small tuxedo cat flopped in a gray rug on a black floor

zora has taken to falling over and showing her whole belly when she sees me. google says it's the "social roll" and she feels safe 🥹🥹. and she's a belly rub kitty, so soft, and not much behind those gorge eyes

unfortunately there's only one sleeve left and it's pretty small.. but shorts are always a safe bet with mini dresses!

zara (fast fashion) shirt-dress from a thrift store - black with red vintage cars

cut off the very tight sleeves and bias taped the armscyes - woman with short hair stands in a black sleeveless shirt with red vintage cars

closeup of bias taped armscyes

bought a fast fashion top from a thrift store, cut off the sleeves sized for tiny thin arms, sewed on bias tape (made from the sleeves) to finish the armscyes. not sure if it's a shirt or a dress... but I'll be wearing it as a dress this summer

peach hyacinth fully opened, two purple buds about to pop

hyacinths are opening!! they've beat the daffs as first flower of spring this year 🌱

hahha nooooe!! I only ordered 50 more 🫠🫠

brown pegboard on a white wall, covered in cool tone yarn

turns out a pack of 50 6" pegs isn't nearly enough to organize my yarn stash. all the warm colors are in a box on the floor, not to mention the duplicates 🫠🧶🙃

zig is having a morning.

a drawing titled "how to draw a medieval cat." the drawing has two steps. step 1 shows a simple spiral shell labeled "1. shell." step 2 shows a cat body attached to the shell, labeled "2. cat." the final image shows the completed "medieval cat" with a proud expression and sparkles around it

part two

one small tuxedo cat on a white box with another small tuxedo cat peering out

ziggy and zora waiting not so patiently for dinner. cat cube is from ikea!! 😻😻

90s butterick sewing patterns - looks like the "formal" dresses of my youth

woman standing in front of closet in dark floral maxi dress

back of dark floral maxi dress - should have made the straps cross over again

sewed another dress from this pattern, same mini length as the one yesterday, but with a much longer "ruffle". turns out ...the dark floral wasnt nearly as wide so it didn't ruffle much 🪡🧶

back of handmade dress in a bright white bathroom

waiting for friends to get ready, sewed a dress from a 90's looking pattern. it was designed as a maxi gown with a back zip, but I absolutely cannot so it's stretch knit. the finished dress was just a touch short, so I added a ruffle

three seed starting trays setup in a gross basement

honey nut squash sprouts!

various tomato sprouts

caraflex cabbage and 2 kinds of kale

seed starting is a success!!! turns out... patience, grow lights, and heating mats were the trick. tomatoes, squash, kale, eggplant, and amaranth have all popped up 🌱🌱

3 drinks (for the adhd office worker) on a bamboo counter

the trifecta of drinks! tasty - chinese mango yogurt, hydrating - korean barley tea, caffeine - black coffee. must have all 3 to function 🫠🫠

Rebellions are built on hope.
