The third year's the charm. Our cover of Wake Me Up When September Ends is finally done and releasing on the most obvious date. We attempted to get it done for the last two years but life invariably kept happening (as it tends to) and we kept missing the self-imposed deadline. 🙃

Bought a pen a few weeks ago, lost it immediately (as one does) While having my supper, I hear a *new noise* and discover The Goob is playing with one disassembled half of said pen Where was it hiding? How did it become disassembled? Where is the other half now? Alright, Goose, keep your secrets

At what point does a Medley become a...Hoard? In terms of numbers of songs that make an appearance. I FEEL like a medley can be anything from 3 songs upwards, but is there an upper limit? And is that limit 13? Because if so, I might need to come up with a more accurate term for the newest song.

Bit warm innit. Also I'll be at @sotfest.uk on Friday 10th July banging out some tunes. If you have a particular song you absolutely positively MUST hear me sing, make your case for it in the comments. 😉

Throwback to 6 years ago today when we were getting damp and mould in the bedroom at our old place and they told us it was our fault, then we removed the damp mouldy wallpaper in the bedroom closet and discover they had actually just wallpapered over a vent.

A pile of wallpaper scraps and the now bare wall of a closet (which the wallpaper once hung on). A hand with a scraper is incredulously pointing at a closed white plastic vent duct-taped to the wall of said closet.

'They screamed really politely' My husband explaining why he was giving the cats more ham. Also heard were the words 'Don't tell your mother' and 'they're very persuasive when they're focused'. I think I am the strict, boring parent. Never thought I'd see the day.

Spiritually, this picture features the department head and deputy manager of Screams. Focused on persuasive screaming, ham acquisition and persuading the tall fleshbags to do their bidding.
Visually there is a mostly black cat in the background (the deputy manager, Seymour) and a Calico manager in the foreground (Lulu).

Mentally processing crappy stuff can look like a lot of things. Today it looked like sitting in my studio until 5am recording and orchestraring a mash-up of bits from 12 songs from my favourite artist. The fact that I just did the musician equivalent of 'lining up my toys' is not lost on me.

Giving me access to a drawing tablet and the ability to print proxies was a mistake. #magicthegathering

Because I enjoy both #magicthegathering and cats and entirely normal amount, I drew a proxy of Lulu as my Ygra for one of my commander decks. Like you do 😅

Just completed KCD2 (excellent game by the way, nice one @warhorsestudios.bsky.social ). I would like to assert that the venn diagram of people who enjoyed Merlin (the 2008-2012 TV Series) and people who went on to romance Hans Capon in KCD2 is a circle. A circle I am a part of. 10/10 great game

I've got new song releasing in just over a week! It's a fan song about @abioticfactor.com (an incredible game that I love a totally normal amount). It'll be premiering on my Youtube as well as releasing on various streaming services. Meanwhile, here's a Pest I crocheted/partially knitted. 👍

D&D Bard idea A middle aged woman called Sandra who does the PA announcements at the supermarket. Tell me that 'ding ding ding cleanup on aisle 3' isn't low key a command person spell. Her instrument would be a tiny glockenspiel and she would become the exasperated party mum. #D&D

Can anyone explain what is wrong with my cat? Wrong answers only please (Fyi there is nothing wrong with her because she is perfect and beautiful in every single way. Also the pink thing is a pom-pom, her brother has an unhealthy obsession with them) #cat #notquitesurehowhashtagsworkhereyet

I've been working on designing a 2-in-1 Andean plying tool and niddy noddy. It was only two hours into 3D modelling it that I realised I had made a uterus. It's made even funnier by the way it fits together when in niddy noddy mode. She's perfect and I will not be changing a thing #spinning

Peak Brit humour, courtesy of my husband. He's a keeper.

I had an idea and made a thing. If you have a mighty need to make various sizes and tensions of I-Cord and lucet cord with the same tool and also need it in BRIGHT COLOURS then do I have a deal for you. Letting me learn how to 3D model and print was, in hindsight, unwise. #icord #lucet #knitting

Found an alien abduction happening in a music theory workbook. There is an illustrator somewhere with a sense of humour.

I am far worse at selling things than I am at making things. This is a thing I made that you can purchase on my Etsy if you want. It also exists in spinner only flavour and in a few different designs. Also when weight testing it managed to lift my full size wooden spinning wheel so, there's that.

Turns out my dear husband put this post-it note in my theory dictionary THREE YEARS AGO And I found it during teaching while looking something up. It's staying there.

Where my tatters at? I make these and you can obtain them in exchange for money, such is the world in which we find ourselves. I'm good at making things but bad at selling things. Also they work with sewing machine bobbins, so that's cool. #tatting #tattedlace #shuttletatting #tattingshuttle

Seymour is a big fan of pompoms. He particularly likes dropping them into the toilet and leaving them around the shower drain. We counted a total of seven earlier. We can only assume he's making offerings to Poseiden and those locations are the closest he can get.

I don't care what you think women want to hear. What we actually want to hear is: 'i baked you a fresh loaf of bread'. I will not be taking criticism at this time because I am 100% correct.

As well as my most recent song (on my Spotify, it's Tolkein flavoured, you'll love it) I've been 3D modelling and prototyping a Very Cool Thing™️ if you enjoy weaving but hate warping. Once I've printed a decent amount of backlog of these and ordered enough bolts in these will be for sale 🎉

Eventual Christmas present for my resident Stardew Valley fisherman/husband. It shall eventually be emblazoned with many Stardew fish and be an excellent t-shirt. First time cross stitching with soluble fabric too. Not as bad as I'd expected!

Partway through some weaving and the cats kept treading on the warp threads. So to protect it overnight, I improvised. Looks like it's ready to go in the oven. 'whats wrong babe, you've barely touched your Ashford 32" Rigid Heddle Loom' #weaving #cats
