Was talking to a writer-friend about reading/writing poetry as an aid to prose (studying poetry to help make your writing more evocative or whatever), and she brought up an excerpt of Gran and Gwyn I'd shared with this writing group about a year ago. She definitely thought I'd read it to them. I had not. Somehow that feels like a great compliment.

Also got asked by a great big guy in the group if I would teach him how to crochet better. "I've been learning so I can make hats and stuff for my kids, but I just don't think I'm getting working in the round correctly...." He was so insecure, it was sweet. So I guess I'mma teach him how to crochet??

Oh this is all so cute and pure

Bee gave me pretty math rocks that look like strawberry milk swirled in coffee.... Help I love them

ohhh... those are cool!

Bought a lamp-that-is-also-a-jar today because Clover keeps pulling my childhood lamp over any chance she gets, even if I'm sitting there, and I LIKE that lamp and would rather not have it destroyed. (yes, I am more emotionally attached to my childhood lamp than I should be - I am aware.)

Problem is, the new lamp is, as previously stated, also a jar

and my lizard brain immediately said, "Fill with dice." No. No, brain, it is HUGE. Compromise with yarn? "Not shiny math rocks but also hoard. k."

also bee and I always include socks to each other in our Christmas packages. we have good taste in socks. very professional. right up my aesthetic

1) that is a cool lamp
2) I was going to protest and say dice would be fine but oh wow that really is huge.
3) the yarn looks cool
4) gallon bottles of water on your nightstand?
5) those socks are amazing

Gallon jugs everywhere in weird parts of my house for cat protection. Those are to keep her from jumping up and sending everything scattering.

well you're always prepared for your water to be cut off I guess. or a small fire.

Absolute menace

energetic manic cuddlebug

Who has stolen 4 bottle caps in the last 26 hours..... The new best toy. Makes good sounds across the floor and excellent munchymunchy

also making progress on a thing and the yarn started to do its thing, which is lovely.

ohhhh... that's lovely
