All of the cats are finally sort of getting along. Gremlin, the baby, thinks she needs to chase and pounce on the old ones, which til now has required forced separation from Tippy. 😅

Using every one of my brain cells to figure out how to fit this diva from Sex, Lies, and Videotape into a tapestry crochet chart without losing his face.

Extremely envious of a name as cool as Longshore Lamb.

Ever have a dream that is so funny that you want to share it with the whole world, but you can't because it's probably very offensive? Anyway, I clipped the end of last night's because I have to at least share this part:

This #letterboxdfriday I realized Gladiator wasn't as bad as I remembered, or maybe I hadn't hit puberty yet the first time around and needed to see Joaquin Phoenix in eyeliner again.

I have entered row 16 out of 150 for my Nana Osaki fair isle crochet. This is my first big big project, so I sure hope it works out. I'll be several hours deep before I feel sure about it. 🥲

Oh hey, I didn't realize there were two Farmers' Almanacs. This is actually the one we had, so this is some good news. Still sad for the other ending their 200+ year run.

This weekend's yarn stash busting project has been getting through three skeins of Big Twist Winter I found at the bottom of the tub. I have just enough left to make a matching scarf. 🎄

Slowly but surely, I'm still unpacking. The most fun is finding things I forgot I had like the Bentley on the right.
