That’s the type of flower this is. Amusingly enough, it was Bing search that spat up a correct answer in like, seconds… thanks Microsawft, I guess. I spotted it near the garage when I was heading off to see Mum, so I figured, why not. Nothing much to report. It’s Friday, we survived another week, etc. Gonna go stitch some… Read more »

Poison has, to our delight, started spending some time upstairs again. She’s in her usual place, which is to say, Smaller’s pillow region. That’s always been ‘her’ spot upstairs, so it’s pleasing that she feels like she can go up there again. I don’t think she has in years, so. Plus, it means that she’s able to get up and… Read more »

The spring hoop I ordered came in, and it looks like it might be big enough to do the flags on. Since I’d already done part of it, it was easy enough to transfer to the hoop as-is. I hope that it can be the right one going forward; I had forgotten how much I liked its ability to be… Read more »

I’m doing my current flag with Anchor instead of DMC. I started looking at both, and then decided to just go with Anchor this time. I’m going to make a point to go back afterwards and see if there are satisfactory colours for it amongst my DMC (and vice versa on the other flags I’ve done). I mean, why not…. Read more »

I was pawing through my assorted embroidery hoops to see what other shapes and styles I had. I was hoping to get one of the spring tension ones in a 4″… but they don’t seem to come in that size. The one I have is like, 4.75″, which requires more fabric to fit in the frame, and bleh. I’ve ordered… Read more »

I was annoying Poison by following her around trying to get a cute picture. Accidentally sat on a bunch of Z’s stuff that was on the couch, so hopefully didn’t break any of that with my massive Butt Power™®. What I really should be doing right now is matching colours for the next flag cross-stitch. Upon reflection, I’ve decided to… Read more »

So, one of the things we needed to specifically do before the gardener could get stuck in with us next month? Clear a pathway through the garage. Z did two trips to the tip on his own (and returned with pain meds for me, what a hunk!). We got a third loaded up, me helping him by tossing boxes from… Read more »

You know what? After a certain point in the morning, it was rather nice outside. We were out around the garden for a bit, as we were having one of our contractors take stock of what we needed to get the brambles tamed (amongst other bits). And then I was around Mum’s for my usual Friday visit, and couldn’t resist… Read more »

Nothing to say today, really. Z had to take Mum to the dentist, so I had a few hours of proper quiet. I did a bit of work, I did a lot of game, and just. Head down, trying to not think too much about anything. <3

Poison yelled at Z and demanded attention, so he tried to coax her onto his chest. Instead, the pillow went over his laptop and a smug furkid perched. She didn’t stay too long — just long enough to assert her dominance. Poison cuteness aside, today has been a double dose of sad. It’s been one month since we lost our… Read more »
