Last Notes npub1z674e6ztne66luq0qmt3l9r8uck68zqnz6x6fzuwad46me0mjwfsfngz59 karo here is the last time I worked on this project. so long ago! #nevent1q…kv8x npub1z674e6ztne66luq0qmt3l9r8uck68zqnz6x6fzuwad46me0mjwfsfngz59 karo thank you for the blessings 🙏 3 under 2 is so much work but so worthwhile npub1z674e6ztne66luq0qmt3l9r8uck68zqnz6x6fzuwad46me0mjwfsfngz59 karo is that an oball toy? glad you're doing well ❤️ npub1z674e6ztne66luq0qmt3l9r8uck68zqnz6x6fzuwad46me0mjwfsfngz59 karo a late night update. I just got finished feeding one of the twins for their overnight feed. they're getting close to sleeping through the night. the world is too fun during daytime waking hours between rolling around and grabbing their feet to get all their needed calories in. They'll be starting solids soon and I hope that'll help too. In other news, taro was hospitalized for a week in January and had two hip surgeries. He had a very bad bacterial infection that took residence up in his hip joint so they had to open up his hip and flush it out. It got bad enough to affect the bone too. At his age, he is growing fast so once he's recovered from the surgery he shouldn't be affected whatsoever. He's been laid up for almost a month now but since being discharged from the hospital he's been making strides in recovery. So proud of my little dude. I can't wait for him to be running around with his busy toddler antics again. As for me, I switched from knitting to cross stitching. I pulled out a kit that I was working on before I had taro and picked up where I left off. The pattern is printed directly on the fabric so it's like color by number, but with stitching. a perfect blend of zoning out and repetitive work. I've been working on a bubble that's part of the background that's mostly shades of white. Boring and engaging which is just what I need at the end of the day after the three kiddos have gone to bed. It's been rough start to 2026 but this year is going to be filled with cuteness with a 2 year old and two rapidly growing twin babies. I'm excited. Hope everyone is doing well! Happy New Year! #momstr npub1z674e6ztne66luq0qmt3l9r8uck68zqnz6x6fzuwad46me0mjwfsfngz59 karo for me, I found they were mostly hormonal and I'd get them like clockwork with my cycle. Haven't had a bad one since I got pregnant with taro though so maybe the hormone stuff sorted itself out. glad you're feeling better! npub1z674e6ztne66luq0qmt3l9r8uck68zqnz6x6fzuwad46me0mjwfsfngz59 karo adorable!!!! npub1z674e6ztne66luq0qmt3l9r8uck68zqnz6x6fzuwad46me0mjwfsfngz59 karo I LOVE The Expanse. going from reading Expanse to Dune is a whiplash though cuz the writing style is different. npub1z674e6ztne66luq0qmt3l9r8uck68zqnz6x6fzuwad46me0mjwfsfngz59 karo taro is still learning how to distinguish between soup, curry, sauce and dip. he thinks it's all soup 😆 npub1z674e6ztne66luq0qmt3l9r8uck68zqnz6x6fzuwad46me0mjwfsfngz59 karo it's about time to read Dune again for me npub1z674e6ztne66luq0qmt3l9r8uck68zqnz6x6fzuwad46me0mjwfsfngz59 karo as much as there is space and also whenever there are sales 👀 npub1z674e6ztne66luq0qmt3l9r8uck68zqnz6x6fzuwad46me0mjwfsfngz59 karo I could probably get a lot of reading done if I did audiobooks cuz I spend so much time contact napping or getting them to be drowsy enough to sleep on their own. I could never get into audiobooks