I made the executive decision earlier today to spend some of my birthday money on nail polish cases. I only need two and a bit with my current stash, but I went ahead and picked up an extra one, since there was yet another discount for buying four instead of three. I’m excited about being able to compress my stash… Read more »

I guess my cross-stitch speed is picking up, I guess? I can’t say it feels one way or the other, but results speak for themselves. I started the one I’m working on this morning, and maybe I’ll finish it tonight? Maybe not? I’m not rushing myself along, whatever the case. Which was something I had to get Mum to understand… Read more »

Today’s session with the declutterer went wonderfully. It flew by at a pace I would not have guessed it to, which is good, I reckon. This small stack of things is all that remained of two large moving boxes that I sorted through; it’s Z’s old D&D stuff, so he’s not likely to want to ditch it. He’s going to give… Read more »

So, in the drama that is trying to find the right shade of purple, I found an accidental trick to help me. I’d taken a picture to illustrate my whinge to friends in Discord, and then realised… oh. That somehow made it really clear which of the purples I was torn between was the right one. So yeah, I’ll totally… Read more »

I was grumbling to Z about having a hard time trying to decide which purple was closest to the flag I’m working on, and he commented that it’s harder to tell because on my screen, it’s backlit. Which is true, so I figured… maybe if I printed out a sheet of tiny flags, that would help. Uh, not as such;… Read more »

Realtalk — Z is hilarious. This pillow was my birthday present, and I chuffing love it. It was the first thing I saw upon getting downstairs this morning, so both the goodness of the game reference and the matching up to what was going on in the house… hee. It’s also just about the perfect pillow for the few times… Read more »

I’m on to my second go at the enby flag. The first mysteriously made its way onto Smalls’ desk, with a tiny bit of arm bending from my bat’leth. ((forgot to finish)) <3

So yes! Got my cross-stitches that I’ve completed photographed yesterday, then collaged and listed today. I’m worried that people are going to find the price too high, but like, really? It’s a freaking bargain. And if people don’t want to buy these, I can slap them on the wall, which is what Smalls wants me to do with them. Past… Read more »

It took a couple of hours, but my thread binder is organised to current standard. I’ll have to do it all again at some point if I buy more thread, but hopefully this’ll so me for a bit. I’ve also made a point to put a bit of scotch tape at the top of each slot to see if it… Read more »

Poison has taken to napping on the footstool, now that there aren’t things on it. I’d ‘snuck’ over to take pictures, and she woke to yell at me. So instead of just stealth ‘lo, a cat!’, I got a lovely portrait. It was a good first day back to working for me. I’m hoping I can manage the same again… Read more »
