instagramed: Put all my stitches on holders to try and see if my #ripplebralette is ready for joining. I don’t know, it’s so hard to tell!! I know I want it cross back because I always deal with any straps coming down my shoulders – I must just have more sloped shoulders 😀 But it sure is soft and I’m ready to wear it. - on 8/18.

instagramed: Another awesome pic I missed sharing the other day – my arm party! I ♥️ @bombdotcomgeekery bracelets: Black Widow, Captain America, and Winter Soldier. On Sebastian Stan’s birthday, Bucky was the new addition to my arm 🙂 it went nice with my dress and the anniversary makeup I wore that day. #fandomjewelry #avengers - on 8/17.

instagramed: This was dinner a few days ago with the first trial of my copper mugs. 🙂 #kristineskitchen - on 8/17.

instagramed: Its hard to motivate myself to put on my #afo braces just for a small amount of housework. [image description: a girl with heart covered Jammies, stripy non-handknit socks, and ankle foot orthotics in tennis shoes.] #disabledandcute I don’t relax well with them in and I can’t do a lot of things at a time right now to make it feel “worth it” to take the time. But I’m trying to do it anyhow, suck it up and lean into the annoyance to try and keep my feet from being so painful (it’s a different kind of pain). I have the 2nd load of laundry in, all my waiting clothes put away and a ball of yarn I needed wound. Taking them off to sit and cool down before I get up, put them back on, and make noodles for our dinner. 🙂 - on 8/16.

instagramed: Magical sky colors before bed tonight. #vancouverwa - on 8/14.

instagramed: Hello avenger friends on this poster. I want to rewatch all the movies, and now I have #avengersendgame too! Kismet: movie came out on my birthday, on dvd on my anniversary. 💜 - on 8/14.

instagramed: Yesterday was our actual anniversary (E took 2 days off for our #19yearsStaycation ) and we had mexican food on our outing. I don’t think I’ve tried the tamales here before and it was good, with a chile rellano. Yum. - on 8/14.

instagramed: Last night, I finally hit the #veronicamars Kickstarter movie in my first watch of it all. These two 🙂 #nowwatching #tvknitting I’m onto the straps of my #ripplebralette 🙂 - on 8/13.

instagramed: E made banana cake with my favorite caramel frosting 🙂 #19yearsStaycation #cakemixdoctor - on 8/11.

instagramed: Viticulture with our most recent expansion of different visitor cards 🙂 #boardgamegeek #fiberanddice I win, but only just barely when I didn’t think I’d be making enough points to end that turn! It’s been a long time (months, #guthstorm) since I’ve devoted energy to play a real game. 💜 #19yearsStaycation - on 8/11.

instagramed: In theory, this volunteer squash plant is on our property, watered by our sprinklers – and it has blossoms on it. What say you, Internets, can I pick them when they come up? The neighbors don’t have any plants out here where I can see them. I’m guessing Zucchini but it could be a squash?! 🙂 #thebeesarehome - on 8/10.

instagramed: On an errand with my mom – if I were a little girl, I’d sit on this rock and ask my mom to take my pic – we used to have a rock like that growing up in Michigan that was always for pics or pretend pics. I can hear a fountain behind here, it’s a lovely place to wait for a few mins. 🙂 - on 8/9.

instagramed: A little spinning near the stove while my balsamic reduces. #teamsasquatch #kristineskitchen - on 8/6.

instagramed: Last night, I could see the peachy colors reflecting on windows from my bed and had to get up and step outside. The moon was so pretty in the clear sky 🙂 - on 8/6.

instagramed: A little spinning with my brand new super snazzy bracelet from @colorful_zee !!! I love it, it makes me think of bubble gum and cotton candy. 🙂 #fancifulchatter #teamsasquatch - on 8/4.

instagramed: I’ve cast on a #ripplebralette – i decided I wanted to knit with cashmere for this project!! I found this wonderful @sunvalleyfibers yarn in my stash (#zk2015 maybe) and even dug the matching @kitchencountercrafter bag out of a packing box! I may not get to wear my handknits as often when I’m not leaving the house, but this, as a inside layer, like what I’d wear as a jammie top… sounds like the perfect knit! #disabledknitter - on 8/3.

instagramed: Sometimes when I’ve refilled my water cup, I just stand i my window (it’s a high window) and look out over my front space for a bit, sipping and thinking. Today’s thoughts are of wondering which of the delayed meal ideas I even have the energy to try today. It’s a Friday, E often comes home not so hungry because they have things at work, and he goes to game anyhow. I have all the ingredients for quiche and pizza, neither of which are super easy. And the decision? The ingredients will wait till tomorrow, and I’ll settle in to keep resting amidst cramps. I have some things to do on my laptop in bed and swatched for a new knitting project I can’t wait to start. Leftover food will suffice 🙂 #wycwyc 🙂 - on 8/2.

