Well, I've just nuked my twitter profile so I'm now on here permanently

So hi! I'm Steph, I love to art and occasionally write and ramble about everything from Lotr to Dragon Age to ice hockey πŸ’œ
This is probably the nearest tension guage I have yet to crochet - whoever thought of stitch markers is a genius

Now to start on the hat when I get home later :3

Aaaand that means no hot water to do the washing up with - dammit

Thank god for the kettle I suppose

Would have to be this time of the year with when the boiler chooses to stop working πŸ™ƒ

Half finished tension guage - in surprised how neat this is looking so far
November 23, 2025 at 2:05 PM
New crochet project cos the blanket is taking me forever - just working on the tension guage first

This I think will be the first time I've actually followed a pattern and I hope it turns out okay

Praying I remember to actually use my stitch markers this time or this is gonna be one wonky hat XD

Trying to figure out my tension gauge isn’t reaching 4x4 inches and then realised I can literally chain stitches until it measures 4” across

Why did I not realise this before, I’m such a dumbass πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ

One thing I miss about living in the Midlands is that you'd get a period of heavy snow every now then XD
November 20, 2025 at 3:04 PM
Yeah, I was waiting for a bus at Derriford this morning and it started to snow a bit, shame it doesn't seem to have stuck around

Got to hear my baby's heartbeat today at my midwifery appointment and it was such a surreal experience

Further proof that there is indeed a little human growing inside me πŸ₯°
November 20, 2025 at 11:24 AM
I'm honestly surprised I got any snow at all with how rare it is for where I live to get snow XD
November 20, 2025 at 10:38 AM
Wait Plymouth actually got snow?

Tho tbf I live on a giant hill on the outskirts of the city close to Dartmoor, I shouldn't be too surprised

But that's gonna make getting to my midwifery appointment interesting if it keeps falling and sticking
November 20, 2025 at 6:31 AM
That be a lot of snow! We only got a light dusting so far which is honestly more then I expected for where I live
November 20, 2025 at 6:29 AM
Oh damn these are cute, I love the Flyers one!

If these are still available when I get paid at the end of the week I’m very tempted to get one πŸ‘€

Ah good old, soft foods diet how I have not missed you πŸ˜‚

Just had yoghurt as the first I’ve eaten since a banana this morning to show that I could keep food down so I could escape hospital, and even though it’s soya yoghurt it tasted amazing

Probably cos it’s the first thing I’ve properly eaten since Sunday evening

Artists! Qoute with your night art 🌌

Still time to go find an NHS dentist and look at getting that other wisdom tooth removed before it goes the same way
November 18, 2025 at 11:18 AM
Also I should mention that my fiancé has been an absolute star through all this, from nursing me at my worst yesterday to helping me get to a&E and staying by my side the whole time despite having to go to work at half 5 this morning ❀️
November 18, 2025 at 11:18 AM
Now to spend the day resting so hopefully I can return to work tomorrow and not lose any more pay
November 18, 2025 at 11:18 AM
Welp after a not so fun night of being in A&E and then the maternity ward for IV fluids and anti-sickness meds and discharged at 2am in the morning, I made it to my dental appointment this morning and the annoying wisdom tooth has been removed
November 18, 2025 at 11:18 AM
Aaaand I've not been able to keep anything down including painkillers (and at this point I even tried Calpol)

I'm in so much pain and at a loss what to do and at this rate I can see ending up in A&E 😭
November 17, 2025 at 5:57 PM
Meanwhile the pain somehow feels worse then the dental abscess I had last year where my face swelled, and now I've reached vomiting stage which definitely tells me this is a tooth infection
November 17, 2025 at 10:34 AM
Oh boi, can't get an NHS dental appointment until tomorrow (Devon is well known for the shortage of NHS dental appointments so unfortunately I'm not surprised)
November 17, 2025 at 10:34 AM
Never going private for treatment again, was a total rip off
