What a fab collage, love it! 😻 Feline Greetings on this most special of days from Raffles. #InternationalCatDay #Caturday #CatsOfBluesky

Raffles, a lovely calico cat, sits at the top of garden steps. She is surrounded by greenery as she sniffs the morning air.

Just give her a piece of cardboard and she's happy as Larry 😂 my little loaf. #Raffles #Caturday #CatsOfBluesky

Turned in a #FinishedObject for display in the student show for our local open studios. My weird little art doll, Celeste. Various techniques including #embroidery, #needlefelting, #weaving and #cyanotype.

Close up of doll's head. She is made from denim, her hair is made up of needle felted balls, she wears a necklace of stars.

Doll made from denim, with sashiko style embroidery on body. She has a woven bag with silk ribbon straps, with silver stars inside and out. Her hair is made from needle felted balls.

Brown luggage label with text: "Celeste has two sides: night and day, sun and moon. She walks among the planets, scattering stars from her sky-stitched bag, laughing as they twirl away into the dark."

Look at this silly sausage. #Caturday

Raffle, a calico cat, sits in a cardboard box that is clearly too small for her.

Thank you so much to @waking-kraken.bsky.social for my lovely #TheArchers themed badges, especially the bonus cider club one! 😊

3 badges inspired by Radio 4's #TheArchers. One reads "Spiritual Home Kate Aldridge" and has a funky mushroom image. Another has an image of a badger and the words "the safe word is", and the 3rd has an image of a bottle with the words "Eddie's Cider Club".

Today's needlework, a small sample square of hitomezashi #sashiko #embroidery. The pattern is known as chain cross stitch, or square measure stitch. Worked in pearl cotton.

Sending all the best from me and my older girl, Raffles. It can be so hard sometimes, because we love them so much.

In an effort to avoid doomscrolling, today I channelled energies into #stitching my #handsewn boro bag. The first finished object in a while. #TextileArt #embroidery #handmade

A handsewn bag with blue, red gold and grey patches, covered in running stitch, sashiko style.

The bag lies on a green cutting mat. A fabric tape measure also lies on the mat.

Happy 12th birthday to Raffles, she really is the sweetest girl. #CatsOfBluesky #Caturday

Raffles, a gorgeous calico cat, lies on a concrete garden step. She has her eyes closed and is enjoying the sunshine.

Thank you, Johanna. I fear the lovely early blooming cherry tree in my garden has taken a battering, but it was blooming beautiful a few days ago!

As a descendant of a refugee who arrived here on the Kindertransport, the Labour Party's policies on immigration and asylum seekers repulse and frighten me. I reject the politics of fear and hatred. I want equality, fairness, hope and humanity. So I've joined @greenparty.org.uk 💚

If you're arriving at #HebdenBridge and wondering about the whiff, Yorkshire Water were pumping shit into the River Calder for nearly 24 hours.

Screenshot from sewage map.co.uk. There is a map of the Henden Bridge area and a graphic with information about a Yorkshire Water discharge of sewage into the River Calder from 02/03/2026 11.10am to 03/03/2026 9.36am

Spotted a Muscovy duck snoozing on the bank of the Rochdale Canal earlier. #HebdenBridge

Good morning. 💚💚💚 #Green

What colours are the yarns? I have started knitting socks again, after a long hiatus. I find it very soothing.

My dear girl, Raffles, has had a lot to say about moving house this week. She may forgive me... One day.... #Caturday #CatsOfBluesky

Raffles, a cute calico cat, sits on top of her cat tree. She looks at the camera, captured mid-meow. Behind her is a dark coloured cupboard and shelf,with plants and packed boxes.

Zoë@bogglekittenz· Jan 26

I have to sneak up on Raffles while she's snoozing, in order to apply the flea treatment. Otherwise, if she smells it (which she can from the other side of the room), she bolts. Photo for cat tax.

Raffles says hi.

This is my first garlic #ferment, and, of course, I've had to test a clove before using it in a curry. Tastes great, but won't be able to speak directly to anyone for about a week.

Friends fear she has bought a banjolele! Any fellow #ukulele or #banjo enthusiasts know anything about it? It was sold to me on ebay as Thomann, but I think it may be an older style Musikalia (Italian made?).

Zoë@bogglekittenz· Jan 17

Nice whiskers, Raffles. #Caturday

Wrong 'un. #TheArchers

A screenshot from the Facebook group, "Radio 4. It's not just for the middle aged". The poster (name redacted) has made a post with what I assume is a representation of themselves (woman with grey hair, wearing sunglasses, waving 2 thumbs up, in some sort of cornfield).. The text of the post reads "Hi. I'm new to this group. I recently joined because I love listening to Radio 4. (Apart from The Archers...)

A Merry #Catmas to all who celebrate. Raffles is enjoying one of her new catnip sardines. 😼🙀😻

The lovely Raffles, a female calico cat, looks at the camera. She has been captured mid-squawk, with her mouth open, as she half-sits , half-lies on the light terracotta tiles on the kitchen floor. She is looming over a small, green, catnip-filled sardine, which is about to get a pummeling.

"Hello, and where is my dinner?" #Raffles

Raffles, a beautiful female calico cat, sits on a wooden chair, with a grey velvet seat. She has wonderful whiskers. She fixes the photographer with a soulful gaze, that speaks of her earnest desire to eat her 5pm dinner.
