That’s my girl, Gertie. #porchgoose #crochet  🧶

It’s her Earth Day birthday! Happy Day, Poppy! #earthday #three

This year we’re hiding crocheted #Easter #Eggs. Pattern credit to @acraftyconcept #crochet 🧶 “kids” are all 20+ 💜

Gertie is ready for Easter! 🧶 🐰 #crochet #porchgoose

My goose, Gertie, changed into her raincoat for the first day of spring. Thanks for the free crochet pattern 🧶, Snappy-Tots.

Entertaining myself with this balloon dog made with a free crochet pattern from ann.peach.creations. Fun! 🎈 🐕 🧶

Just went to the doctor and among other things, my obstructive sleep apnea is now officially gone, along with 65 pounds of me! #mounjaro #GLP-1

I know it’s too early for these little guys, but it’s what I felt like making today. 🧶 #crochet

This 🧶 baby will make his debut at Aldi later today! #crochet

Soon this fine fella will have a shopping bag in his belly, but for now, he’s just a cutie enjoying a lazy Sunday. #crochet 🧶

Hahaha…my desktop wallpaper knew what I needed to see today! #manatee

Today was definitely a day where I felt lucky to be on a med that doesn’t really allow me to eat my feelings. #GLP1 #WTF #seriously #mounjaro

Finished this shawl / cowl this weekend, and I love the colors. #crochet 🧶

Made a crochet snail market bag. The bag folds into the 🐌 shell! 🧶

Some neighbors of mine dress up this massive skeleton like it’s a concrete porch goose. 🪿 This costume is a little too close for comfort… #handmaids #ImNotCryingYou’reCrying #ugh

May we all be as unbothered as the dogs are today 💙 #dogsofbluesky

I joined the Century Club today for stretching with #Peloton For 2025, I’m trying some new #goals and this one is to actually take care of this hardworking body of mine #GLP1 #journey

My husband is a principal and he got to hold a sloth at school today and my job never lets me hold sloths and I am ANGRY about that. #sloth #lucky

My friend (and me) wearing the silly hats I made. #crochet 🧶

Maybe your concrete porch goose doesn’t need a cup of coffee, but apparently mine does? #crochet #Gertie 🧶

Three knit temperature scarves delivered to their owners. Love these three faces! 🧶

My concrete goose Gertie is ready for Valentine’s Day. 💕 🧶 #crochet

Sourdough Sunday #breadsky

Happy 2025 from the #rescuedogs. #dogsky #poppy #yogi

Happy New Year! Excited to start 2025 at fighting weight after a 60 pound loss with #GLP1 #Mounjaro and #Peloton. More energy, off several meds, and feeling like I shaved years off my age.

My youngest bought me some color changing lights so I can feel like I’m in the #peloton studio all year long. Let’s go, 2025. New year, new #goals.

Finished a temperature scarf for Normal, IL - 2024. Each knit row represents the high temp for that day, in 10 degree increments. Done! 🧶 🌡️

Mama, I would never put muddy prints on your Christmas rug on Christmas Eve! No way! #dogsofbluesky

Now that the kids are adults, Christmas is much calmer! I’m trying the snow globe cocktails for Christmas Eve. These just went in the freezer! #cocktail #snowglobe #holidayshenanigans

Crochet Christmas? ✅ 🌻 🦎 🍄 🐱 Just barely, but we made it! 🧶

This big girl reeeeally wants to help me crochet 🧶 Such a good helper! #dogsofbluesky

Caught the dogs being Christmassy. #dogsofbluesky #yogi #poppy

Well, I’ve got ONE petal on this sunflower pillow…maybe crochet Christmas were a reach?! 🌻 🧶

I’m going to the Peloton Studio in NYC (I’m from Chicago) and I’m so excited I might ACTUALLY burst. #Peloton has been a large part of my #GLP1 weight loss journey, and I can wait to celebrate a nearly 60 pound loss with people who I credit with helping me make some of those changes!

Freeze pop holders = crochet stocking stuffer for a friend’s kiddos 🧶

I’m going to miss this little Herman when he goes!

This is Herman. He’s a foster dude. He’s staying with me for the weekend and I do not want another dog, I do not want another dog, I do not want another dog… #dogsofbluesky

Yeah, some kind of Grinchy, Christmas-y, ear warmer-y, crochet kind of a thing? 🧶

This crochet lizard is a gift for my son who will be studying lizards this next semester. Ridiculous? Yes! 🧶

If #whamageddon is your thing, don’t take Ben’s Holiday Ride from earlier today. You’ve been warned, #peloton peeps! (Did get a high five from the man himself, though…)

I did my bear claws today, not because they’re fun or because I’m good at them, but because they help me meet my #goals. Thanks, Denis! #Mounjaro #Peloton #PZPack

We put our coats on…is it EVER going to be time for our walk?! #dogsofbluesktly

We’re taking #BlackFriday off, but we did pop into our local #thriftshop. This was a good find!

Now that Thanksgiving is behind us, Gertie is wearing her holiday finest! 🧶 crochet 🧶

Over the river and through the woods, working on November knitting for the 2024 temperature scarves!🧣 🧶

We put on our #Thanksgiving scarves to get the holiday started off right. 🧶 #crochet #dogsofbluesky

I want to make a “vintage” jello mold and I walked into the local thrift shop and found this beauty for $2.99. Big day! #resale #vintage #Thanksgiving

It’s good to rest and recharge before the onslaught of holiday demands and visitors. Poppy encourages you to slow down. #dogsofbluesky

We test drove a sourdough pumpkin parmesan grissini recipe tonight. Tasty! #breadsky

Don’t be mad. I decided not to serve turkey this Thanksgiving. I’m a little scared about it. 😬 It’s pomegranate braised short ribs and pineapple ham at my house. I’m afraid I’m going to miss it!
