Second quilt top of the weekend done! Unfortunately, all of the cutting, sewing, and pressing did my shoulders in, so I'm done for the day.

Ya know how people coach how to stand in a photo so you look thinner/hotter/whatever?

I think someone might need to teach Jenks how to do that.

It's #FwuffapotamusFriday friends! I hope you spent it in whatever way you wanted today. Bear and I had lunch with the kids and then they went for a short walk (it was super cold and windy). I napped off a sinus headache, finished a quilt top, and had a bowl of mac and cheese.

Finished the top!

Happy Thanksgiving! Skitter "helped" me pull the pork for today, and had *7* little forkfuls for herself!

New quilt in progress. This one is pretty simply constructed but the visual effect is super cool. And I love the tiny, super detailed pattern in the one. The solid is actually an aqua color, but I know it kinda looks almost white.

SOMEONE in this house is in trouble / grounded, but I won't name any names...

I was communing with the bees that are enjoying my aster that's still blooming despite hard freezes and saw this one. I snapped a pic and he turned to me with this expression of "What is wrong with you? Do you not see me trying to eat here?!" (Seriously - zoom in!) 😅

I'm late for #FwuffapotamusFriday because I'm banned from screens. I'm just hopping on for a sec to post the pics because I'm allowed short stints now as long as my symptoms don't get worse.

She truly is the weirdest cat.

I'm going to take a hot (not too hot because it can jack up the concussion symptoms) and do some gentle stretching and take a nap. I definitely didn't sleep well last night.

But the most important thing about this stupidly long post? The strawberry - banana - Nutella crepes were delicious!

My friends, I'm so sorry I didn't post for #FwuffapotamusFriday yesterday! I was fried after a crazy week.
But here is Skitterboo in all of her fwuffa glory.

It's that time, everyone! Let's celebrate #FwuffapotamusFriday together!

Skitterboo hasn't slept in her bed in months and it's been making me so sad. But today she slept in it! I played with some AI on Samhain just for fun. Skitterboo does love her basket so much. Drunk kitten weekend!

Ah, hell, friends. My grandcat, FitzJiji was busted at the New Year for petty larceny.

Now, this week, he was caught by a red-light camera speeding and driving recklessly.

I keep hoping he'll get back on the straight and narrow!

Would anyone like some ice cream?

Jenksie has two specials today - Shrimp paste and matcha gelato and a delightful spider and cricket sorbet.

Don't think I've ever shared Skitterboo's manners. Her Dad taught her to "say please" if she wants to go outside several years ago and she still does it perfectly! 🩵😍🩵😻

Come on, y'all. Let's just be honest with each other.

Sometimes you just need to smack the stupid out of someone.

Sometimes you just need to have a quiet dinner with your Boo. Share some salmon, chat about chasing mice in the garden.
October 22, 2025 at 12:02 AM
I keep trying to get back, I promise!

But it's still a good day for a #FwuffapotamusFriday right?

Ice, Ice, Baby!

Thank you! I'm excited. Just finished a d washed it today.

New quilt top. It'll be backed in black, bound in the floral. The line of fabrics is called Night Garden, and I just love it.
September 27, 2025 at 12:52 AM
Scratching and scraping my way into #FwuffapotanusFriday while Skitterboo keeps trying to high five her bfd through the monitor.

Wishing love, peace, and joy to my friends. I may not be here as much as I'd like but every one of you has been on my mind. 🩵🩵🩵

Everyone loves a good #FwuffapotamusFriday to start the weekend off right!
