Last Notes npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia Friends, enemies, strangers and everyone in between! How're you feeling on this fine Thursday? npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia Sometimes you wake up bright eyed and ready to face the day, sometimes you fumble and drop the same fucking earring three times before you can get it on in a motion you've probably done some, oh, probably eight thousand times at least in the course of your life? npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia Only if you very specifically want them npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia I'm glad I took enough time to baste the little square patches on, because I was absolutely out of effort by the time I got to last of the sewing. 😆 The blanket stitch took way too long, and eventually I just whipstitched the rest on. Good enough, structural integrity returned. npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia I've done one of four patches and somehow it's taking absolutely forever. And on a day when I don't have patience for something to take forever? And this is the simplest possible patch, even. Suboptimal. npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia The texture is going to be not smooth after patching it, and probably embroidering the patches, but. Not an issue if it's just decorative and not for sleeping! npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia I may be Finnish and used to Real Winter, but let it be said that my personal limit is at -30C and the forecasted -32C to -35 Celsius is too cold! Too cold! npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia A small man, in my bin of ironing! npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia Men of the Fediverse, an apparel poll! 👕 npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia Ihastuttava tuike silmissä! npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia I, tired and thinking about how refreshing a bit of common decency is: The bar is so low you could store depleted uranium on top of it. npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia One of the good things about feline assistants, in addition to the morale bonus, is that whenever you need to find your scissors all you need to do is check under the cat, and they'll be under the cat. npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia And, at the end, quite sweet despite the patina of the era: "WHEN you have completed your dress, it may not be perfect in every respect, but if you have been careful, it will surely be very nice, and something of which you may be very proud, because it represents much care and thought. npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia Excerpt, foreword: "It is not the most cheerful thing in the world to look over a wardrobe full of old dresses, and to decide how they can be made over so as to do duty for another season. npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia Thinking about this old book I read, "How to make over old dresses" by Augusta Prescott, 1892. In it she tells us how to take apart, wash, possibly re-dye and then make a new dress out of an old one... And past the whole of "a good housewife simply must properly clothe her legion of children" it's fascinating. How much effort went into it, because if you weren't rich, that was good fabric and you had to make do! npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia Have I posted this? I don't think I've posted this. A sir, napping. npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia Kerv is being very helpful. npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia I have made just enough of a dent in the ironing basket, in some hour and a half of ironing, for the sir to fit inside the basket also. He is of course more pleased than I am. npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia A small man has been keeping me company for the tea. npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia The tea itself is quite nice. Certainly nice enough that I'm on my third cup, past the desire for caffeine but enjoying the taste. npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia My little cast iron teapot is so little it makes my little teacup look enormous. 😆 npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia Ooh. Am I gonna heat up and brew in the cast iron teapot for this? I think I shall! npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia Today, regrettably, I must iron. The ironing basket is once again full and I'm not doing anything time sensitive in general, and there's a new podcast episode and also I did fuck all the whole of last night, so I should probably do something today so I can comfortably rest tomorrow should I like. npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia A random curiosity poll, about emigration! 🏡 npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia You'd enjoy her multiple forays into "why the fuck is this like this now??" about it, she's bought an actual Art Deco house (as in, built in the era, when they didn't even call it that yet) and has been trying to make it look not like a mishmash of multiple misguided renovations since. 😆 npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia From Nicole Rudolph's new video (now on Patreon, out on Youtube tomorrow) talking about why the new "Art Deco" is nothing like actual art deco, and is aiming for luxury instead: “Or rather, what the manufacturers selling luxury are trying to convince us. Often, that's a combination of technology, skill, and the opposite of whatever the last 10 years of style has been. The late 1970s loved earth tones and heavy textures. Soft pastels and smooth surfaces are new, trendy, and therefore expensive, because you have to have just bought them.” npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia Hey what's that Fediverse co-op shop for crafts and such called? I don't remember the name and my search results are unhelpful. npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia Three cats! I was trying to show how Karvinen likes being carried like an oversized shot put ball, but then of course, two more cats. 😆 npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia Slept badly, decided to have a day in bed. Have been reading and now have three cats in bed with me. npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia Hey, did you know about the Underpinnings Museum? I didn't! It's an online collection of underwear from across the ages and I've been looking at it for a little bit now, high quality images and even more high quality descriptions. Wonderful! npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia A thought that broke my heart a little bit: Imagine if all of this AI nonsense money would have been spent on building, repairing and maintaining railways and building new trains? The billions! Instead of all this harm, there could be continent spanning rail and people could stop fucking flying, too. 😶 npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia "Good morning, mother! Bath time!" npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia A poll! 🗺️ Were you to be playing an open world game that was truly open world in that it was a globe and you could go anywhere on the globe, continuously, in real time... npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia A story and a poll, about tea and community! npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia For months he's worked at clawing off the protective film on my new PC case. Today, he finally did it! I let him unroll it until he started trying to chew it, and then took the rest off. 