I spend most of my time with kids (my own and my tutoring students) and cats. I try to read and knit or stitch - at least a little - every day.
@BrightEyedDyer You're in my thoughts.
@chr I love that aspect of the series, too!
@Zoonie It's actually a Japanese wood block print - but now you mention it, it would be awesome embroidered! That's a great idea.
A little peek at my current #fiberarts project (#knitting), with some bonus #calico #lapcat.
This yelling bird is literally my new Twitter avatar. I am extremely pleased about this.
I mostly stayed off of social media yesterday, which was nice, but I do want to share something nice that happened to me:
The lady in front of me at the coffee shop drive through paid for my drink! It was such a lovely surprise. I will have to do the same for someone else, one day soon.
What do you mean it's not even noon??
Content isn't "free" when there are ads. The longer I work in advertising, the more this idea that content w/ads is "Free" bothers me. It's not free at all. You're paying for it with your time and attention to sponsored content, and how that content then drives you to take actions. It's not "free."
Hello Octodon (and Mastodon at large)! I don’t really have anything to say today, except that I really appreciate this community. 🌟
@DialMforMara Love the pyramids. I’ve used a similar texture before, and I really like the mix of knits and purls.
8yo: Hey, can we watch the Super Bowl today?
Me, surprised: Sure, kiddo, if you want.
...Do you know what sport the Super Bowl is?
8yo: Nope!
Me: Okay then.
@Thaddeus You can. It's hard. But you can.
@BrightEyedDyer Oh, that's not great news. I'm sorry.
so anyway
replace all politicians with cats
that is all
Today's mood: Show more
I let my toddler help me play Animal Crossing sometimes.
He calls this horse Batman.
@distelfliege Thanks!
I got so much done today, you guys! I swept the floors, I scrubbed the bathtub/shower, I prepped for Friday's parent-teacher conference, I took care of the hand-wash dishes, and I got the baby down for his nap before noon!
Then this afternoon I also got my February calendar sorted (*just* in time), sent some emails, listened to the kiddo's piano practice, got the kiddo to do one of his weekly chores, and then gave the baby his bath before dinner!
