Smoke and

      No Comments on Smoke and

Z’s phone rang from his pocket while he was covered in meat juices prepping dinner. It was our neighbour letting us know that they were going to shoot off some fireworks tonight, in a combination of ‘warning you for the sake of your cats’ (our cats are weirdly chill about fireworks), and just generally inviting us to stand in the… Read more »

Queen of Improv

My existing spool of chain is nearly run dry, so I had made a point to order more that looked to be a likely match. It’s close, but not perfect. I’ll still be able to use it, but I’ll have to rejigger my math slightly so that I use the right  amount of chain (I’d written my ‘recipes’ in number… Read more »

Just Wonderful

I have had my first proper haircut in years compliments of our neighbour, who is a hairdresser. We’d booked her in to do the girls this afternoon, but was happy to do the rest of us as well. Z is relieved ’cause his hair was getting tangly-long, and well. I am wary about letting other people cut my hair because… Read more »

Rough Stuff

As much as I love painting my nails, I have been lax about it lately. A big factor in that is all the making I’ve been doing lately. I chip the crap out of my nails, and if any growth manages, it’ll most assuredly splinter. I had that happen earlier; good thing I keep a couple of pairs of nail… Read more »

Happy Hands

Not been up to much today, which is perfect. Most of it has been doing jewellery-making science. I have a big bag of 14mm dice, dice that were supposed to be 12mm, but *anyways*. I drilled a few out last night to get my head around potential ideas, and I think that earrings might be the winner. I’ve made a… Read more »

Generically Yours

Yup, it’s mah face again. Which is to say, nothing really to report today. Some work happened, it’s the weekend now, and I’m waiting for black dice. *laughs* A lot of the pride flags I want to make require black, and I decided it’s probably going to look sharpest with an opaque black dice in situ. We’ll see. For now,… Read more »

New Chair Smell

My new chair arrived today! But only one did; we’re expecting Z’s chair to show up tomorrow. Well. We expected both today, but only one showed up, so we built it and called it mine. My back is so, so very happy. I’ve got it tilted slightly forward, which is putting nice pressure on my back. It ‘hurts’ in that… Read more »

Smalls Found It

      No Comments on Smalls Found It

It was raining a wee bit earlier, and Z commented that there was probably a rainbow somewhere. So Smalls started running to look out windows, and found one. I was only permitted to post the pictures I took on my on phone as long as I gave her credit for finding it. So yanno, good job dork. *laughs* Past that,… Read more »

Detritus

Today’s photo is some acrylic scraps on a tray, crappily shot with love. *laughs* Which is to say, been drilling out this and that casually between playing The Witcher 3. I also bought a pair of 25mm knitting pegs to use as mandrels to make 20mm stitch markers, because that makes sense to me. Anyhoos, can’t think of anything else to… Read more »

Taskmistress

Today has been a day of craft-related tasks. First of all, I had 4 Etsy orders in the previous day and change. One I got posted off yesterday, another prepped, and then woke up to two more. So had to get all that prepped to send off, get stuff prepped to replace the listings (which I tend to do especially… Read more »
