    Because if you had the opportunity to start the New Year with Weisswurst Frühstück, why wouldn’t you? 🥨🍻

    Peggy Olson knows that the best way to set in a sleeve is to use a LOT of pins. (I know some of you can do it with zero. I’m not there yet.)

    Another finished #ArkieShirt! I went down a body size on this one, left off the pockets, and moved the break point and top button up an inch. I think it looks great, and hopefully it’s the first of many completed projects in 2025. 🪡🧵

    The Snook made our traditional lucky dish for New Year’s Day: black-eyed peas with kale and andouille. To continued prosperity!

    “Same procedure as last year?” “Same procedure as every year.” Guten Rutsch! 🎆

    The Snook had several egg whites left over from our tiramisu last week, and he was determined not to make a meringue with them. Instead today he baked a large financier, a French cake using almond flour and brown butter, and covered it with fresh cherries. Yum. ❤️

    I’m certainly getting my money’s worth out of this fabric, aren’t I? I had just enough left to cut out another Arkie Shirt. I’ve gone down a body size on this one, and I’ve raised the break point an inch. I’m really pleased with how it’s turning out! This is the third one of these I’ve sewn, and each one has gotten better.

    I also experimented with the tweezer method of turning out the collar on this one. It’s definitely sharper than the ones I’ve done in the past. #sewing

    The best time of the year: NYE means it’s time for this year’s Best of Bootie 2024! Banger after banger… 💃

    I managed my first bike ride in months today! Just a 15min pootle over to the library to return books, but given how badly I injured my hip when we moved house, I’m being very cautious. So far no pain… 🤞🚴‍♀️

    Thanks to my lovely former AWS DevRel colleague Laura Vieloma for catching up in Sydney today! It’s so nice when friends come to visit our beautiful city. ❤️ (She also taught me how to do a “Gen Z selfie” – last photo.) 😜🤳

    Kelly Gore Dunn Jon Dunbar Kyle Phillip Guess what I found? The production of Midsummer Night’s Dream from Central Park that Dana McAfee showed us… thirty(?!) years ago! Some of these lines are still embedded in my brain…

    We’re getting quite a bit of sun through our new glass back door at the moment. I’m looking for some sort of a shade we can use just for the mornings. Do those suction cup roller blinds for cars work very well? Not looking to drill or permanently install anything…

    TIMPANO!! We actually pulled it off. Check out my blog post for commentary… Happy Boxing Day, everyone! 🥁❤️ https://www.web-goddess.org/archive/26631

    Happy birthday, Cam! I send you positive vibes every time I use my Moominmamma tea towel you gifted me. 🙂

    As I was finishing my morning coffee, my eye caught movement on the fence outside the house. I thought at first it was the neighbour’s cat, who is engaged in a prolonged war with the Snook. (The cat wants to crap in our garden; Rodd would prefer it didn’t.) But it wasn’t a cat – it’s a ring-tailed possum! I know they’re around, but I’d never seen one this close to the house before. We kept an eye on him to make sure he wasn’t hurt, and eventually he climbed the Davidson’s plum up to the balcony above. Stay cool today, friend.

    Merry Christmas! We caught the ferry to Manly and had a picnic at Delwood Beach. The Snook wandered the rockpools, and I had a paddle at Manly Cove. We got an outdoor seat on the Opera House side on the return voyage. Glorious day in our beautiful city!

    I was productive today! I sewed a set of custom reversible quilted placemats for the dining room table, and I blogged how I did it. Don’t they look great?! (And thanks Susan Garberick for the flowers!)

    It’s surprisingly hard to find “Jingle Rock Bell” on YouTube, even using quotes, due to YouTube’s assumption that I don’t know what I’m looking for. I assure you, I do. It’s a holiday banger! 🔔🎄

    Happy Festivus! Knitting and beer with friends… ❤️

    I’m finally finishing off the scarf I started during the first lockdown. It encodes a small part of the genetic sequence of one of the Covid-19 strains! 🦠 🧶

    Rodd just pointed out that the wizard in Army of Darkness is MR PITT FROM SEINFELD and I AM LOSING MY MIND. 🤯🤯🤯

    My neighbour a few doors down plays the cello, and with the street quieter for the holidays we can hear it through the open front door. It’s exactly as lovely as you imagine. (She’s a good musician.)
