Welp me and the cat cannot be trusted with afghans apparently. Hopefully the quilt goes better when it arrived.
Okay i thought I was going for clicky bao first, but nah I gotta go for a copper bookmark. So pretty. Also my buy it nows aren't live yet but if you like bandanas or need some new washclothes, watch the auction site. I really gotta finish weaving in ends this weekend...
I should probably report this guy to our landlord. But dude just likes chilling on our back steps every morning. I dont want him to die 😔
Me: throws some mint tea i was gifted in with the black tea I wss brewing Cat: Hello Me: checks ingredient list. Oop yes there is catnip in here. Unfortunately the rest is poison to you so... (He is also skirting the rules by being on a storage tote on the table instead of just the table)
Me: notices a back claw needs to be clipped. Also me: moves a finger towards it. Him: dont you even dare.
Thanks to @peculiarityshop.bsky.social I now have a beautiful garnet ring to remind me of one my mama had (just in silver)! I was worried I'd have to resize it but apparently my fingers bloat a fair bit in summer so it fits on either my middle or ring finger depending on the day lol
Is he making a move or just trying to make sure i dont forget hes there and lean my head back on him?
Apparently his snackie rank 1. Churu 2. Tuna flakes 3. Random unidentified dry treats roommate got with a toy. 4. Freeze dried shrimp

He us very satisfied with himself and will now nap the rest of the morning away.
Me: celebrates almost being done with blanket. Nothing can possibly stop me from finishing the last triangle before work Cat: you sure about that mom? You sure??
My @peculiarityshop.bsky.social order came in! I was slightly wrong when I measured for ring size so it ended up a ring finger ring instead of a pinky ring like intended. Also I am super pumped the one set of earrings and ring match since I got them separately and didnt plan that haha.
Was having a really hard time getting up this morning. Decided to make boiled eggs while dancing around to Carly rae Jepsen. It turned into me deciding to prep all the fruits and veg I bought the last two weeks for salads and smoothies. I actually caught a mango at peak ripeness too.
Hit my first color change in the mandala yarn I got for the bebe blanket. Its going pretty fast though I have to make 4 of these triangles. I am considering making myself a bandana using the same pattern if I have any appropriate yarn lol. Its cute!
Mother the food I have is not good enough. Look at me mother, I would rather eat plastic than the full bowl of wet food you have given this morning. Mother please, I beg for the crunchies.
I used packing tape to attach two pieces of this cross stitch pattern. I have been highlighting finished squares as I go. I did not think about how packing tape+non permanent markers = no marks. Now I have to reprint because that will not work in spots where the color changes every other stitch.
Okay my legs hurt and my upper body is cold, but hes so sweet. I cannot possibly move.
Why yes I did buy this board book solely for the Catdinsky page. And yes I did read it to my cat when he was whining for attention the other night. And yes it was a successful endeavor because he rubbed his face on the page corners until he got bored and laid down.
This is a CAT checkpoint. Show me the most recent cat image on your phone. Sorry its not a cute one in the traditional sense...
I try not to get into the rivalries anymore but this picture does amuse me. Dusty is like heckle all you want, im still happy to be here.
Okay took the day off so I couls gwt my shit together. So far tidied room, unloaded the dishwasher and bought this sweater I have been eyeing on depop.
Do cross stitch they say. It'll be easy they say. Apparently I cant count and was did not realize starting with the sky portion of a beach scene would be a bad idea. Also I cant print the pattern since work is closed so I am doing it off my phone and cant mark what is done. Its rough.
