I finished Z’s hat this morning, just in time to send him out into cold and miserable weather. And delivered during the day was a skein of wool I ordered to make another hat, ha ha. This one is for a friend, and hopefully will come as a surprise. I don’t know how much progress I’ll make tonight, but I’ll… Read more »

I finished the hat I was working on last night as I expected, so I pulled out the final ball of wool in the bag. And it was a purple one that I had picked up with no particular plans in mind for, when I indeed developed a plan. Z had expressed a liking of the ones I made to… Read more »

I ended up deciding to do this third hat in the round, which is going well. I’m to the decrease section, so hopefully I can get it finished off tonight and figure out what I am doing next in the charity stakes. That’s been the bulk of the day, really. I’ve been playing a bit of Frostpunk, which has a delightfully… Read more »

While it can be said of any day of the week or year, I am feeling full of love for my kiddos. Smaller trusted me to do something impromptu and cute with her hair, the results of which she was thrilled by. Smalls, on the other hand, had a friend scheduled to come over. This turned into two friends, because… Read more »

I’m not completely sure, but I think my blog has been eating my words. Or I’ve been forgetting that I’ve not written things on ‘paper’ that I’ve written in my head. My dreams reflected this last night, in that Katie Hopkins was a locum at my GP who gave me lots of illegal drugs for the ADHD I was trying… Read more »

My desk is in mess mode again, but at least like, stuff is getting done/made? I got one listing up, and am trying to talk myself around to getting another set photographed. It’s not like it’s hard to do, just like… fussy and focus in ways that my ADHD gets whiny about. *doinks brain* <3

Batman is… not really a lapcat. Sometimes he’ll want to cuddle for a few minutes before running off, and we had one of those rare spells earlier. So I took pictures, to which he made this gloriously offended face. He was actually enjoying himself, but yanno… face. *pats face in mind* There’s not much going on for the mo. I… Read more »

Yup, it’s the box and stitch markers again. But this time, the little bit of yellow that was still showing yesterday has been tended to. Now I just have to make sure to not get mucky fingers all over my paperwork, ha ha. I’m happy with it as a useful prop though. What else… what else. Work was aight. Post-work… Read more »

I’ve spent most of my day drilling out all the beads I drilled out to another bit of a wider borehole… but at least by the end of things, I got another set of stitch markers made. And I got these pretties listed earlier, so hooray for that? <3

I find myself doing more bead-drilling science this evening. Chatting with Nufrond on Thursday, the subject of hand drilling things came up, and she reminded me that heeey, sometimes you have to start with a smaller drill and then move up to a bigger one to keep a thing from shattering. So I’m seeing if I can get some decent… Read more »
