That’s right

Before and in progress, going to get new crown molding and baseboards because idk what the last owners did to them but it’s pretty ugly. Also never use semi gloss paint on walls its the fucking devil. Why did the former owners do that!!

Yesterday at work some of our storm windows came crashing off the building. Today we have society for creative anachronism people walking around

Its so satisfying to finally figure out some weird issue/renovation choice from a former owner in an old house until you remember you still have to fix it but do it properly this time

Still haven’t painted the trim because i’m thinking i need to remove it and strip the layers of poorly applied paint from them, and floors will all be refinished later, but the walls and ceiling are done. On to another 4 bedrooms 😪

Threads is so depressing. i clicked on a post asking mainers who they think should run for susan collins seat and for governor and they’re listing celebrities associated with maine? Do they really not know of any sitting state level politicians like troy jackson

Your YouTube recommendations are getting awful? Thats too bad, mine are the same as always

Why did a local piercing studio name itself after and use the logo of an oil company??

We re-use packaging our merchandise shipped to us in, sometimes that means I’m handing a customer their buttons in a bag that says “racists magnet” or “poop on fascists magnet”

Its so hard being a huge hater for something local that few others also hate 😔

Toilet memoirs

Started a pair of colorwork mittens this week. I put off starting for a few days because I knew there were long float sections and I should attempt the ladderback jacquard method for catching floats but was nervous to try it. It seems like it worked out fine? Pattern is “songbird mittens”

I started a substack yesterday and then today a big pattern designer/yarn company announced they’re quitting instagram and moving to newsletter only. Im very influential obviously

Picked up the singer machine my bf bought on our anniversary. Yes i was too excited to move it past the kitchen

Finally took some photos of my hood/cowl combo while walking over to my parents house. The pattern is Arctic Chill, knit with Jaggerspun Berwick in Crimson colorway

Finished hand sewing the purse this weekend

I found a singer 15-91 in cabinet for $60 at the antique market, bf bought it as an anniversary gift and we’re picking it up Wednesday. I didnt take a photo of it but i did take photos of these things

I think this box has been sitting here for over a year

Hand sewing a purse this week

Took photos of my new yarn and someone insisted their tail get in the shot

Bat situation is resolved, cdc told me it was a low risk exposure because i was never actually in the same room as it (kept running into other rooms whenever it got into my current one) but we cant test the bat because my bf came home and killed it with a hammer. Sorry to any bat fans for that part

Theres a bat flying around in the house in broad daylight so now im researching the cost of rabies vaccination and having a panic attack

Bf: this person says we should raise the joist with a jack by half an inch a day Me: who the hell is saying this? Bf: ummm queefstation69

I was so zoned out while eating lunch at the counter that i completely missed “an incident” on the other side of the shop or downstairs in the studio that was serious enough that a cop called us to relay information??

Insulation guys are here and they are massively shitting on the house lmao. “Holy shit this is like heating a house with an 8 foot garage door open!” Yes thats why we hired you

Do you dare

I want to read to this dog but i’ll be at work
