The cats, being cats, managed to put a big hole in the net curtain at the front of the lounge. Z and I were like… should we replace it, or accept that a new curtain would get the same treatment? So we decided yeah, we’ll have a holey curtain. Bonus — driving back past the house, we spotted Raven in… Read more »

Today’s trip to the hospital was a productive one. For one, I got confirmation that my hearing has gotten worse since February (when I last had a hearing test). I also have a proper diagnosis of Meniere’s Disease. Meds’ll be ready for pick-up tomorrow, and I am looking forward to seeing things pushed back to manageable. Hopefully. 🙂 <3

I’m currently working on the second selvage for this, but hey — alliums as inspired by Minecraft. I think it’s pretty cute, but then, I try very hard to not do that whole ‘oh no I am a terrible artist and I must suffer for my art!’ thing where I can. Like, anyone doing art is gonna have a moment of… Read more »

I ended up starting on another bracelet today… and then I accidentally cut one of the cords and had to scrap the entire thing. Boooo, but that’s fine. Fished my knitting out of the cupboard, currently enjoying the current colour changing. <3

I needed a picture, so I annoyed Raven by scooping him up and snapping a few pictures. They were quality crap, ha ha. But hey, the image tax is paid. Been a wobbly day for me. Like, vertigo nearly strong enough to require me to go hide in bed. I’ve got the a/c on and I took some meds, so… Read more »

Today marks 16 years since I moved to the UK. Wild, innit. The UK isn’t perfect, but it is the right home for me and mine. Unrelated to that, we had Mum around for fish and chips. It’s not like one has to do it on a Friday, but Friday is when her and D used to do it, so…. Read more »

I love it when you look at a cat, and it looks like they’re grinning. I mean, I know that’s not a thing that they do, but it’s the whole anthropomorphising thing. And he’s a sweet boy when he deigns to pay attention to humans, so. Still not the cuddliest of cats, but maybe someday, someday. I finished weaving the… Read more »

I’ve got beads poured, I’ve got a pattern laid, and the next bracelet of my imagining is a go. It’s not a flag this time, but rather, scratching a floral itch. Since I don’t have to worry about fixed shades to get things ‘right’, I’m busting out some of the prettier beads I bought that didn’t work out for that… Read more »

I had bead mail today! Which means my desk is covered in little packets of beads while I pair things together to find the right flag combos. Having said that, I think that the next bracelet I do is going to be floral instead of a flag… we’ll see. That’s about it, really. Gonna get back to that, and try… Read more »

I loosely clipped my hair up earlier before doing a chore or two, and I like how it fell. My hair doesn’t hold a meaningful wave or curl, so I do like it when it’s a bit wispy. Been a pretty chill day. Had a few craft chores to process… ‘chores’. It’s fun stuff, but I had to make my… Read more »
