(8/8) it was so warm and sunny today we also stopped for gelato before heading to the airport

Me and Tage Thompson - I have a previous photo with him and 3 of his Buffalo teammates that makes me look like I am in a hole because they are all giant. At least here the people in the background show that he's just taaalllll.

Me and Jack Hughes. He came out with his brother Quinn who absolutely threw Jack to the wolves (especially the guys with folders of trading cards) so he could run to their uber...

Final day we didn't have any tickets for events so we saw a bit of the city, met more hockey boys and also a figure skater for variety... (5/8)

Me and Ilia Malinin - a figure skater for a change. Was the heavy favourite for gold but had a nightmare in the final

Short video from day 2 figure skating

Day 2 we also met some Finnish players then went to watch a practice session for the figure skating - we caught the last bit of pairs then the men's free skate. Then from there to our 2nd hockey game (3/8)

Spent the last 3 days in Milan taking in some Winter Olympics action. Day 1 we arrived around lunchtime, and before heading to our first game that evening we snuck in a few pics with some hockey boys... (1/7?)

So i had absolutely intended on going to bed after I posted last night but... I have now officially used all of the eyes, stuffing and almost all the yarn that came in the kit. Part 2 of the kit is due next month so some dinos may get (fraternal) twins but also may investigate other options

Baby yellow arumigumi plesiosaur with thin blue stripes

Pale yellow arumigumi raptor with tiny white teeth. Failing at being fierce just as hard as the t-rex

Updated arumigumi dino squad (final version at least until more materials arrive)

Erin @etmuse.uk · 19/10/2025

The crew only just fit onto the box lid together now. I have enough materials left for 1 maybe 2 more, at which point they'll need a new photoshoot spot...

The arumigumi dinosaur squad. Pterodactyl, brontosaurus, t-rex, triceratops, stegosaurus and ankylosaurus.

Erin @etmuse.uk · 19/10/2025

Got quite a little collection of dinosaurs (and 1 pterosaur) at this point...tomorrow I need to do actual useful house things...

Blue arumigumi brontosaurus with pink spikes.

Pastel yellow arumigumi tyrannosaurus rex with a pink belly and pink spikes. Despite his visible little teeth he is not as fierce as he wants to be.

Pink arumigumi ankylosaurus with purple spikes and tail clubs.

I backed a board game last year from club crochet which has the option of crafting dinosaur pieces instead of using the cardboard ones. It finally arrived this week (along with one part of the crochet materials addon I chose) so I have been making amigurumi dinosaurs! #lavarun #clubcrochet

A purple crochet stegosaurus with yellow spikes sits next to a pink crochet triceratops with white horns. They are sitting on top of the box for the board game they will be part of which has several multicoloured dinosaurs printed on it.

Hockey is only gonna get me a couple more on this list (Seattle and Pittsburgh), and given that I'm not doing US trips right now (for obvious reasons) might be a whole before I get as far as 30

Been a busy weekend in Paris (bookended by flight delays... 1.5h on the way here and currently estimated around the same to get home). Saturday wandered around a beautiful park in the HOT for GoFest (followed by a quick stop by Notre Dame on my way to food), today FRR5 convention fun.

Château de Seaux in Paris, with a giant inflatable Pikachu in front of it. Taken from some distance away in the gardens.

Had my picture done with some actor types at convention this morning, still trying to work out if I can get there in time tomorrow to also get the Sunday-only guest... (Being able to leave at 2.45pm is nice when I'm doing a con 'from home', con doing all autos now and I didn't buy any)

I'm not so good at the stage door pic thing without my regular photographer... (Aka I'm bad at selfies but sometimes needs must)

Finished building my furniture (minus a couple shelves due to a missing piece from IKEA), all that's left is sorting through all the boxes of *stuff* in my flat to decide what goes in (new) loft, under bed, in wardrobe, in hall cupboard or in living room shelving...

