#WeatherPuppy today is so regal …
Another #Blizzard Another #JigsawPuzzle. I love this subject matter but think these super thin pieces will likely be frustrating…

Finished this week’s #JigsawPuzzle since we were cozied in due to #Blizzard.

I thought this one was a lot of fun. Will drop it off for our #PublicLibrary puzzle exchange. 😎

Another Blizzard = a another #JigsawPuzzle Day. I like this one - just enough challenge and lots of patterns plus the pieces have a great tactile feel and snap.
#fiberuary I made a YipYip (don’t have pipe cleaners in hand for antenna yet)… now just to refine size and shape to hold a fun size candy bar. #crochet

#3GoodThings#ThreeGoodThings
Yesterday
1. Friday is Knoephla Day at a local diner and that warm bowl of soup for lunch was just what was needed at the moment.
2. Continued progress on a project I hope will wrap up by end of next week.
3. Texting specifically chosen, funny memes and reels back-and-forth with my sis.

I’ve been so tempted to make a hanging YipYip basket … and now this is the third time in 2 weeks they’ve appeared in conversation around me. Maybe that’s a nudge…

Yip Yips (crochet) pattern by Carissa Browning

Any fan of late 20th century children’s public television will recognize these lovable aliens. Use them as holiday stockings, toy storage, kids’ laundry, whatever really!

Update: Sis liked the new-to-me hat pattern I tried. Next time I’d probably make it a couple rows shorter. But she likes the loose fold up brim so she can adjust to ponytail when needed. #crochet

Thanks for all the encouragement earlier!
