Elanor @mayakittenreads.bsky.social · 10/10/2026Still need to do A LOT of backstitch detail on this one but the base design is done. #crossstitch 0130
Elanor @mayakittenreads.bsky.social · 10/10/2026Had a proper curl up this afternoon & finished Stay For A Spell by Amy Coombe. Excellent cozy fantasy read. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Also, apparently Goodreads has finally given us a partial star function. 🤔 About time. #booksky 040
Elanor @mayakittenreads.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Wait. How had I not twigged this year is a Stolarz & Bob tandem reunion? 100
Elanor @mayakittenreads.bsky.social · 07/10/2026For socials the NHL asked players what penalty they’ve got most in their career. Tom Wilson is very self aware 😂 000
Elanor @mayakittenreads.bsky.social · 05/10/2026youtube.com/watch?v=falA... I read a lot in September… and rambled a lot. 👀 #booktube #bookskyyoutube.comReading Wrap Up September 2026YouTube video by MayakittenReads 030
Elanor @mayakittenreads.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Between the new NHL season, new Taskmaster, new Celebrity Traitors and watching actual Strictly for the first time… I’m getting a lot of stitching done 🤣 010
Elanor @mayakittenreads.bsky.social · 03/10/2026I started on Etsy #crosstitch patterns again because I needed the rest my shoulders & reaching around my large frame hurt, but then realised it’s time to think about Christmas again. I’ll be in this mode a while 😉 010
Elanor @mayakittenreads.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Well that was delightful. I do love humiliating Philly so badly the building empties early. Shut out for the Arty Party. #pittsburghpenguins 010
Elanor @mayakittenreads.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Happy place. Found all but two of the colours I was looking for. Will check the guild recycle table for the missing ones first. #embroidery 030
Elanor @mayakittenreads.bsky.social · 27/09/2026I may have just raided Etsy for #crossstitch bookmark patterns again. 👀 My brain might have flipped into Christmas present mode already. 030
Elanor @mayakittenreads.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Kylie bringing in William Barton to perform Confide in Me felt oddly appropriate. A song from her weird mid 90s era, the lyrics change meaning if you layer over the context of indigenous reconciliation. “But in the name of understanding now/ Their problems should be shared.” #Music - ever evolving. 120
Elanor @mayakittenreads.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Realising it was a good call to get a cert of incapacity from the chiro when sitting in the uber home is actively painful. No desk for me today. 010

Elanor @mayakittenreads.bsky.social · 12/09/2026Mid afternoon walk achieved while doing some catch up on the Rex Factor. 001
Elanor @mayakittenreads.bsky.social · 10/09/2026Really Oilers? Really McDavid? So fucking disappointed. Guess that’s three teams I’m not watching this year. 010
Elanor @mayakittenreads.bsky.social · 08/09/2026Okay, slept better, though still a little tired. Might be through whatever anxiety spiral was happening 🤞🏻 001
Elanor @mayakittenreads.bsky.social · 07/09/2026Struggled to fall asleep again but managed after half past 2. Ugh. 010
Elanor @mayakittenreads.bsky.social · 06/09/2026Bad night. Couldn’t sleep until well over 4am. Finally slept until nearly 11. Somehow still need to figure out 10,000 steps. Fuck. Definitely pulling out the Pilates DVD 100
Elanor @mayakittenreads.bsky.social · 05/09/2026Went to my first BodyBalance class in months this morning. A little tired but feeling nicely stretched. 000
Elanor @mayakittenreads.bsky.social · 04/09/2026Finally back at the gym this week. #STEPtember Is good impetus. Even if it’s starting the couch to 5k program from the beginning again. Structure & easing in so I don’t knock something out of whack again. 010
