I just finished my 161st Pokémon. I named him Boomboom, as a reference to the newest episode of Steel Ball Run. Can you can guess what Pokémon I made?

A crocheted Gholdengo from Pokémon Scarlet and Violet stands proudly in the shade of a shrub. The dappled sunlight brings out the bright golden hue of this friendly stack of coins.

Good news: Faziu improved in every area of her health. Her coat is thick and soft, she is more active, she’s eating more, her bladder is clear, and she gained healthy weight and muscle. Less good news: she needs another 6 weeks of fluids to flush out her remaining kidney stones.

After one final wash, my thrifted duvet cover tore right down the middle. We had a good run for five years. My bunnies loved nibbling and scratching holes into it. It always belonged to them.

“…Making this life-sized Togepi was my own subconscious sense of self-preservation. Togepi is meant to be a symbol of happiness, gifting its own joy to a Trainer who can make it stand up. Although Togepi looked as sad as I was, it was still standing.“ New $1 Patron photo blog. 🔗 in reply.

A crocheted Togepi sits on a batch of eggs in the fridge. It has a forlorn little frown on its otherwise adorable face.

This hungry baby singlehandedly destroyed my basil plant. I hoped that it was a cabbage white caterpillar, but it’s likely a fall cankerworm (Alsophila pometaria). Sorry, buddy. Salad’s not free here. #nature #arthrosky #caterpillar

A fall cankerworm, Alsophila pometaria, rests on top of a half-eaten yellowing basil leaf. The caterpillar’s squishy body nearly blends in with the pale green leaf, which is an effective way to hide from a disgruntled gardener. All annoyance aside, it is rather cute. Its plump butt clings to the leaf via sticky false feet. The rest of its body stretches out, with its tiny head and skinny true legs sullenly flopped onto the leaf.

I ran errands today. I fed my family. I got solar exposure and social interactions. I earned the right to noodle out on my couch all afternoon and crochet a new piece for my Gyro cosplay, yeah? 🧶 #crochet #cosplay #sbr #jjba #gyrozeppeli #wip

I am wearing a crocheted hat that Gyro Zeppeli from JoJo Part 7: Steel Ball Run was famously known for. i am also holding two colorful balls of yarn and dramatically posing.

Drafted the ribs of Zygarde’s hood! The size is too small but the shapes are perfect. Now to actually make it… #pokemon #wip #commission #amigurumi #crochet #pokemonart #pkmn #zygarde #legendsza

An unfinished elaborately crocheted amigurumi plush toy of Zygarde from Pokémon Legends: Z-A. Five jagged coffin-shaped paper cutouts radiate from its back to represent the hood of this serpent. The paper drafts look nice, but they’re not Zygarde’s final form!

Turns out eating and resting during post-vaxx fatigue actually replenishes my energy. I was strong enough to jog to the farmers market in the rain, and now I’m going to clean my entire living space. 🫡 In past years, I needed 2-3 weeks to recover from shots. This year, I only needed 3 days.

This is Jerome. He is loved so much that I decided NOT to give him away as originally planned! Jerome has a variety of Mousefits. The Mushroom was the first. More will be shared in the coming days because we definitely need to spread out the cute! #crochet #amigurumi

A crochet version of a small gray mouse with pink ears, nose, tails and hands/feet. He is standing on his hind legs and facing to the left. We have named him Jerome.

Jerome the small gray crochet mouse wearing a giant mushroom costume. The red top with white spots makes me think of an umbrella, that's how big it is over his head. The stem of the musrhoom has a hole for his head and two arms.