though. npub1z674e6ztne66luq0qmt3l9r8uck68zqnz6x6fzuwad46me0mjwfsfngz59 karo it can go up to letter but I'm just using it for 4x6 photos npub1z674e6ztne66luq0qmt3l9r8uck68zqnz6x6fzuwad46me0mjwfsfngz59 karo gorgeous!!! #nevent1q…hx9f npub1z674e6ztne66luq0qmt3l9r8uck68zqnz6x6fzuwad46me0mjwfsfngz59 karo I picked up a photo printer and laminator over the holidays. I'm definitely entering my capital M Mom era 😆 npub1z674e6ztne66luq0qmt3l9r8uck68zqnz6x6fzuwad46me0mjwfsfngz59 karo I can't help you build it but it sounds like I would be a candidate for testing it lol. npub1z674e6ztne66luq0qmt3l9r8uck68zqnz6x6fzuwad46me0mjwfsfngz59 karo ooo nice. the garter will be squishy 🥰 npub1z674e6ztne66luq0qmt3l9r8uck68zqnz6x6fzuwad46me0mjwfsfngz59 karo it's raining. every person in the house is sick with the cold. so miserable yet taro still finds the energy to run around the house cackling like a maniac 😆 npub1z674e6ztne66luq0qmt3l9r8uck68zqnz6x6fzuwad46me0mjwfsfngz59 karo yes they are! even if you just do the simplest pattern, they turn out amazing npub1z674e6ztne66luq0qmt3l9r8uck68zqnz6x6fzuwad46me0mjwfsfngz59 karo I read so much too. I really need to get back into it. npub1z674e6ztne66luq0qmt3l9r8uck68zqnz6x6fzuwad46me0mjwfsfngz59 karo I thought about getting taro rain boots but husband was like we live in the desert, are you sure? 1 week of rain later, I'm really reconsidering. npub1z674e6ztne66luq0qmt3l9r8uck68zqnz6x6fzuwad46me0mjwfsfngz59 karo I've never heard of meringue in a cup. gotta try it now. npub1z674e6ztne66luq0qmt3l9r8uck68zqnz6x6fzuwad46me0mjwfsfngz59 karo what're you making? 👀 npub1z674e6ztne66luq0qmt3l9r8uck68zqnz6x6fzuwad46me0mjwfsfngz59 karo I vividly remember my mom driving through huge puddles and watching splash from the tires. We were out in the rain a lot too. I'm having such a hard time remembering specific rainy day activities. I'm guessing lots of books and video games? I read so much as a kid. npub1z674e6ztne66luq0qmt3l9r8uck68zqnz6x6fzuwad46me0mjwfsfngz59 karo When my husband proposed a similar plan, I told him no way, I don't want to make it harder on me earlier than I need to. I'll have care for all three kids on my own when you're back to work no matter what. I've always been the build wings on the way off the cliff type person and he's the meticulous planner. I had some coffee and went to bed at 11:57 after a quick proxy countdown smooch with H. Ahh, parenthood. Happy New Year 🥳 npub1z674e6ztne66luq0qmt3l9r8uck68zqnz6x6fzuwad46me0mjwfsfngz59 karo congratulations and keep it up! npub1z674e6ztne66luq0qmt3l9r8uck68zqnz6x6fzuwad46me0mjwfsfngz59 karo it is raining lions and wolves over here. what rainy day activities did you enjoy from your youth? #asknostr npub1z674e6ztne66luq0qmt3l9r8uck68zqnz6x6fzuwad46me0mjwfsfngz59 karo dang. ccna is still a thing? npub1z674e6ztne66luq0qmt3l9r8uck68zqnz6x6fzuwad46me0mjwfsfngz59 karo why not hot fingering action? npub1z674e6ztne66luq0qmt3l9r8uck68zqnz6x6fzuwad46me0mjwfsfngz59 karo "taro seemed really hungry since it's so close to dinnertime. he kept asking for cookies so I gave him one." real solid logic there grandma 😑 npub1z674e6ztne66luq0qmt3l9r8uck68zqnz6x6fzuwad46me0mjwfsfngz59 karo remember the yarn that was too thick for mitts? I'm making a pair of spiral socks instead! they're gonna be so cozy 🥰 when I learned about this unique sock