Victoria 🪴 @mimimerlot.northsky.social · 8hI've never knitted more than a scarf before. I am knitting a cardigan for the first time. Super simple one. I'm just following the pattern and trusting the process right now because I have no idea how this works. 1120 12
Victoria 🪴 @mimimerlot.northsky.social · 16/10/2026Oh heck yeah! First stretch goal has been unlocked for Rangers of a Broken World TTRPG by @catlinggun.bsky.social, published by @evilhat.bsky.social. If you haven't backed this yet, you should! There's so much kindness and hope in this game. I think we need that. www.backerkit.com/c/projects/e... 295 9
Victoria 🪴 @mimimerlot.northsky.social · 11/10/2026Candied sweet potatoes are ready for the oven. 120 2
Victoria 🪴 @mimimerlot.northsky.social · 11/10/2026Leeks, garlic, rosemary, red wine, shiitake, and truffle salt. The roast will cook in this. 120 2
Victoria 🪴 @mimimerlot.northsky.social · 11/10/2026Table is set. With mom in the hospital, I went disposable for the tableware. We're all quite tired and emotionally raw, so I am making it easy on us. Note the card table dip to accommodate all of us. 😅 100 1
Victoria 🪴 @mimimerlot.northsky.social · 11/10/2026The leek and brie flamiche, before the pastry covering. It will then be coated in egg yolk and refrigerated until the turkey comes out in three hours. 110 1
Victoria 🪴 @mimimerlot.northsky.social · 11/10/2026Beginnings of candied sweet potatoes. Sweet potatoes, cinnamon sticks, two orange halves (left over from the cranberry sauce), and two bags of pomegranate, hibiscus, and rosehip tea. The sweet potatoes will be mashed with margarine, ginger, nutmeg, cinnamon, and brown sugar and then baked. 120 2
Victoria 🪴 @mimimerlot.northsky.social · 11/10/2026Cranberry sauce will simmer for an hour. Made with whole cranberries, zest of two oranges and two lemons, sugar, water, and the juice of two oranges. 120 2
Victoria 🪴 @mimimerlot.northsky.social · 11/10/2026Making Thanksgiving dinner! Stuffing is a rye sourdough with apples, cranberries, garlic, onion, celery, green pepper, margarine*, loads of sage, rosemary, white wine, and stock. *a couple guests have dairy allergies, otherwise I would use butter. 190 9
Victoria 🪴 @mimimerlot.northsky.social · 10/10/2026It's been a very long and stressful day spent in the hospital with an ailing parent. The hospital is ongoing and will be for about a week if all goes well. It's to do with Parkinson's. I bought these to break out for Thanksgiving, but I will open one up tonight. 040 4
Victoria 🪴 @mimimerlot.northsky.social · 04/10/2026Backed this game ages ago. Finally cracking it open. 2232 23
Victoria 🪴 @mimimerlot.northsky.social · 04/10/2026About to jump into this sapphic dystopian scifi for book club. 131 3
Victoria 🪴 @mimimerlot.northsky.social · 03/10/2026I'll pickle, make relish, and freeze the green tomatoes. But what I am most delighted about are the Peter Piper peppers at the front. They look exactly like they were advertised on the seed packet and make me laugh. 2140 14
Victoria 🪴 @mimimerlot.northsky.social · 01/10/2026I stated this in a Discord and this is what was posted in response. A+ posting. 050 5
Victoria 🪴 @mimimerlot.northsky.social · 29/09/2026Used Affinity to design these. And I love that Alphonse Mucha's stuff is public domain now. 120 2
Victoria 🪴 @mimimerlot.northsky.social · 29/09/2026Secretly, I set this one in the 1920s because I have a fringed and sequined dress in my closet I've only ever worn once. I also have an appropriately bobbed wig. So, y'know... 110 1
Victoria 🪴 @mimimerlot.northsky.social · 29/09/2026My friends like ones that are set in the past so they can dress up in costumes, so I tend to keep things a bit historical. 110 1
Victoria 🪴 @mimimerlot.northsky.social · 29/09/2026Anyway, I love writing these things. They're quite easy, to be honest. Once you have a format, you just set a theme and fill in the blanks. 110 1
Victoria 🪴 @mimimerlot.northsky.social · 29/09/2026I'll be playing the murder victim, Amelie Mignon. I'll be alive throughout dinner as we set the story up, and then die shortly afterward so I can facilitate the game. 120 2
Victoria 🪴 @mimimerlot.northsky.social · 29/09/2026The characters are over the top and ridiculous on purpose. Not everyone is an actor so the silliness gives something for everyone to grab onto. Plus, it lends itself to a fun and entertaining night. 120 2
Victoria 🪴 @mimimerlot.northsky.social · 29/09/2026I created these characters with each of my friends who will be playing them in mind. I know they're comfortable to play each role. 120 2
Victoria 🪴 @mimimerlot.northsky.social · 29/09/2026I wrote a murder mystery for a dinner party with friends and designed postcard invitations for each of them. Each have a little character background for them so they can cobble together a costume. They'll receive more details when they arrive at the party. I haven't designed those cards yet. 1101 10
