An intro!

I'm Naomi: whimsy-seeker, crafter, painter and embroidery artist. I also quad skate and play games. I seek whimsy and will usually overthink (why do I feel like I'm writing a dating profile?).

Interested in therapy and the arts which is where I'm planning to forge a path.

A gouache painting of a male pigeon with his feathered puffed up. The pigeon is grey with iridescent feathers on his chest and wings. The background is solid light pink.

An embroidered landscape of foliage in various shades of green in the foreground and a sunset in the background. The sunset is swirling with purples, yellows, blues and pinks. The embroidery is in a wooden hoop with a black ribbon at the top tied in a bow.

A woman from the chest up wearing a white lace top. She is holding her arms up to her head as if stretching, with both elbows bent to the side. Her hair is dyed rainbow colours and her eyes are closed tightly, with her face crinkled.

A tangle of large, muted-coloured fairy lights sits on a brown and green scarf. The scarf is sitting on someone's lap, whose legs are in the background stretched out on the ground. The ground is covered in brown leaves and foliage.

Moved into my new house today. Where do things go? Unpack... How?

Also the only plug socket in my room doesn't work 🙃😭

This is fine.

Ooh okay that does sound a smart way to consume dramas, I hadn't thought of that xD

There's not a story as such but it's like a character piece. The story is in how each of them perceive each other and why, how they defend or confirm that perception. And I also like seeing the individual people and watching them figure themselves and each other out. But it is a weird concept!

If they kill her I'm going to be heartbroken, she needs to make it to the end

I think it taps into a desire to be sneaky; I love the idea of being a traitor. I find the psychology of it really interesting!

Ruth Codd being all 'Jonathan Ross you little bitch I will kill you in both this game and real life' is everything.

Anyone have mug cake recipes that actually work? I made a cinnamon one that is both over and underdone.

Being reminded today that my anxiety truly is "off the wall" at the moment and that time is required. I hate when other people are right (but also appreciate it because I cannot be trusted to be right atm 😂)

#blobtober next prompt, cat. Enjoyed this, fun to just play and not think.

A close up of a sketchbook page showing a Greek watercolour blob with a spikey cat drawn over it in orange pencil. Above it is a purple and yellow watercolour blob with skulls drawn over it in purple.

All I need is ghosts it's true

Naomi @thatteacat.bsky.social · 14d

My lil York ghosts all packed up for moving house 🥰 Cameo from @prudenceandthecrow.bsky.social where I got the Night Creeps skeleton prancing in the background.
#yorkghost

Two small boxes sitting on a dark wooden desk. Each box has a small hole cut out near the top, and a green and pink ceramic ghost head is visible through each hole. The boxes say "BOO". In the background is an A4 black and white cartoon skeleton and a piece of driftwood.

Traitors Celebrity starts tonight and I am so excited 😁😭 Traitors is the show I am always most excited about, I haven't been this excited about TV since the early X Factor days (I was a child).