construction, I had to give it a try. it uses spiral ribbing to hug the heel and can be put on in any direction so it wears evenly. https://image.nostr.build/3508e4db8204afaa16e0908ad193f028e81b4dc34c73d2123bdb8e1f37bbc06e.jpg #yarnstr #knitting npub1z674e6ztne66luq0qmt3l9r8uck68zqnz6x6fzuwad46me0mjwfsfngz59 karo so sweet! thank you :) npub1z674e6ztne66luq0qmt3l9r8uck68zqnz6x6fzuwad46me0mjwfsfngz59 karo haven't decided on the exact model yet but a flat bed mid gauge machine with a ribber. npub1z674e6ztne66luq0qmt3l9r8uck68zqnz6x6fzuwad46me0mjwfsfngz59 karo it's kinda crazy to think that I'm 1 million sats away from my dream knitting machine. Selling my handmade socks and hats over the last few years have slowly been getting me there. maybe in the near future, I'll be able to get back to work. About 28 more pairs of socks! npub1z674e6ztne66luq0qmt3l9r8uck68zqnz6x6fzuwad46me0mjwfsfngz59 karo good luck 🍀 hope they all find wonderful homes ❤️ npub1z674e6ztne66luq0qmt3l9r8uck68zqnz6x6fzuwad46me0mjwfsfngz59 karo adorable! what're your plans for the pups? npub1z674e6ztne66luq0qmt3l9r8uck68zqnz6x6fzuwad46me0mjwfsfngz59 karo yes!!! chow mein and orange chicken please!!! npub1z674e6ztne66luq0qmt3l9r8uck68zqnz6x6fzuwad46me0mjwfsfngz59 karo get some calories in you! npub1z674e6ztne66luq0qmt3l9r8uck68zqnz6x6fzuwad46me0mjwfsfngz59 karo when under stress, some people eat and others don't eat. npub1z674e6ztne66luq0qmt3l9r8uck68zqnz6x6fzuwad46me0mjwfsfngz59 karo are you a stress starver? npub1z674e6ztne66luq0qmt3l9r8uck68zqnz6x6fzuwad46me0mjwfsfngz59 karo after I finished knitting this mitt, it felt all wrong. The heavier weight yarn isn't suitable and makes the mitt feel very clunky. I'll be unravelling and starting anew. Not sure what to make with this aran weight yarn. it isn't what I typically use. https://image.nostr.build/5b62edfa83762c8625807ef3a0cd5bb8ecc13f8f4b3dc32d477fd046ac4152db.jpg #knitting #yarnstr npub1z674e6ztne66luq0qmt3l9r8uck68zqnz6x6fzuwad46me0mjwfsfngz59 karo all the time. we started teaching taro around 7-8 months and he's 20 months now. our primary way of communicating with him now is signs. sometimes we have to guess cuz he doesn't have a sign for everything. Like he signs for crackers but we have a lot of cracker type snacks so we hold each one up until he signs yes. npub1z674e6ztne66luq0qmt3l9r8uck68zqnz6x6fzuwad46me0mjwfsfngz59 karo baby sign language is so useful. at the very least, I recommend teaching more and all done npub1z674e6ztne66luq0qmt3l9r8uck68zqnz6x6fzuwad46me0mjwfsfngz59 karo how about "my dog is a little bitch?" 😆 npub1z674e6ztne66luq0qmt3l9r8uck68zqnz6x6fzuwad46me0mjwfsfngz59 karo ooo good point! with three, I nearly have a factory! npub1z674e6ztne66luq0qmt3l9r8uck68zqnz6x6fzuwad46me0mjwfsfngz59 karo 👀 did not know this was a thing npub1z674e6ztne66luq0qmt3l9r8uck68zqnz6x6fzuwad46me0mjwfsfngz59 karo haven't read or heard of most of these. The Mandibles is on my list too npub1z674e6ztne66luq0qmt3l9r8uck68zqnz6x6fzuwad46me0mjwfsfngz59 karo it's your contact nap era ❤️ npub1z674e6ztne66luq0qmt3l9r8uck68zqnz6x6fzuwad46me0mjwfsfngz59 karo nice list but you might have to pick two 😆 I wanted to get into reloading but I only got as far as to get the Lyman reloading book before life got in the way. npub1z674e6ztne66luq0qmt3l9r8uck68zqnz6x6fzuwad46me0mjwfsfngz59 karo hope Santa is good to you this year 😉 npub1z674e6ztne66luq0qmt3l9r8uck68zqnz6x6fzuwad46me0mjwfsfngz59 karo nice which ones? npub1z674e6ztne66luq0qmt3l9r8uck68zqnz6x6fzuwad46me0mjwfsfngz59 karo any yarn in particular? 