Cozy and crocheting. Lots of nature, cooking, coffee, cats, cute art + a few crafts and muses about getting older.
I have not posted much lately but I’m ok! Just busy and have not been on bluesky much

I took a little bag of frozen breaded shrimp,
2 mini cucumbers
Some avocado
Some cream cheese
And a Veetee sticky rice (made in the UK, so I need to stock up like 4-5 more of them lol 🥲
And I made a little “shrimp
Bowl” with that
Supposed to have wasabi seaweed squares but the store forgot :(

Dinner! I overcooked the round tenderloin steaks a bit. 19 mins in oven :( Next time I’ll stick with 15 mins. Originally pan seared.

Started a shawl using a fingering yarn and I am so happy with the progress! The stitches are simple but I’ve held onto this yarn for 4 years until I made sure I felt confident enough to make my mother something pretty. It was a battle taking the skein from skein to ball, took 2 hours 🥲 #crochet

First sock ever complete! However the foot part is too wide and long bc my hook was too big. I like the simple pattern. The ankle part fits a little snug and the ribbing (I added, modified pattern) is stretchy and was good practice. Me and my chunky calves need more stitches above heel. #crochet

Carrot-ginger-coconut soup on the stove for this rainy day
After this pic I added a little garlic, 2 tbs squeeze ginger, 2 tbs thai red curry paste, a 13.5 oz can of coconut milk and 2.5 cups of chicken broth
I’m now getting cozy to crochet while it cooks

Watching cricket happening on Sunday in Australia while sitting on my couch in the US on Saturday night is just so neat

Also I love seeing the “Wickets and Wings” advertisements and realizing it’s KFC chicken 🐓

The start of a chunky scarf for my dad so he stays warm! #crochet

Went shopping in my own closet! Free yarn, hehehe!

Found a kitchenaid artisan on the curb this morning. I am about to enter my “dismantle and troubleshoot a free mixer” era
I already have a drop stand one but would love to fix this one and give it away

On a completely unrelated topic to my usual cats and crochet,
I hope Mike Tyson wipes the floor with Mr. Paul. Go Mike!

Currently under two blankets with the window cracked on this cool morning and it has absolutely inspired me to have coffee outside before I start in on tidying the kitchen and house.
