kadyellebee - knitting designs/patterns by kristine beeson

instagramed: Today called for some Jelly Much eyeshadow in Bungalow and LuxLips in Scorpio Moon. #colourpopme #fancifulchatter - on 11/15.

instagramed: admiring. my first really settled spot for just me. i got the vanity desk and drawers to be a way more cohesive collected spot for all of my makeup/skin care/body lotion/hair accessories. it would also make a great place to video from because of the natural light. this is a corner of my craft office room because there wasn’t a good spot for a vanity in the bedroom here. (it was previously just a small corner of the master closet in the condo, with inadequate shelving). i am quite pleased right now 🙂 #fancifulchatter #yarnings #vanity #makeupdesk #beautyat42 - on 11/14.

instagramed: I like some of the patterning in here, but it’s not flowing right. I love how even the fair isle looks, I worked hard on color dominance too. I love the colors. But making a sweater where i am not in love with the patterning is a sweater I might not wear as much. Why keep going when I can tell this? Getting it done for #nakniswemo isnot enough of a reason. I’m backing up to near the top of the tan and working it out again 🙂 #projectsweaterchest - on 11/11.

instagramed: A little mirror pic at @ikeausa – I was sick at the end of the week, but got to feeling better. So we did a lot of reconnaissance today, trying to figure out what would work for multiple spaces that needed better storage etc. this brioche cowl goes so great with my LLR Lynnae top. 🙂 #thebeesarehome - on 11/11.

instagramed: I had a nice setup for some time with friends online today. This stop-gap laptop doesn’t have its video camera plugged in, so I have to prop the iPad open further than its Smart Cover would normally stand to get a straight smart angle 😀 it’s up on a container of candy corn for height too 😀 the lighting in here is great, and that was nice. #thebeesarehome - on 11/8.

instagramed: I took extra time today to enjoy the coffee shop and the library, even though I could have headed home earlier. #selfcareftw I love taking selfies in this mirror, and must bring back my old hashtag #mypersonalbathroomatthelibrary – because way back then, I often felt like I was the only person using it. @van_library 😀 this is a Melanie Berg sweater I knit last year, and my pipers journey shawl from many years ago. Wearing star earrings from @leaaline that you can’t quite see in the pic, a little Hamilton-y- I did not throw away my shot… because I voted! ⭐️ #vote - on 11/6.

instagramed: My first #happyplanner spread post in a while. I played with teals and leaves for this fall week. I don’t have todo lists for the days, just taking it as it comes, but I’m happy to be back playing with stickers. 🙂 #happyplannergirl #plannerbabe #planahappylife - on 11/6.

instagramed: so many leaves 🍁 from the bus stop this morning 🙂 #vancouverwa - on 11/6.

instagramed: There is progress on my #nakniswemo sweater! I’ve been designing the fair isle as I go and I think I’m liking it! #strangebrewkal with SG-1 (and Sam’s dad) before bed 🙂 #projectsweaterchest - on 11/5.

instagramed: Wow, that sky takes my breath away! #vancouverwa #nofilter - on 11/5.

instagramed: my ballot went in the drop box yesterday! please #vote :)’#notthrowingawaymyvote #vancouverwa - on 11/5.

instagramed: E and I over the Columbia River yesterday, on the new section of the waterfront 🙂 didn’t my mom take a nice picture? The pier is an engineering feat, jutting out overtop of the water with no supports under it. Very cool! - on 11/4.

instagramed: One of these boxes 📦 has yarn I want to pull out for #nakniswemo – but when I made my database of contents, I didn’t know that I wouldn’t be able to unpack them right away. Since my 5×5 craft shelf didn’t make it, opening them seems like a giant mess until I get a new one. So from my database, I narrowed it down to 5, maybe 6 the worsted sweater quantities would be in. Wish me luck! I shall do my best to not make a worse mess. National Knit a Sweater month is happening! Just might take a few extra days since I haven’t swatched. - on 11/1.

instagramed: Salad with butternut squash, pomegranate seeds, persimmons, peppers, and chicken. Fall lovely dinner for Halloween! #thebeeskitchen #kristineskitchen - on 10/31.

instagramed: Am I grown up enough now that I can have a medicine drawer instead of just a Rubbermaid bin?! Yes! I think this will be a nice upgrade! #organizarama #thebeesarehome - on 10/31.

instagramed: While the one big tree is missing a lot of its leaves, the one behind it is super colorful now! I love watching the seasons from inside the library. I do think this year is more colorful than recent years. 🍁 @van_library - on 10/30.

instagramed: Hello life. @blackrock_broadway I’ve gotten where I enjoy this coffee shop so much that I even welcome the cacophony of voices when it’s full. I see that it means it is doing well. And the copper tables are a beautiful backdrop to whatever I’m doing. Today’s Mocha and oatmeal and bagel were a nice start to the day. Being grateful for how many hours of enjoyment I have had in this space! #gratitude - on 10/30.

instagramed: I baked, for the first time in the new house (with a gas oven, which is new to me!), and for the first time since maybe before June. Apple Crisp, so autumny and delicious 🙂 #kristineskitchen #thebeesarehome #thebeeskitchen - on 10/29.

instagramed: Blue sky peeking! #vancouverwa - on 10/29.

instagramed: I added a little fall color to my eyes today, a warm peach and red in the crease (mainly #colourpopme Soft Core and Stay Golden) with Paper Crane under and A Whole New Workd super shock on the lid. Belle Lux lips, also from the #disneycolourpop collection. Goes nice with my handspun crosswords wrap 🙂 #fancifulchatter - on 10/27.

instagramed: As I walked down the hallway, E’s nightlight of final fantasy vii characters shines at me. Goodnight, Cactuar 🌵. Made by @theburntpixels Etsy shop 🙂 - on 10/24.

instagramed: We finally got some cake to celebrate moving in. This one is so amazingly good! #traderjoes #thebeesarehome - on 10/24.