instagramed: Getting ready for tonight’s #DemDebate but like the person with disabilities #cripthevote I am, I’ve set up in bed instead of my desk where I sat last night. I’m getting over a particularly violent migraine and so this has been my spot today, with low light and my fan on me. #fibrospoonie I’ve got caffeine and my tabs open in twitter and looking forward to learning more about the candidates tonight. - on 7/31.

instagramed: The awesome Laura of @bombdotcomgeekery is having a big sale! Her earlier post also talks about a golden ticket 🎫 giveaway!!

instagramed: Logan from Veronica Mars (Jason Dohring) with Logan from Gilmore Girls (Matt Czuchry)! #teamlogan 😉 #VeronicaMars 3×4. - on 7/29.

instagramed: I’m glad it’s the end of the day and I can take my braces off. #disabledandcute I had a busy day doing things around the house and having a pest prevention person come – which meant some cleaning had to happen too. I’m supposed to wear these all the time, but I get lazy when I am just doing a little bit at a time. Today, I definitely needed the support and I’m gonna keep trying to motivate myself to put them on and off with more consistency than my house shoes that don’t support the same way. I don’t currently use my wheelchair Esme in the house, so this is what I’ve got to protect my failing tendons! #posteriortibialtendondysfunction #disability #wycwyc - on 7/29.

instagramed: I cooked my first chicken on the grill. I used to do some on the George Foreman grill, but I was never overly fond of it or the mess I made. Now that I’m getting better at the grill, I decided to try again. (I’m a touch squeamish about raw meat, and my anxiety gets high about cross contamination and not getting it cooked enough – I bought a fast read digital thermometer and that helped me feel more sure on the cooking front). so I have to really want something like this to do it. This turned out great – marinated in olive oil, balsamic, brown sugar, spices and herbs. E did his own baked tofu. And then today, we did up an instapot of coconut line rice and sliced some zucchinis to fry up. Delicious meal. #kristineskitchen #kristinesporch - on 7/29.

instagramed: This is where I ended my spinning outside yesterday, I think that’s the official end of #tourdefleece . I finished 3 of the 8 strips of this 4oz braid of Montana Targhee from @huckleberryknits I started in on the 4th nest before i put it down. Spinning on my smallest spindle, from @akerworks . I haven’t yet decided if it will be a 2ply or what. I’m adding a lot of twist because that’s how I roll! #teamsasquatch #spinnersofinstagram - on 7/29.

instagramed: Took a little time to sit on the couch before bed and started the 3rd bump of my fiber. I’m trying to wind it on a little neater on this spindle so the bottom doesn’t twist around funny by the end. #tourdefleece #teamsasquatch Plus the episode of Veronica Mars with Joss Whedon guest starred. #cmonnowsugar - on 7/24.

instagramed: post migraine, this is my comfort food. thank you E for coming home and making it for me. not an awful awful one, but it took a better part of the day to feel ok. it’s gone now, just the hangover and babble that tends to come out when i’m at this stage! #kristineskitchen - on 7/24.

instagramed: I was up in the middle of the night and happened to notice the sun just just starting to come up. Isn’t it beautiful, even in just this small piece of the sky? 🙂 - on 7/24.

instagramed: Last nights dinner, and today’s leftover were foil packet potatoes cooked on the grill! They turned out delicious. Fresh herbs, too! With fresh watermelon and rolls. #kristineskitchen #kristinesporch - on 7/23.

instagramed: I wound up the last 3 balls to make them the same. This is the goodie bag yarn from #zk2019 that @weesheepknits and @kelbyquin and I divided up into 3rds to make a Daisy Lady top. I was going through the pattern today and realized I wanted to cast on provisionally to work up from the upper portion of the body up to the shoulders and THEN go back and do the body as long as I can and with more use of the colors if I can. Because why just make it easy for myself and follow a pattern? 😉 I’m really excited about the finished object here, though, so it’ll be good to do it the best possible way! #projectsweaterchest - on 7/23.

instagramed: Some more knitting on the edge of my Nuvem and spinning #tourdefleece #teamsasquatch while we watched the 3 most recent #agentsofshield episodes. - on 7/21.

instagramed: my mom sent me this pretty pic of her @rippleypotter (thanks Ella!) bud vase in action. it made it home age nestled in yarn in my suitcase. fun fact, she had daisies in her wedding and so i did too 🙂 - on 7/21.