👀 npub1z674e6ztne66luq0qmt3l9r8uck68zqnz6x6fzuwad46me0mjwfsfngz59 karo oh that's good to know. I've been on the fence but this seals the deal npub1z674e6ztne66luq0qmt3l9r8uck68zqnz6x6fzuwad46me0mjwfsfngz59 karo what's on everyone's Christmas wishlist this year? #asknostr With all the photos I've been taking of the kids and memories made, I'm eyeing the Canon Selphy CP1500 photo printer or the Polaroid HiPrint. I think it'd be fun to journal again in the motherhood phase of life. npub1z674e6ztne66luq0qmt3l9r8uck68zqnz6x6fzuwad46me0mjwfsfngz59 karo barf npub1z674e6ztne66luq0qmt3l9r8uck68zqnz6x6fzuwad46me0mjwfsfngz59 karo congratulations 🎉 npub1z674e6ztne66luq0qmt3l9r8uck68zqnz6x6fzuwad46me0mjwfsfngz59 karo thank you ❤️ npub1z674e6ztne66luq0qmt3l9r8uck68zqnz6x6fzuwad46me0mjwfsfngz59 karo I finished knitting a beanie! It is so stretchy and cushy. made with 100% wool yarn. It was intended to be for me but taro put it on and he loves it. I guess it's his now 😆 if you want one, pm me! I do custom knitting so it'll be sized to your measurements and made to order. https://image.nostr.build/ae80be0fd5e338f6f43529528d1e46751454c3d9a343da0cce68a9fc58b0ada0.jpg npub1z674e6ztne66luq0qmt3l9r8uck68zqnz6x6fzuwad46me0mjwfsfngz59 karo haha I fell for it! clever. npub1z674e6ztne66luq0qmt3l9r8uck68zqnz6x6fzuwad46me0mjwfsfngz59 karo how would you differentiate between a commercial ad from a company versus a photo which a small business owner uses to show off their wares? They're both doing the same thing, using media to sell. npub1z674e6ztne66luq0qmt3l9r8uck68zqnz6x6fzuwad46me0mjwfsfngz59 karo yes! DMs are fine npub1z674e6ztne66luq0qmt3l9r8uck68zqnz6x6fzuwad46me0mjwfsfngz59 karo it's hard to hear baby cry but giving others the chance to learn how to soothe her in their own way will make your and her life easier. Just like you have a learning curve, so does dad. It's way harder for Dad in a way. They don't have the natural instinct and don't tend to get as much time with baby as mom to learn baby's cues and behaviors. Feel free to message me any time, questions or just to talk ❤️ npub1z674e6ztne66luq0qmt3l9r8uck68zqnz6x6fzuwad46me0mjwfsfngz59 karo not sure what happened with that sentence 😆 it should read: Being able to give myself grace and compassion for doing this job is very necessary. npub1z674e6ztne66luq0qmt3l9r8uck68zqnz6x6fzuwad46me0mjwfsfngz59 karo day by day, that's how I do it. Some days are better than others. As long as the kiddos are fed, clean and rested, I'm good. I think when you pause to ask yourself "am I doing a good job? is there something I can do better?" That is when you're on the right track. There will always be some measure of mom guilt. It's just the nature of motherhood. I make mistakes but I learn from them. That's all I can ask of myself. Be able to give myself grace and compassion for doing this very job is necessary. I also think it's important to take a little time everyday to do something that is outside of motherhood. I knit or play video games. Being able to forget that I'm a mom has been helpful for mental rest. npub1z674e6ztne66luq0qmt3l9r8uck68zqnz6x6fzuwad46me0mjwfsfngz59 karo yes. it took a little getting used to but the light fluffy texture it makes is worth it. npub1z674e6ztne66luq0qmt3l9r8uck68zqnz6x6fzuwad46me0mjwfsfngz59 karo how do you know if a meme account is posting original content or reposting? npub1z674e6ztne66luq0qmt3l9r8uck68zqnz6x6fzuwad46me0mjwfsfngz59 karo if you had a Santa hat, would your hat be wearing a hat? 