Your Black History Moment

Not in The Epstein Files.

We got our chicks today! Their names are Excelsior, Spade, Butter, Tendy, Potpie and Cashew. :)

3 views of the same yellow pear tomato

Behold. The first of our yellow pear tomatoes. I had to capture every side. These are a small heirloom type. We know from last year yellow tomatoes are so sweet & mild. She's awaiting her fate at dinner. #gardening #kcagg #heirloom #yellowpear

Aww I miss Frizz!

That's awesome!! It's such a great one!

Three crochet coasters. Two blue green & white and one creamsickle (oranges and whites.)

I made these three coasters for my mother using cotton yarn. The pattern is called Sunrise coaster by TL Yarn Crafts. I just watch this tutorial over and over while making each one. I'm pleased with how they came out. youtu.be/5OkdVPRWSn0?...

Been gardening again this year. #gardening #zone7b

A red and yellow tulip

I needed to see something beautiful today. Maybe you do too. #timelinecleanse

That's awesome! Good to know projects can keep! :)

My mind is a buzz with projects. Love that it's little bits of a big project. :)

Six colorful granny squares

I've been on a roll. They aren't perfect, but they're mine. I'm in love with granny squares. #chrochet #fiberarts

Thank you! The color is soft white watermelon, in the red heart granny square yarn.

A colorful granny square

I have successfully learned to granny square. Used a yarn meant for switching so the colors aren't perfect, but I love it anyway! #chrochet #fiberart

Thank you but I went to my bank today and now it's just a waiting game.

Oooh thank you! I'm only been crocheting like a week so I'm excited to learn new things. Did my 1st granny square yesterday :)

Did you create this stitch? It's awesome!

Back before he had the good hair...

A chain of yellow, white, blue pink crochet stitches.

I have no idea what to do with this incredibly long chain of crochet. I am I'll probably frog it and practice other stitches.

Thanks!! It's fun. :)

Short blue crochet chain

Today I crocheted for the first time. I made this chain. It's terrible but I get the concept now.

Happy spring Delphine :)

Saturday was planting day! #gardening #zone7bgardening TikTok video by RuthieFantastic

We were planting in a Saturday! :) www.tiktok.com/t/ZP82VKRND/

Me. And some pretty flowers from my garden.

I don't think so. A fun, made-up word for wanting both a hot and cold drink simultaneously could be "thermobrine", combining "thermo" (related to heat) and "brine" (referring to a cold, salty liquid.)

It came back around 2am. I was in bed by 10:30. It was glorious! :)

Power went out due to a wind storm about 730. Power co says it might be back at 9. I think I'll be going to bed early tonight. :)

Closeup of a Tunisian crochet honeycomb stitch throw blanket in process. There is a Tunisian hook laying on the work. There is a skein of yarn in the background. The label reads "100% premier Acrylic. BIG TWIST VIVID. The work and yarn are the same, both are a very light purple, blue and green in subtle stripes. Each color looks to be mixed with white fiber, giving the work a soft white glow.

This might be desperation speaking, but I'm gonna try!

Anyone in #crochet or #knitting have ONE skein of: Big Twist Vivid (DK/3) Blu/Purp? 🙏 Was nearly done with a throw...3 yrs ago...but I mathed wrong. I had 11 skeins, not 12. 😂 Been in WIP ever since. 💔
If I have to frog it... 😩 #yarnproblems

My child collects clocks. They have no less than 20 in their small bedroom. They pretty much all make noise. It's a symphony of minutes passing as I wake them for school on a Monday before the sun comes up.

Trying to make friends with the squirrels. #gardensky #gardening #zone7b

We did some planting in the garden today. We planted two kinds of peas and two kinds of carrots. First 13 and Maxigolt shelling peas. Kaleidescope and purple haze carrots. The Maxigolt is our only repeat. #zone7b #gardening
