today in southeastern ohio, the air smells strongly of winter. there's finally a brisk chilling feeling that can only lead to more brisk and more chill. or perhaps a warm front as ohio is well known for its fickle forecasts.
i find myself looking forward to winter, i foresee it being a quiet and very introspective time for me, which is needed. i've been pretty anti-social these days, not just on the internet but in my real life too. more books and more yarn. i'm on the fifth harry potter and am just as excited about it as i was when i was 15 and it had just come out.

my current crochet project is this mustard yellow newsboy cap, which i'd love to share a picture of, however i've only finished round one at this moment. i'm sure you'd all love to see the small mustard yellow yarn doughnut i've completed, however i'll spare you until it's finished.

there is a thread of items I'm attempting to sell--my dress and necklace from sumptuous, and a digital camera. feel free to take a peek if you feel so inclined. . . . i have no prices listed, opting for the best offer.

french braids have been my friend as of late- - -

perhaps for the waves that they create- - -

and please check out this destruction

there was an excess and we couldn't stand it anymore. think i made out with only a few cuts on my feet somehow.
i'm not typically one for such waste/destruction
usually i bottle up actually- - -
but this night for some reason,
it seemed fit to destroy almost everything. we kept the best and the handmade
and shattered the rest. our cabinets were thankful ! the linoleum was not. . .

/madness

thank you very much to someone who gifted me a new teapot

it's used daily, and i, and my roommates, are all very careful with it. it's so lovely, i'll post a picture soon. . .

and also, thank you to the one who gave me Sally Fallon's Nourishing Traditions, it's on my kitchen table, right next to wild fermentation. i read it when i'm at the table, which is often : ] the first time i opened it, i turned to a page with a recipe for a brain omelette (not sure which animal's brains. . . ), and i knew this book and i were going to get along just perfectly. i've never eaten brains. . . or any other animal organs actually. . . .and the idea makes me feel strange admittedly. However, i appreciate and respect the idea, and would be willing to if it were necessary. it's just odd to think about. . .
would you like some butter with your brains ?
yeah weird.
but totally cool, should be a great read !

thank you both so much, wish i knew who you were or your address so i could send a thank you. . . .
i admire anonymous gift givers, and would like to think i'd gift anonymously. . . . but i also like when the receiver knows it was me

it's time for me to add more to the yellow doughnut

Staying in and crafting or just spending time to yourself or with those closest to you is a great way to spend most of the winter time. I find the comfort of a warm blanket and my apartment very inviting when the snow starts falling and the temperature drops.

I've always enjoyed seeing girls with hair like in your picture. Perhaps because from afar they look like dreadlocks, but you can still run your hands through it. Braids are fun, but I think freshly undone braids are better.

I find November to be pretty painful, with most of the disadvantages of winter, and none of what makes it nice. I can't say I'm looking forward to winter, but it's a change, and I think that's nice. Sometimes I do very well in winter - that whole introspective element, as you said.

Glad to know you are well.

Even though it's in the low 50s here, the wind feels "raw" like it's going to snow. But it's not actually supposed to get cold enough for snow. I don't mind winter when I can stay out of the cold. It's the snow and ice and having to clear them off the driveway and drive in them that I hate.
Love your hair, though you're always adorable.

Speaking in Seussian terms is not at all bad.
Rather appropriate - to win points with me - I admire the work so much !

I hope winter is warmish - with snow - that last a while ?
thanks for touching my caterpillers
thanks for touching me too

Hopefully it shall be much better than mine. :3

We have a little storm front moving in ourselves. Gonna bring rain since it doesn't snow in the valley.
You know with work kicking my ass I'm loving the idea of locking myself away for a few hours a night & enjoy myself. I wish I had a fireplace in my room

you smashed shit up in your bare feet? hardcore fun! the last time i destroyed my room i was blind drunk on tequila and stupidly crushing on a girl.

speaking of brains, american horror story is on right now and one of the main characters (she's pregnant) ate a whole bowl of brains. and liked it.
