Curious about when you started on Bluesky? I was because I have not missed one single day of posting. Someone made this easy to use tracker. Make sure to start with @ and end with .bsky.social.

Love this William Morris-like fauna and flora needlepoint/cross stitch pattern. Use it all, or just parts of it (like Robin L. Berry of Bayrose.org did.) #crossstitch #pattern #needlepoint #williammorris #animal #fauna #needlearts #fiberarts #artistic #art #pillow #floral #flora #timeless #classic

For inspiration only, it's sold out. I think I'd like a chicken and Fair Isle scarf for next winter. I'll have to work on that! 🐓 #chicken #knit #knitsky #scarf #purse #fairisle #colorknitting #funny #clever

What a charming cottage and garden. I'm quite sure I could live there as snug as a bug. 🐞 #cottage #cottagegarden #thatchedroof #strawtop #english #englishgarden #englishcottage #rose #meadow #antique #vintage #sweet #romantic

Today's crop of strawberries straight off the vine, no photo enhancement. They are scrumptious. 😀🍓🍓🍓 #garden #gardening #strawberries #strawberry #fruit #summer #summerfruit #mygarden #yummy #goodforyou #eatwell #crop #raisedbed #red

Here's a little movie my iPhone made for me of my garden flowers. I chose the French music. Isn't this fun? #garden #gardening #french #frenchmusic #flowers #mygarden #PNW #PNWgarden #floral #cottagegarden #woodlandgarden #Oregongarden #bluesky #bloomsky #flowersky #sweet #englishgarden

I really like this vest. It looks like all the edges are double knit. It's not a pattern, but a finished garment, here: lucas-grace.com/products/sta... I'd rather play around with the idea of it, & knit my own. 🧶 #knit #knitsky #knitvest #vest #doubleknit #fiberarts #alpaca #wool #cotton #clothing

If I ever have a potting shed, I'd like it to feel like this. Not only to shelter delicate plants, but also a place to dine. So romantic. Living in a lovely, creative way doesn't have to cost much. We just need to be artistic and clever..........and determined. #artistic #pottingshed #lovelylife

Now that the weather is nice, remember to picnic outside. It doesn't cost a thing, & it feels like a vacation. I love a checked picnic blanket & baskets to transport food makes the experience artful. #picnic #food #alfrescodining #dining #gardenparty #outdoor #outdooreating #lunch #party #friends
