My favourite addition is 10-20g of everything bagel seasoning into 500g of flour! So good. Also replacing 100g of bread flour for rye or whole wheat has als been adding a nice flavor change as well.

This looks amazing! Definitely a commitment to get this finished, especially with 1mm hook. But it’s beautiful so far. Are you following a specific pattern

I love my Calatheas but they are the biggest spider mite magnets ever. I’d have them in the middle of a bunch other plants, all fine except the Calathea which would have mites yet again…. So annoying.

I am on book 5 of Cradle series by Will Wight. They’ve been super fun and fast paced, like little popcorn books.

The writing is serviceable, the characters are not super deep, but the world and exploration and discovery have been great. I didn’t think I would like the series but I’ve been pleasantly surprised and I think it’s definitely a good read between more difficult books because it’s a breeze getting through them.

I think these were mostly replaced by art books due to the info from guide books now being on the internet. I collect a lot of art books from games I like, though not every game puts one out.

I’ve been working on an epistolary horror novel told in the form of letters. I was worried about it at first but It’s been pretty fun and interesting to use this format!

I think these might just be three strand braids put together in a way to replicate a knit. Knitting fondant sounds like an awful time!

It really doesn’t help that over the last few years I’ve been getting all sorts of ebooks on sale thinking I’ll get to them eventually, they’re on sale so it’s not so bad, it’s fine… hundreds of books later.

Ebook for fiction books. The convenience is amazing and i don’t have enough space for all the books as physical copies in my place. Plus generally much cheaper to buy.

I do however buy some non-fiction books (ex. books on writing/editing/crafting techniques/etc.) as physical copies as I reference them more often and searching is much easier in physical format.

That looks like scale to me. Using isopropyl alcohol and then wiping them off should usually take care of them. You just have to thoroughly search as they can also be hiding in the roots.

The Beauty by Aliya Whiteley is suppose to be about a society where all the women died some time ago and the last generation of men are trying to survive and cope with that. I have not read it yet though so I am not sure if they include any trans characters and their fates, but maybe it will interest you.

If you have a spray bottle you can mix water and a bit of soap and spray down the flowers to knock them off. It also makes a slippery surface so they should have a hard time getting back on. Though tomatoes don’t usually like water on the stalks or leaves too much so be careful and try to target the affected areas only.

 

I switched over to the app last night and noticed that my subscription list is empty. The Home screen shows my subscription posts correctly but the actual list of them is never populated even after force closing the app and reopening.

 

I’m making some gifts for the holidays and decided to try lino printing. I drew and carved this stamp out as a first test run and I really love the results. Going to be making some more real soon!

 

They were quite large too! Really pretty set.

 

I love it so much!

 

I made a lot of pots for my plants, and this is one of the few that I kept hole-free. I love the color combination on it!

 

The smell of the roasted garlic was sooo good.

 

Made two of these the other day and I love how the garlic came through! Super good.

I used this recipe: Crusty Roasted Garlic and Rosemary Bread

 

I have a lot of pictures of baked good so I’m just going to start posting them in here. Starting with challah I made a while back. Plain, white and black sesame seeds.

 
 

I have a ton of plants around my house and this is a small collection I put together behind my work desk! It includes:

  • Philodendron lemon lime
  • Global green pothos
  • Tradescantia nanouk
  • Pepperomia pilea
  • Zz plant
  • Aglaonema cherry
  • Curly spider plant (bonnie)
