Little brother's almost done! This photograph really captured his energy when he was a kid (he's much more chill nowadays.)

Long time no post! Today I'm getting started on an embroidered Christmas gift for my parents.

In celebration of my new (second-hand) mobility aid, I made this little drawing.

Figgy is going to be so upset when I eventually put that dilapidated box and towel in the bin.
Figgy, a ginger and white feral cat, lies on his side in the dirt with his head resting on the sagging side of an old box with a filthy towel in it. The box and towel have both clearly been rained on.

I’m cat-sitting my former fosters Aki and Sam this week. It’s so lovely to be able to see how happy they are in their forever home. (Pictured: Aki)

Kiddo did my nails, so I’m feeling pretty glam.
A picture of a hand, fingers splayed. The nails have been very messily painted a bright pinky-red by an outstanding three year old.

I got to have some fun at a paint & sip class last night with my mum and sister.
A smiling selfie with my head tilted to show off the painting behind me. The painting shows the silhouettes of houses against a bright background, covered in splattered paint. Three people (me, my mum, and my younger sister) stand together, displaying their paintings, all of which show the silhouettes of houses against a sunset background.

I spent the day at my friend’s place, working on a commission while she finished up her last day of work for the year, but as soon as I sat down at home Digby had to reclaim his spot on my lap.
Digby, a brown and white tabby cat, lies on his human’s lap, with his eyes squinted in contentment.

My favourite time of day is when my foster boy, Tippet, emerges from his safe zone under my bed to sniff the early evening air.

Old lady Peggy is absolutely delighted that her plan to literally dig and yell me out of bed for breakfast worked.
Peggy, a grey tabby cat with gorgeous green eyes, loafs on her human’s lap and seems to be smiling at the camera. She is happy that she got what she wanted and forced her human to wake up and get out of bed to give her wet food for breakfast, despite having a bowl full of biscuits right next to her wet food bowl.

I’m a disabled artist, and my embroidery commissions are currently open. I will not only embroider any cat, but all embroidery pieces will inevitably include at least a few strands of my cats’ fur.
