If you're wondering why I am the way I am, these are the earliest toys I can remember

And yes, that is the scratchiest of scratchy tulle
Two very seventies clown dolls. The one on the left is half yellow and half green floral fabric. The one on the right is half brown and half orange paisley fabric. Their collars and cuffs are matching tulle ruffles and their faces are made of felt and straight pins.

A movie that takes place where you're from.

This is the closest I can get - Canadian side, not US
The film poster for Canadian Bacon - a foot with a maple leaf on the sole about to step on the Statue of Liberty. The tagline is "help America flight the Canadians."

This is Chester, helping me write
A low-angle photo looking up at a woman and a cat. The woman has her hand on a computer keyboard, but the cat is draped over her wrist so she can't move her hand.

It seems IKEA has come out in favour of polyamory
An Ikea display of a bed with a tray at the foot. On the tray is a note reading, "Will you move in with us?" followed by yes or no. It's signed, "from Alicia and Hamish" with three hearts at the bottom.

I've been learning watercolours. Emma Jane Lefebvre has mini beginner tutorials running this month on YT, and this is what I did this week.

Wet on wet, colour bleeds, flat wash, and gradients.

#31DaysofWatercolour
Four small practice paintings - swirls of red, orange, and turquoise, thick bands of yellow, green, and red bleeding into each other, flat washes of blue and green, and gradients of green, yellow, and then the two fading into each other.

Post a picture of when your pet was little.

I call this one Kitten Discovers Fire
A tabby and white kitten sits on a coffee table and stares intently down at a lit candle. He's poised to run if attacked.

Woke up like this today, and judging by the overnight temperatures I'll wake up the same way tomorrow.
Looking down the length of a bed towards the foot. Two cats are sleeping on me, one on my stomach and one on my legs.

I'm not religious, but I believe in the holy trinity

Is there a category for danger? Mouse was oblivious to gravity (except that one time she fell off a bigger windowsill than this one)

Here's another for this division. He was head on one arm, butt on the other.
A view from behind a computer keyboard, so the keyboard is in the foreground, then a cat, then a woman. The cat is draped over the woman's forearms as she types.

I'll trade you!
A close-up of an Australian gull's head, all white with pale eyes. The beak is bright yellow with a red tip. The gull looks like he's very disappointed in you.

My latest acquisition. I got both of the gwp, too. Did I buy it just for the haberdasher's shop? Of course not. But I had been designing one in my head before this one was announced.
A top-down view of the Tudor Corner Lego kit. The kit building is a corner pub first floor, a brick second floor, and a tudor-style upper floor. Attached on one side is a second building containing a haberdashery.

Boris wants you to know he's long and has a fuzzy belly.

This is how I know I slept well - Chester was here with a toy twice and couldn't wake me with his sad mewing.

He woke me with a third ball so he did get to play fetch this morning.
A top down view showing a wood floor, the side of a bed, and a curtain. On the floor, nestled together, are two 2.5 cm wool felt balls, one green and one orange.
