Turning It Around

      No Comments on Turning It Around

I have made a good start on getting my desk tidied back up after weeks of being a disaster area. And let me tell you — it is grand to be able to move my arm without obstruction, ha ha. I’ve also combined that with getting some of the things for Saturday boxed up and moved to the side, and… Read more »

Outdoor Science

Z had the bright idea that we should check out how to get the gazebo up before the weekend, so we went outside to do science.  The tl;dr is that it’s not too hard to get up, and not too hard to get down. I… missed out on the second part because I completely spaced out. But at least it… Read more »

A Little Grind

      No Comments on A Little Grind

I am pleased that I have some inspiration for bracelets this evening. I’m making ones I’ve ‘already’ made, except in different colourways in patterns. Heh, I guess that one could argue that means they’re different bracelets, but I’m able to keep them in some of the broad categories I’ve made without any problems, so that’s useful for my brain. Whatever…. Read more »

Really Not Much

      No Comments on Really Not Much

I think it’s fair to say that the sum total of my productivity today has been filling out some forms for Littler for school, and finishing off a sock. I’ve otherwise been huddling in the conditioned air poking at games. Which, to be fair, that’s fine, it’s Monday. Self-care and relaxation is the true agenda, so yanno… job done. Having… Read more »

Filling Boxes

I got the earring stock moved to a new box this morning, and then finished making the amount of stock that I wanted to have to hand. So like, there’s over 80 pairs of earrings? I sincerely doubt I’ll get through all of them at the fete, but I’m kind of proud of myself for getting goodies made and stashed…. Read more »

A Bit of Gussy

Tonight the entire fam is out for a bit of miniature train fun — and free buffet, ha ha. I figured I’d have a bit of fun with my hair, ’cause I can’t remember the last time I braided the front. It’s still pulled back and vaguely tidy rather than hanging loose, but now I have the option! Fancy! ((And… Read more »

Sorting and Shuffling

      No Comments on Sorting and Shuffling

Today has been a good day, more or less. I got some work-work done… maybe not as much as I wanted to, but I’m almost over the hump to where things’ll pick back up. So yanno, hopefully tomorrow will see that happen. I think that it will. I also finally sat down and got my inventory spreadsheet populated. It also… Read more »

Time’s Arrow

Yes, this picture is hilariously unflattering… but I couldn’t resist being a bit cheesy as a bite-back against emotions from 20 years ago spiking up and stabbing me. I was listening to The Cure, and ‘Just Like Heaven’ came on. I’m okay with this song 99.999% of the time… apparently, this time I wasn’t. It dragged back memories of my… Read more »

Well Fed

We popped over to visit Z’s parents. It’s his mother’s birthday,  so we were taking cards and pressies. She seemed to like her gifts, which is yay; she’s hard to read sometimes. She then invited us to join her and Z’s father for a meal, which um, yes please. *chuckles* We all had a lovely meal, and the girls were… Read more »

Ear Candy

      No Comments on Ear Candy

I only got around to trying to make a few bits for the fete this afternoon, and my direction is apparently earrings. I’ve only done the two styles for the moment, but I like them and plan on doing some more in these veins. I’m very exhausted from weather right now. It was the school sports day, so we went… Read more »
