Brooch Warfare, Story Time, and the occasional designer overview and so forth. Writer, knitter, trying-to-be artist. I run on art supplies and yarn.

#CRPS late stage. I had a support group I'd love to replicate.

Do no harm, take no shit.

Okay, shoot, we'll make this an official thread. #FashionWatch #PSA Our manners and running jokes around here, if we lose you somewhere.

This is going to take a bit, to dig up these images.

If I find it, I will try to do a recap of the Great Lesbian Space War (remember, the blues and the reds?)
Popped on my phone, Queen Margrethe. Haha. I still want that aigrette.

Pro tip: if cold makes your hands hurt, wear a pot holder to hold the ice cream carton.

You’re welcome.

So after I woke up with my laptop on my lap, and chatted with y’all for a while, I turned to my writing…

…and woke up at 5:20am with a computer on my lap.

The original recipe works best with 15.75 oz box mix - one brand has shrunk theirs so it’s smaller. Those cookies will take about 15 min to cook since they’ll be wet. But either way this works with any flavor combo you like - I made lemon w/ choc chips, orange w/ vanilla for creamsicle cookies :)

We’ve faced that we’re not going to get a traditional bakening accomplished. We’re still going to give out dulce du leche and because Kid and I both associate holiday with baking, we’re doing a bread hub likes, maybe dinner rolls, crumb cake, and so forth.

I hear pumpkin pie calling my name.

I hear you. My favorite cookies are from smitten kitchen. It’s mostly done in a food processor. smittenkitchen.com/2016/05/conf...

Although, I tend to make them with ball/round sprinkles not the Jimmy sprinkles. But either works.
confetti cookies
These really easy sprinkle cookies are plush, complex, fragrant, and also, you know, really cute decked out in holiday sprinkles. You’re going to love them.

I got lined-back paper from Aldi this week, if you have Aldi where you are. Weirdly, I've also found it at Dollar Tree.

Right, just woke up with a computer on my lap, so probably tomorrow for the pearl thread? LOL

I've hit this wall, where if I take enough painkillers to function, I fall asleep instead. Damn bodies.

All rightie. I mentioned moving some threads from the bird site over to here, and this is the first.

I was talking about the theory that Queen Mary bought up a bunch of Russian jewelry and locked it up for later. #JewelWatch #RoyalWatch

We still have this one, the Russian Nuptial Tiara:

Just realized. George Lucas stole "Once upon a time". Say that now and in the West how many of us finish it with "in a galaxy far, far away"?

Made snickerdoodles today, & using a tip from @juliethecranky.bsky.social we mixed the cinnamon into the dough & rolled them in colored sugars. I always have a jar of Frankenstein sugar that is the leftovers & runoff from decorating cutouts, so it has chocolate jimmies & other stuff mixed in. A++😁
