What's On My Hooks and Needles:

Finished:

Nope.

In Progress:

Really Pretty Socks—on the foot of sock #1
 Wild Lettuce Shawl: on the knitted on lace edging, but not yet at the midpoint
Twinface’s vest (restarted in smaller size) It’s now in the mail and heading her way!
Temperature Blanket—caught up and angling around in orange-yellows

My Three Favorite Resources:

Dizzy Blondes:  


Strategy: 

Distress tolerance: Mindfulness : grounding skills: try one!
1. Describe something in great detail, using all 6 senses
2. Identify everything your 6 senses are experiencing in this moment
3. Army breathe or breathe in "here" Breathe out "now"
4. Move your body mindfully, such as a yoga pose done slowly and carefully

Put a Lid On It:


Keto BOBA!?!?

2 Tbsp beef gelatin
1 cup coffee or tea
Boba mold (silicon)

Heat liquid and add gelatin.
Over low heat, bring to boil while whisking.
Allow to thicken slightly.
Cool 4 minutes.
Spoon into mold or use syringe to put in mold.
Freeze 2 hours.

Put in thick, syrupy tea!


Boba mold (not the egg molds above)


Aw Shoot!

30 minutes per day; gear from the bottom up:  Head gear, bandanas

Fluffy Books:

Something I Really Like:

Warm Thanks Dept:

I miss the porch swing too!

What's On My Hooks and Needles:

Finished:

Roving Rug #2—still using up the roving stash, but stalled as I ran out of rougher roving. But this led to the (re)discovery of my camelid stash and more coarse roving hidden in the bedroom closet.

In Progress:

Really Pretty Socks—on the leg of sock #1, past the heel stitches
 Wild Lettuce Shawl: on the knitted on lace edging, but not yet at the midpoint
Twinface’s vest (restarted in smaller size) It’s now in the mail and heading her way!
Temperature Blanket—caught up and angling around in orange-yellows


Eyeing..the owl post sweater...or another Agnes without pockets

I’m currently wearing...  

Sweat. It's 90F right now.
