Yeah I have found them helpful in the past @Ru-bee … the butterfly foundation. I guess I’m just a bit cautious with what I share there cause they can overreact at times. But maybe I can give them a try.
yeah I’ve got a few craft projects on the go at the moment. Making sure I have all my stock up to date for markets. We have 4 markets in November, 2 being special Christmas events. I also have some Christmas themed pieces that I need to make some up. Have a few left over from last year, so added some more. I also have a few end of year teacher gifts that I make. So need to make some up of them. One I am redoing as I have a cricut now. And… I’m adding some little desk calendars using my cricut machine. That’s been driving me insane cause I’m using a template that someone else made within the program and I’m editing it which is being painful! But I’ve finally got it fixed!
And then I have my worry stones.
And my junk journal. Haven’t really been doing much of either of them cause I’ve been busy doing all of the above plus the kittens.

Oh wow, lots on the go @Bow!
Cricuts are amazing, my sister has one and she let me use it for a bit and now I want one too. I think my partner would say that I've already got enough craft stuff and not enough places to put them all...
4 markets in November sounds like it's going to be a busy month in the lead up to Christmas! I always love going to markets before Christmas to get all my gifts for extended family (and maybe a few for myself too)
I've got next week off work and I'm planning to use some of the time to get around to all the craft things I've been putting off! I've got a painting I'm meant to do for a friend, I started it weeks ago and then just haven't gone back to it... then there's a quilt that I started a full 10 years ago that I finally want to finish! Hoping I can channel some of your crafty productivity
How are the kitties and mumma Taylor today?

Cricuts have soooo much potential @Ru-bee ! I bought a secondhand one hmmm months ago. But recently the rollers went on it and they needed replacing. My mum actually bought me a whole new machine after I told her the effort it is to change the rollers. But I’m still going to do it and then sell it. I haven’t done too much with them yet.. did make a cool silhouette shadow type birthday card for my daughter that shows a smidge of what it could do though.
Yep.. 4 markets. It feels overwhelming. One is our usual market. 2 Christmas ones and then one that we sometimes do. I will see how I’m feeling as to whether I do the last one cause mum will be in tassie.
I hope you get some crafting done while your off work! Maybe you could show some of your finished pieces when you come back?
mumma Taylor and her babies are all good. Putting weight one which is great.
I’ve just been out to see my SW. we had a cuppa at a local cafe. I had hoped to try and broach the subject of this things going on as a result of my ED behaviour, but nope. My SW talked ALOT.
And I’m tired. Another bad night

They are good @Eve7 putting weight on. But mumma keeps trying to move them. I have them in a special cat enclosure downstairs. And when I am down there working I will let mumma out so she can wander and such. But she will try and move them somewhere else.

@Eve7 Once the babies have weaned off mum, she will go back to the shelter to be desexed and then placed up for adoption. Then once the babies are big enough for desexing they will all go back to the shelter.
