Moarrr

      No Comments on Moarrr

Yes, I had moar beads arrive today! These were all mainly on the small size, but I’ve already found some inspiration. I made two sets of crochet markers, and am trimming off the matching two sets of knit markers. I’m hoping I can come up with a name sooner rather than later so I can get them posted to my… Read more »

You Guessums, Bead Edition

      No Comments on You Guessums, Bead Edition

There is this one particular random assortment of beads that I keep ordering from Amazon, and it reliably gives me some of the beads that I want to work with. It also gives me some I’ve not figured out what I want to do with, but I’ll figure it out as I go along. What I am probably going to… Read more »

Hard at Work

      No Comments on Hard at Work

Actually, that sort of wasn’t true. I didn’t really do any work-work, and was easily swayed away from it by Z (and the fact Littler decided I was furniture for long stretches). I hopefully will get some of the things done tomorrow, but the main thing will be having a proper bath before going out tomorrow night and having to… Read more »

Easter Heroes

      No Comments on Easter Heroes

We are currently over at Z’s parent’s house. The girls started off the visit by starting their Easter Egg hunt — before any of the adults could process that they had started it, ha ha. It’s been the usual, pleasant family do though. There’s been food for nibbling on, kids running amok, and general chilling. Z and his dad watched… Read more »

Momentarily Contained

I spent part of this morning trying to tidy and reorganise my desk storage to make space for this whole Etsy shop thing. It’s a good idea in theory, though in practice my desk is currently covered with stuff ’cause I’ve been making and adding markers to the store. I’ve had to make myself stop and take a minute to… Read more »

Familial

Today is Mother’s Day (or Mothering Sunday) here in the United Kingdom. I got Z to take a few pictures of me and the girls being sweet/goofy/very us, such as this one at home. We’re currently at his parent’s house hanging out and eating. The girls have sung karaoke at us, cards were exchanged, and affirmations of affection were passed… Read more »

Thump Thump Thump

Today’s image comes to you compliments of noise. You see, the girls are upstairs having a dance party, so all I can hear down here is the loud thumpings of them jumping around. I smile — I dimly remember having the energy to bop around like that. I’m glad that they have an appreciation of music and moving around to… Read more »

Do Not Open ‘Til Christmas

Well, okay, I guess I have to peel myself out of my blanket sooner than that, but I don’t wanna. The week is over, the workday is over, and I just want to veg. I did thank the girls for a mainly good week; I’m really proud of both of them for independently spearheading crafting projects. Even if it was… Read more »

He Knows Me Well

I was pleasantly surprised this morning to find not only my requisite card, but a small parcel. It was the pictured colouring book, and upon flipping through it, it’s a really nice quality one! I’m going to have to see if the girls will let me borrow their markers, as I don’t think crayons will cut it, and I don’t… Read more »

Wet Wet Wet

      No Comments on Wet Wet Wet

Today’s picture is actually from yesterday, but it works the same today. It’s been raining and gross, and hooray for not having to be out in it. The forecasters seem to be suggesting that it’s going to stay this sort of nasty for the next couple of weeks… sigh. I cannot decide if it’s better because somewhat less dangerous, or… Read more »
