I've had the privilege of serving a couple of torties, and, yeah, that look!!!! Both fondly remembered, especially for the brief period when they overlapped and adult former feral taught feral kitten how to tortie. Pic is younger tortie taking her turn w the next feral kitten.

Adult tortoise-shell cat with white chest sits curled up, disdainfully, next to grey calico kitten, but they are at least touching.

@terrily.bsky.social The 2 kinds of ear cuffs for dangles - I am going to try the 1st, since it dawned on me my glasses would cause problems w the 2nd. Can’t decide if I want to go pirate or gets pairs in sterling and in gold fill.

Plus, this style, which would allow me to play pirate:

This steel calavera should set the terms for the next zoom call.

Steel skull pendant, with engraving and bright paint - a calavera, sometimes called a sugar skull after the similar candy.

Turns out lightweight laundry totes make great cat beds when ‘accidentally’ knocked on their sides during zoomies.

Fluffy black cat lounging on tan towel and assorted other cloth in a yellow mesh laundry tote. The yellow handle hangs down over her head, making it clear that the tote is on its side.

My Becky was, I am convinced, the guardian keeping my pretty from blowing any further than the flowerbed beside the door in &$)@! Midwest gusts today. She kept my lovely new shiny close for me!

I love this, and will likely try something similar - your color choices are great! I might go very, very drape-y and use the Sewing Workshop Plaza jacket as a guide. May I ask, what yarn did you use?

@peculiarityshop.bsky.social my pretty, pretty shinies arrived today, and I may or not have pulled out my entire stash of chains and cords to see what does them justice. Thank you!!!!

2 silver pendants, 1 with a purple stone between 2 pearls, and 1 with a small, imperfectly round, pale blue stone that makes me think of Carl Sagan.

…and when you’re just done, it may spawn a cat who takes none of your excuses and pats at you until you stop and pet her. 2/2

Here’s my comforting thought. When you’re feeling a little scattered, your desk may spawn a cat. 1/2

Love the shapes, and agree all around! I have this pattern and will be making it in various lengths, necklines, and sleeve lengths. Still need to find the right full-but-not-too-full cropped pant pattern to go with. Minimalist wardrobe a la Simple Isn’t Easy (Amy Fine Collins), fast approaching!

Smitten Kitchen pumpkin bread, 9” sq pan, doubled the topping and used half cinnamon, half cardamom. Ditto in the bread itself - eliminating other elements of pumpkin spice to add cardamom, in almost equal amount, to the cinnamon. 50 mins at 350 in convection toaster oven. Dark spot is just shadow.

Very crumpled-looking pumpkin bread in square pan with lots of sugary topping.

Post a random picture or everything goes bad in August…

Yes. There are days when ‘They need me’ has to be enough. And it is.

This cat’s scary blood test results are, we discovered, due to a prescription dose error and NOT a worsening medical issue! (And, she can stay on the transdermal meds rather than 2x/daily body fights over pills.)

Tired AND suspicious. (Multiple sisters.)
