A black kitten looks confused in a grey baby onesie with dinosaurs on it.

Bought a onesie pattern. Didn’t actually make a onesie for the actual baby, made it instead for the kitten who is getting fixed this week (he hates it)

Let him in, it looks like he has something important to tell you about your car’s extended warranty

Look at that big ole moo-cat!

A black and tabby cat paused in the middle of a wrestling match, looking confused as to what’s going on.

There’s three cat brain cells in the house. Nadja has permanent custody of two of them and partial custody of the third, leaving Spicy and Leo to pass one back and forth occasionally.

unpopular stance: ACAB includes Scully but not Mulder, because there's absolutely no way Fox Mulder understands what the law really is or that his job is to enforce it. he has less capacity for moral cognition than a K9 unit.

A colorwork pair of socks made out of odds and ends, so each section is different colors.

The Franken-socks are done. In our house, it’s a rule that pets must pose with finished knitted objects. Tonight it was Spicy’s turn to pose

It’s about right for some root crops and peas but most everything else will wait until May

First planting day at the Eastpointe Community garden! I’m in charge of planting the u-pick area this year and this morning cabbage, beats and radishes went in.

She’s fine, she just needed an updated prescription for her special food for her sensitive tummy

The ironic thing is is that Nadja doesn’t even know just how many things there are to scream about today

a woman wearing glasses says `` you say a lot of lies '' . ALT: a woman wearing glasses says `` you say a lot of lies '' .

“High, high, ya both high!” I yell. The cats, born years after the golden age of teen mom 2, do not understand

It’s Nadja and Car Lot Leo’s birthday. They got a new scratching post, time to plot plots and several grams of catnip… which they shared with the kitten.

Shout out to my vintage Wizard Citation sewing machine. Her name is Barbie after her original owner, my mom, who gave her to me earlier this year.

Finished the scrap quilt and Spicy Bean Burrito (correctly) assumed that it’s just for him

A white lady looks directly at the camera and smiles while a tabby cat perches on the beige couch behind her.

Car Lot Leo is the only animal I’ve ever had that doesn’t look like he’s in a proof of life video when I take selfies of us

This season’s icicles on last season’s sunflowers

I have it on the best authority that 7 am is the best time to try out the wrestling moves you saw on tv.

fun fact: drake is the only musician in history to be almost killed on television twice

Onto the actual quilting part!

Just finished reading Midnight! There was just enough horses to make this horse girl happy

It only took a week but Leo and Spicy are bffs again

Pieced together my first quilt top and measured out the backing! It’s 40”x84”.

He is so long for no reason at all

Shipping him might be a bit of a hassle but I’ll do it if you teach him to ride the ponies

In college I took a quiz that told me that my spiritual gift was naming things, because evangelical christians love to over-spiritualize everything. I couldn’t just be someone with an unhinged imagination and very little filter.

Moo deng in the top photo not looking happy at being picked up, the bottom photo is a small black kitten violently attacking a beige colored shoe.

And the runt of the litter was Captain Crusty, who daily waged battle against the oppressive tyranny of shoes. She now has a name from Lord of the Rings

The others in the litter also had great names. This is Shipping Canal and she loves sewing machine maintenance. She has a new name now, even though I made the teens in the family promise to keep her name.

One of my foster kittens came back to me this weekend (through no fault of his or his adopter). Spicy Bean Burrito (middle) got so much bigger! He’s still the biggest sweetheart too

I was gonna type that I’ve had all these leftovers for over a decade and was like “nah, it couldn’t have been that long” but then realized that it has been. I knit socks out of all those yarns before I started my current job (and I just passed my 9 year anniversary at this job)

I tell myself the same lies! Or I think “I know what everything I’m planting looks like”… which is another lie
