Now I’ve upgraded to 2 dogs glamping on the deck.

This dog is all about glamping. She loves being outside with a couch, a blanket, 2 pillows, and a fan.

This hawk has been sitting on my deck for hours hunting and eating the mice who have been trashing my cushions. Good: mice problem very very solved Bad: I think we have a new roommate

Behold, Trump’s golden age of America right here on Route 1. So glad I drive a hybrid.

Made a garden friend this morning! #butterfly

I completed this shawl - Goldenleaf - for my Mom. #knitting

Took a couple of shots with Halide iii of flowers in my garden off my iPhone. I continue to be impressed with this app.

Frank likes to slowly creep up from the foot of the bed and wait patiently until Dad’s pillow is free. And then…. _he strikes_. Here he is caught in the act of pillow theft!

I’m messing around with the Halide iii app and took a pretty good shot of the woods behind my house.

I made this crazy sweater out of Cat Mountain Fiber Arts yarn. Yarn changer every 5 rows for 2000 yards! The pictures don’t really do this sweater justice. #yarn #knitting

Hello I am Frank I am cute pet me. #dog

A little bit of joy in an otherwise weird week ( Michigan NATTY! The Moon! Threatened genocide on social media!). I made a pair of Sailor Slippers from Brown Sheep Lamb’s Pride in bulky. The yarn felted pretty well in the washer and dryer. #knitting #felting

Finished my Westknit’s Icelandscape shawl in the Blue Lagoon colorway. End to end it’s ~ 7’ long. This one is this year’s winter Hiberknitting. #knitting #knit #shawl

Christmas June gives you all happy holidays side eye!

This is our PVTT - our Physical Virtual Table Top. We’re bringing the digital… into the physical! With bonus - physical dice! #ttrpg #d&d5e

This is Frank. Frank is upset he’s only on a blanket that’s on a pillow that’s on a couch. He’s not cozy enough and full of woe. Only through cuddles and/or treats will he ever find happiness again.

Test bake #2 was Paul Hollywood’s Christmas cheese bread. Honestly I have lots of issues with Paul Hollywood recipes and moisture control. I needed to take out all the stops with keeping water in. The Roquefort is right up the nose. Dunno if the work is worth it. #baking

One of two test bakes today for Christmas. This one is Chef John’s Amish Apple Fritter Bread with glaze from Food Wishes. It’s so good the test slice had us hallucinating. But needs less cinnamon. #baking

I got mad and then I got tired - the Frank story. #dog

Look, it’s not Christmas until Alduin the World Eater stands astride the tree.

My bookshelf with about 1/2 my Revolutionary War book collection and a bunch of art books for no good reason today. I may have indeed read most of these books. (But not the period encyclopedias that’s just weird.)

I made this felted Gnome from a Going Gnome kit I bought from Maryland Sheep and Wool. He’s a most excellent overalls wearing knitting gnome with a fuzzy beard and a sweater project #craft #gnome #knitting

This is Gnot Just Another Gnome from Imagined Landscapes. I made him from fingering weight remnants. Imo he came out excellent. Really love the cables! #knitting #knit #gnome #knitsky

This is Frank. He is, theoretically, a small dog. This has not yet been scientifically proven. At 5am, Frank decided he needed to sleep on my pillow wrapped around my head like a hat. First off, dog hats are hot. Second, they are squirmy. Third, he licked my forehead. Alot. #dogshame #dogs

5am. Frank wakes me up. What is he doing? Licking my elbow. Why? My elbow needed licking. #dog

Feeling get your war on this morning. #iran

This is Gnelson the Gnome from imagined design’s gnomes of grimblewood. And he’s delightful! Check out his custom leather belt! #knitting #knit #craft #pirate

Frank, the King of Empanadas, demands treats.

Finished another piece. This is Photosynthesis by Tin Can Knits in yarn from Fiber Optik Yarns in the Bramble colorway. It is a much simpler knit than it looks! #knit #knitting #yarn #shawl
