Little sneak peek 🤫 #wip

An unfinished button add on. It's a pomegranate out of felt sheets. It has a dark red base layer, on top is a white one for the inside an on top of that are three blobs of brighter red. One of the blobs got embroidered with red glass beads. At this point this is still unfinished.

My partner made chili with shredded tofu and shredded carrots <3

A bowl of chili on rice with a lot of different beans.

Falls du häkeln kannst, kannst du z.B. kleine Blumen mit Loch in der Mitte häkeln. Das sollte recht simple sein denke ich. Ansonsten habe ich Filzplatten genommen, im Grunde einfach (zur Stabilität) zwei Lagen mit einem Blanket stitch verbunden und dann ein Knopfloch in die Mitte gemacht. Also

Gehäkelte Blumen, jede in einer anderen Farbe, als button ad ons hinter Hemdknöpfen. Rechts sieht man sol he blumen ohne knopf dahinter. Dort in der Mitte, wo der Knopf durch geht, ist ein rundes Loch in der Blume zb durch das Starten mit einem magic ring, den man nicht zu zieht.

A little preview for the next set 👀 #art

A kiwifruit button add on. Like the other ones, this is made from felt pieces. A green circle with a white circle in the middle. The white one is secured with white embroidery thread with lines of different lengths going from the edge of the white part outwards to mimic the white line structure of kiwis. Additionally there are small black glass beads scattered around the white circle to mimic seeds.

Button accessories #art

Five flat and small citrus themed things with a button hole in the middle, all made out of flat felt and sewn together with blanket stitches.
A lemon, a lime, an orange, a lemon slice and an orange slice.

The same five objects but on buttons on a buttoned shirt. They sit behind the buttons via their button hole.

BUT I did do some artsy things over the last days. (At least I started them.)

An unfinished painted pattern around a door frame. It's red triangles inside (touching the doorframe) and pink ones outside.
On the right are stairs and on the wall are things for cats to climb.

I fell in love with the vegan spongecake recipe by @seelenkueche.bsky.social, so I did it again today for small cakes with berries from our new garden. 🥹❤️

A red plate with a small spinge cake topped with yogurt and a lot of berries. Mulberries, raspberries and red and black currants.

I found the cheap hammock frame and hammock I bought for my balcony years ago in the garage at our new place. ❤️

Photo of one end of a green hammock, taken from in the hammock. Behind there are trees in front of a blue sky.

I just love kidlit illustration so much. I grew up loving the little children's books at my grandma's, with beautiful illustrations by Ida Bohatta

A little book called "mein gärtlein ~ der blumenstrauß" by ida bohatta. The cover is an illustration of different flower people. they have human faces and bodies, but on their hat is a flower as a head and their gowns are corresponding to their flowers. The big one is a sunflower, even connected to a plant, caring for the other flowers who appear to be children. Everything is very soft and wholesome.

Sie ist so klein 😭😭 Sie ist ne ganz zierliche, es ist so cute 😭🥺❤️ Ich meine natürlich, sie ist RIESIG!! Beweis:

Eine schwarze Katze, die recht aufrecht steht. Mit den Hinterbeinen auf einer Sessellehne, mit den Vorderpfoten auf Kartons n ganzes Stück höher.
Das Foto ist von der Höhe ihrer Hinterpfoten aufgenommen und hat deshalb eine sehr weirde Perspektive, in der sie sehr groß und irgendwie auch humanoid aussieht. Man sieht ihren Rücken und Schwanz, aber sie hat ihren Kopf auch so gedreht, dass man ihn sieht.

Mara@thecatfreaky· May 20

❤️

Foto einer Katze von der Seite, die mit den Hinterbeinen auf einer breiten Fensterbank aus Holz steht und mit den Vorderbeinen im offenen Fenster, das etwas höher ist, da darunter noch ein flaches, nicht aufmachbares Fenster ist. Sie guckt interessiert durch ein Fliegengitter raus in den Garten.
Unten im Bild sind noch meine Beine, ich seitze im Schneidersitz mit auf dem Fensterbrett.

