Once a prolific fanfiction author, I now dabble in writing original stories. Also a music teacher and artist who has taken up crochet due to a hand/wrist arthritis diagnosis. Cat Mum to Robbie and Willow who are threatening to take over this account.

After grabbing some old hair ties to try the dragon scrunchie pattern by 'R.Lynn From The Ashes' I ordered some basic ties to continue playing. Today I made the dark green tie, although I still need to finish the green dragon by making his wings and horns. Then... The possibilities are endless. 😄 🧶

My first 🧶 project developed from a training square back when I started last spring (white hairband) and a more complicated pattern that I struggled to master back then and completed today (purple hairband). Pattern by Bella Coco

When we first got Willow, Robbie wanted nothing to do with her. Took him months to accept her & even recently he'd walk away if she got too close. Today though, I walked into the bedroom to find them like this! SO CUTE! It's made my day! 🤗 #cat #cats #catsofbsky #catsofbluesky #cutecats

We have a big house with loads of comfy spaces, but there's only one place that Willow wants to be. 🤗😺 #cat #cats #catsofbsky #catsofbluesky

Today we celebrate Boxing Day in the UK, so named because cats spend the day exploring empty boxes discarded from Christmas Day*

I started a new #crochet project yesterday - my 1st attempt at creating a pattern with 2 colours. SO challenging for someone who only started in March.
Yesterday I spent more time pulling stitches out than creating them but today's been better. 🧶 A few more rows before the pattern becomes obvious.

Well, I've no idea why I was called in for a 2nd chat about last month's blood tests. Perhaps the GP asked reception to phone me to book an appointment & then decided to phone me anyway. So, it's definitely OA &, as a music teacher, I'm just going to have to deal with it. #arthritis #osteoarthritis

So tomorrow I have a second follow up appointment regarding last month's blood tests. There was one 'raised inflammatory marker' and perhaps tomorrow I might start getting some answers? (yeah, not holding my breath) #arthritis #osteoarthritis (probably?) #mypoorswollenfingers #lifeofamusicteacher

Continuing with this cowl in-between all the Christmas projects and as my arthritis allows.
