instagramed: Corn and pepper flatbread with rotisserie chicken, fresh mozzarella, and fresh herbs, topped with a balsamic reduction. Yum. #kristineskitchen - on 5/21.

instagramed: Kristine kristine quite contrary, how does your garden grow? Okay, it’s drizzled a little, so it only needed a touch of water but I can’t help come out here and see how it’s going. 🙂 everything is looking so good! #kristineskitchen - on 5/21.

instagramed: Knit in bed with #theresident for a while this evening, working on catching up with #conic 🙂 my current only real in process project is my Nuvem and I’m just not knitting as much as normal… but I am glad for such an awesome project when I am feeling it. #teamboaty - on 5/18.

instagramed: Lettin’ in a little sunshine, trying to motivate myself to make a meal plan for next week. It doesn’t help I’m still worn out from being sick (cough, lost voice). Which also didn’t magically make my shelves clear of soda cans and other messes around my bed. Heh. I’ll get there. But for now, the desire for sunlight is a good sign of recovery 🙂 - on 5/18.

instagramed: Last night’s salad had not only basil from my “garden”, but mint too. What a cool way to make it taste fresher! Plus dried blueberries and feta. #kristineskitchen - on 5/16.

instagramed: What Makes a Hero 📚 by Pamela Bobowicz is open to the Peggy page. A special gift from my Rina 🙂 #agentcarter #marvel - on 5/15.

instagramed: Several of the neighbors are getting concrete poured to expand their driveways this morning. Will this improve the situation of people parking on the sidewalk? We shall see!! - on 5/15.

instagramed: One of my #bdayextravaganza purchases was this cute little trash can that I can move up on my desk while I’m working on my #happyplanner. 🙂 (played with colors on this pic from #acolorstory for the first time, just for fun!) - on 5/14.

instagramed: My parents took me (and Esme) on an outing to the nursery! I’m going to try my hand at some flowers and herbs, now that I have some partial sun in the back. Wait till you see the flower box my dad is setting me up with! - on 5/8.

instagramed: Our sprinklers work! E had to unbury some of the heads and then once we tested it, we found more we didn’t see at first 😀 #thebeesarehome - on 5/7.

instagramed: I cleared enough of the couch that I can see my “Pile of embarrassing knits”. A few things are even in the Studio, too. The sweater was close to being done but I wanted a fair isle band at the bottom and with all the migraines, I haven’t designed it yet to coordinate with the neck. The pink handspun in the middle is a cowl, but I don’t think it will block out enough. The thick yarn in jewel tones in the middle is also a cowl, which again doesn’t seem like it will block enough to keep it from rolling. I loved knitting both of these but would like them to be wearable. I brought the socks on the right with me on my CA trip to rip, they just are too snug with the cables. And the unicorn bag on the left has the long brioche cowl that just needs Kitchenering in pattern, and I have a magazine somewhere to help me with that. There is a tunic dress in the other room that was so unflattering that I need to rip the top of it and reknit, while keeping the lace. And a cowl that I got too carried away with increases and it ruffles really weird so it needs to undo the cast on and rip back. And these are all from the last 9 months. :sigh: it’s no wonder I feel like I have NO knitting mojo. I made poor choices along the way of these. I know they are all yarn or halfway usable and I can enjoy them at some point but I look at the pile and feel shamed. I like to think I’m a good knitter! But I’m going to also admit that the last 9 months have been one segment of bed rest after another. And I did make 2 or three things in the meantime. Nowhere near my norm, guys. #knittingwhiledisabled - on 4/29.

instagramed: A tower of birthday funkos from E #funkopop ! I like endgame CaptainMarvel a lot, arms out for action. And #intothespiderverse Spider-Gwen is adorable. Carol may get to sit somewhere else – I didn’t have any dupe characters till now. #superhero girls for the win! - on 4/29.

instagramed: Birthday flowers from E 🙂 so bright and colorful, and they look good here on my cookbook shelf! #bdayweek - on 4/28.

instagramed: Happy birthday cake 🎂 day to me 🙂 this is a #cakemagic idea, with a butter cake, a spiced syrup, and a malted milk/speculous buttercream. I followed in a friend’s example and made extra spiced simple syrup and put it in my drink for sipping in bed with videos, something akin to a rumchata cinnamon roll drink (subbed xo cafe patron for the kahlua). Cheers! #bdayweek #kristineskitchen - on 4/27.

instagramed: Bday lunch was chicken strips at claim jumpers and dinner was a split order of Mac and cheese with a peach Bellini and choc lava torte. Fun food choices for sure! #bdayextravganza - on 4/26.

instagramed: Ready and excited and all Avenger-ed up! #avengersendgame full collection of @bombdotcomgeekery jewelry – Cap, Widow, and Hawkeye bracelets, Original 6 tattoo necklace, and not shown SHIELD earrings (one old logo, one new). And my SSR badge in honor of Peggy. So excited (and a little nervous, but I have tissues)! #bdayextravaganza - on 4/26.

instagramed: Galaxy eyes today, Avengers in space made it seem like the right choice?! Even cooler in real life. #avengersendgame #bdayextravaganza #fancifulchatter - on 4/26.

instagramed: Started #bdayextravaganza with the good stuff. @drunkelephant #fancifulchatter - on 4/26.

instagramed: Compliments to the chef. Oh, that’s me! I did a balsamic blueberry reduction and crepes and put lemon curd and frosting drizzle inside. Wow! #kristineskitchen #birthdayweek - on 4/25.

instagramed: Birthday cake popcorn! The marshmallows kinda sank, but it’s delicious 🙂 #kristineskitchen #birthdayweek - on 4/25.

instagramed: Last night’s birthday spaghetti from @oldspaghettifactory 🙂 it was a fun spot for a date night and I got my entree free because I signed up for their list. I got my normal, comfort order, because that’s how I roll on my #birthdayweek 😀 🍝 - on 4/25.

instagramed: Look at that sky! Pretty time to be outside. 🙂 - on 4/24.

instagramed: Date night! Finally tried out my falsies I meant to wear with @emilianbucks – they are less obvious than I thought they would be. Tried a new #stilaglitterandglow mermaid shade and lip topper (under Colourpop Lux in Scorpio Moon) #fancifulchatter And a variety of lularoe mashed together with my Liesl cardi (I looked in my project page to see what I called it – stripes of March – and found a pic of it with Emil’s littlest m 🙂 fun memories of their 2016 visit. I love this shape, and it’s raised a touch in the back because of how it biases, which is even better for wheelchairing! #disabledandcute - on 4/24.

instagramed: Doing #birthdayweek nails. @polishmesilly2 Dreamer. Picked this because it reminds me of Thor lightening colors. I’ve got @bombdotcomgeekery jewelry set out to wear Friday and have 3 of the O6 cast represented, plus general avenger/shield stuff. But no Thor or Bruce directly represented. So this will make me happy. #avengersendgame - on 4/24.

instagramed: My banana has Goose the Cat on it! #captainmarvel - on 4/24.

instagramed: The other day, I did this simple makeup look, and wished I had taken a closer look at my eyes. I had a total peachy eye thing going on, and it was such an easy little thing. The colourpop lux lip color is Moody Bloom from the spring collection. I did try my colourpop foundation again and it really is too light, I had to warm it all up with things on top and that took more of the time than I wanted. I wonder if this product has changed formulas since I bought it if I were to try again at a new shade. #colourpopme #fancifulchatter - on 4/20.