First time cooking at the new place. It was fun! Such a great kitchen! And finally some veggies again after all the moving ramen. 😭

Two bowls with pasta and a cream sauce with a lot of veggies (carrots, leeks, carrots) and green herbs. On top is fresh bellpepper.

Today the beautiful space themed sticker book by @tsuyonpu.bsky.social AND the space themed stickers by @paraplyshop.com arrived at the same time. So I just did the rational thing and put them on the first pages. (There are more than these three.) This is for my space loving nibling ❤️

A small book. The cover is a space themed illustration of bunnies in space. one is in a rocket, one lying on a planet, pointing at the sky and a star constellation and the third lounging on a crescent moon. Additionally there is a planet with bunny ears on a space background with some stars and clouds in purple colors.

Thefirst page of the sticker book. There is are three cute stickers, one is a small star, one is the head of a dog astronaut and the third and biggest one is a person in a night sky dress and a round head, where the left part is a crescent moon and the rest is a sun. The moon part has sparkly stars around it and the sun part sun rays.

It would probably help if your help section wasn't saying that the first step of migrating was creating an account. Or is there a difference between signing up and creating an account? Because when I tried signing up first, it wanted a username and said something about creating an account.

This is so beautiful! Spell your name in satellite images. science.nasa.gov/mission/land...

Four satellite images of landscapes, where the terrain spells the name MARA. (One letter per image)
All letters are "written" by bodies of water, mainly rivers.

Kamome Shirahama: This is something that readers of
Witch Hat Atelier will already know or have started to
notice, but the idea of the manga is that magic is not
something you're born with. It's not in your blood or
genes, nor if you were born into a family of magicians
that makes you a magician. That's not how it works.
[Magic] is something that anyone can learn to do with
pen and ink, and it's an ability that anyone can learn to
harness and to hone. I want readers to think, "Well, if
this is something that 1 also have an ability to do, what
will I do with this power that I have in my hands?"

I know the story is set in a fantasy world, but the
characters' world is real to them. When the characters
have a real pen and ink in front of them, how will they
use this power? I want audiences to think [about] that
as they read my story.

Hab gerade gesehen, dass es solidarische Tickets sind. Finde ich richtig klasse und wünschte ich könnte das finanziell auch unterstützen.

Screenshot: Balanced Tickets — Jede Person hat ein Recht auf kulturelle Teilhabe.

Balanced Tickets möchte ein solidarisches Prinzip für alle etablieren. Wenn der reguläre Preis für Menschen eine Hürde darstellt, soll Balanced Tickets die Möglichkeit schaffen, ein Ticket für einen günstigeren Preis zu bekommen. Und wie wird das finanziert? Durch die freiwillige Unterstützung derjenigen, die es sich leisten können und möchten! Jedes verkaufte Unterstützungsticket trägt zur Finanzierung der Ermäßigungstickets bei. Das, was die Unterstützer*innen bereit sind, mehr zu bezahlen, zahlen die Ermäßigten weniger.

I had some more fun and whimsy designs too, but since we'll have a very small space, I prioritized function (as well as affordability with tools and skill) and still liked the design, especially the modular aspects of it.

Pencil sketches of sofas. There are different back rest designs on the left. Clouds and different circles and ellipses. On the right are two versions of the same sofa which mainly has circular and elliptical elements with some straight edges.

Bolder sofa design sketches, one that stands out, because it's colored in is a vegetable sofa. The base is a zucchini, the arm rests carrots, the back rest an aubergine and a tomato and then it has two cushions. One a tomato and the second a garlic one.
The other designst include a cloud with a sun, a flower as a back rest with the leaves being the actual back rest and then upper leaves being a small shelf and the flower being a lamp and a sofa made out of various circular segments.

