Well, I've just nuked my twitter profile so I'm now on here permanently
So hi! I'm Steph, I love to art and occasionally write and ramble about everything from Lotr to Dragon Age to ice hockey 💜

Our first Xmas tree in our new home and probably my first tree since about 2009 (I don't remember having one when I lived with my mum and stepdad for awhile)

I have a very annoying colleague at work who talks and asks stupid questions and then gets defensive when I give stupid answers
Like, if you don't want a stupid answer then don't ask

Life drawing is such a good reminder to enjoy art regardless of the result!
Yesterday I went back to a life drawing session after a long break, I was tired but I promised a friend I would be there so I went. I wasn’t able to focus, my hand just wanted to scribble around… and guess what? still fun!

1 more row and I think I might be done with the brim - just to figure out how to sew the two ends together. 👀

For years I've never been able to get into Xmas spirit until literally the day, however it's not even December yet and I'm sad cos I can't get a Christmas tree and decorations until next week's payday
Halp!

I'm really pleased with how this is turning out but I'm really struggling with working out how to keep the edges straight and not have a bump where the turning chain is 😭

Oft being ill is expensive when your an agency worker - lost £150 out of my wages for last week because I was ill for two days
That's going to make meeting both my teeth bill and my mobile bill very difficult 😭

As someone who likes routine and doesn't like changes, I despise the idea of hot desking - I like knowing where I'm going to sit each morning and that my desk and chair is set up in the way I prefer it 🙃

This is probably the nearest tension guage I have yet to crochet - whoever thought of stitch markers is a genius
Now to start on the hat when I get home later :3

New crochet project cos the blanket is taking me forever - just working on the tension guage first
This I think will be the first time I've actually followed a pattern and I hope it turns out okay
Praying I remember to actually use my stitch markers this time or this is gonna be one wonky hat XD

Trying to figure out my tension gauge isn’t reaching 4x4 inches and then realised I can literally chain stitches until it measures 4” across
Why did I not realise this before, I’m such a dumbass 🤦♀️

Got to hear my baby's heartbeat today at my midwifery appointment and it was such a surreal experience
Further proof that there is indeed a little human growing inside me 🥰

Wait Plymouth actually got snow?
Tho tbf I live on a giant hill on the outskirts of the city close to Dartmoor, I shouldn't be too surprised
But that's gonna make getting to my midwifery appointment interesting if it keeps falling and sticking

Just had yoghurt as the first I’ve eaten since a banana this morning to show that I could keep food down so I could escape hospital, and even though it’s soya yoghurt it tasted amazing
Probably cos it’s the first thing I’ve properly eaten since Sunday evening