IKEA units are waiting for tomorrow but after 5 hours of building and duvet-covering, I have a bed, in my bedroom, ready for me to sleep in it!

A bedroom. There is a raised bed with purple and yellow sheets, a purple rug and purple walls (in 2 shades). The curtains at the window match the yellow of the bed linens. A wooden chest of drawers is under the bed. Boxes of as yet unbuilt IKEA furniture are just visible at the edge of the photo.

Since my overtired brain is apparently rebelling against the sleep I really really need... Crappy phone-pics of pics from my madcap day trip to a convention in France today (yesterday?). Will scan and edit properly to go on my website but...

Me and Danielle Favre. I queued for about 6 million hours for this photo as she doesn't seem to know that photos are supposed to be a pretty quick process...

I may not actually have a bed (it arrives in ~a week) but I HAVE A BEDROOM! Scotia fitted, wardrobe doors put back on (with new handles and a new mirror inside) and floor swept up of the latest round of sawdust. Next week will be moving clothing and (some) furniture back in while awaiting new bed!

Empty room. Floor is a light oak laminate, walls are dark/light purple. There's a window and a radiator in view. Everything is freshly painted and the flooring is also new.

Another view of the empty room, this time showing a fitted wardrobe with white doors and wooden knobs. The door to the room is visible in the corner and is propped open.

The same room, this time with a new purple rug off-centre in the still otherwise empty space.

There's a new mirror on the back of one of the wardrobe doors, seen up against the dark purple wall of the room.

Erin @etmuse.uk · 27/11/2024

Finished laying my laminate both in the main bedroom and inside the fitted wardrobe/closet space. Just the scotia edging left to put down, which hopefully I can get done tomorrow! I'm so close to done I can taste it! I'm so pleased with how it is looking. 😃😃

A room which is empty aside from a small collection of boxes along one wall (which contain edging materials and leftover laminate). The floor is freshly fitted with pale oak laminate. The far wall is dark purple, the others are pale purple. There is a (currently doorless) fitted wardrobe on the left and a window on the right. The windowsill is covered in decorating ephemera.

Another view of the same purple room, from beside the previously mentioned window. We can see into the wardrobe and also the door to the room on the top left. A small stepladder is visible through the door.

Another view of the room, from another corner. This time between the wardrobe and the dark purple wall. We have a better view of the pile of flooring materials.

Final corner, between the window and the wall with the door in it. The room looks empty from this point of view.

Erin @etmuse.uk · 25/11/2024

Made a good start on laying my new laminate floor - just under half of the main room done. And nearly all of the 'fiddly' bits are in that half so should definitely get the rest done over the next few evenings! Then it's just fitting Scotia beading at the edges and I will be done!

Empty room with nearly half of the floor covered in pale coloured laminate flooring. There are orange spacers visible at the walls.

Erin @etmuse.uk · 24/11/2024

Got all my flooring and the tools etc I will need into the bedroom ready for me to start laying it tomorrow after work!

A pile of boxes of laminate flooring in a mostly empty room, next to a box with a laminate cutter and a small stepladder with a box of tools on it

Erin @etmuse.uk · 23/11/2024

Last of the painting is done! Skirting boards and door surrounds all pure dead brilliant white, like the doors, windowsill and radiator before them. The various tools and accessories I bought for laying the laminate have all arrived so everything is ready for the next job!

The view of the inside of a fitted wardrobe, which is mostly empty. The rest of the room is also empty, with a bare chipboard floor. The walls are light/dark purple; all of the woodwork is newly painted brilliant white.

An empty room, with a bare chipboard floor. There is a window with a radiator beneath it. The windowsill is filled with decorating detritus. The walls are light/dark purple; all of the woodwork is newly painted brilliant white.

Got my carpet and underlay all ripped out and everything all sorted to be collected by the waste company on Thursday

View through a door into a room. The visible wall is purple. There is a pile of stuff on the floor, including a mattress and rolls of carpet. The floor is bare.
