My roommate/craft wife helped me learn how to do crochet! My mom had tried to reach me when I was a kid but I couldn’t figure it out at the time. I think it was a hand-eye thing. But now I can!
Tumblr media
ID: a small rectangle of single crochet in green yarn
My family always call little test pieces like this mouse scarves

Just read where an author used the term “QWOP” to describe poorly coordinated walking and I’m living for it! I love that! Amazing

Mmmmmm soup
ID: four pictures of soup in various stages. The first three are in a cast iron Dutch oven and the last is in a bowl with two chunks of bread. The first picture is just meat and potatoes, the second is the completed soup. Third is the Dutch oven with the lid on while the soup simmers and finally the soup in a bowl

Got told by my grandmother that I “talk through my teeth” and boy I wish I knew what that meant? Maybe I don’t open my mouth much when I talk? I do kinda mumble if I’m not careful

My parents got me a bread machine for Yule, and I’m returning the favor by immediately making some bread for everyone 😆
ID: a bread machine on a cluttered wooden counter. The digital display indicated that it’s on mode 1 and has two hours and five minutes left of cooking

Aaaaaaaand I forgot to get pictures before I wrapped him 😅 whoops
I’m trying very hard to be positive about the paint job on Bruno, but I won’t lie y’all. It’s not good. It’s real not good. I’m going to try one more thing to try and salvage it, but I think I’m going to have to accept it. Pictures to follow 😬
My friends love me for my charm and good looks, because it’s for sure not my painting skills

Everyone is going on about “no tumblr algorithm” and while that’s basically true of the dashboard, there is the ‘for you’ section that’s literally just algorithm.
I’m not the only one who knows that’s there right? Does it work on some kind of other witchcraft than computer math? Are they talking about it somewhere I’m not seeing?

Matthew and Marrilla are brother and sister?!? I’ve spend this whole book (Anne of green gables) assuming they were married and they’ve been related this whole time!
I’d like to chalk it up to the fact that I’ve listing to it on audiobook in my car and it’s hard to hear sometimes, but honestly I probably just wasn’t paying attention
Had to find out from the Wikipedia for Anne with an e
I’ve been sat here thinking, wow, they’re so chill and such a good couple without all the weird ‘married in the 1900’s power dynamic’ thing. But I guess that would be why 😓

Ready for a layer of clear coat! I’ve never done washes with acrylic paint, but I’ve been lead to believe that it is something that can be done. But I guess I’ll find out either way because that’s what’s next!
ID: two pictures of a seated figurine of Bruno from Encanto on a piece of green construction paper. He has a base layer of paint, but no shading or gradients yet. Also visible are paint brushes and bottles of acrylic paint in the background.

Since I’ve usually got a book I’m working on in some fashion, anytime I’m posting about whatever I’m reading I’ll tag it with “RileyReads” as well as the name of the book

I’ve finally given in. I’ve bought a dog bed to sit and lounge on. I do not have a dog. But I am an adult and I make my own money and I can spend it how I want, gosh darn it!
But this will actually probably be really nice when I’m DMing because I sit on the floor and my legs go to sleep usually

This lady was having an exciting start to her day this morning. Literally not a scratch on the car, and no one was hurt as far as I could tell, but that reddy ice is wrecked. Had to have happened right before I pulled up because she was still talking to a guy from the store with a clipboard
ID: a picture of a white car parked in front of an ice box that’s been crushed into itself, presumably by the car. The car shows no sign of having hit the box.
