This is probably going to end in tears.

She/her, queer. Fandom, tea, fountain pens, cats, embroidery, and general nerdery.

Come back after you turn 18. You can also find me at AO3, Tumblr, DW, and probably a few other places under this username.
I reckon this snow day was unnecessary as hell but I'm not actually complaining that they cancelled work from an overabundance of caution.
Snow day snow day snow day ❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️

Back to sleep for me!

*More* snow tonight? Two to four inches? And then it’s going to be cold as Satan‘s Ninth Circle balls this weekend?

I have never understood snowbirds as well as I do in this moment.

Bilbo looking at the Ring and saying "After all, why shouldn't I?" only it's me looking at a cold, wet December evening and contemplating going to bed at 7 p.m.

Lady, if I could make this process faster by getting out and pushing I would, but it takes the time it takes. We would be making better time if you’d gotten me the paperwork I asked for when I asked for it before thanksgiving, though, I can tell you that for free.

Three hours later, I emerge from the fugue state that comes from having to convert a layout from one program to another. Hyperfocus is a hell of a drug.

Pratchett. Either Night Watch or Carpe Jugulum.
omg. Kat Abughazaleh just posted that if she's elected, she'll swear in on a copy of Octavia Butler's Parable of the Sower.

If you were elected to public office (never mind whether you'd ever actually run), what book would you swear in on?

The horrible wet sandpaper scraping noises of a cat getting High As Balls on her beloved catnip banana.

Monday morning is grim enough without snow, and yet here we are.

I remember your dogs, LiveJournal friends. The dogs that brought us together are all gone now, but I remember them, yours and mine.

Ista wanted very, very badly to help me wind up some skeins of DMC, and I had to keep ejecting her from my lap. So she went and curled up with her back very pointedly to me and a set of airplane ears to make sure I would know she was mad.

Sometimes you need a quick and easy project. This one is the winter iteration of the same base pattern.

I am home again, and the cats don’t care about me but are fascinated by the leftover turkey i brought back with me.

It’s so satisfying to have my mom look at my work and nod and say, “You do very nice work.” She does fantastic work herself so it means just a little bit more coming from her.

I was looking at my gallery of finished objects and I’ve done a lot since starting this hobby last Thanksgiving! 😂

Annnnnnnd done!

Progress photo!

If I were to do this again, I’d do the flowers in four ply rather than six, but c’est la vie.

Final progress report for the day, since the sun is down and took the light with it.
