The furkids were having a lovely tussle this morning, and Raven decided his battle position was in the bottom drawer of my cloth dresser. ‘That’s not my trousers, they are too bitey!’ I declared, in the style of books we used to have for the kiddos. It made me smile — when Poison was a tiny kitty, she used to… Read more »

We had to take the boys down to the vet across town for their pre-op assessment. All systems go, healthy beautiful boys the vet wouldn’t’ve minded keeping, and hopefully pencilled in for neutering at the end of the month. The receptionist was very very very new to the system and couldn’t quite figure out how to book us in, so… Read more »

Well, they’re not so sprawled in this picture, but they sure are right now. Naw like, the sprawl is just them growing and getting longer. They’re still kittenish in my eyes, but I know they’re getting bigger (and the aforementioned longer) every day. Such good boys. Nothing much on the hook today. Some pretty dice I ordered came in. Waiting… Read more »

It’s supposed to rain this evening, with a chance of thunderstorms. Yes please? The humidity has been gross all day, and I would looooove for it to get yanked down a few notches before I try sleeping. Speaking of gross, Z and I sat down and discussed our summer plans. We agree that we’re not up to going to the… Read more »

I had stood up to see what Vivi was up to, maybe get a picture, when Poison yelled at me to take one of her. Yes’m, is good tum, must share with the world. Been keeping busy today, in spite of it being just on the wrong side of warm (as in, too warm for my tastes). But work got… Read more »

I got the hankering to make stitch markers today, so I did. They’re jumbo beauties for 20mm needles. They’re a teeny bit fragile ’cause the big loop wire is on the softer side, but they should be fine with normal use. I’ll have to remember to add an addendum about that when I put the listings up. Oooh, and just… Read more »

First things first — finally got those photos done! And edited, and listings up. I think I finally cracked my lighting set-up. Of course, still had to do some post-editing, but I guess that’s always going to be the case to get the levels more better. Raven was helping by being where I wanted to set up, of course. Vivi… Read more »

You know how it is, you plan on doing x or y, and ADHD says ‘oooh, Z!’. So that means I ended up going through my stitch markers to check that the stock quantities were correct. Which has also included making a few here and there. It’s been nice. 🙂 It’s just like… we’re chilling, and Eurovision is tonight. Smalls… Read more »

The boys were snuffling around down near me, so I figured I’d see if I could scoop them up and take a picture with them. They were very tolerant! I didn’t keep them for more than a handful of seconds, but they were calm until I let them go (and then they wandered off to do their own things again)…. Read more »

It’s another one of those days where it’s nicer outside than inside… yay over-insulated British homes. ¬¬ And yes, actually went outside for a postbox run. Illness has finally caught up with Z, so I was trying to spare him a few steps. I also made dinner for our three children… yeah, three. J is over visiting Smalls, and decided… Read more »
