All my fabric files are now available to view in my Dropbox folder! tinyurl.ee/AXhGY These can all be printed onto almost any type of fabric, and because I own the files they will never be out of stock 🥰

Some of my favourites:

Simplistic autumnal trees in vivid colours

Cute dinosaurs in space wearing little bubble helmets

Great to know, thanks!

No other explanation

Ok this actually makes me quite relieved that I'm not alone! I also don't really get the happy feelings from pictures of animals. (I do from babies though! But lots of my friends are the other way around!)

I bare this part of my soul out of frustration that most of the replies are actually extremely hinged and even popular

I'm aware this makes me a monster but I just don't really have much of an emotional reaction to written animal death 🤷🏻‍♀️

Tell me your most unhinged literary opinion, as a little treat

Hey no worries! I'm really grateful for you to be asking for me ❤️

I really thought everywhere was separating food waste now 😭

Frith 🐉 An Odd Type of Dragon @oddtypeofdragon.bsky.social · 1d

Whaaaaat 😢

Frith 🐉 An Odd Type of Dragon @oddtypeofdragon.bsky.social · 1d

Should have added, if you are in the UK you should put your pumpkin in or on your food waste caddy for collection. It can also go your in garden waste if you have that. Take the tea-light out first!!!

Excited to try this out, I hope they've got some bike racks by now (they didn't last year!) so we can actually lock up!

But each year loads of carved leftover pumpkins get left in UK woodland by people who genuinely think they're helping wildlife because they saw a post on Facebook telling people to do this *from a wildlife charity* whose author didn't think about how things get shown internationally on social media.

If you are in the US, pumpkins are a great wildlife snack! If you are in the UK pumpkins are actively dangerous to much of the wild animals who will eat it! (It has laxitive effects in small creatures like hedgehogs, and so is dangerous to them while they're trying to build hibernation reserves)

Every year social media is full of people desperately shouting at each other because whether you should put your pumpkin out for wildlife to eat is entirely dependent on whether it is a native or an introduced species in your country but all the graphics get shared without this

I beg of everyone and every organisation this Halloween: if you're doing a PSA about what to do with your pumpkin afterwards, INCLUDE THE COUNTRY IN YOUR INFO(GRAPHIC)

Once again I put off cleaning the inside of my sewing machine until my feed dogs were literally not feeding. You'd think I'd have learnt by now.

Truer words

Certain Labour MPs are worried that backing Phillipson would make them unpopular with their LGBTQ constituents.

I just want to reassure those MPs.

Being in the Labour Party makes you unpopular with your LGBTQ constituents.

Ellie has been banned from making particular varieties of cake because she has the opposite problem 😂

Frith 🐉 An Odd Type of Dragon @oddtypeofdragon.bsky.social · 2d

It looks very nice!

Fairly sure yes

(Answer: almost all clothing should actually be *much* more expensive. We have totally normalised near-slavery throughout the clothing industry along with rock-bottom fabric quality. A £15 dress is a human rights abomination.)

"Shouldn't clothes be cheaper?"

The matching waterproof dungarees are still going! I made Tiny Dragon hers two and a half years ago now. #sewing #sewsky

Pumpkin Patches are still a new slightly weird import but I do enjoy them? This year our local one included a massive pile of dirt. They definitely understand what children want.
