All my fabric files are now available to view in my Dropbox folder! tinyurl.ee/AXhGY These can all be printed onto almost any type of fabric, and because I own the files they will never be out of stock 🥰

I do love making coats but after three straight hours of cutting out a million pieces my hand is really sore.
(Baby-wearing coat with a baby panel that can be added front or back, this really is my million pieces item!)

Spent a while convincing an older woman in my pottery class that no, Oxford City Council have not "banned Christmas" and specifically not banned the Christmas Market, which is on RIGHT NOW 🙄

For some reason I keep absolutely endlessly getting adverts for these slackboards. And as a result I now REALLY WANT ONE! But they are expensive so I can't, I can just dream of boinging happily on it 😂 gibbonshop.co.uk/products/bal...

5yo on the way home from school: "Let's pretend this is the time when you and Ellie can't look after me any more and you tell me that I have to go and live with someone else but you don't know who."

I have bought a tripod. 5yo loves and wants it. I said it was mine and not a toy. She has now stuck one of her name stickers on it and smugly showed me this.

I can finally twist and bend without pain so I am back sewing! 🥰 I've missed it. Grateful that my customers have been understanding of the delay (you know who you are 💕) and I definitely made the right decision to go slow and carefully during recovery, because my healing is going super well.

Have written 4000 words including annotating pictures and video about my daughter's "deficits" and I am just. Exhausted.
(Plus another 4k of essays from family members and swimming teachers and so on. Bloody hope her school have done a better direct response than her nursery did.)

Like, the end of the first stage was "yeah seems autistic but we need more wide-ranging evidence, maybe come back in two years, case closed" and we had to do formal "pls unclose and let us submit evidence!" that we WEREN'T ALLOWED TO SUBMIT BEFORE THAT POINT

To fix a problem that doesn't exist, British businesses now have to decide between getting sued by a local bigot funded by JK Rowling, or getting sued by a trans or GNC person and possibly ending up in front of the European Court of Human Rights. They must really love the Labour goverment right now.

I need to share a Tiny Dragon story.
Last week on the 11th when I picked her up from school she told me on the walk home that they had all stood to do the silence "to think about the war".
And then she gave me a full list of all the children who had coughed during the silence.

I will probably talk a bit more about the autism assessment process for 5yo when we're not in the middle of it, but it's been eating about 80% of my emotional capacity for the past few weeks and I hate it.

I'm really struggling with feeling fine *until* I do stuff I feel should be easy, and then I'm sore and need to rest afterwards.

I have been given an A+ in surgery recovery! Been told I still need to take things gently but I got the surgical tapes off and I'm allowed to ride my bike again.
