Again today since apparently I need to hunt for my awl in the cat’s favorite hiding places, but here’s 2-3 hrs of stitching a wallet and misc with carbon-something coated needles. Similar marks on my thumb and the other hand. Truly only visible because of the needles I use and the gd missing awl.

Did two of these bag charms without the awl because they’re small, right? It’s four layers, sure, but pre-punched. Do I neeed to go find it?
Ow ow ow.
Ow ow ow.

So it turns out that in addition to cured meats (duh), fish (duh), and seaweed (huh?), MewMew is a fiend for apricots.
Meanwhile Natasha still favors potato chips and popcorn.

Would Great-great Aunt Arbeth have imagined her fancy marble tabletop being used to skive and tool leather? Probably not. But seeing as how she lived through the Depression, and the tables themselves are lost, I doubt she’d have minded the repurposing.

Like many of you, I'll be taking a stroll in my city tomorrow. If you manage to find me on the Boston Commons, you're invited to sketch in a segment of scales for the flag. Look for the woman in 1770s garb, stitching while walking. #NoKings

Folks who care about either violins or bag charms, feedback? Playing with different options.

Not sure how @basus.me felt getting chided for not Reflecting Sun to Chase around the living room on cloudy mornings.

Also since you’re a medievalist: yes I know Pangur Ban means white cat. Yes he was gray. First of all I thought no one would ever call me on it (forgetting who I hung out with), and second I was extremely concussed when I got him (forgetting who I hung out with).

Please enjoy this picture of MewMew, who is decidedly NOT enjoying the cold snap.
If anyone has cat-proof towel hanging suggestions, lmk.

I keep being so very glad I found a shoemaking teacher. Most recently because I was all set to chisel stitching holes into my leather before he gave me the most baffled look and pointed out the sewing machine in the corner.

Lucked out and found a teacher for adjusting shoe lasts and, once I’ve got these set, making my own shoes

Should I add anything else to the brandied peaches? Three jars’ worth, all likely to end up in cobbler.

As a bit of an antidote: the raspberries are turning into little red gems, the creeping thyme is enthusiastically marching in the wrong direction, the snapdragons have started blooming, and the clematis keeps on climbing. #BloomScrolling #GardenSky

If I stitch the Join or Die snake in Pride colors next, anyone have strong opinions about how to incorporate the trans, intersex and communities of color aspects?

As if to balance it out, there's a yellow, banana-shaped Pride bag. And these caricature lesbian birds with their moving truck accessory. Maybe such a fair-weather friend should not be leaning so hard into stereotype jokes this year?
