Maple Leaves, ironed in waxed paper, for a fall decoration. I'm such a good archivist, the ten sheets I made on Freedom Avenue in 1995 still exist in usable condition. #craft #crafting #craftiness #maple #mapleleaves #waxedpaper #leavesinwaxedpaper #homespun #homeideas #homedecor #falldecor #autumndecor #oldfashioned #tradition #traditions #vintagecraft #vintagecrafting #autumn #fall #changeofseason #changeofseasons #halloween #october #spooky

Ranger Danger, a popular, accident-prone character who hosted afternoon cartoons on Albany's Fox 23 (WXXA) in the mid-1990s, was played by Gary Locatelli. Each skit ended with his catchphrase "Aii Yuhh!" Remastered versions are available on Youtube, and we're enjoying them thoroughly. #rangerdanger #wxxa #garylocatelli #foxtv #cartoon #cartoons #kidshows #host #kidsshowhost #kidsshowhosts #accidentprone #accident #bumbler #comedian #comedians #humor #homespun #homespunhumor #Youtube #Ranger

CW: Big post. A quartet of photos of homespun yarn becoming a scarf.
It seems I forgot to document the #homespun #yarn adventure other than to my mother, so here's the journey so far. Only blocking left to do. It's a candy cane scarf. Had to spin some extra yarn though.
It took some tries and time to choose the number of stitches but it is a very basic "Baltic herringbone" stitch, called 'sillben' in Swedish. Six of those, flanked by one standard knit stitch on each side. Repeat until done. -
First one wanted to be a pillow. The rest wanted to fulfill their destinies to become little mats. It was a great chance to practice actual quilting. I experimented with stitch length and speed. I found the rhythm that others seem to naturally have of ‘needle down, presser up, turn, presser down, and resume’. So while still leagues away from perfect or quality, this was an immensely satisfying little project with a humble little charm pack. #quilting #sewing #homespun #quiltstodon
