A lazy Sunday is on the agenda today.
Will be tracing out patterns for the costume commission I got. Possibly cutting some or all of the muslin for the toile. (back pain depending)
Set some sourdough bagel dough proofing last but idk if the starter was active enough. It's been cold.
Gonna start my junk journal while we watch the f1 race later in the afternoon.
We started making dinner a little more whimsical lately by always lighting candles. 10/10 recommend
Also kicking off my birthday week with homemade crab rolls, another excellent choice.
Life is good in the Shire.
Thinking about doing a shop from my freezer challenge for the two weeks leading up to the spring equinox.
Feels seasonally appropriate and is right in alignment with my hearth witchery.
Anyone wanna join me?
I am become Crow Friend!!
We went on a little walkies today and partway thru a crow perched near us and started cawing loudly.
We reached the house and I put Dexter away then called "Hey crow" like I always do and two of them SWOOPED down to the yard before I even tossed the peanuts.
I retreated inside to watch from the kitchen window and they were fighting over the peanuts. So I grabbed more, went to the door. They hopped away but didn't take flight.
Tossed a couple more, calling "hey crow" and went back inside to watch.
It's so fun watching the dynamics of the murder. Some obviously have higher rank than others. I think one might be the baby that was hanging around this summer. They were the last to get some peanuts.
So I heard some cawing while I was tidying up from lunch. Grabbed a handful of peanuts and went to the front door. Opened it and said "Hey crows" like I always do.
Immediately crows from down the block came swooping towards the house, perching on the roof, trees, powerlines. About a half dozen.
Tossed the peanuts and they immediately came down to start eating.
Not the best photos cuz the lighting is bad but I present... cake!
Hosted a cake decorating party at my place today. It was a lot of fun.
Oyakodon is one of my favourite meals to prep. I love all the little pans, and the way it's so organized. Everything about it fills me with joy.
Woke up and used probably my entire shoulder movement allotment for the day by getting stew on the stove and mixing up sourdough dumplings for it.
