Up Close and Personal

      No Comments on Up Close and Personal

I figured a nice picture of the growing green part of the shawl would be nice, so here you go. I was sort of awkwardly dangling it trying to get my phone to focus, ’cause yanno, that’s how I roll (or something). Work was very unproductive. I did some invoices, and hopefully tomorrow in the office will go well. Cross… Read more »

Two Like Glue

      No Comments on Two Like Glue

Tonight’s picture comes to you compliments of the girls being silly after dinner. I’m not sure whose idea it was out of the two of them, but they kept the up and down going for a good few minutes. And then Littler topped it off by walking over to me and trying to climb me like one of those climbing… Read more »

2.5 Years

      No Comments on 2.5 Years

After 2.5 years, the new curtains are finally up at both ends of the lounge. Z got them hung as part of a tidying project we’d assigned ourselves for this weekend, which was getting those up ,and getting rid of some of the toys under the desk that the girls hadn’t played with in years. We found some missing stuffed… Read more »

Z needed to go to the garden centre to get some weedkiller, and as is his wont on a weekend, he’d planned to take the girls along so they had an outing. To our mutual satisfaction, I was feeling up to coming along and helping herd the kids, if only just. We also wanted to look at the garden sheds,… Read more »

Getting My Crimp On

      No Comments on Getting My Crimp On

I’ve been making more stitch markers today; my crimper came in, so I wanted to get my hands around it. I think I’ve got the basic idea figured out, which is yay. Now if I could get my head around the wire wrapping for the head pins. I *can* manage, but I’ve not managed to get any speed or comfort… Read more »

Bubbles

      No Comments on Bubbles

If there was one thing that the girls wanted to do today, it was to get out on the back garden and play with some bubbles.  I was dragging my heels on assisting them because I was trying to get work-work done, but  I eventually got them dressed… just in time for Z to show up with, surprise, bubble guns….

Hooray for Alternatives

      No Comments on Hooray for Alternatives

I’ve been getting bit a bit by anxiety and insomnia the last couple of nights, and then I topped it off last night by forgetting to take my meds until Z reminded me that I’d forgotten. Whups. Thankfully, the bed in the guest bedroom is a magic fixative for me when I’m in dire straights. The room is the coldest… Read more »

Tinycute Shrapnel

What’s this? Being responsible on a night out and getting blogging done in a timely fashion? The world is obviously ending, ha ha. Add to that that I’ve cooked dinner, and it REALLY looks like the end times. xD As for the aforementioned shrapnel, I finally have beading wire to use. I think I managed to nick myself a few… Read more »

Surprise (Ew)!

      No Comments on Surprise (Ew)!

Yes sorry, I know, keyboards are disgusting. Mine is even worse ’cause cat fur and assorted dust and crumbs, ha ha. What I didn’t expect to find in it was one of my missing screws. It had jammed itself in such a way that using either the 7 or the 4 on the number pad caused the two keys to… Read more »

Blessedly Quiet

      No Comments on Blessedly Quiet

Z has a meeting tonight, so I had bedtime duty all to myself. And I’m mean — I don’t read stories or let them mess around for ages. I’d *like* to be able to read stories, but the pacing in children’s books is really awkward for me and I start choking on my teeth because of course. Having said that,… Read more »
