Working on sewing up my fabric stash, learning watercolour, trying to bike more, figure out my next adventure, raise a few kids with my husband, trying to do my part for the environment and hopefully make less typos when posting. 🍁

#knitting while I wait for the game to start is on hold till I get back home to the glue.

Good news is I can now run 40 mins without stopping (almost 7 k) Bad news, I don’t have any energy to do anything else with my day after I run. Do we ever get to a point where we’re not exhausted after working out if you’re over 40?

#showmeyourknits purple edition. Socks I finished recently (but cast on in 2008 ish), my finished sweater that needs some final picks, and a few old gifts made a decade or so ago. #knitting #knittingsky

I also signed myself up for a 10 k race in August… Not regretting that decision yet, but I’m still finding “easy runs” are an oxymoron. Week 3 of training is done.

It is way too easy to just randomly order some yarn on the internet. I did use up 20% of my stash so I’m calling it OK to try out and support a local indie dyer @baarealisfibre.bsky.social So excited to get this! Probably shouldn’t have enjoyed some wine tonight though LOL. #knitting #knitsky

Wasn’t feeling great on #memademay Day 8. Ended up wearing: #Jalie2805 #JalieFlorence #lovenotionslegato Until I crawled back into bed around noon. #jaliepatterns #jalielife #lovenotionspatterns

I dislike the sense of obligation that comes with Mother’s Day. It doesn’t feel as real when you’re doing it to meet societal expectations.

Some quick visible mending on a bag I bought off a friend who was selling them as a fundraiser over 20 years ago. It’s not perfect but it’s nice to cover up the fraying and patch up the holes. It makes a good work lunch bag. #visiblemending #mending

My kitchen is currently under a “Do Not Disturb” order. There is a full-scale blocking intervention right in the heart of culinary operations. Damp wool takes precedence over dinner. Please direct your complaints to the delicate fibers currently splayed across every available surface. #knitting

#winterdoodlesweater is off the needles!! Time to block. #knitting #colorworkknitting #doodleknitdirectory #doodleknits #yokesweater #pacificknitco #knitsky #showyourknits

Oh he cares about it… cares about making sure that those he doesn’t see as desirable don’t get any benefits. Aka the poor and middle class.

I started planting my garden on Sunday and have forgotten to water it since. Don’t follow me for gardening tips. #gardening #keepingitreal

The worst part of having kids late? You’re hitting perimenopause just as they’re hitting puberty. It’s hormonal Hunger Games. #Perimenopause #PubertyProblems #HormoneHell #MidlifeMotherhood #motherhood

#memademay Day 5 reminding myself of childhood by wearing a sweatsuit to work from home. #jaliezoom #jalie3355 #jaliejessica #jaliecoco and #jaliebeatrice #jaliepatterns #lovenotion #sewing #memademay2025

#winterdoodlesweater is nearly complete! #knitting #doodleknitdirectory @pacificknitco.bsky.social I’m obsessed with your book and loving the sweater pattern!! #knitsky #wip

Me made May Day 4: #lovenotionstessa dress I wear as a nightgown (wearable muslin) #lovenotionsclassictee and #jaliezoom made cozy with #jalierachel #sewing #jaliepatterns #lovenotions #memademay #memademay2025

And it’s so much more enjoyable.

When you take videos of your #memademay outfits but don’t get around to editing and posting… maybe tomorrow I’ll get Days 4,5 and 6 done.

It’s feeling close now! It’s almost a full sweater! #winterdoodlesweater using #doodleknitdirectory to make a spring inspired stash busting sweater. #knitting #wip #knittingsky

One of those days that require different outfits for different things. patterns: #jaliecoco #jaliefrance #jalie3243 #lovenotionsclassictee #jaliebeatrice #memademay2025 day 3 with #jaliepatterns and #lovenotionspatterns #sewing #garmentsewing #sewingtok #memademay #memadeeveryday #sewingsky

And we often forget that raising minimum wage will raise everyone’s wage.

And I did manage to get dressed today as well. #memademay Day1 #jalieeleonore pants with #lovenotionsclassictee for top. #mademademay2025 #garmentsewing #jaliepatterns #lovenotionspatters #sewing #sewingsky

I did have intentions of going for a run… now I just have intentions to eat some chips and try better tomorrow. #lifeafter40 #adulting #tired
