In a sentence never before uttered by humans, I am delighted to share that an alligator stole my conservation instructor’s hat by jauntily walking into the water while wearing it 🐊
I ended up finishing off 6 skeins of yarn to make 10 extra large beanies! What a success!! 🧶
My work is doing a clothing drive that is specifically calling for warm hats which is the PERFECT opportunity for me to try to use up as much scrap yarn as I can to crochet beautiful beanies 👀

'Humpty' ~ Wooden spoon carved in Basswood with broken eggshells and pigment. Base was Bald Cypress... (maybe).
Same joke as last time..
Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall
Followed by a brutal winter

Happy Halloween!! I have dressed up as a Spotted Lanternfly for work today—what’s spookier than an invasive species threatening your native biome??

Saw an incredibly steep jump in price at the grocery store this week—wondering if tariff decisions are hitting the shelves?
A normally $5 container of pumpkin spice was $20. $3 gochujang was $11. $3 Greek yogurt was $8.
The >40m people who rely on SNAP benefits to eat are on my mind today.

Had the joy of trying rambutan for the first time (delicious!!) and then I made some vegan salted quick fudge to celebrate. 🍫

Spent today fighting for my life making Claire Saffitz’s pull apart sour cream and chive rolls.
Did the dough ever come together when kneading? No.
Did the first rise work out? No.
The second? No.
Was I able to use fresh chives? No.
Despite everything working against me, these were DELICIOUS!! 🍞

I passed by a woman walking what I thought were dogs, but upon closer inspection they were two small, chipper goats. I love this for her.

'Loopy' ~ Wooden spoon carved in Sapele wood with Holly overlay. Loopy not only describes the spoon.. but also the maker after he realized he could have much more easily carved the Holly BEFORE laminating.

I love celebrating spooky season by completing a stitch each October and this year I enjoyed a cute cat and pumpkin cross stitch from CrystalFeatherCrafts on Etsy 🧵🪡

I don't normally do this, but I've been burning the candle at both ends.
Other half had a major op earlier this year and now I'm in hospital for an investigation.
Regardless of what's wrong, I need rest, but I've had little work this year.
I'd appreciate if anyone is able to help out.

This month I’m tackling spooky movies on my to-watch list and started with Suspiria (1977).
What a technicolor fever dream. I’m not sure I liked it?? But I also didn’t not like it??

Autumn makes the baking gremlins in my brain gain strength, so I’m going to bake my way through one of Mary Berry’s books to see if I want to keep or declutter it 🍰

Experimenting with this week’s loaf of bread by adding in some gochujang and dried roasted garlic 👀
I added in extra yeast to combat the garlic’s inhibitive properties, so fingers crossed it will work!
