So uh, apparently? My hood is a pointy hood… I did not know that. I don’t know how I didn’t know that, but it caught my eye when I was walking to the postbox and required photographic attempting things. Things! But yeah, orders! woo! I spent most of the day making replacements for things, and in the case of one… Read more »

Today has been cross-stitch, and pretty much nothing but. I’m hoping to finish my current project tonight, but we’ll see. Past that, I got nothing. Y’all are free, free! <3

This morning, I heard mine and Z’s phone call out a notification at the same time. I figured it was probably the Whatsapp group for Smaller’s year, as it normally is. Nope — it was from our doctor surgery, inviting both of us to book our covid vaccines. Which, unsurprisingly, we booked as fast as humanly possible, and will be… Read more »

So. Temp for the day barely reaches freezing, so what do we do? Opt to go for a little wander through the churchyard, because why not. I mean, it was nice to get out in the air, and we even spotted the gravestone for the lady who lived here before us (who is also haunting the house, but in a… Read more »

So uh… more snow happened. And it’s supposed to get hella cold overnight; there’s already ice on the pavement. Z took advantage of the weather to go pick up our prescriptions; he figured the snow meant there would be no queue (and he was right). I got him to run something to the postbox for me, because heey, someone had… Read more »

I gave my cross-stitch a wee rinse, and it’s currently drying in a towel. I mainly did it to help flatten it out before I put it in the frame I bought. I had to buy two, to my annoyance, but they’re alright! Just simple black frames, which should hang up nicely somewhere. I should probably see how our paint… Read more »

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 »
