I have successfully knitted my first sweater! Same techniques as one a human would wear, just a lot fewer stitches. #CoSoKnitting

Our little friends in the nest near the front door. One of them was getting flying lessons today! They flew back and forth with Mom and Dad, a little slower and staying lower while the parents delivered insects to the ones in the nest. We've seen four young birds sticking their open beaks out to get beetles and grasshoppers delivered.

I 🪕 HAVE 🪕 A 🪕 BANJO 🪕! 🎶

And a low fever, which made learning how to put on a floating bridge interesting, but...

🪕BANJO🪕

I think I've found out who keeps knocking over one of the potted plants in my yard.

Yes! My drum is here! I'm going to make the whole town wish I never moved here!

They don't complain about the ukulele in the middle of the night, but the sound seriously carries with this drum.

Really...I just needed some water.

To be fair, it turned out the family member I was messaging wasn't awake.

Husband wanted to experience nail painting. Okay, I can do that!

Y'all...

He has the nails I always wanted! Wide, long nail beds that make just a little growth look longer. Cuticles push back so easily! Nails are so smooth the polish goes so easy!

I went outside to fill the bird feeder and cry because Cyndi Lauper's "True Colors" was playing and it's been THAT week, and... Tiny tomatoes developing on my plant! 💚

My snake is shedding!

I said I was going to have a Mustang someday. Said it ever since I was a little kid. Finally made it to a point in life where a modern one is not completely unaffordable. But now I can't drive because of the seizures.

Fine. I said I would have one. It doesn't have to be one I can drive. I now have the 1960's classic black Mustang I really wanted!

My new friend is home! This is Lady. He is a Kenyan sand boa.

I have now knitted a tiny Welsh flag for my ancestors to be one of the 1,000 hexagons in this blanket I'm knitting. If I'm knitting that many pieces, this blanket will tell stories!

There will be a day when I demand that the Universe reveal to me "why I'm even trying to write this damn story, anway".

I'd really appreciate it if somebody shows me this on that day.

The necklace means a lot more than just what it means on "Picard". I recognized the symbol immediately and my autistic brain started info dumping all the ways it could apply to the story. And his autistic brain knew this was a particularly personal level of special interest, so he quietly bought me the necklace.

My Cape Sundew is now a Lake Monster plant! My sisters-in-law gave the fish pot to me for Christmas, and I knew it would be for the Cape Sundew when it was time to clean her up and repot her. A fish with carnivorous tentacles! 🥰

My book made it back to me! I did this several years ago for the Brooklyn Art Library's Sketchbook Project. Sadly, they have to close. But I was able to get my book sent back to me! It survived a fire at the library, I've moved to a different state than where I lived when I did it, and now we're together again. Praise Lake Monster!

I think this is the best drawing of Azathoth I've done. Probably one of my best Lovecraft Mythos drawings.

I also have no idea how anyone would know if it wasn't. I mean, it's not like we can agree on cheekbones, facial hair, etc with this.

I haven't done much colorwork, so I figured I can get some practice with these hexagons. The tension is different with multiple strands. That's why I need practice.

This one ended up looking like an Easter egg!

Knitted my first hexipuff today! Learned Judy's Magic Cast On for it, and Kitchener is my preferred way for finishing socks, so I'm grafting things to finish these, too.

Finished the neurographic piece I've been working on. It will be interesting to do more of these pieces, collect them, and see how the representation of my brain activity in art changes over time.
