Today during the No Kings protest and march I crocheted this start of a trans flag. Still a long way to go. I did two rows before and on the way to the protest so not including those I did 1,631 stitches.

Auntie Whispers wants y'all to know we won't be streaming much (if at all) this summer. Things are too much. I've had to put my energy elsewhere. I'll go back at some point but it just isn't feasible right now. Enjoy this glamour shot of AW. She's even fiestier than ever in her new skin.

Auntie Whispers molted yesterday and I was able to get these glamor shots of her today. The last photo is a pic of her molt which she's camping out on top of. She's got all eight legs! So proud!

Auntie Whispers came out of her cave to say hello! (After my stream of course, shy little bean she is) She was kind enough to let me snap this pic of her.
Demo stream went well. It's up on my twitch in case you missed it. Played a handful of games to see if they would work on my very old computer.

Worked on this during the second half of my stream today. Shared the screen while I made the stars sparkly! It was fun, I think I may do more pixel art on stream in the future.

I did not touch grass, but I did feed Riot some catnip so... close enough.

I'm so grateful I've been able to carve out a bit of reading time for myself. This time, I'm going non-fiction. I'm putting on my scholar hat.

I tried something new today. I made this little pixel art frog. I think it's pretty cute for my first go at it.

Surgery was a success. I'm a little loopy but no nausea and doc says it seems benign but gotta hear back from labs in a week to be sure.

I also got some plant babies at the pet store to finally have some greenery in this elephant planter I inherited from my Grandma. She used to have a little Steve Urkle doll riding on it.

Went for a long walk to the pet store since Riot was out of treats. Got a couple of books that look pretty good and saw a big rusty gear!

Couldn't sleep last night so I did some random doodles. I love these silly ghosts so much I might want to replicate this sort of thing as a fabric pattern or something. Or maybe a little painting. The two-headed ghost is my favorite.

Lately, I've been on a "60's horror/thriller/melodrama" kick. Started Whatever Happened to Baby Jane lead to Dead Ringer, which lead to The Bad Seed, which led to Straight Jacket. Today, my sick day movie is Seance on a Wet Afternoon. It's already off to a great start with this opening title card.

This little demon, who timed his screams and zoomies for the exact moment I was finally falling asleep, KNOWS I have work to do, yet still insists on laying on my lap, purring away, without a care in his single little braincell.
Also, he's hogging the braincell. I need that to do the work.

First Hearts for Humans mini sample done. It's quite a bit harder with thread, but I think doing it a few more times might help me get it right. Ends still need weaving in too. Also, crab stitch is coming out very tight for me, this needed a bit of stretching and ironing to get it to lay flat.

The design process involves a lot of undoing, redoing, trying different stitch counts. These samples are all slightly different. The one without a border is the final heart design. I'll be trying different borders with it.

Making progress designing the "Hearts for Humans" pattern for next Friday's stream. I'm doing it with bigger yarn first because it's easier to work out the issues, then I will switch to thread. Half of this piece is what I thought would work, and the other half is adjustments I made to fix it.

Charles and Riot look very similar. Good handsome boys.

I put together a new enclosure today for one of my tarantulas, Auntie Whispers. There will be a full YouTube video of it at some point but I am just so excited I need everyone to see how pretty she is.

Riot is so happy to have his stitches out and no more cone! I'm happy he's got a clean bill of health.
