Dev @dev-in-pnw.bsky.social · 27/12/2025Almost a year later (took my first weaving class the 4 weeks of Feb) and my loom is almost totally setup. It just took a few hours! We are turning the apartment into a craft room. BEST DECISION EVER. #weaving #loom 0120 0
Dev @dev-in-pnw.bsky.social · 16/06/2025Perfectly timed pause! 🫢😆🤣 Finally started watching #Hacks We just watched 5 episodes? I think we like it. 😉 010 0

Dev @dev-in-pnw.bsky.social · 05/06/2025Yr 3. I think it’s going to bloom for the first time!The deer better stay away. 🙏🏼 I’m pretty sure this is slender leaf milkweed. I sowed a LOT of seeds in fall ‘23. The majority did not mature successfully. Or, honestly…I may have weeded them. Watching these plants grow this year has been exciting. 110 0

Dev @dev-in-pnw.bsky.social · 24/05/20251 month ago. 4-23-25. A glorious collection of mostly native plants. Like, 98% native. #plantnatives #gardening 050 0
Dev @dev-in-pnw.bsky.social · 24/05/2025Got rid of the front lawn last fall—with 3 #chipdrop deliveries and a lot of sweat. Just got 2 espalier apple trees in the ground with our new garden beds. This is a dream fulfilled at age 45, kids. 🥹🥰#getridofyourlawn #gardening 110 0
Dev @dev-in-pnw.bsky.social · 23/05/2025Maybe it’s just a paywall? But the sections just…. Do you see? I’ve seen abstracts with a paywall, but never partial access before. 110 0
Dev @dev-in-pnw.bsky.social · 22/05/2025Look at this adorable bee!!! What is it? We saw it last week on penstemon—lost it before we could get a picture. Saw it again today!!! Then saw 3 of them in the cascara. 120 0
Dev @dev-in-pnw.bsky.social · 21/05/2025The #deer are here. It got my checker mallow on its first year’s bloom, and nibbled on my Pacific Waterleaf and Swamp Rose, too. Just…be patient!!! I #plantnatives for everyone, but just let them get established so we can share, buddy. One just walked by. I said, nooooo. Not yet! 000 0
Dev @dev-in-pnw.bsky.social · 21/05/2025Added sword ferns, nootka roses, swamp rose, salmonberry, western vibernum, red elderberry, pacific wax myrtle, Oregon grapes, salals, gooseberries, coltsfoot, pacific waterleaf, goatsbeard, pacific ninebarks, hummingbird trumpet, willows, incense cedars, huckleberries, seablush, twinberry, & more. 030 0

Dev @dev-in-pnw.bsky.social · 21/05/2025Beaver tracks, monkey flower, lupine, red osier dogwood, snowberry, slough sedge, rushes. None of this creekside flora was here 3 years ago. Just bare rock. I over-seeded the existing lawn with a native mix. 240 0
Dev @dev-in-pnw.bsky.social · 21/05/2025This is a tiny shoot of a red elderberry I planted last year after we cut down 2 burning bushes. I thought this was dead, after succumbing to the slugs. I am THRILLED to see it’s hanging on!Everyone says elderberries are easy to grow…I argue easier for slugs to eat. 😢 #plantnatives #gardening 000 0
Dev @dev-in-pnw.bsky.social · 19/05/2025Garden box for apple trees is done. 2nd box almost done. First time trying out Shui Sugi Ban method. #gardening #gardenbox 120 0
Dev @dev-in-pnw.bsky.social · 15/05/2025First year of mason bee keeping. Mason bees are way better pollinators than honey bees, FYI. Just a couple more weeks before we bring them in to protect the cocoons from predators. I planted so many new plants for them!!! It’s almost a full house! #bees #pollinators 🐝 #nativeplants 010 0
Dev @dev-in-pnw.bsky.social · 25/04/2025What did you buy that was so expensive? Just curious because I went to a local native plant sale and bought all these…for just under $200. (I will add a crazy good deal, 26 trees for $21; $15/20 trees). Happy Arbor Day! Happy planting!!! 110 0
Dev @dev-in-pnw.bsky.social · 12/04/2025We made terrariums and my husband chose a very large Erlenmeyer flask. He had to use a narrow funnel for precise rocks placement and tweezers that were like…maybe ~12” long. Slow progress. But it’s so cool. 000 0

Dev @dev-in-pnw.bsky.social · 31/03/2025Bath time! I bought some #nativeplants this weekend from www.willamettegardens.com#Anchor-TREES... Did some weeding and put out the first batch of mason bees. No activity yet. 😢🤞🏼 000 0
Dev @dev-in-pnw.bsky.social · 03/03/2025I was taught change it every 2 days. 🤷🏻♀️ Taught that their tongue literally wraps around the inside of their heads. If the food is funky, they can die within 6 hrs of eating from infection. I only focus on feeding them in the winter. 000 0
Dev @dev-in-pnw.bsky.social · 02/03/2025We finally pulled the trigger! We bought mason bee cocoons. Bought a whole set up…then WON another in the raffle!!! #bees #pollinators #nativeplants I already decided that since I will be focusing on creating my forever native garden, I’m gonna just buy starts for my edibles. And blueberry plants. 150 0

