Oooh friend just said her husband put her at "30 minutes a week" for domestic labour. (In the census) She's had some choice words, but a mutual friend of ours (who is a union rep) has suggested she works to rule and just do the 30 minutes a week from now on.

Arvo Tiny Dancers. Guess who is full of coffee? It's me! I am! Hooray! Cold and rainy out there. The chooks will be let out for a little while in a minute but they won't like it. Then I'll get the fire going and do some weaving, it's a good day to stay inside and fondle yarn. Hoping to get some progress on the block carving too, we'll see. It all hinges on me NOT opening Two Point Campus.

This is a fragment of weaving from Peru, 900-1430 AD. "Hey I'm doing some weaving, I'm just gunna put a little guy on it" It's not embroidered on, it's part of the weave. They took the time to decorate the cloth just because they could and I love that.

Good Morning Tiny Dancers. It is just past 10am and I have seen a cocktail recipe that includes the entire contents of a 2 minute noodle flavour sachet and I would like to speak to an adult.

My blank postcards arrived today (in too much bubble wrap) so now I just have to do the doing with the carving thing. I'll scrape some time together.

Tomorrow looks to be fun, I am planning to return to the art shop to get the things I forgot and then go and get some cheaparse brushes at the cheaparse shop. I do have some of Mum's brushes, but most of them were donated or dodgy.

BOTH chickens came inside today. Bella deeply unimpressed and is hoping her complaint to management will be addressed. Management will get back to her within 28 business days.

Someone who isn't me decided that a nice pile of fox shit was ideal for rolling about in. Related, Bella has a wet neck and sad ears.

Good Morning Tiny Dancers. Two hour work break this morning so as you can guess I went for coffee. Left some Morsbags out on the railings, dunno if there are any takers but they're marked as free so someone might snaffle a couple.

Good Morning Tiny Dancers. Thinking of Mum today, it's two years since she wandered off. Please enjoy this photo of her before she was even married and do not be fooled by how small and sweet that grey horse looks. Misty was a criminal mastermind. I'll have a frothy coffee later in her honour. Mum's honour, not Misty's.

Seeing if my idea for hearts works, which it does with some tweaking. By which I mean I should have used interfacing on the weaving before I started faffing about. The usual hearts I'm seeing in the groups are sewn with wrong sides together and then not turned, but edged with pinking shears. I do have pinking shears, they are just blunt. So this is sewn then turned out and it worked so go me.

Good Morning Tiny Dancers. I have been for coffee with the BFF who, like a bastard, informed the staff of the birthday and I have been presented with a vanilla slice with candles in 🤣 Thank you for the birthday wishes, I am once again 21, for the 27th year on the trot. Going for the record.

Good Morning Tiny Dancers. Been out for a coffee, obvs. I think the technical term for how my town is this morning is "cluster fuck". Absolute chaos down there, cars all over the place, people backing into odd places, people ignoring other people who are crossing the road on the crossing actually. Nearly died, she said, over egging the situation for the dramas.

A certain dog, who shall remain nameless, is insisting on a stroll and as it's a lovely sunny afternoon we shall stroll.

Good Morning Tiny Dancers. Friday is literally Friday for me, which is fun and makes me feel like I'm down with the cool kids. I have the weekend off, is what I'm saying there.

Sitting on my bed doing a spot of cross stitch and I can hear the kangaroos grazing just outside my window.

Work has been quietish so I've been chipping away at clearing the art space out a bit. Since Dad pinched the desk lamp, and the other one let the smoke out, I've even ordered a fancy work lamp. Fancy and Not That Expensive, thanks Ikea.

Ah, I see someone tapped into my actual brain to design the perfect cross stitch kit. I am trying to resist adding to cart...

Let the chooks out for a bit while I had a cuppa out there. I don't speak chicken as such, but I've managed to translate "Sitting under the bench and furiously attacking the human legs with our pointy faces" into "It cold, feed us and bugger off"
