kadyellebee - knitting designs/patterns by kristine beeson

instagramed: I put cool enamel pins on my jacket so I went one step further and got an awesome patch to sew on too. Decided my trip was the right time to unveil all this awesomeness, if a light jacket is ever needed 🙂 #geekygirl #kdlbadventure - on 6/15.

instagramed: Having fun picking things from my makeup desk that will join me on my #kdlbadventure I feel like having options is usually a nice thing, and makeup is small right? Too much lipstick? I did have someone who wanted to see some lipstick techniques at zk (winks at @straw.emily because I can use that as an excuse even if we don’t pull it out and play!) my makeup fun is part of who I am 🙂 #fancifulchatter - on 6/15.

instagramed: (From bed) this room is so dim, how will I ever see to get anything done. *narrator* (all she needed was to open some curtains.) Ahh, how I can the laundry all over the floor. Thanks narrator, I better wash that. 😛 - on 6/15.

instagramed: French braid, with a flourish, on the top! (Apologies to Arrow 5×20 for borrowing dialog 😛 it just comes out!) - on 6/14.

instagramed: I found a heart in last night’s strawberry shortcake at Sweet Tomatoes @souplantation 🙂 - on 6/13.

instagramed: I thought, ok, I’ll make lego kristine and her Esme a little enclosure so she’s less likely to fall out of my bag or get left behind. I pulled out the bag of roller coaster pieces because they were up here. I decided it had to be sturdy enough she wouldn’t just roll out it, duh, so that meant certain structural requirements. And now I’ve built this throne of an enclosure around her. It’s possibly too big now to put in my carry on. LOL! So I hover back to the idea of putting her loose back in my charger bag 😀 thoughts on my silliness?!!! also, she’s still cosplaying Wonder Woman, but she might change clothes to something else for her adventure with me. Because you never know when a less than easy situation could feel less scary when I take a pic of Lego kristine doing it first. 🙂 #legofriends #kdlbadventure - on 6/13.

instagramed: I love my library 🙂 @van_library is such a happy place to be. I’m knitting on my Crockern Tor shawl waiting for E to get here from his bus for date night. #zk2018teamlol #zk2018team😂 (even though it wasn’t done it time to count!) - on 6/12.

instagramed: This is the *perfect* sticker for a rest day on a super busy week “you can do anything but you can not do anything”. Worked on getting my planner set for my trip for a few weeks, with my favorite dirty chai at my favorite coffee shop @blackrock_broadway 🙂 I will make progress tomorrow on my rest day but I will also remember not to try to be a super woman! #wycwyc - on 6/12.

instagramed: After last week’s “I forgot my knitting at home for a whole Tuesday out” fiasco, you better believe I was checking and triple checking my bag for it today!! Bonus Esme on the bus 🚎 pic, she’s all secure and safe for her ride downtown. - on 6/12.

instagramed: Roasted potatoes and poblano, mango, and chicken topped with cotija hand tacos. Yum. Plus instant pot Spanish rice. #kristineskitchen Eric did the shopping, and food prep for the week while I was in bed with a migraine, and then put things in today between work so we could have a late lunch together. Great stuff! - on 6/11.

instagramed: Liking my look today with #colourpopme colors on my eyes in Howlin’, Secrets, and Backseat on the upper lip and Fault Line below. @colourpopcosmetics Glass Slipper Blush and Unravelled Lux Lipstick. The only issue with this eye look is that it’s very light once I put my glasses on, and I probably could have down with a little heavier hand or a nice eyeliner to accentuate my lines 🙂 but I love how these colors go so nice with my outfit and jewelry so I’ll take it 🙂 #fancifulchatter - on 6/8.

instagramed: Waiting for an appt and this one is having a harder time relaxing, despite water fountains to listen to in the lobby and my knitting in my lap. I’m dressed up cute and with lovely soft sweet clothes. Formulating good and concise questions is hard, yo! (I’ve been working on that task for more than today though, it just comes down to now!) My knitting is coming along, I’m on the final section! But each row is taking longer than an ep of tv now, which is making me worry it may not finish to wear at zk. Or maybe it will finish there and I can wear it unblocked. And that’s fine! - on 6/8.

instagramed: I am most definitely channeling my inner Psylocke from X-Men today. I mostly know her from the movies but she’s been in a few comics I’ve read. She’s very purple and very badass. Like me and my purple hair and handknit tank. My glitter earrings came from @theburntpixels and help cap off the look 🙂 #marvel #marvelgirl #ladiesofmarvel #psylocke #geekygirl #fancifulchatter lips are #Colourpopme Lux Matte Maxed Out. - on 6/5.

instagramed: Yesterday’s amazing spread out on by E – he made roasted veggies with lime and parm and mashed potatoes. I topped mine with a chicken patty and we grabbed store bought cornbread for the side. So yummy! #kristineskitchen (but not me cooking!) - on 6/5.

instagramed: Race for the Galaxy #boardgamegeek we did that thing where we attempted to play quick in the hour before E left and then I kept not getting good cards and so I kept having to do things to get cards and then we had to wrap up quick so the end pic isn’t a normal pretty spread, it’s the post-counting, after E left for his “real” gaming event. And I pulled out my sock but I never actually knit on it. It wasn’t my best game ever apparently, because even though I won, I felt rushed and didn’t get to enjoy it. Ahh well, you live and learn. #fiberanddice - on 6/3.

instagramed: I found some light colored, somewhat cooler feeling compression socks to wear under my braces (which is now a requirement) that I feel okay with wearing capris. That’s a success, I really wasn’t sure what non-legging summer clothes would look like, and this is an option at least! 🙂 also, I love that it’s warm enough to wear this bright tank top. It makes my hair color pop in the sun too! #fancifulchatter - on 6/3.

instagramed: Hello again, purple hair!!! The roots are navy’d but i didn’t get a great pic outside, so this will do for now 🙂 @hairbymakaylao got me all spiffed up to start the summer 💜💇🏻‍♀️🕶 - on 6/1.

instagramed: My #buffy shirt and before cut and color hair. It’s a season one quote 🙂 and the back has the buffy logo!!! It’s pretty freakin awesome, so says this uberfan. #whedonesque - on 6/1.

instagramed: Even though I’m excited about my shirt, I shouldn’t have left the house with the tag on. Oooops. All better now. #buffy #whedonesque #fancifulchatter - on 6/1.

instagramed: When fun straps cross over fun straps on my back it’s worth (trying) to take a pic 😀 hair thrown up high, a little purple on my eyes, and I’m straightening in prep of some helpers to straighten more. I have a list. I made more progress than I should have on my own list for a rest day, and my body will be extra sore tomorrow. But hey, I have helpers coming! #fibrospooniesneedhelp #prepretripprep #cantblockuntilicanseetable #littlemermaid #disneyboundingathome - on 5/30.

instagramed: The lavender at @van_library is blooming so beautifully. I love watching all the natural wonders all around the library come into season – it’s really great that when they designed this building, they allowed for room for things to grow – on the ground and up in the terrace has some growing things too. Down here on the other edge of this sidewalk, there are often bunnies! (It must be bunnies! #buffy reference 😁) hurrah for my favorite library, libraries are awesome! @fvrlibraries - on 5/29.

instagramed: Pink and sparkly is typical for my dirty chai cups 😉 and delicious! @blackrock_broadway - on 5/29.
