I be charting. Ugly Star Trek Christmas Sweater, ho!
A knitting chart featuring a motif of traditional Norwegian flowers/snowflakes in white on a cornflower blue background, followed by a motif with a side-on silhouette of the TOS Enterprise and the words MAKE IT SNOW in cornflower blue on a white background, followed by another repeat of the Norwegian flower/snowflake motif.

Success! Even fixed the lesser LEGO below. Will revisit when the replacement plexiglass arrives.
LEGO Millenium Falcon with LED lights mounted in a plexiglass case on a shelf high in the air. Below it is a shelf with a clock and two other LEGO sets: a carnivorous pipe plant from Mario and a flower bouquet.

Threepio, threepio, wherefore art thou C3PO?

Chat, is it bad if plexiglass does this?

Just got home late and learned that Rosie (our 3 year old cat) was hit by a car and killed. I am devastated. She loved Little B and anyone horizontal under a blanket and had a purr that belied her tiny size.

We are going to tell Little B tomorrow. Dreading it.

Is it really an extended family vacation if grandpa doesn’t lock everyone out, leading his son to break in via an open ground floor window?

Sew scraps to make pictures in pretty colors.
Felt scraps in cool green, royal blue, magenta, mustard, bright red and pink handstitched together with mustard thread to make a vaguely Seussian landscape.

Photos from my latest #bookbinding project and the first time I’ve bound a book of my own work. I had fun taking photos of a few interior pages (there’s 12 in all) next to what their plants look like now that it’s September.
A book on a background of leaves. The cover is royal blue with pink and blue flowers. The title text is MEDICINE TO THE MIND 2025 Author’s name is blanked out. Glamor shot of the front cover and spine showing the coptic stitch binding in pale blue thread. Inner page, a watercolour and ink painting of a pale pink flower inset on a cream page. The typewritten text (uneven and with errors) says: Rosa canina Dog rose 26 June 2022 Holywell Close Swords, Ireland The page has been photographed next to a massive deep red rose hip that looks good enough to eat. The dog rose plant leaves shadows on the page. Inner page, a watercolour and ink painting of a pale purplish pink flower inset on a cream page. The typewritten text (uneven and with errors) says: Salva moschata Musk Mallow 12 June 2022 Holywell Road Swords, Ireland The page has been photographed next to a cluster of dry musk mallow seed pods.

Leftover blue dye really picking up my handsewing calluses.
Close up of my fingertips. Thumb and forefinger have calluses that are faintly blue, middle finger is smooth and pink.

She won’t do laps, doesn’t like being picked up, but if I’m in bed she’ll purr herself to sleep on my chest. #catsofBluesky

More felty doodles.
Felt scraps in various bright colors stitched together to suggest a city against a green mountain background. It’s very abstract.

Fidgeting with felt.

#lego bouquet! Gift for my birthday a while back. The original set is Flower Arrangement 10345 from the Botanicals Collection, but I added some blooms from other sets too. Love how the set has tons of extra mount points for exactly this!
