I feel like they can be read however, though a chronological list would be nice.
I have loose notes of when each one takes place, but that’s half from tidbits of info you’ve given, and half guesswork.

Not as done as I thought.
Even with frost on the ground the past few mornings, the blanket flowers new buds have bloomed.

So rude 😢

An audiobook would be amazing. Who do we have to bribe, lol?

I remember the first time I tried Daiya cheese, like 15ish years ago? The most disappointing pizza with the most unmelted shredded “cheese” 🤣

Yeah, I’ve yet to find any cheese alternative that is as yummy as cheese.
The last block of Parmesan I bought cost nearly an arm & a leg 😢

It’s to the point where nutritional yeast is not just easier on my body, but on my wallet.

People were making such a big fuss about it (I am team “you can’t reschedule Halloween” 👻), and while the power flickered a bit late morning, the rain was gone by early afternoon and it was actually very lovely weather for trick or treating.

Ginger everything is my fav, so I’ll probably have to give these a go. 😋

*never sew again

My sewing machine decided to throw a tantrum at the 11th hour. Bobbin ran out, stitches wouldn’t stay in, second bobbin ran out (and it would have been plenty if the stitches didn’t need to be sewn literally 5x on one cuff)— but it’s finally done.

Bias tape acquired, and cuffs complete!
October 10, 2025 at 7:38 PM
Cuffs assembled and ready for bias tape. Shouldn’t take too long once I get the bias tape.
October 9, 2025 at 9:41 PM
Got the edges all hemmed in, trim on… just the cuffs left to do, but as I suspected, I ran out of the bias tape I need, which I’ll have to pick up tomorrow

I figured out the collar on the first try. Time to quit for the night, before I mess something up 😅 … I’m thrilled with the progress I made today though.

Outershell sewn!

Top diamonds aren’t lining up bilaterally, but that’s just not my problem 🤷‍♀️
October 8, 2025 at 6:51 PM
I was trying to find the other half… and well, I guess that scrap I grabbed to make the collar out of was not a scrap 😅

Thankfully, I have lots of pink material left. Phew.
October 8, 2025 at 6:02 PM
One side done! (I realized too late I sewed one on slightly askew, oh well)

Today we tackle the diamonds.

I ended up finding new blue material— I was worried I didn’t have enough of the old stuff. It’s very slippy.

I don’t have hem tape (nor have I ever used it), sewing clips won’t work, pins will leave holes… so I’m using painter’s tape… and it’s working out well.
