The outdoor flowers have continued to bloom away this week, and the indoor kitchen plants have been doing well also. The avocado tree is growing away! There are leaves starting to sprout from the central stalk all the way up, so it isn’t just a stick with some growth at the top, though that’s what… Continue reading Floral Update

July 30, 2020 quiteayarnblog18 Comments

My story today starts, as my stories often do, with yarn. I recently bought a Dinosaur Eggs: A Study miniskein set from Yarnaceous Fibers, whose dinosaur and geology themed asthetic I enjoy.

I’ve Been Living In a Wiggly World*

July 4, 2020July 4, 2020 quiteayarnblog12 Comments

It’s been in the mid to upper 70’s for the last couple days, which means we are basically laying around sweating and complaining about the heat. It also means I have whipped out one of my intermittent culinary hobbyhorses. Gelatine. Not Jell-O, though I have nothing against it. I use Knox unflavoured gelatine to congeal… Continue reading I’ve Been Living In a Wiggly World*

Flower Update

I have decided to just focus on Arachne this week, and while I’m making good progress, I don’t want to just post about it every day.
