Sylenis Crafts 🪡🐮 🛸

We're talking "won't wash up after making a sandwich" levels of incompetence and "I had to beg for information on what dog eats which dog food" levels of Bullshit. The frustration is exhausting.

And everyone has just been watching me try to keep the house from falling down around their ears, nobody's helping me.

I feel like I'm catching a glimpse of my future as eldest kid. 30 years time when I'm 64 and she's 84 it's going to be all down to me, isn't it. Everyone else will check out again.

Bird head! Sylenis Crafts published a post on Ko-fi

If I can be angry on main for a moment, I'm really sorry this is so darn late (hoping to finish over the weekend) but my mom has been ill, like hospital level ill.

Happy International Day of People With Disabilities!
Today I'd like everyone to remind themselves that not all disabilities are visible, and that nobody owes a stranger an explanation for how they are using accommodations or aids.

Mega Lucario you say??

Fun fact the OG anthro pattern was based on the Mega Lucario one- that's why the waist is so skinny - pokemon proportions, plus gotta get that yellow jacket on him!

I've reduced his pattern down from 12€ to 5€ for December to celebrate!

I knew we were getting a new Lucario the second Korrina showed up in the trailer without him, and I'll be real I'm still feeling betrayed by Meganium's 100 T-shirt Challenge mega design so they can keep their mitts off my other faves for now.

I think my biggest "why" is "why are all three forms of Lucario the same typing" the pallete shape language is (to me) giving psychic or water as secondary typing. Maybe I just dreadfully misunderstand Lucario haha

it's an older pattern so it might not feel as in depth as my newer ones. There's seven years of experience and user feedback between this and the new pattern club patterns, so unless we made a new pair???

Nice to know my embroidery software is feeling as fragile as me (I have a cold and it's in my ears so I keep falling over)
I asked it to convert a simple running stitch shape into a satin stitch and it just started to cry and closed itself down. Good job, SEL.

Speaking of Nidoran Legends ZA should put them in so I can listen to them pitter patter down the street like little dinosaur bunnies.

The Nidoran trading in kanto was always super bizarre to me because you CAN get both, Female is just rarer in red and I would always catch both. So I'm pretty sure I didn't trade. Weird coincidence? Or faulty memory?

OK so I have NEVER done NPC trades in pokemon games since I got sent a Mr Mime and Farfetchd in Red and realised they were nicknamed and that's Unacceptable.

I'm listening to a long play and in FR a nidorina trade is nicknamed Nina. I always name my Nidoran Nina! What gives????

I get asked a lot where I get my Glitter Threads for eye embroidery (or the kpdh charms) and the answer is Madeira!

I did a little video answering Instagram comments, and explaining and reviewing all the thread types I'd tried at the time!

He does like to be by the fire, he sleeps on the couch at night and he does use a tray, but he does prefer to go potty outside so we go for little walks at lunch time so he can do his claws on trees and stretch his legs, then back in for kidney boosting soup and a nap!

It's dipping below freezing here and we're trying to keep the fire burning in the main room, but he needs a little help keeping his temperature up. He went downhill VERY fast and his reserves are low. He's climbing back up slowly.

Marv is on a long course of antibiotics for a blood parasite, and is already feeling better and has put 500g on.

But it's unseasonably cold here so this ex-feral grandpa is now rocking a minky turtleneck. It's "charmingly oversized" so I'll take it in a bit.

Little throwback to the Zorua charms and art I did. I really love the Hisui design!

I'm running 50% off my festive ITH charm patterns! (Reindeer and gingerbread shapes)

Did you know all my members get an automatic 15% off anything in my Digital Section? Pretty cool, right?

I did it, I bought discounted eggs on 16/11 and FINALLY on 28/11 I managed to make batter for a toad in the hole.

The sausages I bought last December when I'd originally planned to cook for my friend @cinnamonspaniel.bsky.social but we changed plans last minute. I will cook for you one day!

It's a testimony really that a few years ago I would have been having my famous anxiety nausea after reading that email, but mostly other than a tick of annoyance over the ludicrousness, I'm honestly just amused.

One day I might study the correlation between how big a discount a buyer got from me and how unhinged their review is.

"I haven't used it yet but I don't like the proportions"

There are several photos in the listing WHY DID YOU BUY IT IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT?

I do actually love building the patterns, but it's boring because I really have nothing interesting to show while tracing the pieces!
