Beautiful collection! I love calatheas and have a bunch as well. The semi hydro setup is also smart since they do love their moisture.

The unfortunate part about having them though is that spider mites loooove them too and it’s a battle getting them under control sometimes.

You can do something like this cable washcloth! There are a bunch of similar patterns of various cable sizes.

That’s adorable! You did a great job with it and especially impressive this is one of your first projects!

Yeah my Pilea constantly did this and other more wacky curling. I moved it further away from the sun so it got indirect light and it liked that better.

As an alternative Kobo offers price matching and carries almost all of the same books minus some indie exclusives (which is a huge shame, there are some good indie book series I guess I won’t be finishing)

Mods can be an option but some are harder than others to use. I do find that a lot of mainstream games have a pretty good range of difficulties these days (including story mode etc), but definitely not all games.

This sounded great until the part where you can only read the ebooks using their app and you can’t transfer to kobo/kindle. That is a dealbreaker for me unfortunately.

They look like a sort of mealy bug to me. Spray isopropyl alcohol on them and if they turn red then definitely mealy bugs.

Get a cotton swab, spray it all down with alcohol and wipe them away and that should clear them up! Luckily they are pretty large and easy to see (at least more than other pests).

Honestly it was really handy to have a pen and paper around for Elden Ring for me. There was just so much I wanted to keep track of so that I could come back or to make connections. But it’s also a very acquired taste kind of game to go through!

I love Mapo! He’s always super thorough with his playthroughs and finds so many hidden things it’s impressive.

I also recommend ChristopherOdd as well for more strategy based games.

It’s been over a year now since I’ve read it, so I don’t remember a lot of the details, but I did quite like it overall. There were some parts that I thought were a bit overdone, I think it’s always a fine line with horror and people have different thresholds as well, but overall I enjoyed the weird creepy things that kept piling up by the end.

I read a lot of horror! Here are some of my recent faves:

  • Horror Movie by Paul Tremblay
  • I Was a Teenage Slasher by Stephen Graham Jones
  • Night of the Mannequins by Stephen Graham Jones
  • The Luminous Dead by Caitlin Starling
  • Ghost Eaters by Clay McLeod Chapman
 

I switched over to the app last night and noticed that my subscription list is empty. The Home screen shows my subscription posts correctly but the actual list of them is never populated even after force closing the app and reopening.

 

I’m making some gifts for the holidays and decided to try lino printing. I drew and carved this stamp out as a first test run and I really love the results. Going to be making some more real soon!

 

They were quite large too! Really pretty set.

 

I love it so much!

 

I made a lot of pots for my plants, and this is one of the few that I kept hole-free. I love the color combination on it!

 

The smell of the roasted garlic was sooo good.

 

Made two of these the other day and I love how the garlic came through! Super good.

I used this recipe: Crusty Roasted Garlic and Rosemary Bread

I have a lot of pictures of baked good so I’m just going to start posting them in here. Starting with challah I made a while back. Plain, white and black sesame seeds.
