When on morning walks, particularly early ones, what time is the cutoff for saying good morning chirpily to everyone you come across? 🤔

You know what, though - now that he’s gone I’m actually well pissed off with him, as he interrupted my work flow and that gave my ADHD a chance to sneak in and take my functioning executives down 😭🤦🏻🫠 Ffs.
Just told a guy who came to the door trying to entice us to buy groceries from their doorstep delivery company that he was nice, but not to come back later 🤭
Sometimes it’s better, more respectful, and kinder to just be honest 🤷🏻😅

My job is indeed quite weird 🤭😅
Stitch markers for magpies 😻✨🧶
I fill these by hand, so I can buy in the kinds of fillings that *I* want to see inside glass bauble markers, which also means I can create custom/OOAK ones by mixing pretty stuff together 🥳
My job is actually quite weird, innit? 😅

Trying to decide if I’ve left it too late (12pm) to have a can of Sneak - its caffeine feels less crazy to me than other drinks do somehow - as those buggers are BIG so they take me a long time to sip my way through… 🤭 I might not finish taking in the caffeine until maybe 2pm. Will I sleep tonight?

I finished my first ever blanket last night… 🥹 To clarify, that’s not the first ever blanket I’ve _started_ in my 25 years of crafting (cries in ADHD 😭🫠), but it’s the first one I’ve ever finished 😃
Habitation Throw knitted on 5.5mm needles with DK scraps, all in my own hand dyed yarn 🧶

If I was ever feeling unsure about my decision last year to not use Meta platforms as much (Insta had started to feel really ‘icky’ in an indescribable way), this has certainly made it a lot clearer for me 😳
I kinda like the facts I see to be checked 👌

New scrappy hat cast on! 🧶 I gifted myself one of my Mix Up Bags of 4ply/sock and mohair, and have no idea what this will end up looking like by the end, I do not have much of a colour placement plan 😅🌈 Embracing the weird in this one 🥰

Starting the day with a can of Sneak for breakfast.
**bad** ADHDer... 🫠
However, if this produces the most productive work day I've had in a while (hopefully with no vestibular migraine issues 🤞), I might pop to their website and scoop up some more of their reduced cans 🤭

One of my fave posties just brought me an *absolutely* not essential parcel (an A1 2025 wall calendar) and I feel awful that he’s out in this storm 😭🫠
I hope he enjoyed my bright green avocado Oodie, I’m cosied up inside with Slay The Spire on my Deck while it’s hell out there ☔️

I’m not sure who will find this useful, but I’ve created several curated feeds for the following categories: Indie Dyed Yarn, Handspun Yarn, Sock Knitting, Shawl Knitting, Tatting + Lace, Basketry, and Ikebana. Each picks up specific hashtags outlined in the description. I hope you enjoy!
