There isn't much as heart warming as being safe enough for a cat to sleep beside. Sybil wasn't supposed to feel comfortable in our house. We were told she wouldn't get along with dogs, or enjoy a multi animal household, but this tabby proved them all wrong.

Sybil, a tabby cat sleeps with her face partially smoothed into a blue couch with warm lamplight glowing behind her.

In dog news however; Today I Learned Rosie stress digs.
Honestly, I'd rather that than a lot of other options. #dogsofbluesky #recuedogs #olddog

Just feeling the cozy vibes of a chilly day combining my own and my Oma's handspun into a scarf/hood situation. The grey is Wensleydale lambswool blended with Merino and the green is my Oma's handspun, unknown fibre. The squish is intense #showmeyourknits #blueskyknitters #handspinners #handcrafter
Grey and green stripes of garter stitch knitting in cool light.

Creative expression for its own sake.
I started a journaling RPG I've been designing.
Chiya is an Acolyte sent on an Initiation Task to find a sacred cave lost to time and retrieve any writings they find.
A small journal with a mosaic cover featuring floral motifs in black, gold, ochre and red sits on a wooden picnic table An open book showing small hand written text in black ink. The focus is on the pen slanted towards the camera.

Sometimes it's good to just get all the painting stuff out and paint a little fox. Only, don't tell him he's little, he is very proud of himself, and thinks he is quite the distinguished vulpine.
On a soft teal background sits a painted fox, upright and slightly snooty. His lines are sleek, white chin and tail bright against the brown-red of his fur. His eye visible to the viewer is closed.

Freshly blackened hairs make all the difference to my confidence. Hello sunshine, you are lovely today.

To the person who taught me to think for myself, to discuss spiritual theology and dogma, and who never quit engaging with me even after our paths diverged. Go well. Your truth brought you peace, may it ever be so. #death #grief #grandparentloss #opa #gonenotforgotten

6&7/100 Days of Spinning
Oh the hyperfocus kicked in!
Spun the last single last night and this morning and could not wait to play them all together.
This is my first true 4 ply and I think I'm obsessed.
I'm about to skein it all up, but I couldn't help but share the bobbin. #handspinnners #spinner
A full bobbin of yarn! All shades of pink, peach, purple and lavender.

4/100 Days of Spinning
Just a little today. I'm tired and didn't sleep much last night. So the beginning of single 3 out of 4. I'm starting to see more control over colours by spinning from the fold, until I get to the end of that fluff, which is just blended leftovers. Just observing. #handspinner
A bobbin with small bumps of single in the colours peach, coral, white, lavender and blue.

3/100 Days of Spinning. My second ply for my four ply spin. Fine and finicky, but I watched Shetland Seasons One and Two and daydreamed about going to Cape Breton Island. #handspinner #showmeyourspins #yarnspinner #handspun #skillbuilding
A bobbin of singles in the colours red, blue and purple. The singles are very fine, half of lace weight.

Starting a comparison between 2-ply worsted spun and 4-ply woolen spun. I have to say, spinning these ultra fine singles is pretty rewarding. Fibre is Merino/silk from FibreCraft.
#handspinnersofbluesky #handspinner #spinning #yarnspinner #skillbuilding
Nests of silk and Merino combed top. The left one contains shades of red, blue, white, purple and orange. The right contains pink, blues, corals, lavender and white. A skein of 2-ply worsted spun yarn. Candy striped pink and purple hues. The skein lies on a wooden shelf in front of book spines. View of an in progress bobbin on a spinning wheel with a very fine single. The single shows more colour gradation between tones of pink, coral, blue and lavender.

1/100 Days of Spinning
Finished the last skein of this spin. Lovely Romney Roving from New Wave Fibres here in Canada. 200 g became 410 meters of sport weight squishy woolen spun yarn. #handspun #handspinnersofbluesky #showmeyourspins #woolenspun #yarnspinner
Four skeins of yarn. The yarn is a moody mix of dark brown, grey, mauve, gold, ochre and rose.

This is Rosie's quintessential pose. She's dainty in every sense of the word. She hops over puddles, she tiptoes through wet grass. She crosses her paws while napping.

Rosie's front paws daintily cross on a blue couch side lit by golden afternoon light.

Sam is a snuggle bug. Personal space doesn't apply to him. You are his jungle gym. He loves you, and so he will climb on you and lick you at his discretion. You're welcome.
#rescuedogs #adogslife #snugglepuppy
Sam, a medium sized red heeler-like dog rests his head pointing to the left of the picture. He has a bit of a white halo around his black nose, but the rest of his head is a rich copper colour, changing to white splotched with copper at the neck. His pointed ears are pricked forward.

My first dog as an adult. Rosie was never sure she was allowed to snuggle people. She will share the couch and sleep beside you, but her laying her head on my legs is a moment to treasure.
#tinyjoys #rescuedogs #olddogs
Rosie, a dog with a greyed face, black nose and white paws lays with her head on her paws. Her eyes are soft, focused past the camera. A blue dog toy is in the foreground.

Well, the creativity project isn't going as well as I'd hoped, but at least I get to knit with pretty colours!

Sam has achieved deck lounging once more! I swear this pup isn't happy unless he has free access to outside 😆.

Sam, a smallish dog with a copper face and ears and a splotchy copper and white body lounges on a wooden deck looking over his shoulder at the camera. His face is in full sun.

I'm at the beginning of a 16 day break from school.
I have figured out that a project is good for my brain, especially one that is a confined time period.
Enter, #30daysofcreativity by Johanna Bradford. Two pages per day is the goal. #goals #creativity #springbreak #visualart #doodles #tinyjoys

A piano student drew this cartoon of me and their sibling being mischievous during a piano lesson. The artist is in grade 5, and this was drawn on a white board for context.
I laughed for 3 solid minutes when I saw it.
#art #cartoons #studentdrawn #musiclessons #mischief
The picture shows MX. Huitsing to the left of a table, sitting with their legs crossed, arms folded and giving the student at the piano a skeptical look. To MX. Huitsing's left is the piano, and peeking out behind the music stand is the student, gritting teeth and worried eyebrows, braid flying out in their frantic lean away from the teacher who is onto them. To the far left is a chair.
