Well, our dig director, a very, very tall bearded guy (6' 6"), was initially dubious about so many women on the crew; could we actually do the work? (hint; the guys were the slackers. We could do everything they could do, it might just take us two loads of dirt in a wheelbarrow rather than one. I was very buff by the…

I got the t-shirt I’d been waiting to go on sale :)

I FINALLY finished this hoop inspired by Henry Darger I’ve been working on forever.

Still love that “shark” so much... if it’s in your shop come payday, I just might snatch it up.

Food is my crafting medium. This is my future astrophysicist’s nebula birthday cake.

This girl is coming home!!!! The insurance company approved home care for her, we’ve already met with a representative from the company that will supply her care, and it should be two more weeks until we’re out of the hospital. All the staff needs to go meet her first and learn her current schedule and preferences,…

My middle school algebra crew is pretty witty. Here are two of their gems from this week:

For my birthday my husband got me a hobby box that every month sends you stuff to try out new hobbies and a few instructions. This month’s was watercolor. I do acrylic painting but never really tried watercolor outside of grade school. There were my first two attempts.

Kidlet got a work study job at the library! He’s absolutely loving it, although thanks to work study paying $13/hr(?!?) he’s limited to something like 7 hours a week, so he’s keeping his job at BK on the weekends as well. School started on Wed and he has his first legal classes this Tues, so we’ll see how he likes…

Made a couple of malas. Haven’t tied the tassels yet. My current mood is obviously black and skully.

Working on my daughter’s Halloween costume this week. She’s dead set on troll. Still have some more work on the headpiece and the dress, but I’m almost done!

I made a couple of witch’s ladders. Still no job. Oh well. Turns out I’ve been using Instagram wrong for the last year or so. My sister just explained hashtags to me. I feel like I’m 90...lol.

So, someone had asked me whether the blanket I posted last week was all crochet. All folded up in the picture, the body part is a little difficult to parse. My friend was kind enough to get a pic of it unfurled (censored as per her request) so the details are a little clearer.

Catalina should be coming home sometime in the next month. She’s officially not receiving any care other than her CPAP and encouraging oral feedings, so the doctor said she can get home care for a couple months. We’re now arranging things with the insurance company.

Anybody make any cool purchases this week? I bought this for my yard and I’m living my best life.

A more fitting punishment is to tell them they are getting 5 years probation and then jail them for a year. That would be a great reaction vid.

Vomiting but when you’ve vomited up all that’s left so your in heaving pain and all that’s coming up is some bile and mucus and you wanna die. And you know your body will just do it again in twenty minutes.

No. This is not sane. This is an unhinged fuckweasel. You didn’t just dodge a bullet—you dodged a fucking misogynist IED.

I just have to share with someone that last night I went to a burlesque show (my third), and it was David Lynch-themed, and it was amazing.