Victoria 🪴 @mimimerlot.northsky.social · 27/09/2026Making blueberry beer. Starting the mash. I'll probably do two boils. 070 7
Victoria 🪴 @mimimerlot.northsky.social · 24/09/2026This is my I am still sick, but kinda better so back to work look. But I am pleased that my hair is long enough to pile on top of my head now. Growing out a 'hawk is a lot. Lol This has taken a few years. 170 7
Victoria 🪴 @mimimerlot.northsky.social · 21/09/2026I'm sure I can make something that looks like this, but tastes great. Those just look like beet roots in a pudding. 100 1
Victoria 🪴 @mimimerlot.northsky.social · 20/09/2026Playing the dlc to pillars of eternity 2 and there is an asset overlap. I need to interact with the spirit (the pink/purple thing) but it is prioritizing the blue thing which changes the water levels. I can't get it to register the spirit at all, no matter what angle I try to approach it from. 210 2
Victoria 🪴 @mimimerlot.northsky.social · 17/09/2026I finished way ahead of schedule, which is great! I had so many issues physically with my shoulder, arm, & out of control auto immune disease for quite some time. It's really nice to be able to move around again. I need a cane on bad days, but that's fine. I can get around & that's what matters. 140 4
Victoria 🪴 @mimimerlot.northsky.social · 14/09/2026... Thanks, LinkedIn, for letting me know I can be my own client. 1131 13
Victoria 🪴 @mimimerlot.northsky.social · 14/09/2026Looking for a period drama to watch. Count of Monte Cristo or Poldark? 110 1
Victoria 🪴 @mimimerlot.northsky.social · 11/09/2026My hair was this colour as a kid (my dad's side of the family are all gingers), but it faded to a dark blonde as I got older, with coppery highlights in the sun. I always fall back on this colour when I need a change but don't want to grab the scissors. 041 4
Victoria 🪴 @mimimerlot.northsky.social · 10/09/2026Looking through the Newzoo 2026 Global Games Market Report and honestly, I'm loving that Paralives is coming to take the crown from Sims. I haven't played The Sims 4 since the buyout, and I was a whale. 000 0
Victoria 🪴 @mimimerlot.northsky.social · 01/09/2026I laugh every time I type in Steamworks in search for work. The sauna was founded in 2004. Steam's portal was created in 2008. They only had to do a little searching before deciding on a name... 160 6
Victoria 🪴 @mimimerlot.northsky.social · 30/08/202618.4 litres of salsa. Jars are sterilizing while this simmers. 160 6
Victoria 🪴 @mimimerlot.northsky.social · 29/08/2026This is the first time I have been able to get an African violet to bloom again. I am so proud of myself. The trick I've learned is to pretty much ignore it and just give it a bit of water every 1 to 1.5 weeks. 0110 11
Victoria 🪴 @mimimerlot.northsky.social · 29/08/2026Went out into the county to shop the farmer stands. Got 15 kg of roma tomatoes and 4 kg of jalapenos, and a big bag of white onions. Guess what I am canning tomorrow? 060 6
Victoria 🪴 @mimimerlot.northsky.social · 29/08/2026So... gonna finally do a thing, at 44 years old. 070 7
Victoria 🪴 @mimimerlot.northsky.social · 23/08/2026Bottled 9 litres of the blueberry-pineapple ginger beer! It's a beautiful colour. It'll clear up more after it settles. 160 6
Victoria 🪴 @mimimerlot.northsky.social · 22/08/2026Had lunch at a nearby vineyard, Cooper's Hawk. Had an equally lovely view there. 010 1
Victoria 🪴 @mimimerlot.northsky.social · 22/08/2026I love where I live: a small city nestled in an agricultural county surrounded by lakes, vineyards, breweries, historical museums, galleries, beaches, and lots of markets and festivals. Went out to a couple of vineyards today. Bought a few bottles. This one is a small batch. Really nice. 120 2
Victoria 🪴 @mimimerlot.northsky.social · 21/08/2026Yeah! The indigo gin is beautiful on its own, but when mixed with lime juice 96t makes this lovely lilac colour. 210 2
Victoria 🪴 @mimimerlot.northsky.social · 21/08/2026Making mushroom gravy from scratch. Also making: Yorkshire pudding, green beans almondine, Parisien peas, mashed potatoes, and a roast (but cooked in the pressure cooker and finished on high heat in the oven). A lot of red wine, garlic, and rosemary flavours going on here. 160 6
Victoria 🪴 @mimimerlot.northsky.social · 21/08/2026Made a French gimlet. Empress Indigo Gin St Germains Elderflower Liqueur Lime Juice Tiny touch of Sea Salt Garnished with rose buds and lavender to keep the floral aromas going. 3120 12
Victoria 🪴 @mimimerlot.northsky.social · 21/08/2026I have chosen my path for my cello adventure. I am now at the buying accessories stage because wood floors and cellos don't play well with each other. 030 3
Victoria 🪴 @mimimerlot.northsky.social · 15/08/2026The elderflower wine. Going to let this steep for a few days and then I'll add the yeast and nutrient after straining. 100 1
