I like a variety of things, usually involving science or science fiction. My hobbies are all excuses to collect pretty colors: sewing, quilting, knitting, even baking and running, somehow. Microbiology and food safety person. Every now and then I code something.

@eramdam everyone has to look at the slime zip disks ok? ok.
First 5k since January, when other, older, tendon issues decided to come back! Beautiful weather and birds and flowers, too. I saw a scissortail hanging out on a fence and a crow that had decided to lazily repeat "ah" with much boredom for a good 5 minutes. Here are some of the storksbill flowers I saw. #running
Fuck it, we ball #quilting

Signet marigold & cosmos seeds planted, as well as soil for the okra planter (more to be added later this week). And some extra cages trying to keep the squirrels out.

Shout-out to the Igloo Ice Cube 60qt cooler on wheels, the real MVP. It helps me haul soil, is an acceptable cooler, and makes a great moveable table (indoors or out) when cleaned up.

Lol. Lmao. That website that said they were a match must have lighting with terrible CRI.

Going to try Bella White White next as a substitute for Kona White. Or does the Fediverse have a better Bella solid white match?

Or if it doesn't matter quite as much let me know. I'll work on my non-white blocks for now. πŸ˜‚

Wow it’s almost e clirty
Anyway! Four more scrappy 6β€œ pineapple blocks! The fabric came in for my next project so I'll be prepping that for cutting next. #quilting #effikaScrapPineapple

Reassembled with my watch band tools, but for how long? May need a new one if this happens again.

Ugh. My old Singer HD4432 would have the ankle screw vibrate loose, which lead to the whole shebang falling off while sewing, but at least that was just a screw I had to re-tighten every now and then. #sewing #quilting

πŸ˜‘ That bar is not supposed to do that. My Janome Accufeed Flex foot made some funny noises and fell apart when I took it off to investigate #sewing #quilting
