I had an old old internet friend come to visit today, which was excellent. We’ve known each other for the better part of 20 years, and this was the first chance we’ve had for our paths to cross in person. It was a good visit! Smaller was cranking up the chatter and charm as usual, while Smalls mainly curled up… Read more »

I had an order in today for one of the necklaces I listed yesterday, to my delight. I’d already had a bath and slapped some polish on my nails, so I was 500% ready to actually leave the house. So that was pleasing. There’s another that is likely to sell in the near future, so that’ll be nice. I’m deep… Read more »

I finished sewing up the late this morning, in what was probably one of my more ‘gotta get this perfect’ sewing jobs in ages. Smaller tried it on after she got home from school, and yus — the fit is excellent. Now I just have to keep it stashed away without losing it until it’s actually warm enough to wear… Read more »

I think I mentioned that our token Aussie is heading back to Oz, and perhaps I even mentioned that she gifted all of us with wool and other pretties. Smaller has been after a rainbow hat for a bit, and I am nearing completion. Knock on wood, I’ll actually finish it without her clocking it. Beyond that, trying to cool… Read more »

The looming rain held off, and sports day happened as (re-)scheduled. Smalls has definitely improved since last year! I’m proud of her efforts, and a glad that we were able to go witness them. Z fished out the camp chair for me, so my crippled butt was able to hobble around the field behind him to follow Smalls to her… Read more »

I have done pretty much nothing today, but I am exhausted beyond the point of pain. Like, I painted my nails. I made a pendant. That’s it. And yet, and yet… I feel bad about it, only insomuch that Smaller wanted my attention and I didn’t want to give it. I mean, I *did*, because she’s a small child and… Read more »

Shortly before we went a-visiting yesterday, my order of wire came in. I poked at it for a minute or two before we headed out, and have been having a more substantial play with it today. I’m pretty happy with most of the results, but the question will be whether or not other people are happy enough to buy them…. Read more »

We are away from the wired internet at home, and I am successfully on WiFi. It took me a bit to undumb and figure out that I had a WiFi two in a drop-down menu with the stronger signals my adapter could pick up, so yanno, shame on me for not clocking it sooner. But it’s there, it’s working, and… Read more »

One of my local friends, I cannot remember who, had mentioned picking up a wheelchair on the cheap from one of the local auction houses. I’d mentioned this to Z, and commented that there was an online auction facility as well. Being Z, he did his research and discovered that he needed to go into the actual auction house to… Read more »

Z got the call from the school this time; Smalls was having more of the itchy party. Figures, since that timed about with where the dose of antihistamines were given to her this morning. He was going to go dose her before her after-school club when he picked up Smaller, but I sucked it up and hobbled around to take… Read more »
