I opened my bag of Upton Tea's ginger, carrot, beetroot herbal blend. It's a bit sweeter than I expected (not shocking once you actually think about the ingredients) but nicely balanced. I'll happily drink more. #tea

I know my duty: I provided horizontal(ish) human time for Tatum, while Her Human is away. She was Very Pleased. I got ALL the purrs. And then I was a monster and evicted her (after 1.5 hrs). #cats

Started the day with brownie waffles. Slightly putsy recipe but really tasty. domesticfits.com/brownie-waff... #food

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

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

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

A "cranky for little reason" day, so pulled out a Voidmerch shirt.

While the rows are already fairly long (there's another wing besides what'sin the shot), I'm making steady progress on We Shawl Not Pass. 🧶

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

Momma hopes you can all get the rest you need. Though she's slow blinking at me more than really sleeping. #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.

Closing in on the end of my current #cross-stitch project, started this past Saturday. Awesome design by Satsuma Street that's a ton of fun to stitch. #crossstitch

#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 vegan Red Lobster-style biscuits and ohhhh yes, definitely going into semi regular rotation. I used Vialife cheddar shreds. makeitdairyfree.com/vegan-chedda... #food

Yellow squash with grape tomatoes and an egg, sauteed with za'atar and smoked sea salt. Simple lunch that got the yellow squash out of the fridge.

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
