Naw, the wound on my thumb is from my drill, not me. I mentioned yesterday that it tasted blood, and yeah. I don’t know what was going on, but I was just having a not good time of it. So it sometimes goes. As for today, I’ve had a brutal headache. Pain meds push it back enough that I’ve just… Read more »

My stuff is a bit all over the place right now. Which, to be fair, was always going to happen with making all the things for later in the month. I finished a cross-stitch earlier, and started on another one. I need to prep more of the smol frames and get those finished. I also need to turn a bunch of… Read more »

The boys have made a point to nap all day, in precisely spaces containing projects I could be working on. Vivi is taking up my window desk, which means no drilling. Raven is curled up on my blanket in progress, though now he’s nestled into Smaller’s pancho-robe on top of the blanket. Cats, innit. I just hope the fireworks don’t… Read more »

I came home from visiting Z’s mom to find Raven on ‘my’ couch. He’s run off a couple of times, but he’s also come back several times to hang out. So yeah, I’ve got cute eye candy to occasionally wander over and pester with pets. Petser with pests? Anyways. *laughs* Good visit with Mum, but they pretty much always are…. Read more »

I’d been thinking yesterday afternoon that I wanted to, if I spotted one, do a stall at a village event in the near future. Lo and behold, I found out about one later this month. So I’m booked in, and flailing trying to get my ducks in a row. I’ve made an inventory spreadsheet. I’ve started looking to see what… Read more »

Z had to go get blood taken for a test, so he stopped at B&M on the way back to see if they had any of the Krave breakfast bars the kids liked. Alas, they didn’t. He did pick up some of the cheap and cheerful advent calendars so we could have them in November. The kids were well impressed,… Read more »

We had parent/teacher conferences this afternoon, so I made a point to adorn myself in some of my efforts. Nobody commented on anything, but hey, at least I made an effort at advertising my goods and services. 😀 As for the conference, it was the usual — your child tries really hard and is a delight to have in class….

It’s Halloween — SPOOPY TIEMS. I dressed up as Wednesday Addams… aka, pretty much myself. *laughs* I love handing out candy, and because Z got to stay in this time, he hooked up the smoke machine and some disco lights. We got so many compliments from our handful of visitors, so even though I had hoped for more (it started… Read more »

Ohai, I’m still alive. I’ve been dealing with low-grade dizziness for the last couple of days, which pretty much destroys brain functionality. So I’m feeling mildly triumphant that I’m starting to doodle for the next Sweary Fruit. I don’t know precisely how I want it to lay out, but if I get some shapes down on a page, then I… Read more »

I was wet-combing Raven’s head, so wrapped him up in a towel to dry him off… which also worked to trick him to placidly lay on his back in my lap for a few minutes. I wasn’t gonna tell him that I wanted to see how long he’d hang out, ha ha. And he did for a bit, before realising… Read more »
