. Nice firm, evenly colored flesh and lots of seeds.

Happy Halloween!

Watching Welcome to Derry and I’m all like “Really? It’s been one year since this kid’s disappearance and the small town Maine librarians have ALREADY transferred the newspaper to microfiche? UNLIKELY!”

I mean, I guess there’s also a clown-spider, but srsly.

Definitely scrolling too much so another project: a kids sweater with a raccoon. 🦝

First thing is to make my #Crosstitch pattern. I do look at premade ones for reference, but the size is never right so I usually make my own. The yellow will be white on the finished raccoon.

Skull-shaped chocolate Bundt cake cooling on a rack. I added some cinnamon and cayenne so the kitchen smells delightful.

Chocolate glaze to come later.

Starting setting up the ofrenda yesterday (waiting with the photos and offerings) and I’m so so pleased with the cloth!

Most of the figures are collected over the years from the National Museum of Mexican Art in Pilsen or San Antonio.

I got the Old Spice Pumpkin spice deodrant because I thought it would be nice to smell like cloves and cinnamon.

It smells a lot more like candy corn.

My mom called someone’s Grim Reaper decoration “a skeleton in a hoodie” and, look, she’s not wrong. 💀

The seed packet said these sulfur cosmos were supposed to be 3 feet max.

Well, they’re well over 6’ and the second wave of blooms is feeding the neighborhood insects and birds.

My mother somehow grew a perfect pumpkin in her front yard without planting a seed, preparing, or monitoring it in any way!

I think it would be interesting if @randomhorror9.bsky.social did Kiss of the Spider Woman so we could hear @cecilbaldwiniii.bsky.social describing a movie about someone describing a movie.

Admittedly, neither film nor film within a film is really a horror movie.

My ofrenda cloth is done and it’s GORGEOUS (and hard to photograph). I am thrilled.
