Reconfiguring my sewing space for basting &amp; quilting is up next. #quilting #effikaExplodingHeartQuilt<br/> <img src="https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/116/593/049/790/759/979/original/21f7340e30258ca9.jpg"> <br/> 2026-05-18T03:48:03+02:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqs2m5w52nun50v6j5mftewsxgthzq68ztqjvt3wvw25k8vkpscmwkqzyq8geatda5kxhfuhru3t88enysjynrzqtpwlwj244r2rghlakhv2z49cd0w Harvested my last Armenian cucumber/snake melon today (&amp; forgot a picture, but I did take one of a bee). In mid-September both plants stopped making female flowers and began yellowing, so I suspect something in the day length triggered it. <br/><br/>I only got 13 fruit from them (10 from the on-purpose plant, 3 from the lost seed that sprouted much later in the season). Considering that even the &#34;small&#34; fruit I picked gave me over a pound of usable food each, I think that&#39;s fine! #gardening 2025-10-13T03:03:34+02:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsqw9h86j8le48d6mhy2yj8c7hl66v58gta7cqdkghstg2ds4gkakszyq8geatda5kxhfuhru3t88enysjynrzqtpwlwj244r2rghlakhv2zy3daum Me before sewing the legs together at the rise: &#34;I didn&#39;t even try pattern matching when I cut these out so it&#39;s very unlikely they will get close enough to matter.&#34;<br/><br/>Me after: &#34;I should have checked before sewing them with a triple-straight stitch.&#34; 😑<br/><br/>Oh well. I&#39;ve seen worse in the store, and these are just pajamas. No seam ripping happening tonight!<br/><br/>In better news, I avoided having a big pink starburst in an unfortunate spot so I am ahead! #sewing #effikaITSNusleJoggers<br/> <img src="https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/114/922/718/974/257/170/original/df2f270b2568e226.jpg"> <br/> <img src="https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/114/922/719/009/961/545/original/d34ea9929ef3b762.jpg"> <br/> 2025-07-27T04:01:25+02:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqspx8fkfyf5vf0k88dmsrrdk7a8xqrurlz5kq83fvfcstl202frjngzyq8geatda5kxhfuhru3t88enysjynrzqtpwlwj244r2rghlakhv2z34gddj In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs0ny56fsamdjd3y86jnmvj442h4up4mcmemyqeyd8gkpsq3rrtd8g2vxvwj'>nevent1q…xvwj</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I&#39;ve seen some pretty dark ones-- coloring can depend on what they eat. But the stripes only on one side is very curious! No clue now. I guess you&#39;ll have to catch one and raise it into a butterfly/moth to be sure 🤔 2025-07-23T15:45:02+02:00
