And verily, I have declared my apple done. I did some backstitching on the letters to make them stand out, and then it’s like… well, I guess I should do the rest. I did a crap-ass job on the leaf and stem, and could’ve stood to circle back and do more on it, but eeeeh. It’s fine. I managed to… Read more »

We’re currently hanging out around Mum’s house. She had us over for dinner, which is always lovely. It’s the first time since… eesh, Christmas 2019? Last year’s normal come over to eat dates were a bust due to trying to follow Coronavirus distancing, and Christmas last year Z cooked and ferried plates over. She’d picked up some lamb from the… Read more »

I managed to sneak out for a cheeky walk to the nearest Pokéstop in between gaps in the rain. It was gross yesterday, and it’s been gross most of today as well… and honestly, I’m not convinced it’s going to magically turn to snow overnight as promised. Having said that, it’s currently snowing up in Sheffield, so maybe! Past that,… Read more »

I had two Etsy orders come in while I was working, which yanno, cool! I’ll process them after work! So of course, it starts chucking down the rain. Yarp. *laughs* But that’s fine. I fished out my raincoat, and Z made sure I was equipped with his most excellent umbrella (I don’t know if this is the precise one, but… Read more »

I was around at Mum’s house, and I had my hair in a high ponytail, so I figured it would make for some amusing selfie action. I tend to wear it higher a lot more these days ’cause the back of my chair goes above head height, which means my previous ways of wearing it didn’t collaborate well with the… Read more »

It’s still all scraggly and wintry looking outside, though today was rather warm. Having said that, they’re predicting snow this weekend and into next week… we’ll see. It’s always a ‘I’ll believe it when I see it’ sort of situation, since the forecasting here is… well, we’re an island, and that means the temps do weird shit, but there’s also… Read more »

Another day, another trip to the postbox. Well. It’s not *every* day, but I like that my sales have been frequent enough to get me out of the house at least once a week. It felt good wandering around in my new hoodie; I’d commented to Z when I got back that I liked having one that stood out a… Read more »

And here I am, not even trying to be cute, being so cute. *laughs* I’m wearing the cat ears because it was the first headband I saw, and Monday is ‘Mani Monday’, so I’d done my nails up pretty. Truly, these two things make up the entirety of my day, ha ha. But that’s fine, Monday is for zoning out,… Read more »

Mum and I had recently been discussing cross-stitch, and I was annoyed because I couldn’t find my current work in progress. Which, fair, I’d not picked it up in like, over a year, so. I found it in an unexpected drawer earlier, so we were able to continue the discussion. I’ve done a bit more work on it, so yay…. Read more »

Today, it was ‘supposed’ to snow… no snow. Tomorrow maybe? I’ll believe it when I see it. Still, I had to make a postbox run. I layered up in deference to the temp… so of course, the zipper on my hoodie busted. I *think* I managed to squish it back into functionality, but we’ll see. My hoodie is one we… Read more »
