I know on Spotify, an artist gets a notification if their songs are put on a playlist, does AppleMusic also do this? If so I hope any of the protest song artists I added to my “Fucking 2025” playlist get the vibes I’m going for with it.

Having a toddler is a great chance to practice switching pronouns. Pink and red bunny stuffy, last week was a boy, this week is a girl. And Little Bit gets VERY upset if you use the wrong pronouns for bunny. #momlife #pronounsareimportant

Little Bit helped me with the decorations this morning on the king cake! She doesn’t really know how shakers work and mostly just dumped. I asked her what she wanted for breakfast and she just coyly looked at the cake, and I had to break the news that that wasn’t breakfast but to share with family!

I decided Buy Nothing Day was also “do the fun projects at home” day! I made a King Cake to share with family tomorrow (it’ll get frosting and sprinkles tomorrow). Also Sous Vide Limoncello that is destined to be used in lemon tiramisu! #buynothingday #makefunthingsday #homemadeisbetter

I saw a “hack” online to use the instant pot yogurt setting to proof bread. We keep our house cooler that ideal for rising during the winter so I’m trying it out today on my brioche for king cake! #homebaking #kingcake #brioche #instantpothack

Spend nothing day off to a decent start, packed lunch for little bit and husband. Made coffee for the commute trip for husband. Bonus points because I dressed little bit in almost all hand me downs? #spendnothingday #economicpower #handmedownsaregreat

I’m extremely proud of this! Ich lerne seit tausend Tag Deutsch.

Two weeks ago I found Little Bit’s beloved stick unicorn in the kitchen. Broken. Now we are trying to be more aware of our purchases, and not just buy new if something is repairable.

A new cooking conversation for today that I didn’t think I would need. 1 fluffy Italian loaf from the grocery store ($0.99 on sale) = approximately 3/4 a quart jar of bread crumbs. We ended up with a spare loaf, cut it in half to let it stale for 24 hours, then pulsed in the food processor.

My accomplishments this week: 1. First sewing lesson for my 10 year old nephew 2. Sewed 3 other pairs of PJ pants for the rest of the niblings 3. Invited friends over and made cassoulet 4. Scrubbed 10 years of hard water residue off of our shower door #sewinglessons

The first nice weekend day in months means the park is bursting with families out to play! ☀️🛝

Call it a hedge against inflation/economic collapse, Call it supporting my local university’s ag department. Either way, we went in with the in-laws for a side of beef. Not pictured, 150 lbs of ground beef, two briskets, and a few packs of stew bones. #sideofbeef

Snow day morning discovery win. My tea pot fits on mug warmer!

It’s disappointing when you go to contact your state senator about opposing a bill (SB13 in Texas) only to discover he is in fact a sponsor of said bill. I still emailed him as a constituent and said that I oppose it.

My 3 1/2 year old niece was asking about dressmaking, so I brought stash fabric over to let her design her own! She had 3 choices of skirt, and 6 sleeve choices. She went with a Frozen 2 fabric with circle skirt and flutter sleeves. #sewingsky #designedbya3yearold #fabricstashproject

My husband got me the Lego Animal Crossing Able Sister Store and it comes with a tiny Lego sewing machine! #lego #sewingsky #animalcrossing

Cold days = warm beans. When @mithradatesvi.bsky.social said that daycare was closing early and he and the Little Bit were heading home I decided to put a pot of beans on the go. @ranchogordo.bsky.social cranberry beans, simmered with carrots, celery, and leek. #beansky

Joann is officially closing more than 500 locations of their around 850. #sewingsky #joannbankurptcy The court filing is linked below if you want to see if yours is on the list: www.scribd.com/document/827...

We keep getting invited to football watching parties. And I keep deciding at the last possible minute that Little Bit needs a dress to show support of our team. Here is her dress for tonight! #sewingsky #bestdressed #gochiefs

Well the world may be shit, and I don’t know what the next two weeks will look like for the American manufacturing company I work for, but at least I can make bread. #breadsky #flourwatersaltyeast

Mostly finished project! Little Bit designed this since chose all 3 fabrics for the dress and the sleeve length and the skirt style. I’m trying to decide if it’s going to get a patch pocket or not. She still struggles to find inset pockets so I didn’t add them. #sewsky #designedbya3yearold

Lunchtime sewing: I got the bodice and sleeves cut for Little Bit’s new dress. And stitched most of it together. I need to pick the skirt material. She picked the two tier gathered skirt, so I also need to decide if it will be one color or two.

Making progress on organizing my sewing room. Now I need to organize this mess to figure out what projects I can make next!
