I had an impromptu concept to make a thing today, and I did. It’s a cushion with a few gemstones tucked in that are reputed to aid good sleep; Smaller has always been a bit of a problem sleeper, so I found out what her bestie has in her bed (amethyst), and let Smaller pick the one she liked the… Read more »

I made it past the halfway point on this blanket a few days ago… just trying to find the spoons to grind until it seems like I’m making progress on getting shrunken. Shrinked. Shroonk. Something. *chuckles* (whups, forgot to finish up. ANYWAYS) <3

It’s been generically a day. I’ve been feeling a bit run down, but that’s just how it goes sometimes. I’ve made a smidge of progress on my knitting, but like. Just want to sit still-ish and zone out in games. Which I’m doing, and enjoying that the weather seems to be cooling down a tiny bit more. Today is warmer… Read more »

I decided last night to splash out and get myself a flexshaft for my Dremel. I’m not going to get a chance to play with it today (we have company), but I look forward to it. And yes, company! A and her parents are around for socialisation and pizza. I taught R how to wire wrap a pendant, and she’s… Read more »

It’s hot. And rudely, this is the hottest part of the day because up north and weird shit like that. Tomorrow is supposed to be reasonable (60Fs vs 90Fs)… just got to survive until tomorrow, ha ha. We’re supposed to get rain as well, which I would really enjoy. Have I mentioned how much I like/love my mother-in-law? Besides like,… Read more »

And just like that, the youngest is that notch older. She had a good day, and enjoyed her gift haul. She’s got a playdate at the trampoline park this weekend, so that’ll be a nice cap-off for her birthday period. 😀 The weather is ghastly today; I declared we were getting the a/c up and running first-ish thing this morning….

Today has been so hot and gross that dragging my pasty ass outside into the sunlight seemed a better option than staying inside. I’m sure my skin will have an opinion tomorrow, because I didn’t think about sunblock or anything clever like that. Nothing really past that. Having a little dip into House Flipper, ’cause yanno, picking weeds and painting walls… Read more »

The air around here is squishy and gross, even if the humidity isn’t that high, or the temp completely unreasonable (though 74F outside feels a lot hotter inside due to how thick British homes are). There’s a chance we’ll have to bust out the mobile a/c units for a farewell tour before the proper a/c is installed… we’ll see. I… Read more »

It took 15 years, but we finally have cats that like boxes. I’d put one of the empty Coke boxes on the table, which promptly spawned a cat. So Z put another one, and it also spawned a cat. So yeah. I think this kind of captures them perfectly. Been chilling today, because yanno, that’s the Monday style. I’ve made… Read more »

The side passage outer wall that lost all those bricks lost another one in the past week. So I claimed it to put my Dremel on while I was outside drilling some stones. What have I learned? Diamond tip or not, they wear out very quickly when trying to do crystal/gemstones. So I’ve ordered some more to come in Monday,… Read more »
