Turning lemons into lemonade.
I wrote about a recent pattern submission to a knitting publication that ultimately was turned down.
The upside? I get to self-publish, retain the rights, and see my pattern out in the wild now, as opposed to next year.
And it comes with a 25% off purchase code TREBLED25, good until the end of the month.

I need to stop dropping embroidery needles on grayish–silvery carpeting.

I absolutely do not need another project, already having one embroidery WIP, a knitting pattern to proofread and release, another shawl in the works, and a sweater to restart, but who’s counting?
And yet, I decided this basic black ball cap was in need of pizzazz. This will be an intense labor of love since I do have intentions of covering the whole thing in a simple back stitch, to resemble topographical lines.

Yesterday was @nazhamid@mastodon.social’s birthday, and he ate all the chocolate things. Chocolate sourdough bread made by me, a passion fruit and chocolate cake from Dandelion Chocolate, and chocolate sorbet from Hometown Creamery.
He even held a dog that may as well have been made of chocolate.
May you have many, many more years full of chocolate, my love!

How about we *not* fly fighter jets over the city on opening weekend of baseball.

In a world with socialized healthcare, I wouldn’t need to clutter my brain with stupid knowledge about CPT codes, where 99203 is an office visit while 99386 is a preventive care visit.
The difference being $230 vs $0, after actual insurance allowances are applied.
This system is absolute garbage.

With sunglasses on, earplugs stuffed in my ears, and my butt firmly planted in a nose-bleed seat, I thoroughly enjoyed my second-ever viewing of Nine Inch Nails. Trent & co. have a well-oiled set, lasting at most 1:45, getting me back home by 11 p.m.
Surrounded by Gen Xers, as well as plenty of younger folks, the nostalgia ran high for me, hearkening back to my high school and college days. When did we get so old? And yet, how does Trent sound exactly the same and maintain such energy?!

I’m not sure when it or how it evolved, but my handwriting is a now a print–cursive combo.
My printing and cursive are both subpar, so this hybrid approach is… subpar.
