Time for Sewing with Kris! Let’s sew some sock monkeys. 🐵
Crafty Saturday – 4 sock monkeys, ready for final assembly! 🐵🐵🐵🐵
The Snook surprised me today with homemade Zimt-Schnecken (cinnamon rolls)!
Me: “What prompted this?!”
Him: “It was the King Arthur flour Recipe of the Year and it’s all over the Internet.” 😍

While I was sewing, the Snook surprised me with homemade “Zimt-Schnecken” (cinnamon rolls)! 🐌

I somehow missed that we’re now using “virtual fit technology” to create custom garments. This is so cool. Proper tailoring is incredibly difficult, and I would love to see this technology applied to help me sew my own pants that actually fit! https://t.co/J0vDzQvnP1

Happy birthday, Voitier!
(This is completely random. I was listening to “The Lolita Podcast” the other day, which has a couple episodes about the 1997 Adrian Lyne version of “Lolita.” And I have a distinct memory of watching that for a class at ND, and I think maybe you watched it with me? Was that right?? At any rate, it made me think of you and now it’s your birthday so how fun is that? Happy birthday!)
I caught the Snook smiling. Thinking it was because of his darling wife, I asked him why he was happy. “A funny video on the Internet,” he admitted.
And now I can’t get it out of my head! 😂

Any wool purchases made when you’re sick don’t count towards your stash. This is the law. ❤️🧶 https://t.co/xb4UD03RYS
@siegel I try to keep it in check, especially as I’m living overseas now. There’s just no point in accumulating a lot of stuff that will most likely eventually get shipped back to Australia!

20C = 68F. Warm enough to have our afternoon coffee on the terrace! ☀️☕️ https://t.co/7ZHtpO0dsc
Six months in Germany, and I still reflexively think “Bats!” whenever I see birds flying at dusk. 🦇
@darkosubotica How do you have room for all this stuff in your house??!!!
@jchyip My colleague @dtraub pointed out that in the German school system, 1 = best and 5 = worst. We expect this led to some of his German talks scoring lower than expected. So I’m not surprised to see it affecting product reviews too…

@nemshilov Only in Australia does average mean bad. In the US, average means pretty good! (That one confused me too.)
@mmastertheone Mid-90s I pretended not to like those groups but secretly did. Took me a few years to give up on trying to look cool to boys who weren’t worth it. 🙄

The Snook bought me a new mouse as an early birthday present. This sucker is 100% going to give me carpal tunnel, and I don’t even care. 🎮 #nes (Hat tip to @GunnarGrosch and @darkosubotica who have them too!) https://t.co/976iZMCnmS
@darkosubotica @GunnarGrosch So far biggest thing I’m missing from Magic Mouse is is horizontal scroll (especially in Tweetdeck)…
@GunnarGrosch @darkosubotica Clicking the buttons is deeply satisfying. If it was 20 years ago, it would come with a Windows desktop theme that turns your cursor into Mario and makes a gold coin sound every time you get an email.
@darkosubotica @GunnarGrosch WAIT, it *does* have horizontal scroll if I hit the up arrow! Genius.
@classicwebdog @GunnarGrosch @darkosubotica Literally just tried it, but it’s missing the “Start” button. 🙂

@mseckington This is amaaaaazing. 😍
@tfswebb Our older cat never, in 13 years, ever liked the younger one. We tried keeping apart, slow introductions, Feliway. She hated him until her dying day. She just wasn’t friendly to other cats.
