Tanya

Sitting on the edges of a cardboard box are a variety of framed cross stitch images completed by my mother. On the left are three ballerina/gymnastics bears in different poses. On the right is a bunny holding an egg that has the name “Tanya” written on it. Beneath that is a rocking horse that says “The best thing to spend on your children is time”.

When you reach the back of the closet and open a box you’ve ignored for years and find the decorations from your childhood bedroom 🥰 @kahluanut.bsky.social

A 7.5ft artificial Christmas tree that is incomplete. Currently it only has the inner white lights added and a tree skirt (red with gold stars and snowflakes) placed at the base.

It begins…
I was delayed by seeing if I could find a new 7ft pre-lit tree that I liked and could afford - I did not find one. Thank you past me for leaving the branches fluffed! I have to get a new angel topper, the one I’ve had since childhood is looking a little fire-hazardy.

Pop the head off a Ken doll and do a little surgery. 😈🔪

A blue Christmas stocking with white plush trim. On the main part of the stocking there are multiple Care Bears characters, a cloud castle, and rainbow. Inside the stocking I have placed two hugging Care Bears.

I was not planning to buy more Christmas stuff, I don’t even know where I will hang it yet, but it is Care Bears and my heart insisted it was a necessity for living so here we are 🤪

I'm not done, but I know that I have to start early if I'm going to get it done. I've also had to do things differently this year to figure out how to decorate in a way that I could quickly dismantle in the event of a ceiling leak. The upper corner of pic 2 is why I haven't decorated since 2022.

A cutesy Christmas decor collection featuring gnome santas, nature snowpeople, a very pink nutcracker, reindeer, alpaca, and a flamingo snowglobe

A more traditional colour scheme section featuring decorative boxes, a fake decorative book that says “Merry Christmas”, two containers filled with Christmas picks, and a nutcracker. In the forefront you can also see a festive cat pillow that says “FA la la la la la la la laaa” placed in such a way as to taunt the Christmas haters 😛

It is November 1st and I am now allowed to post it without being yelled off the internet, though I will no doubt generate groans 😅

This is so bloody cute! 😍

Don’t know about others but generally when I envision cuddling my cat it’s usually the other end I have in mind.

Mummeh stawp playin on ur interboxes n love my butt 😽

remember: if you start your day earlier, that’s more day you’re going to have to get through, what on earth are you thinking

COASTERS

Both my mother and I have suddenly forgotten the real word for… cup placemats? Not saucers, other thingie… 🥴

She'd totally let you, too - she's become an even bigger cuddler in the last couple years 🥰

Madame Poppykins, a cat with long and poofy white and brown fur. She is lying on a blanket covered in snowmen and resting her head on a folded quilt while looking into the camera with one eye slightly blocked by her own belly fluff.

I’m not allowed to tell people what I’m doing until November 1st without being yelled off the internet, but it *has* caused me to clean things that haven’t been cleaned since 2022 and I’m quite proud of that. I even found new underwear with price tags still attached under one pile of mess! 😅

Forbidden love

I've been on a two day sim dump binge and I have absolutely no clue what is going on in the world 🫠

My purchase of seven bags of Kerr's lollipops was entirely an effort to support Canadian jobs I swear

Happy Birthday!

Two Care Bears stuffies sitting on a shelf. The first care bear is Grumpy Bear dressed as Frankenstein and the second is Tenderheart Bear dressed as Dracula.

My mum gifted me TWO new Care Bears today, they’re so frickin cute omfg

Benjamina!!! 🥰

I wasn’t there. I didn’t know anyone who was killed, and I didn’t know anyone who knew anyone who was killed. I was 14 and a high school freshman in Central Texas and over 1,700 miles away when it happened.