More sketches of sofa ideas. There are a lot of circle and wave shapes in the designs. On the right ade Ideas for modular sofas, among them are two from common building block shapes.
Next to it are ideas for how to make them modular.

The sofa I would've liked to build, but can't (at least atm):

A sketchbook page with sketches and notes to a sofa. The sofa consists of 4 parts you can take apart. Two are L shaped seats, the other two are the armrests, that have the same low height as the back rest.
The arm rests can be taken of and put together to form a third seat that has the same measurements as the other seats and can be fixed to the sofa to make it a 3-seater. You can also keep the one arm rest on the side and put the other one either flat on the side or flat in front to make a longer seat.

1. Das 2. muss der Arbeitgeber auch noch willig sein das auszuzahlen. Das passiert kaum. Dazu (aus www.geldfuerdiewelt.de/p/was-kann-d...):

Screenshot: Die Erfahrung aus der Ampel zeigt zudem: Im öffentlichen Dienst, in der Industrie und überall dort, wo Gewerkschaften noch relevanten Einfluss haben, sind die Prämien geflossen. Aber im Gastgewerbe, im Handel, auf dem Bau und in der Landwirtschaft, wo allgemein eher wenig verdient wird, sind die Prämien deutlich seltener geflossen. Wieso beklagt hier keiner die Zielgenauigkeit?

Außerdem waren die Prämien damals Teil der Tarifverhandlungen und sind vielfach erst 2023 und 2024 geflossen, also um Jahre verspätet. Schwarz-Rot will die Prämie aber auf 2026 begrenzen. Ohne anstehende Tarifverhandlungen haben die Gewerkschaften aber keinen Hebel. Heißt: viele Beschäftigte werden wohl leer ausgehen. Dazu kommt, drittens, dass Spitzenverdiener mit höheren Grenzsteuersätzen von der Steuerbefreiung natürlich mehr profitieren als Geringverdiener.

I drew a bad rocket on to the letter and added a spacesuit to my snail stamp and I absolutely love it!

The back of a blue envelope. There is a crude, black felt pen drawing of a sideways space rocket with "Postrakete written on it. It has a round window through which you can see a snail sitting on the control panel. On top of this drawing (so on the side of the rocket) is a stamped snail in red. It has a circle around it's head and a squickly line around his body, which is supposed to be a spacesuit.

Update: it is a nice snack, but it does have the distinctive tofu taste. The texture is not perfect, but good. On its own, it tastes like marinated tofu. In a salad, it's really nice, but I wish it was saltier and had more taste. All in all, I might do it again for salads.

A colorful vegetable salad (tomato, cucumber, bellpepper, red onion and corn) with tofu that looks very crumbly and very feta like.

This is how it looks grated (Minus the cat hair I just spotted. But I'm not taking another photo, since I already grated more cheese.)

One of the vegan parmesan pieces, party grated. The grated cheese looks a similar textures to animal parmesan, although the grated pieces are longer.

Mara@thecatfreaky· Apr 4

I made vegan parmesan! I wasn't feeling well enough, but did it anyway. (Paying for it ever since, but I had the drive and can't do nothing all day.)

Several triangles of vegan parmesan in a glass container. The surface looks smooth, but the piece on the top shows that the consistency is crumbly and a bit flaky, since it has a tiny piece broken off and a rough edge from the container it was made in.

Mara@thecatfreaky· Apr 2

I just HAD to show you (... and since I was already there, I snacked one or two 👀)

A lot of small off white tofu cubes in a container with a watery and oily marinade with a lot of herbs.

Bebi 🥹

A black cat mostly hidden under blue covers, on an orange mattress. Only the head and two paws are visible. The head is a bit stretched. The eyes are a bit open, but relaxed.

I'm so in love with my fountain! #art #pottery (Alt text in replies and theoretically with the video, but idk if it works by now. Short info: it's a cat drinking out of a hand pottered tabletop fountain)
