Good morning from me and this tiny shark. I actually got work done on my dress last night. All cut out, darts sewn, shoulders gathered and seen, side seams sewn. I should get more done tonight. The husband is back too, so I actually slept properly. Win!

Finished my daughter's jacket. Didn't get anything done after that. Hoping I have the energy after work to start something. Tiny cat was back mocking Plum yesterday. He wasn't best pleased.

Hubby is away walking up a big hill, so I stayed up late last night playing #bg3 Have woken up to the awful news, and just want to cry. Instead I have to get my daughter's jacket finished, and hope I have enough time left to make a dress for me. I can do this...

Went to the city today with my two offspring and a couple of friends for #Edinburghpride Lovely seeing all the support for the trans community

Currently melting. I didn't move to Scotland for this nonsense. #toohot

The little cat is back. Plum is mad about it.

The #cats are too warm. I am too warm. It's too warm.

A small black cat has started invading our gardens, and keeps trying to get in. My cats have made no attempt to scare her away. She was rather interested in me sewing last night.

Looks like we have a busy schedule with @devilligan.bsky.social and @neilnewbon.bsky.social this week. Adorable art by @shadowmila.bsky.social Fingers crossed it should be Cazador time

This morning I stood on a drawing pin. Rubbish. My work bestie came round this afternoon. Yay! Had to sew difficult fabric. Boo. New episode of #D3 yay!

Fun fact. When you make a #crochet top using the recommended yarn, they turn out how they're supposed to! Pattern is Lily top by Passioknit

Today's choice of #Godzilla film is Destroy all Monsters. This is a favourite of the hubby's from when he was a kid. I'm enjoying the retro future costumes.

Arrrgh! I was going to cut out the jacket I'm making for my daughter today, but there's a sticky mark on the fabric. I've got in touch with the place I bought it from, but now I have to wait. Back to doing dome crochet instead.

The laundry is comfy

This doesn't bode well for the future of home sewing. I'm lucky enough to have experience making my own patterns, but this is where most of us started.

Shogun needed a new collar, so we picked him out a dapper tweed bow tie. My hubby insisted on getting Plumbogummite a bow too so he didn't feel left out. #cats

Just got my portrait that Doctor Geof started for me at goth weekend. He's not on here, but has Instagram www.instagram.com/doctorgeof?i... if you want to check out his goth and steam punk comics, and he also did a comic for warhammer 40k. Warning, some of his stuff is a bit naughty #art

Well I was 20 minutes behind because of kitten related delays, but that was so much fun. Looking forward to the next episode.

Today was spent visiting my bestie's kittens. Two of them fell asleep in my daughter's hat 🩷🖤🩷

Me to husband: 'I have to watch this live stream, they're going after Cazador' Neil: Kitty!

Woke up in the middle of the night. Good news, my husband seems to be sleeping after a few sleepless nights with germs. Bad news... I appear to have caught his germs. Sigh.

Plumbogummite won't win any awards for intelligence. #cats

Actually picked up some crochet for the first time in months. Plum is curious, but so far hasn't attacked my yarn. I doubt it will stay that way. #crochet #cats

This morning I've been pulling apart my second 1930s wardrobe so we can actually get it up our 1950s stairs. Screws are currently having a wd40 bath. Really looking forward to getting all my clothes properly hung. #vintagefurniture

Playing #bg3 and drinking mead

And this is how we watched Shin Godzilla #Godzilla

Cat spam! #cats
