We’ve been a little busy moving in furniture over the weekend. Now we’re busy getting our offices, the den, bedroom, and dining room settled. Meanwhile, here are some cranberry cardamom scones.
When your pollen allergies lead to a sinus infection so hitting 100% of your #hpkchc BROOM is cutting it close. After deciding which layout, I need to stitch them together with the bright green yarn. Pattern is @kristinnicholas.bsky.social’s Crocheted Hexagons using #VannasChoice yarn.
Yesterday we took molting Lady Opal to visit The Fuzzy EAR at 2nd Sundays in Williamsburg, VA. She was able to see Lexi, Lorraine and Pete, and the other buns including her dad Vincent. I managed to remember to snap a photo of her in TFE’s signature pram.
Thank you! That pattern would make an amazing wimple/cowl.
Egads. I never thought I’d see the day that the T went that far south!
Hehe. With how he demands fresh parsley and cilantro, not to mention dried figs, he knows it too!
Guess who turns 5 years-old today? #frenchlops #spoiledbunny
I’m still baking, knitting, and crocheting. The cookies recipe is by @knitmoregirls.bsky.social, the hat pattern by @hunterhammersen.bsky.social, and the basic granny square is from Rav.
While cleaning my office, I keep getting distracted when I find randoms skeins/balls/cakes of yarn. Then I reminisce where/when I bought/recvd said yarn, like at MD/NY S&W or at the various shops in New England. Gosh I miss visiting WEBS (yarn.com)!
Egads. I remember going there on that place’s opening night.
Been busy with spring cleaning my office. So far no yarn has not been tossed out… YET. (Eyeing the old balls of washcloth cotton and cheap acrylic)
So pretty and fun!
More of yesterday’s baking and cooking: onion thyme rolls to go with the baked cod and stewed apples
SlytherBun and I figured now that the snow has started would be a good time to introduce Lady Opal to the cold white stuff. Her reaction was the same as Lord Dresden’s: “Really Mom? There better be treats after THIS!” #bunniesinthesnow #adoptdontshop #makeminechocolate #bunniesarenottoys
How crazy is our #HamptonRoads weather in the 757? Jim Cantore is in VA Beach.

Seeing how ~10 months-old Lady Opal is bigger than ~5YO Lord Dresden constantly makes me smile. #frenchlops #makeminechocolate #rabbitsarenottoys #adoptdontshop #spoiledbunnies
Ha! For me, it would be the spanakopita boxes and Portuguese custard tarts.
Thanks! They are from Corelle’s Amazon Store. We bought them because I loved how they looked like knit stitches.
I cannot help but giggle because all I can see are my daily dishware’s dinner plates.
That is the exact reason I didn’t shop at Costco yesterday. Too many foods that would tempt me with Super Bowl sale prices.
Admittedly yes. I’m a bit selfish when it comes to using treasured stash as gifts. I only use these yarns for close pals.
My current main #WIP: Unless time could be turned a fortnight back, my @lisaknit.bsky.social Biophilia is this month’s #hpkchc Detention homework. #knittinglace ravel.me/somebunnyslo...
Today kiddo and I stayed home because both of us were hit with a bug. My dinner solution: my roasted chicken noodle soup and Wiseman’s chocolate cake
Vent: I never thought I could detest Apple’s iOS until this latest update.
He definitely spoils me. ❤️
On Sunday, my husband gave me the bad news that the #8Wagner skillet I bought at a church tag sale 30 yrs ago died after a fall on the floor. For Lunar New Year, he replaced it with a Bordeaux #Staub (my first!) I have eyed since last year. Just don’t tell my Le Creuset pots.
Good morning and Hoppy Friday Eve! I am finally updating my account since I signed up here. The painful process of going through my SM accounts to add everyone I follow will be satisfying after shutting the door of malicious incivility. Here’s a shot of my apple jam butter cookies as penance.
