Z and I finally managed to find a place that had the Covid booster, so we had a nice little drive through wintry pastoral loveliness; it’s definitely one of the nice things about living in a rural village. Plus, it had been long enough that the roads and the like were mainly clear, outside of our own, which was still… Read more »

I looked up earlier to see that Z had scooped up Vivi. Dutifully, I sang Vivi’s song, and Z kissed his toebeans. I snapped a couple of pictures of Vivi being unimpressed with it all, and this is the one I liked best. Enjoy! We had Small’s school term report in today. The usual, all good or outstanding effort. A… Read more »

My order of Anchor thread came in today, so just been poking that along. Past that, it’s been vague attempts at work, and keeping warm-ish. It’s supposed to get to like, 16F tonight… what the even is that. But eh, time goes, and I go too, blah blah. <3

I realised as I am sitting here doing the wording part of my current cross-stitch that I’m in a good position to finish my few outstanding projects before year end. There’s the cross-stitch. There’s a sock. There’s a blanket, but as that’s a ‘work until I’m bored of it’ project, I’m not as worried about trying too complete it by… Read more »

It snowed! Rudely, overnight, so I didn’t have the pleasure of watching it. The boys were certainly interested, which fair. It was their first time seeing the white stuff in their tiny furry lives. They’ve been doing a solid hibernate today, which goes well with the weather. Not been up to a lot. Not feeling as wiped today as I… Read more »

Today’s stall was a success. I got my table back, *and* a bit of money. The atmosphere was great, and I loved chatting with everyone else. The only downside is the weather meant that there was almost zero footfall. We all packed up a bit early to go home, because there wasn’t really a point to sticking around. Still, I… Read more »

I’ve got the latest lot of thread wound and boxed! There are only 12 more DMC solid colours that I need, which I’ll get when I find a decent sale price. I took advantage of one a smidge higher than I’d ideally like to get started on the next big wave of Anchor threads, so. What can I say, not… Read more »

My newest order of thread came in today, so yup, stuck into winding it up and boxing it. I’ve only finished the first box, and am slowly progressing through the second. It’s going to take some time, heh. My couch is covered in piles of thread yet to process. But still, what a fun problem to have. Only thing past… Read more »

Tharr, proof the tree is up, and mounted with its festive butt. Because it annoys Smalls, ha ha. And because it’s just what me and Z find funny, so. Past that, not a lot. Since my next batch of thread is imminent, I’ve decided to start working on reordering my boxes in preparation. I’ve got the first one done, and… Read more »

I got trapped in bed by both cats this morning; Z had to come up and lure Vivi off so I could escape. I mean yeah, I could have moved them, but who would do such a mad thing?! *laughs* Z got the tree up and the kids slapped some decorations up. I’ve had to sacrifice my back table, but… Read more »
