Catten living her best life
Break time after morning's emotional support weaving & spinning, then brunch, then back to music production (indoors) now that it's no longer ass o' clock and BRAAAAAMS won't wake people.

I don't know that I'm going to get all that far into today's to-do list but that's not a reason not to try...

Today's emotional support spinning: IxChel's guanaco blend (Guanaco 60%, Mulga Silk 25%, Cashmere 12%, Angora Bunny 3%). Fountain pen for ~scale, not integral to the spinning process!

M5stack Cardputer v.1.1 as a handheld writerdeck (using VoidNoi's BadCard).
(I have wrecked hands & wrecked health, so v lightweight + physical buttons were desiderata for something I can use when stuck in bed. On a v bad day, I keep dropping my *phone* because it's too heavy.)

a.k.a. literally too damn cheap to spend $200+ USD (!) on a warping board when I already own a laundry rack.
I could do the trigonometry to get a specific warp length (especially with additional pegs etc) but frankly I'm too lazy and for my purposes it doesn't much matter.

Today's emotional support spinning WIP, IxChel's Viva Frida Churro Agave Blend (Navajo Churro Sheep 70%, Agave Cactus Fibres 20%, Cashmere 5%, Angora Bunny 5%). I don't know why I'm surprised this spins like ramie (although I'm not wet-spinning as I would with ramie).

I may never be good at my zillion hobbies but that's no reason not to try! Also I'm killing time in the waiting room of the world's nicest dental practice. :3

M5stack Cardputer: world's cutest microcontroller rig, hoping to use for plain text handheld drafting on days I'm bedridden. Maybe also ESPForth? Onboard mic and speakers, can act as a voice. Could be fun to try coding a smol sampler/sequencer for it as a learning project!

M5stack Cardputer: So dang cute and the road to microcontroller heck will be paved with ESP32Forth?! Assuming I can make the keys beep less loudly and/or adjust onboard audio playback.
(Why handheld form factor for drafting: my hands are fscked. Also I am incapable of leaving a hobby unhobbied.)

I told my husband that the spinning wheel and looms (Saori WX60 floor loom, Clover Sakiori table loom) are the world's most overkill fidget devices and he's all "THEY MAKE YOU SO HAPPY PLZ CONTINUE :3"
That said, I'm going to be processing 10+ lbs raw alpaca (local farmer) through 2026 /o\

Emotional support weaving: handspun from IxChel's possum blend (tawny) to IxChel's CHITIN blend (the whitish weft - Superfine Merino 60%, Chitin 30%, Cashmere 5%, Angora Bunny 5%). The chitin blend makes distressingly lovely yarn - "distressingly" because now I want more tops for spinning...

Emotional support weaving: the grey weft is handspun IxChel wallaby blend, the tawny stuff (a couple rows) in the shuttle now is IxChel possum blend. I'm not sure I can spin fast enough but this is emotional support fiber, not production. :3
(My husband will not judge me too hard, promise!)