😆 npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia Thinking about if there could be a way to have An Actual Person look through my follow requests list. Just collate some sort of series of lists, like... "These people share your interests and you might like to follow back" and "seems fine, let these follow you" and "nah the vibe is off, deny" etc. npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia Random life tip for dealing with the people in your life who are stressed and/or have anxiety: npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia An encouraging take on why and how to stop using Pinterest, which us people looking for specific image references have hated for years because of how it's poisoned image search... (The original source! Give it to me!) npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia Thinking about how some time ago I asked people here about good email options (I'm sorted now, thanks) and so many people perfectly sincerely suggested self-hosting something. And when I asked about an EU-based alternative to Dropbox there were also suggestions about buying hosting from AWS (Ha! HA!) And setting up NextCloud... npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia Shawl surprise is something of a long tradition. This one's from 2020: npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia Karvinen has fairly useless fur, silky smooth and thin and short sans any cat wool, so he's even more for the cuddles and lap time than he usually is. The other two boys at least have the sense to have a substantial amount of the underwoollies and fluff so they're not quite as chilly npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia It is the season! Shawl season! Tagging in #Selfie so people can filter out, but this is here so you can look at my cat! npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia How can I possibly need to pee again: An autobiography npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia Anyway, finished the embroidery last night! Here it is in two slightly different lightings! I'll have to figure out if I can make a clasp purse out of it or something, but here we are, a flower. npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia My fucking sound card isn't working properly, and despite Linux Mint miraculously fixing it for months after it not working properly on Windows, it's just now not registering no matter how I bother the kernel with my novice skills, or how many reboots I do... So maybe I should just get another one, see if that helps. npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia I am not tamperelainen and can only speak from personal experience and through the shared experiences of my aunt who is, but gosh heck. It's just a perfect word, formed in a perfect way. Language, what a thing! npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia I'm going to tell you a very darling dialect word and about Finnish buses. npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia Gaze upon him! The boy! npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia A triple-cat has occurred in the region, pausing all screen access and video enjoyment! npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia Join me in having a perfectly meh morning. Nothing incredibly wrong with you personally, just not into it, missing that pep in your step, not in possession of the the vim to get into the day, it's later than you think and you're still not really awake, and oh is there nothing sufficiently exciting in the good way going on. npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia Hirvi joka kuulee saman äänen tulevan useasta eri pöntöstä pitkin ja poikin lääniä: Ei helvetti tuo on kova laukkomaan tuo muija 🫎 npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia If nothing else, silent movies have also taught me that both audacity and parkour are time honoured means of confounding and escaping the constabulary, and that's kind of beautiful. npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia Ah yes, there's the racism. Got into about halfway through the movie before they got to it, but here we are again. Oh, silent films, you're wonderful and you're such shit both at the same time. npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia Movies before the Hays Code are sort of a delight. It seems they have simultaneously not invented being gay and also not being mad about being gay. There's just scantily clad women hugging and petting each other's hair, a full complement of sailors dancing together in pairs on the deck of a ship. The wildest things people say to each other. "Oh, I don't have any need for men. I love you more than I love anyone!" 🌈 npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia Also, at least so far this is very fun and thus far not even racist. One of my favourites so far, the incredibly gay and gay The Wild Party (1929) managed to be okay for almost the entire runtime and then they crammed all the racism into the very last five minutes! We'll see how this one fares. 😆 npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia Strange and hard to replicate pleasures: When you've got an old silent film playing, but also just your own music in the background, and somehow A Sailor-Made Man from 1921 and Bei Bei & Shawn Lee's Into The Wind from 2010 just perfectly sync up. npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia The line that made me want to lie down for a little bit was something like "We water more acres of grass than the next three crops combined" and then I thought how much less of a water crisis there would immediately be if everyone stopped watering their lawns, and that made me both hopeful and despair. npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia Want to get your blood pressure up, but also be entertained? Climate Town's lawn episode has you! You already knew about the pesticides that kill you, the fertiliser you wouldn't need to use without the pesticides, but did you know just how much water lawn drinks up in the US and carbon and pollution they emit because lawn mowers? Way too fucking much! npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia So you wake up suddenly bonded to an immortal and mostly sentient shrimp. It's about the size of a ballet slipper and has the cognitive capabilities of a really clever parrot, and is mostly capable of taking care of itself, consuming lint, things off the floor and anything you give it. It understands speech up to a point, recovers from horrific injuries without issue and is pretty friendly... The only real issue is that the government absolutely cannot know about the shrimp. npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia Hello, it is I, Sini. I am in a silly mood and procrastinating getting started on multiple things, and the mind wanders. npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia A poll about farming, part two! Only read after voting in the previous one above! npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia A frivolous poll, about farming! 🌾 npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia It seemed like a good idea, people who are into a fourth cat can make sure to look at all relevant updates, and people who aren't into it can mute it. 😆 npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia Gaze upon the visiting sir! npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia 😬 That's worrisome even without any further data! npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia Gave my boys their breakfast, started looking for Rudolf to give him his. Couldn't find him. "Oh fuck, have I really truly lost Mum's cat in my 49m2 flat??" npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia Me, personally? Sometimes I'd rather murder a (horrible, conveniently close by) man just so I didn't need to pee another fucking time on top of the 11 million other times I've already needed to pee that day, that week, that month, all my life forever and ever npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia A poll! 