🤔 npub1z674e6ztne66luq0qmt3l9r8uck68zqnz6x6fzuwad46me0mjwfsfngz59 karo never thought to put dessicant packets in with ammo. sincerely, someone from the desert npub1z674e6ztne66luq0qmt3l9r8uck68zqnz6x6fzuwad46me0mjwfsfngz59 karo so cool! npub1z674e6ztne66luq0qmt3l9r8uck68zqnz6x6fzuwad46me0mjwfsfngz59 karo I have three. one 20 month old toddler and twins who are almost 4 months. ask me anything ❤️ npub1z674e6ztne66luq0qmt3l9r8uck68zqnz6x6fzuwad46me0mjwfsfngz59 karo not particularly. just wanted to see how you're doing ❤️ it is pretty incredible to suddenly be in charge of a whole new human being haha. npub1z674e6ztne66luq0qmt3l9r8uck68zqnz6x6fzuwad46me0mjwfsfngz59 karo CONGRATULATIONS! how're you feeling? would love to hear more! npub1z674e6ztne66luq0qmt3l9r8uck68zqnz6x6fzuwad46me0mjwfsfngz59 karo unravelled yarn can be carded and spun up again into new yarn 😉 npub1z674e6ztne66luq0qmt3l9r8uck68zqnz6x6fzuwad46me0mjwfsfngz59 karo dare I say, also equivalent to yarn? 🤭 npub1z674e6ztne66luq0qmt3l9r8uck68zqnz6x6fzuwad46me0mjwfsfngz59 karo yeap! and you can overwrite something previously there but it costs 2x the previous cost. npub1z674e6ztne66luq0qmt3l9r8uck68zqnz6x6fzuwad46me0mjwfsfngz59 karo whoa, a community pixel board powered by sats! LOVE THIS! https://ln.pixel.xx.kg/ @nprofile…sflh this is the perfect kind of project for nostr, lightning and Bitcoin. npub1z674e6ztne66luq0qmt3l9r8uck68zqnz6x6fzuwad46me0mjwfsfngz59 karo would I be weird if I posted that I was a knitter who will knit stuff that's custom fit and made to order? That's a kind of freelancer, no? you guys seem to be all about techy stuff... npub1z674e6ztne66luq0qmt3l9r8uck68zqnz6x6fzuwad46me0mjwfsfngz59 karo knitting a hat under cover of night as babes sleep in their beds. shh 🤫 it's really nice to be knitting again. I'm working on a couple sample pieces for the next evolution of karo's knits on nostr that will be available for purchase. https://image.nostr.build/ac9ee1aae0a9b044a3d7e01c0e52f2af917f2549e80e7071671ae487f8f01989.jpg From Bitcoin and Nostr themed beanie hats to star blankets to wool socks, I keep changing what I offer because life keeps changing. The demands for my time as a mother are at an all time high right now but I'm finding small pockets of rest where I'm eager to stack some sats with my knitting skills. I don't have a complete picture of what's next but I do know that it will be custom fit, made to order. Knitting for inventory didn't really work out as I still have quite a few Bitcoin beanies that never got traction. I also know that I'll only be working with 100% wool (and/or other natural fibers) There are a few question marks that I need to think and plan out but I'll get to those, eventually. Thanks for reading this far and for all the support you guys have shown me 💜 #knitting #yarnstr npub1z674e6ztne66luq0qmt3l9r8uck68zqnz6x6fzuwad46me0mjwfsfngz59 karo Oh the wonderful sounds Mr. Brown can do Little Blue Truck came down the road.
