Cautionary Tale

Strange and unusual.

Lawyer, federal worker, pet guardian, geek.

Mostly, I want to share pictures of my pets and post about whatever crafty nonsense I’m working on or game I’m playing.

I finished this last night. 120 hours of stitching! It represents the “graveyard guardian” of English lore.

He’s built a nest of various bedding. Samwise the adorable. #catsofbluesky

There’s a moment in every cross stitch project where it really starts to look like something. I’ve been working on this graveyard scene (I’m 70 hours in) and I really love it!

Look at these silly, sleepy critters.

Adopted him yesterday and he’s already the boss.

I adopted this beautiful dummy yesterday. I named him Samwise.

We wore out the corgi. He’s finally been switched to “standby” mode.

I lost my beloved boy Pippin earlier this year. I used his ashes to have a memorial mosaic stone made. It will live in the garden, in his favorite sunny spot.

I loved that fool of a Took so very much.

A gift for my bestie. I’ve been making cross stitching fun things on zipper pouches, and lining them with a fusible cotton to protect the stitches. They are really awesome and I should really make one for myself!

It’s been a few days since I posted a dog pic. Here’s an obligatory “vet stress” nose boop.

I finished this project but don’t know what to do with it.

For gifting this year, I’m trying to make as many gifts as I can (and buying handmade/crafted gifts where I can’t). I can’t say how much I love these zip pouches I’ve embroidered for 2 friends.

Willie is learning that holidays are exhausting! #corgicrew

I don’t decorate much for Xmas. But this year I decided to do a little. Grab the joy wherever you find it.

Willie wishes all of you a good night and a Happy Thanksgiving! #corgicrew #dogsofbluesky

I’m sick, I have raging pms, it’s about to be the holiday that makes me the most sad, and I am supposed to cook dinner for 10 people on Thursday.

It’s not a happy time here. But my cats, who hate each other, are doing this, so maybe it will all be ok.

Or maybe I need to turn on the heat.

A beautiful fall day at Portland’s Saturday Market.

I adopted my gorgeous girl Eowyn after the 2016 election, because the anxiety and grief was overwhelming. No regrets.

It’s exhausting to be this cute.

A corgi a day will make you a little frantic but it’s worth it.

I’m relying on embroidery to express my emotions right now.

Life is bleak, my skeeters. But Willie is here to teach the restorative power of a zoomies-then-nap protocol.
November 8, 2024 at 5:31 PM
I am a constant source of disappointment for the cat.
February 11, 2024 at 11:29 PM
This is Willie. He is terrified that if I pee without him, the world will end.
