Honestly thought this was sanitary towels v period pants

And then I started doing my ironing and this top was the first thing I picked up!

Me, I’d go for something like a soft pink, mustard, and forest green!

Well, #botober #botober2025 may be over, but my niece and nephews had me continuing the conceptual illustration theme with this pizza pumpkin!
Pumpkin with pepperoni eyes and a dripping cheese tongue (it’s not puke, honestly!)

31. Orenge gelatin hourse
I reckoned orenge was a yellowy orange, and a hourse was a house shaped like a horse! (And I dreamed about horse-drawn hearses last night - was that connected? 🤣)
#botober #botober2025
A wibbly wobbly orange horse shaped like a Dala horse, with highlights to show it’s made of shiny jelly. The space under its legs is filled with a red door, and in its body are two windows. The curtains in them have patterns based on the painted designs on Dala horses

Had a very cool dream two nights ago
We were Blake's 7. Amanda was Jenna, Jill was Cally, I was just me, and there were Blake and Gan. Our ship was like serenity and I'd got it for us. It was massive inside though. Blake and Gan had got infected with something that caused a glowing reddish orb above the head which started the size of a marble and grew massive and weakened the person til they died. We were on a backwoods planet (equivalent to earth in the 90s). I realised a university attached to a museum would have the antidote. We looked up the phone book to see where it was. Luckily it had a 3D model map inside, but the layout was very confusing as Jenna and I walked through. We stole coats and hats from the cloakroom to disguise ourselves. Eventually we found the biological sciences section of the museum which adjoined the biology labs. We hid from scientists, stole the antidote, dumped the coats and hats, and strolled out the gates as the police drove in. We got back to the ship and administered the antidote to everyone (there was a whole classroom of children and their teacher too) Gan (who was also called Peter) didn't believe he was cured, as the glowing orbs didn't show up in mirrors and he didn't believe us. We left him to it, and returned to the main area of the ship, finding snacks along the way like chocolate brownies and tablet.

My bathroom makeover is making progress! Still need to remove lots of masking tape and add my shiny new toilet seat 😄
White tiled wall with very pale stripes along the edges of which is yellow masking tape. On the wall is a pink cabinet with gold mirror on top, a large art deco style mirror, and a dark brown stained shelf above the sink
