Repotted May 2020 into a nice big hanging basket
I used to use a site called MyFolia to log my plants so I’d know their names and how to care for them. I also used to have a paper binder. Both of those are now defunct. I’m going to make some posts here to try to fill that gap. We’ll see how it goes.
First up: Crassula perforata – subspecies kougaensis (String of Buttons)

Here’s my little one in the dress I made. (original post) These pics are from June. It’s super cute, but the big opening at the back made it a little impractical. I never wanted to put her in it if we were driving anywhere because then her bare skin would be against the hot car seat. And since I never did put elastic in the matching bloomers, it also seemed a little risque. (pattern link)
I made a hat for my darling niece.
Yarn: Panda Soy in Positive Purple, less than 2 skeins
Needles: Size 3
Pattern: Aviatrix, sport weight
Finished: December 2013
Notes: I doubled the yarn. Fingering weight doubled ~= sport weight. Button from my stash. I forgot to take any pictures before gifting it, so I don’t have any macro shots, but I think the adorable toddler more than makes up for that.
I got new mini muffin tins for Christmas and my first recipe was a complete success. I used the cornbread recipe from Vegan Soul Kitchen (minus the nuts) and pushed sliced up Field Roast apple sage sausages into the middle. SOOOO GOOD! And perfect for my daughter’s little hands.
