Happy #internationalcatday George! I'm celebrating Biscuit, my constant companion here in BC Canada. She's lived with me for five years now. Biscuit was found as a feral kitten and was rescued and rehomed by Pacific Cat Clinic. She is a one person only cat and I'm honoured to be it.

Lorraine the Myou Dietrich ball jointed doll sits on a blue velvet bench in front of a "vintage" trifold screen. There are old patterns taped to the screen like a bulletin board.

Lorraine checking out the folding screen.
I found it at a clearance craft store and realized it was the perfect size for larger dolls even tho the large graphic on the front was ugly. I layered old book pages with gesso and espresso ink then scraps of dollhouse wallpaper. #bjd #diy #dollsky

Beatrix shares a peaceful moment with Ruven in the garden.

WIP pool table makeover progress 🎱
Today paint work done. I use PE foam wallpaper for table skirt instead of real wood skirt. It’s handy but spray paint keeps flaking. 😓 It will suffice for photoshooting anw. Next is to do balls paint.

Biscuit the tuxedo cat stretches out fully on old, concrete stairs. She has her harness on to go for a wander in the yard and is maybe ensuring she smells like home before leaving.

Strrrreeeeetchy Biscuit. She always has a roll on the steps before we head out into the yard.

It wasn't until after the last post that I realized that today is the International Non-binary People’s Day! I didn't remember it, but my subconscious did, I guess 🤔😄! In honour of this day, another picture of my non-binary dolls (not all of them😁). #nonbinary #twospirit #genderqueer #dollsky #dolls

Ball jointed doll Iplehouse KID Hannah in grey, wearing a dotted set of knickerbockers and matching waistcoat with black stockings and dark faux leather shoes.

I finally got around to finishing Deon's waistcoat from the Hanon pattern. It's lined with the same gingham as the pockets. I had to hand sew this one, it was a bit too small for my machine skills!

A RaccoonDoll "Angela" sculpt in rose mocha with brown eyes and braided auburn hair. She's wearing a homemade, white sundress and sitting in the indoor garden.

Back in the first week of April I ordered a RaccoonDoll girl in rose mocha resin with the company face-up and a silver wig. She arrived and I didn't click with her until I switched the blue eyes to brown and wig to auburn. Meet Nyssa!

People Around the World Support a Carbon Tax | The Tyee Despite political pushback, a researcher finds people in affluent countries are open to paying the tax.

“We found that people in high-income countries are willing to let go of some purchasing power, if they can be sure that it solves climate change and global poverty,” researcher Adrian Fabre said.

This is Wasabi at 12 yrs in 2017. He had five different layers of fur, all different shades. He was an indoor kitty, but I had to brush him outside because of all the flying fluff. The hummingbirds loved making nests with it.
