Whew! Been busy on the home front, friend-o's!

Popping in quick to say I'M ALIVE! And that I've got sooo many things to share over the next month!

For now, have my cat being an absolute goblin. 😂🤌💜

Picture of my short-haired black cat crouched awkwardly on a couch cushion. He is looking over his shoulder towards the camera, and has been caught mid-lick so he has an absolutely atrocious derp face happening. 😂 It's definitely one of those accidentally perfect camera moments.

Today I learned "Continental Style" knitting! It... DIDN'T SUCK. 👀

Knitting and I have never gotten along; I tend to strangle my needles until it's so tight I have to cut the stitches off and start over. 😂

This was nice! Very similar in feel to crochet, which is my friend.

Closeup photo of a decorative lapel pin. It mimics the logo from Spielberg's classic: Jurassic Park, only instead of the movie title, it says 'Jeff Goldblum'.

💫ITEM RETRIEVED; SIDE QUEST COMPLETE! 💫

And it only took 2 tries to find a key that fit the doors. 😂

No shelves inside & it's *very* dirty on the outside. First thing will be scrubbing it down with wood soap & scraping the melted wax off the top(?!?!).

Photo of a smallish brass key sticking out of the keyhole in a set of glass-paned doors on the haunted cabinet. Photo of the haunted cabinet with doors now wide open, showing the empty interior, after finding a key to fit the lock. Gotta love Victorian locks that all used the same style keys!

Late night hellos from the Heebie Jeebie Gang!
They hope you are all getting way more sleep than I am. 😂😭

Several alien creatures with leggies like Marvin the Martian from Looney Tunes all stand in a row, observing the viewer. Some seem to have a normal amount of eyes, others have only one, or far too many. Our little friends come in a range of colors (dark pink, burgundy, shimmery light turquoise blue, vine green, white with orange highlights, or light purple), and styles (fluffy or pumpkin-headed). They are all adorable and ready for adoption!

Tonight, Shelly Skelly is rocking this one-of-a-kind Dunkin Donuts capelet, designed & stitched by the eponymous Hexxxy Lady herself, our very own: Crueller de Filling!

Watch out for the swish as Shelly Skelly makes her way up the red carpet! 😉

A sewing mannequin holds a capelet made of pink & orange satin with a large pink leopard print faux fur collar. A large black & white striped bow 'tie' sits at the neck, above which a spiky skull face sticks out of the neck of the mannequin. This is the face of Shelly Skelly, the anthropomorphic, undead model herself!

A black cat sitting primly atop an in-progress pile of an orange satin sewing project. The pile is right next to the sewing machine, clearly in use, except that right now there's a very self-satisfied cat on it. A burnt loaf of a goobus cat laying atop a large, folded piece of bright orange material, which is clearly mid-pattern-cutting. The mischief loaf has been caught mid-meow, so his face is partly scrunched and his mouth open just a tiny bit, giving him a ridiculously silly expression. A short-haired black cat sits within a large pile of pink leopard-print fabric. The is draped over his back half where it was tossed over him, and he is looking over his shoulder in consternation at this sudden development. His pose indicates that the thought running through his head might be akin to: "WTF, Möther?!", or maybe, "My Ass!". 🤣 Close-up photo of the primly sitting feet of a black cat, posed on top of a mid-cut sewing pattern. The goobus LITERALLY sat down ON MY PATTERN, AS I WAS CUTTING IT. I had to remove my scissors mid-cut as he forced his way into my space and put his ass on my pattern piece. To be fair, it was time for dinner. He is an excellent and reliable clock. 😂

Ok, I'm missing 1 facing piece, 2 pieces for the external long cape (I'm waiting on the fabric), and the bits for the jester's cap, which I'll cut out tomorrow.

Everything else is ready to go and now it is time to ASSEMBLE. 💀

A photo of a black table filled with (mostly) neatly laid out sewing project supplies. On the left are various pattern pieces folded into neat rectangles. The fabric is orange, pink, or pink leopard print & each rectangular pile is labeled as to which piece is which for easy reference. On the right of the table is a mini ironing board, iron, & pressing ham. Some scissors & bonus pattern pieces rest on the ironing board in the middle. The upper right corner of the table is filled with all the various small accoutrements required for such a project: pink & orange thread, gold lamé bias tape, pencils, rulers, etc.

Photo of a short-haired black cat with large ears & big yellow eyes. He is loafed in a mischievous position, hanging partway off of a dining table covered in hot pink satin material and pattern pieces. He faces the camera, one leggie dangling nonchalantly, giving the viewer a look that says: "What?!", as he sprawls right in the middle of the sewing project. The helpingest helper that ever helped.

Improvised cutting weights. 😂
(Don't at me about the wrinkled fabric. It'll get steamed later!)

Photo of a large swath of bright orange fabric laid out on a black table. Atop the cloth sits a cone-shaped pattern piece being held down by various sewing rulers & french curves. The fabric is being held in place by a variety of soda cans, namely cherry coke & dr pepper.

A photo of a short-haired black cat who is absolutely passed out asleep on top of a large pile of hot pink leopard print faux fur fabric. He sleeps on his side, all four leggies pointing towards the left side of the picture. His belly floof is very floofed and he looks altogether TOO comfortable on top of my BRAND NEW FABRIC. 😂 Oh well, at least he approves of my fashion choices.

The Boy is very pleased at having all of this pattern paper to roll around on in the morning sunbeams! 😂

A photo of a short-haired black cat laying absolutely blissed out in a sunbeam. The sunbeam happens to be located on top of a table covered in carefully cut pieces of pattern paper, which makes it a delightfully CRINKLY sunbeam. His glossy fur is highlighted by the beam of light and his paws are stretched in both directions, elongating his tubby belly. He looks like prime pickings to go mess with. (I'm a terrible mother. 😂)

Photo of a short-haired black cat with big yellow eyes sitting on a black table, in front of white pattern paper that is spread out mid-project. Kitty sits facing the viewer, his feet very properly placed in front of him. Despite his proper seat, his head is cocked, one ear tilted backwards, giving him a goofy, slightly annoyed look. Clearly, Möther should be playing with Kitty, not Patterning Projects.

Kitty sits facing the viewer, his feet very properly placed in front of him. A hand is reaching in from the side of the photo, petting kitty in his side, though his face indicates he is still not receiving enough attention.
