This girl used to come up to us after we’d been gone for a bit and make a huge show of turning her back toward us and really sitting with that. We adored her. And yes, she had feelings and opinions and ideas. When I was recovering from sinus surgery, she didn’t leave my side. @bsletten.bsky.social

A section of knitted fabric in a lavender color has a small ruler laying across it, measuring the number of stitches per inch of fabric. This is known as a swatch.

Hey soul sister, I tip my hat to you on putting that potato in there. I baked two for us @bsletten.bsky.social tonight. 😁

We had 12 kiddos. Not the highest, not the lowest. My parents' neighbor had a gorgeous, live deer in their yard trick-or-treating on the shrubbery.
An exquisite deer near some shrubs and a short fence.

Posted without comment except to thank @xkcd.com for an all-time great.

A classic XKCD comic with a figure furiously typing on a keyboard in front of a computer. The exchange: “Are you coming to bed?” - “I can’t. This is important.” - “What?” - “Someone is wrong [which is underlined] on the internet.”

Reskeet with a Tweet you still think about.
An action shot photo of Pope Francis and a fellow behind him. The Pope is making a gesture with his arms that looks like he is about to rap and the fellow behind him is covering his mouth in such a way that he looks like he is beatboxing.

I am so sorry for your Dad!

I once ordered a beautiful quilting book for my Mom for Christmas. This is what arrived:

So yeah. #Cooking I do that. Homemade fileja (maccarruna).
A bowl covered with a linen tea towel, yellow-colored homemade semolina pasta in the fileja/maccarruna shape with glorious green Genovese basil in the background.

I could never pick. I’m #cheeselifestyle.
An old fashioned style advertisement with the words, “Introducing… The Cheese Lifestyle - A World of Fine Cheeses”. A very dated-looking image of people at a wine and cheese party is in the lower right.

BTW Randazzo sucks. And he was squeezing us.

Those are my final words on the matter.

Happy Esther to all who observe.
A photo of the great LaWanda Page playing Aunt Esther on Sanford and Son. At the bottom of the photo are the words "Happy Esther!!!" Ms. Page is wearing a purple flowered dress and a light blue cardigan and she has the best side-eye look.

You’re awesome! Also, don’t feel like you can’t wear a mask. It could protect “la voce”. Thayers are incredible if you can find some. I had bronchitis and still sang the solos in a Bach cantata thanks to them. (And a hot toddy. ☺️)
Thayers slippery elm throat lozenges. An old fashioned but highly effective throat lozenge without a lot of weird, drying stuff in it.

And Freyja is a reincarnated Hungarian princess. She loves men. She thinks @bsletten.bsky.social is her husband and that I am the cook.

Fun fact: Loki isn’t just handsome and an excellent big brother, he’s also a Master Sommelier.

You might have seen these two before *cough @bsletten.bsky.social cough*. Freyja is on the left, Loki on the right.

Gorgeous. Gorgeous color.

Do you mind my asking if you use the pattern’s CO or if you use a different one? I tried and tried the one called for and ended up doing a different one. (Please ignore my lifeline. 😂 And inevitable mistakes.)

I started this piece in 2019 and wove the ends in a week ago today. 😂 Ladies and gentlemen, my chunky knit scarf:

I recently finished a knit doll for the newest baby in the family. I took my color inspiration from a quilt my Mother made for the same baby.

I needed to whip stitch parts of the doll and your video "Sewing a Seam...: How to Work Horizontal Mattress Stitch and Whip Stitch" helped immeasurably. TY
Knit doll with a green-and-orange striped body and stocking cap. Speckled cream yarn was used for the head and hands. Handmade quilt made with jelly roll strips in various shades of orange, yellow, green, grey, and black.
