Still alive. Little to report except that my cat continues to be excessively good looking.

I made a small friend

My lad loves some packing paper/card too - especially the honeycomb kind!

If it helps, yes you can. Source: I learned to tool leather from YouTube.

It's very fun and rewarding, but an expensive hobby.

When you just want to eat some Kummerspeck cookies in the bath, but your food-obsessed cat with a distinct penchant for baked goods has identified Noms In This Vicinity and will not be deterred, even by hiding them in a cupboard

Finally succeeded in making a little ball shape in crochet to try amigurumi! The last time I tried, years ago, they all came out completely wrong (including one tiny wizard hat). I don't know what's changed that I'm finally understanding crochet patterns, but I'm glad

It's been a while, but he has recently reignited his relationship with the shower drain cover. Today he's just gazing at it, enraptured, but he's also been playing with it and pulling it up. I'm glad they've worked out their differences.

Show me your pet and what they're named after!