🚽 npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia The littlest sir has worries. Enhance! npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia My previous flat had a Secret Roof Leak, which wasn't the roof leaking exactly but rather the rain water drain leaking into the wall for probably years... My wall, specifically! There's been a number of plumbing troubles in this flat, too. I shall never in my life trust water again! npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia It was an easy fix and should be alright now, but I was correct to live in fear and distrust because water is a force to be respectful of, and though we have conquered it to a great decree, it's an uphill battle, water is vengeful and we must stay vigilant 🌊 npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia SOMETHING IS LEAKING. Of course it is npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia I also absolutely will not trust everything working properly until I've also successfully used the washing machine without any calamity, but am definitely too tired to do so yet! npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia I have finally gotten up and dressed at about half past three in the afternoon. Still so so tired npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia The video is from yesterday but representative of my emotional condition at this time. npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia Yesterday Pörri hid all day in the bed while I managed the installing of a new bathroom sink. Today he is traipsing around playing while I am firmly remaining in bed. 😐 npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia A poll about attire to stay warm! npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia He yearns for the teacup. npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia Where did this thought come from? I was listening to some theremin notes in an ambient soundtrack in the background of an actual play show I like, and got into thinking how it's an absolute bitch to learn and how it's a weird and almost entirely useless skill to have, but cool. npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia A random poll, perhaps more random than usual! 🎶 npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia I tried to document his works and the photo is a bit shaken because he would not stop headbutting my hands and the camera. It's a good thing I made the new ironing board cover out of very sturdy fabric! npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia I have restrained myself from replying to a comment on Youtube, but here I am instead. The comment: "I want to dress like this so bad, I just cant find cheap clothes that go with this style" npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia I am a birthday girl for about 24 hours! Please choose a greeting for maximum birthday wishes efficiency! npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia Yesterday's sewing, finished the upper front skirt panel! Picked out the tucked section, joined some more lace and inserted it, hemmed the entire panel and surrounded it with more lace... Now I just need to hem the back section so I can attach that to the vertical lace strips. And then it's off to making ludicrous amounts of tucked ruffle strip again as soon as I get more fabric. npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia I'm sure you've seen this fantastic clip of Garak meeting Bashir for the first time, with the edits, but you should also watch it again. Hand, indeed! npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia Yesterday's sewing, more detail: Got the first tier of ruffle on, sandwiched it between the seam allowance of the skirt portion, tacked it down by hand, topstitched from the right side... Not only does it give a nicely encased and finished seam on the inside, it also seems to keep the springiness of the ruffle slightly in check? Nice. npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia Hello, hi! If it pleases you, please briefly describe to me one of your favourite memories that cost absolutely nothing or practically nothing, but has stuck with you! Peak broke life, I could say. npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia (Oh, and as per usual: If you ever end up watching a nice or delightfully reasonably video about something linked from Mastodon/Fediverse, please take the time to comment "Mastodon sent me here" or something along the lines, so creatives and creators actually know that people are on here and that they could be on here, too! npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia Too long didn't watch: You don't need to buy things for the sake of buying things, unlike pretty much every force on earth is trying to tell you. Keeping and wearing the clothes you already own (or are now getting if you've changed size, gender, living situations or anything of that sort) for as long as you possibly can is always the most ethical and most sustainable option! npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia Meanwhile, a short video about the state of the second hand clothes market, how capitalism seeks to ruin everything, and how overconsumption is overconsumption even if it's second hand: npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia A random fantasy abode poll! 🏘️ npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia He makes disgruntled noises when I try to gently extricate him, so fine. We'll see if Improbable Cat Physics holds or if I'm going to be picking clean laundry off the floor as the day progresses. npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia I have completed the bumblebee embroidery! Here it is behind a veil because lol, putting on the legs and antennae made it look so much more like a real bee... I could keep working on it, but shall move on! npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia The problem with sort of winging it, only looking at one photo of a bumblebee and not the specific pose of the bee you're doing, and barely sketching it on and just going stitch by stitch... Means that I now must ponder Bee Physics, so I can figure out where the legs go and what the antennae do... Sort of trying to materialise a number of saved clips of bees in motion from my brain onto the fabric. 😆 npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia I did also fix the middle bits of the flower yesterday, but was too tired to post it. npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia 4th day using Linux. I've not yet connected my printer, but pretty much everything else I've got... And I'm just doing my usual things without issue, and that's with some slightly niche requirements from my computer. npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia I have accomplished the bumblebee looking much friendlier and more alive, and the flower looking less flat, and also better colours for the photo! npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia In other news, I've been working on this bit of embroidery for far longer than I should have, and am in the process of unpicking bits of it to redo them... npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia Also I typed out my very first command in Terminal this morning, I hope you're all collectively very proud of me. npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia It's very much the same vibe as open source things for Windows also, which I am quite familiar with. But the dial for Oops All Personal Passions has been cranked to the max, I feel.
