Feels so weird attending secondary school open evenings for the eldest. Feels like only a couple years back I'd have been participating as a student. Pretty sweet when @codewolf.bsky.social owned the sporty kid at badminton demo, kids face was priceless!

Pattern by Squibberlyrose_creations on Instagram. Pattern is available to purchase via their ravelry page along with other brilliant patterns. Eldest child wanted this for school teacher, 3 days from end of term. Luckily teacher is still there so able to make over summer for 1st day back. Loved him

Although the land is suffering from a severe lack of rainfall to nourish everything, I think our garden is glad it's been able to breathe now we've cleared a fair bit from out of control and overgrown areas. In the process we've found huge tree stumps, old dog toys, a bone and a patio.

Home grown patty pan squash. These taste really good roasted with herbs or spices. These ones may be made into cake

I'd love to credit whoever wrote this. No idea. But I'm 100% with its message. When I think of how the '80s ethos, "Greed is Good" has metastasized, it surprises and depresses me. Imagine having so many millions, hundred of millions, even billions & caring about nothing except your own vanity.

This house came with some fruit & nut trees/bushes so this year I attempted to make cherry plum jam. It was messy, and apron needed as top got stained. But damn, its tasty! And THICC. A previous owner used to make jams and various other things from the fruit, so it's cool to kinda continue that.

Anyone that knows @codewolf.bsky.social .. Is he always even weirder than usual after a few drinks, or is that something that's developing as he moves closer to the senior years?

The only place to crochet comfortably currently. With a bit of distraction from baby longtails and some cloud watching. The breeze is so welcome. #crochetgoose

Love it when a nightmare screws with your mental health. Crochet and attempting to knit are my go-to when this happens usually but other health issues are currently making that difficult with the tingling in the fingers causing me trouble holding a hook or needles for long without discomfort 😞

illustrated in soft colors, a dragon lies on its left side  and knits a narrow scarf with wide pastel pink and blue stripes. there are quite a few balls of yarn scattered in front and some of these are being attacked by kittens. one of the kittens has a blue and pink striped sweater on, as does another kitten lounging on the partially unfolded left wing.   
the scene is set outdoors, in a snowy landscape with pink and blue twighlight clouds.