Dev @dev-in-pnw.bsky.social · 28/02/2025There’s 30 #nativeplants in that bundle. Bareroot is the way to go. Cheaper, insanely easy/fast to plant, and a much higher success rate in my experience. 030 0
Dev @dev-in-pnw.bsky.social · 28/02/2025I canceled Amazon Prime. Now I am supporting small businesses more often. Walking around McMinnville today, found a fun tea shop down some stairs. They gifted me with a free measuring spoon as a thanks for switching from Amazon. #shoplocal #tea 020 0
Dev @dev-in-pnw.bsky.social · 27/02/2025It’s super fun buying new brews for my hubby. Because I really do love the helles out of him, 😝. I bought NA for me. #beer 030 0

Dev @dev-in-pnw.bsky.social · 16/02/2025First 🧶 knitting, now catching up on my #books pages in a hot bath while listening to the sound of rain. #Zags played really well tonight. 🙏🏼🤗🥹 Can’t complain, kids. This is totally a dream life. So blessed. 1100 0
Dev @dev-in-pnw.bsky.social · 14/02/2025🧶 alright, I made a lot of progress knitting my first cables. I just took out a lifeline and found a dropped stitch. Any tips for how to secure this thing and make it look good? 330 0
Dev @dev-in-pnw.bsky.social · 09/02/2025Do you see what I see? It took the help of YOU, my lively 🧶 knitting community on here! I got much needed encouragement, links, and helpful tips which allowed me to fully understand what I needed to do so I could interpret the directions. I put in another lifeline. My FIRST CABLES are burgeoning! 2440 0
Dev @dev-in-pnw.bsky.social · 07/02/2025Here it is. The 3-st LPC has a misprint (i think) in the stitch glossary. I color coded it orange to make it easier to read. I have no clue what i did. 4th time’s the charm. But not today. 100 0
Dev @dev-in-pnw.bsky.social · 07/02/2025🧶 I’m so flabbergasted. This is my third time (over years) trying to get this sweater made. My first cables. I have somehow gone from 28 stitches to 33 when doing my first row of cables. I swear, 3 times is enough to make me feel like can’t do this. It’s just so pretty! I need to take a moment 😢 😩 5180 0

Dev @dev-in-pnw.bsky.social · 01/02/2025This is a 2019 Sweet P Riesling, but I just drank an ‘81 pinot noir and an’85 riesling Hidden Springs wine, shared by a generous man during his presentation…the oldest wines I’ve ever had. Feeling the history and love this morning. ❤️ Brooks is the BEST. 000 0
Dev @dev-in-pnw.bsky.social · 31/01/2025I may be making a big mistake by jumping into “intermediate level” when I’m a complete novice. But watching my husband teach himself, I know that slow and methodical gets the job done. It’s a life lesson in patience. Buying muslin today for practice. Already bought cloth for the other pair. 120 0
Dev @dev-in-pnw.bsky.social · 26/01/2025My first weaving project is complete. Green tencel and undyed fingering weight 60% superwash merino, 20% silk, 20% yak; plain weave. !!!!!!! I did it! #weaving #fiberarts 4290 0
Dev @dev-in-pnw.bsky.social · 25/01/2025Almost done with this great book. Realizing that as annoying it is, always being cold, when the hot days come I won’t be able to enjoy these kinds of moments. Relaxing in a hot bath is such great therapy for the body and mind. Oh! And check out the bookmark! Handwoven! #tea #books 010 0
Dev @dev-in-pnw.bsky.social · 23/01/2025Omg. This tea drawer is out of hand. And we have an overflow drawer, but way more organized because they’re unopened boxes. But it smells SO GOOD when I open it. The new homemade loose leaf bags locally grown?! Just magic. #tea 040 0
Dev @dev-in-pnw.bsky.social · 19/01/2025#batchcooking for the week. I’ve got my berry oatmeal bowls made. Popcorn snack, bean/lentil soup with leek, shallots, garlic, mustard greens, and roasted veggies (beets, celeriac root, onion, delicata squash, and garlic), and brown rice. #CSA #wfpb 000 0

Dev @dev-in-pnw.bsky.social · 10/01/2025And just like that, my loom is “dressed?” Is that the correct term? And my very first plain weave is started. You can really see my improvement on the edging as I went along! I’m so excited to be learning this skill!!! #weaving #fibrearts 2210 0
