It snowed! Rudely, overnight, so I didn’t have the pleasure of watching it. The boys were certainly interested, which fair. It was their first time seeing the white stuff in their tiny furry lives. They’ve been doing a solid hibernate today, which goes well with the weather. Not been up to a lot. Not feeling as wiped today as I… Read more »

Today’s stall was a success. I got my table back, *and* a bit of money. The atmosphere was great, and I loved chatting with everyone else. The only downside is the weather meant that there was almost zero footfall. We all packed up a bit early to go home, because there wasn’t really a point to sticking around. Still, I… Read more »

I’ve got the latest lot of thread wound and boxed! There are only 12 more DMC solid colours that I need, which I’ll get when I find a decent sale price. I took advantage of one a smidge higher than I’d ideally like to get started on the next big wave of Anchor threads, so. What can I say, not… Read more »

My newest order of thread came in today, so yup, stuck into winding it up and boxing it. I’ve only finished the first box, and am slowly progressing through the second. It’s going to take some time, heh. My couch is covered in piles of thread yet to process. But still, what a fun problem to have. Only thing past… Read more »

Tharr, proof the tree is up, and mounted with its festive butt. Because it annoys Smalls, ha ha. And because it’s just what me and Z find funny, so. Past that, not a lot. Since my next batch of thread is imminent, I’ve decided to start working on reordering my boxes in preparation. I’ve got the first one done, and… Read more »

I got trapped in bed by both cats this morning; Z had to come up and lure Vivi off so I could escape. I mean yeah, I could have moved them, but who would do such a mad thing?! *laughs* Z got the tree up and the kids slapped some decorations up. I’ve had to sacrifice my back table, but… Read more »

AAAH lookit these boys, so cute. I don’t know how they manage to keep outcute-ing themselves — not that I’m ever gonna complain. It’s like the appeal of babies, but one that can last for years and years. Not a lot today. Slept in super late, and just vaguely poking at my knitting and gaming. It’s the best way to… Read more »

I was getting settled in to existing this morning, when I realised there was a spot on my arm that was sore. I realised, after a few minutes, that I apparently had been using it repeatedly as a point to press against the desk to turn myself. Whups. So I’ve got a cloth bandage on it, and am trying to… Read more »

For the first time in The Longest Time Ever, I finally finished this bloody sock. Part of the problem is I can’t leave my knitting on my desk; Vivi will steal it and run amok. Having to put it up and take it out, while minute steps, are still extra steps that give my brain a chance to go nope…. Read more »

I was annoyed that normal hairclips don’t do a lot to keep mine pushed back. Even when it was shorter, I guess it’s too heavy? So I grabbed a pair of small bulldog clips I had nearby, and you know what? They work awesomely. Plus, incorporating stationary into my style? Very yes. <3