Elanor @mayakittenreads.bsky.social · 03/09/2026Nice day for a lunchtime walk #canberra #steptember 010
Elanor @mayakittenreads.bsky.social · 03/09/2026Doing this for the fourth or fifth year in a row I think? Mostly for the excerise but having a cause behind it is motivating. Any donations are very appreciated. 💜 www.steptember.org.au/fundraisers/...steptember.org.auI'm stepping up to support babies with cerebral palsy!Hiya! I'm stepping up for a month-long mood boost and taking on 10k steps a day. But I really need your help! Please donate now to my Steptember fundraiser. You'll give me a much-needed motivat... 011
Elanor @mayakittenreads.bsky.social · 30/08/2026Grand Final day at Hoyts. GO BRAVE!!!!!!! #canberrabrave #aihl 020
Elanor @mayakittenreads.bsky.social · 29/08/2026HOLY FUCK IT TOOK OVERTIME BUT WE’RE IN THE GOODALL CUP FINAL AGAIN #canberrabrave #aihl 010
Elanor @mayakittenreads.bsky.social · 29/08/2026Back from the framer & hung temporarily before going in the @actembroiderersguild Exhibition in September #embroidery #crossstitch 060
Elanor @mayakittenreads.bsky.social · 28/08/2026Ooohhh… my framed embroidery is ready to pick up. Something to plan for tomorrow 020
Elanor @mayakittenreads.bsky.social · 28/08/2026I did rewatch Appointment with Death last night #TimCurry 😢 010
Elanor @mayakittenreads.bsky.social · 28/08/2026I did not sleep well. I have postponed inspection that I have not had the energy to redo the heavy cleaning for. It’s #aihl preliminary final day - so do or die for the #canberrabrave. Needless to say I don’t feel great 010
Elanor @mayakittenreads.bsky.social · 23/08/2026Oh my god why am I crying laughing at a piece discussing a US Canada trade war??? GENIUS! 🤣🤣🤣 020
Elanor @mayakittenreads.bsky.social · 23/08/2026I finally got around to figuring out the backing for this set of three Egyptian style #blackwork #embroidery bookmarks - pattern by Cliffside Stitches on Etsy. 040
Elanor @mayakittenreads.bsky.social · 23/08/2026The extreme awkwardness of trying to turn bookmarks with backing right side out before stitching up the final end. 😬 wooden skewer at the ready. #embroidery 030
Elanor @mayakittenreads.bsky.social · 19/08/2026Finally tested negative this morning. Still have an intermittent phlegmy cough so I’ll probably wfh all week. I did get on the walking pad for half an hour this evening because I am very out of shape & have agreed to do STEPtember again in a couple of weeks. 010
Elanor @mayakittenreads.bsky.social · 17/08/2026Still testing positive, still mildly congested, but trying out working from home while managing my energy. 000

Elanor @mayakittenreads.bsky.social · 16/08/2026I’m really disappointed to be missing the final home game of the season. I’ve had SO MUCH FUN all season. However the dreaded COVID persists so I’ll be watching from home. I will be at Hoyts for the grand final though! #canberrabrave #aihl #foreverbrave 010
Elanor @mayakittenreads.bsky.social · 15/08/2026Oh brilliant. The congestion is having a mild relapse. 🙄🤒 010
Elanor @mayakittenreads.bsky.social · 14/08/2026Managed a full day on the couch instead of retreating to bed. Progress on the new project though… without unpicking. Yay COVID recovery? #crossstitch #embroidery 040
Elanor @mayakittenreads.bsky.social · 14/08/2026Obvious symptoms are clearing up but I remain exhausted & sore and restarted positive this morning so remaining off work. 110
Elanor @mayakittenreads.bsky.social · 11/08/2026Bollocks. I probably should have predicted I’d be on COVID caused muscle pain in given my existing issues. Also, temp has gone up a touch this evening. Might be a nighttime thing. I did at least manage some tomato soup & bread instead of just crackers. Appetite v poor after last night’s vomiting. 000
Elanor @mayakittenreads.bsky.social · 10/08/2026I know I was cold all day but I didn’t expect late night mild fever & vomiting to be why I couldn’t warm up. 🤒 Panadol taken, hydration started and temp starting to drop. Sleeeeeep. 010
