Today in (a different to normal) Libraryland ... ... Another entry in what could well be a series of "disconcerting chairs with signs". #libraryland #chair #library #publiclibrary #ohno

Today in Libraryland ... #libraryland #bookface #thegenerals #books #bigchin

I said that I wasn't going to make more plush animals for a while, but here we are ... She will be a deer once she has a nose and her ears and antlers are sewn on. I have such weird, mossy, woodsy plans for her! I want to say I'm branching out, but without the pun ... 😏 #handmade #plush #deer

Yesterday, a friend had bought me a cute oddish print from a fayre and asked how many oddishes I have. This many ... I think it's now the sort of obsession that can be studied. I realised I also forgot the plant pots and the crocheted guy. #pokemon #oddish #collection #obsessed

And then there were three ... Today I finished Edward (fox - short for Edward F--ckyhands because I had issues); he's joining Ivy (possum) and Goat (because I still haven't named her). The glasses need more work (or skill, possibly). #handmade #plush #fox #possum #goat #sewing

Animal #3 is this (currently pinned together) fox! The weather has been too much to focus on anything for very long, but this guy has been coming along for a few days now. #sewing #fox #plush #handmade

We have a new outfit! ✨ I've been a bit slower the past few weeks (super busy and was waiting for fabric). This outfit will be for someone else, but for now the goat is modelling again. #sewing #goat #plushie #handmade #clothing

This morning's goldfinch 🥰 (There were 2, but I missed one grabbing my phone and trying to focus the zoom out of the kitchen window 😅) #badbirdphotography #goldfinch #birds #uk #garden

Another shirt down on the sewing project. Technically I don't have an animal for it until my fabrics arrive. For now, goat is a model. These Primark sheets have good mileage as fabric ... #handmade #sewing #crafts #goat

Also today in Libraryland... ... Presented with 0 context, as the best things in Libraryland should. CRABS! #library #libraryland #crabs #origami

Today in Libraryland... ... It was hot. And I had my most disastrous rhyme time yet. Everyone cried. One threw up everywhere. There was toothpaste somehow. In sewing news, the new unnamed goat now has a sunflower dress. #libraryland #crafts #sewing #plush #handmade #goat

Today's update of "I'm depressed and this is helping, maybe?" - I made this goat! More clothes!! I get paid tomorrow so I'm going to do a big supplies order! #sewing #crafts #handmade #goat #plush

🪡 Another possum update! I had a break of a few days as I've been back at work this week, but just finished the skirt! Still not hating sewing things yet 😏. #possum #sewing #crafts #handmade #plush

Today in Libraryland... On my first day back from leave I made this comically enormous library card that we apparently needed for "reasons". I'd suspect hazing if I hadn't been there for 2 years. #libraryland #library #librarycard #books #workday

She now has a big, comfy cloak and a dress, half of a skirt and a hat (that I borrowed from the frog)! 😅 Once all the basics are done, I'll try decorating! This week off has been spent mostly sewing and reading because it was too rainy for gardening. #sewing #opossum #plush #handmade

This weekend I sewed this little lady 🥰. It's the first more challenging project I've attempted and will eventually have a whole wardrobe!! Weirdly proud of her 😅. #sewing #opossum #plush #handmade

Today in Libraryland, I was making crime scene tape for a #NationalCrimeReadingMonth display while about to break out the rainbows too. Then my first customer of the day opened with: "Where's your toilet? I need a big shit." #libraryland #mondays

This week has been mostly reading in the garden, escaping the heat and taking photos of bees (and work, obviously). #bees #nature

The irises are back. This one opened up in the space of a day. The one from yesterday is already fading. They're beautiful 🥰 #garden #peaceful #iris #flower

I will never get tired of watching these little guys 🥰. The garden is getting nicer bit by bit and this Bank Holiday Monday is being spent drinking tea, reading, and trying to stop the dog from terrorising the big pigeon 😅 (I put her inside briefly so he could drink).

Less successful, but not deterred. Oddish was inevitable. I didn't have a pattern (may make one), but learned what to change next time. Highlight: the dog smearing eye paint everywhere with her tail ... (Have now bought red eyes) I want a tiny one! #oddish #crafts #sewing #pokemon

This morning (not in Libraryland), I made some sort of little goat thing ... Depression crafting, I think 😉. Hopefully our house will not end up filled with these weird little guys. #crafts #sewing #goat

Today Libraryland was very, very busy, so I came home and made this little guy 😅. It was meant to be a test, but I love his giant hat and stupid face 🥹🐸. I haven't sewn anything since I was little. The flapping butterfly crafts all worked too! 🥰 #libraryland #frog #sewing

Today in Libraryland, we started our history project; trying to recreate photos from 60 years ago when the library was refurbished with similar angles today. Still lots more to do, but we need the library to be empty ideally. This was fun 🥰.

Today in Libraryland ... ... We were cleaning out an office drawer. *Items found separately. (The tub behind it was even more random items) #libraryland

Spent the afternoon rage re-planting one of the flower beds after one of the kids decided to eat my muesli straight out of the bag while walking around and got the bits everywhere... ... Stu made a friend though who just would not leave him alone 😅. #thebeemovie2 #gardeningtherapy

Today in Libraryland... ... This has to be deliberate, right? #library #libraryland

Followup: "Still Life in Library Basement With Milk Bottle" - 2026. As far as we know this is the same pumpkin from last Halloween posted as unusual on December 5th 2025 ... Today is the 22nd April 2026. Something strange is going on here. #libraryland #pumpkin #library

📚 Reading Diary: Today (or actually the 16th March) I finished book 6 of 2026: The Bedlam Stacks - Natasha Pulley. #natashapulley #thebedlamstacks #readingdiary #booksof2026
