My amaryllis was popping off and then the wind knocked it over and snapped it in half so now the top is going in my shower window to see how long it keeps. 😤 #impermanence
Me standing in my shower stall holding a cutting of an amaryllis flower. It looked way prettier on the plant. The second amaryllis bloom took a little more of a beating in the wind but it's still pretty.

Time passes, life changes, but the Arin and Dan I drew on the white board at Ice Bites 2 years ago perseveres.

The Hollyhock seeds that waited 2 years to germinate have been well worth the wait.
A close up photo of 3 pink Hollyhock flowers in bloom. A photo of 3 pink Hollyhock flowers from a slightly farther distance. A photo of the Hollyhock plant that decided it to grow in the bin with my tomato plant. It has 3 pink flowers blooming up the middle.

I read the Murderbot Diaries book 1 before bed last night and I love this disgruntled Murderbot.
A photo of my hand holding book one of The Murderbot Diaries: All Systems Red in front of my bookshelf. Please let the rest of the series be good and also released on paperback at some point img why are these books like this?

I gague the success of my garden by how often Munchkin begs to go do her chinchilla rolls in the dirt.

Tearing up the 3 year old, untouched yarn stash for granny squares.

I finally decided to look into why Aqua Knight felt like it ended so abruptly. 🙃 Yukito Kishiro I just want to talk.
A screen grab of text from an article about Aqua Knight. The text reads, "After publishing three volumes, Kishiro placed the series on hiatus to draw Last Order. He has promised to continue Aqua Knight when that is finished."

I love used book stores! Got 21 Ah! My Goddess! Graphic novels for $50 from Joybird in Orlando. There aren't many series I would buy an entire collection of, but Kosuke Fujishima's art releases the serotonin. He did art for Tales of Phantasia, which ALSO releases the serotonin.

This crochet cat is haunting my feed, because everytime I try to investigate to make sure it's real and not generated I see people begging for the pattern with no response. There are similar designs. I'm probably just going to sit down this weekend and figure out a pattern for myself and post it.

It begins again
A photo of the first completed section of a Mosiac Crochet framed with yarn skeins and supplies. The pattern is of lady bugs, but I think they also look like weird eyes.

The oregano my mom gave me is one of the few plants that hasn't been bothered by the cold weather.
A hanging basket of Oregano. It has been outside in 50, 40, and 30 degree weather, and it isn't bothered at all.

I finished my first ever attempt at amigurumi crochet a few weeks ago. It's a hot mess but I gained a lot of respect for people who can do it well. Also, I learned I need to replace my hooks because the yarn kept catching.

My first attempt at amigurumi crochet jolteon. In it's mind it can think only of death. Amigurumi Jolteon sitting on a stack of crochet books. It wonders how someone with so much experience crocheting could create such a monstrosity. Amigurumi Jolteon close up is very cute but being hend together with thoughts and prayers.
