I think Robbie's trying to tell me something. 😄😼 #cat #catsofbsky #dattailtho

That's enough hair accessories for a while. Time to return to my larger projects. 🧶 #crochet

A fun little hair tie I made. I plan to make another with longer and more numerous springs. #crochet 🧶 #hair

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 cat scarf so far. I'm now getting the hang of working with the two colours. 🧶 #crochet Pattern by CrochetByEla on ETSY.

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* *This may not be true

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.

A couple of Christmas presents for the cats. Great that it's no sewing and I loved making the tails 🧶 #crochet #cattoys #catsofbsky mummajcrochet.com

One more bit of Christmas #crochet this year. Decided to decorate my bannisters and am now playing around and making some curly tendrils. Will add more as I go. #christmascrochet

Yoga With Robbie: Level = Advanced. I call this move 'Wow!' 😼 Any other cats want to try it (would not recommend for the average human)

My #crochet Christmas Sprouts are coming along nicely and the little gift boxes just arrived. All a bit different as I worked to perfect the pattern. Don't cover these sprouts in gravy! 🧶🌱🎁

What a bracing morning of exercise. I walked to and from this morning's class in a storm only to find broken windows when I got there. First time I've kept my jumper on for the whole session. #StormDarragh

Yoga with Robbie (and Willow): Let's try pose 1 again but this time grab a friend and synchronise. An easy pose for cats so we'd love to see your efforts in the replies. 😸 #catyoga #yogawithrobbie #cat #catsofbsky #catsofbluesky #dattailtho

It's the Christmas Concert today. I'll spend most of the day trying to get 29, 6 - 11 year olds to play their penny whistles, recorders, flutes and clarinet together before the afternoon performance. JINGLE BELLS, JINGLE BELLS .... 😟🙉 #pityme #mypoorears #fineitsfine #thelifeofamusicteacher
