Happy Friday! I bring you everyone’s favourite embroidery animation; Nonbinary Office Bat!
It’s so funny to me that I keep seeing the OUTSIDE of windows fogging up because it’s hot outside and air conditioned inside. The opposite of what I’m used to seeing in winter. You can really tell I’m not used to Brisbane anymore with observations like these :P

Went to a dance class after work that was a little too difficult for me. There was a supportive teen giving me tips and it’s so funny to me that she’s never going to see me there again and she’ll think it’s because I gave up and not know that I just live in another city 😂

I always think that food is a bad way for me to deal with stress and I need to find other methods. Until I’m stressed and then I’m glad to have a little cheat code to hack my nervous system.

I’ve been to two Absolute Beginner Ballet classes this week in Brisbane, both taught by different teachers. One was true to its name, the other was more like Beginner Ballet for Confident Beginners Who Already Know Things. Lucky for me, that’s the perfect level haha.

I wish Queensland would participate in daylight saving because having the sun rise around 4:30am is ridiculous

Everyone: When you moved back to Australia, why did you move to Melbourne and not Brisbane where your family is?
Me: My husband can’t handle the humidity
Me in Brisbane: Oh I *also* cannot handle the humidity anymore 🫠

My favourite thing to wear at my wedding was my wedding veil. You’d think you only have one opportunity to wear it but since mine is black, I’ve also worn it for three Halloweens 🖤✨

Decided to organize my threads last night, which is a bit of an undertaking but very satisfying.

I wonder if Australia would be more into Halloween if we moved it to our Autumn instead of sticking with October 31st and having Spring Halloween

I’d love to compete in a competitive handicrafts show. I love watching that kind of show and I’m a fast embroiderer, but mostly I just think it would be fun.

A friend told me about mary jane style Hokas and I have never bought a pair of shoes SO FAST. Especially because they’re red and pink??? Can’t wait for these to arrive so I can make them my shoes of the summer.

I had my best ever jazz dance class tonight. I remembered all the steps (more or less) and hit things mostly on the beat. The instructor grabbed my arm at the end to excitedly tell me that I’m improving. I’m high on dance now

I keep buying clothes since I’ve moved back to Australia. Everything is just brighter, more colourful, and I’ve been able to actually try on all these items in person before buying. The plus size clothing scene here isn’t perfect but def having a better experience than Vancouver

I successfully stopped biting my nails (because I chipped a tooth!!) and I miss my little nubbins. My nails look so nice but I hate the sensation of having them.

Made a bear for my niece’s new baby. It matches the bear I made for her first baby, but a different colour

Found four four leaf clovers yesterday! There was also a palm sized clover on the other side of the fence that I’m very sad I couldn’t get

Embroidered a cardigan for my sister. It was such a soft and stretchy fabric that I needed to back it with felt so my stitching wouldn’t warp the designs I’d made.
