***Portland, OR*** TOMORROW!!!

Please check out the Defense Fund PDX street fair! More info in quoted post.

There will also be tee shirts and stickers for sale with this design that I whipped up. 100% of the proceeds are going to the bail fund.

throwback to my old house where there wasn’t even a dryer duct when i moved in, the dryer was just blasting lint on the basement wall, so i had to go get one and a cover for the vent outside (amazed we didn’t have rodents coming in the open hole already) asap 😬

he and noot want to be friends so bad but he tested positive for coccidia on tuesday and we have to keep them separate until he gets tested again next week and get his second dose for it 😭 he’s slipped out of the room three times and every time he cries so much despite being otherwise pretty quiet

he’s got the strongest motor!! he’s basically purred nonstop since i got him, even the whole drive home in traffic he purred and cuddled the hand i shoved in the carrier

new baby came home this week 🐈‍⬛

getting groceries the morning of a snow storm is a terrible idea but sometimes it results in running into @acabcats.bsky.social for the first time in over a year

a handheld brush made of a light wood with darker streaks. the bristles are in three distinct clumps pointing in different directions

what do we think of this little freak of a brush

started a project today that must be done and photographed and submitted to a call for entry by january 6 and i know if i was still full time in the shop it would be a piece of cake but now i have 50 other things i need to do with my time so we will see 😅

i am so broke and so unmotivated to go work outside in gardens where the ground is literally frozen 😫 i just wanna work on my woodworking projects

and of course the one company i applied to that actually is hiring, what do i get? crickets. but hey they posted the job i applied to a month ago on glassdoor today 🙃

i would like established woodworkers with furniture businesses to stop telling me i make better furniture than they do and just fucking hire me

meanwhile i be checking tools outta the tool library i don’t need BOOKS 😤

i noticed the star wars crochet book on our shelf again today if you wanna borrow it lol

i just remembered that my best friend literally lives in the basement and i still rarely seem them whoop i am good at socializing obviously

i entered three of my pieces in an international woodworking competition and i didn’t win anything but one made it into the top 100 and the other two were highly commended so i’m still pretty dang proud of myself 🥰🤩

oh yeah i was like finally someone i don’t have to feel guilty that i’m charging too much

my mom passed along an email from my aunt’s dad asking about me doing some refinishing work and texted me this morning to remind me that i should definitely say yes bc he is rich and has rich friends 👀

i am taking a class from yuri kobayashi the next three days and i am so excited!!!!

this reminds me of when i was a small child and had a baby toy that was a rabbit that you pulled to play a song and it was working inconsistently bc it was like 7 years old but i loved it dearly and i discovered that if i took it and whacked it on the pillow i could make it work again 😆

sleep tracking chart showing that i got 38% quality of sleep and only slept from 10-4am and have been awake for the last 2 hours

the amount of awake i feel for the amount of sleep i got is impressive

i keep wanting to call it a subscription

ya boi just got a lexapro prescription 🥳

my woodworking class made a signal group today to coordinate when we’re in the shop and some people had never even heard of signal and i turned to my classmate who does use signal and started to say “i forgot that…” “not everyone’s an anarchist?” yeah 😅

a wooden chest with a walnut frame and alternating cherry and maple sunburst shaped panels that is covered in clamps

i guess if i call myself the wood bitch i should prove it - current project status

fitting ridiculous amounts of lumber in cars that don’t look like they can fit them and then getting sawdusty with that lumber are my favorite things

a tray of freshly baked sticky buns with very nice swirls and dark caramelization

for some reason i’ve gone ham on the baking in the last couple months and i mashed together some recipes to make gf sticky buns tonight and it took twice as long as i expected it to 😅 so now i am going to bed at midnight

oooh so fancy!!

i was making a quesadilla and refried beans and rice when i found out

STOP POSTING and take this seriously.
NOW is the time when we establish our holiday traditions. What's our traditional Rest In Pissinger Day meal? Ham & champagne? Chicken fingers & port?? Clam chowder & espresso-tinis??? we must keep the tradition ALIVE (unlike kissinger) (who fuckin died lmaooo)

why is is that boxes of mac n cheese not only suggest that the butter is OPTIONAL (it’s necessary) but also that you should use UNsalted butter

do they hate things that are good
