It's almost dooooone. The lettering gave me some issues. Will have to work on that. #wip #embroidery #learning

He's less than thrilled, but he's gotta wear it until the 10th. #cat #orangecat #OrangeBoi

My orange cat, Jareth, laying beside me on my couch with an Elizabethan collar on. My arm comes in from the right, petting his side as he looks towards my thigh.

Orange Boi got the good drugs at the vet lmao. Got neutered and his vaccines. Healthy boy! #cats #orangecat #OrangeBoi

My fluffy orange cat looking at me while coming from under my computer table with his back legs on the floor and fore legs on my lap. His eyes are dilated from the medication given during his recent surgery.

Well, I meant to give an update on the post about this skirt, but somehow managed to delete the whole post. LOL I was able to fit the skirt on its intended target, and it fits perfectly. #crochet #crochetclothes #crochetskirt

JUST ONE MORE SLEEVE. And the edging, of course, but it's the sleeves that suck. For those of you following along, yes, I did remove and properly reattach that first sleeve. It is no longer upside down.

Zaraphena @zaraphena.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

I probably shouldn't try to assemble crochet projects at 3 am, because I just realized I stitched the damn sleeve onto this cardigan with the sleeve seam UP instead of facing down. Brilliant. #rant #wip #crochet #Ihatesleeves

Main body of the cardigan done. Have started one of the sleeves, but taking a shirt break from it. #crochet #wip #crafting #cardigan #crochetcardigan

Getting there! I like this cardigan pattern so far. #crochet #cardigan #wip

Seven days in a row of doing morning stretches to aid in lymphatic drainage. Working toward upgrading that to a light aerobics workout to go with improved eating habits. #health #lymphedema

Getting back into baking! Took the basic recipe of the Lammas loaf, but used a quick rise yeast and added diced caramelized onions to make an onion loaf. Will need to make again the next time we have beef stew lol #baking #bread #homemade

A pale, round loaf of bread sitting in a circular pan on a black stove top.

Blessed Lammas, everyone. A bit late posting my picture, but cooking this one loaf of bread wiped my spoons, but damnit I was determined to actually do something for a holiday. lol #lammas #pagan #bread #harvest

Good to know the baby blanket I am working on is Jareth approved.

Photograph of my orange cat laying between my legs and on the blanket I am currently crocheting. Jareth is looking up toward me with half of his face hidden by the blanket.

Happy birthday, Jareth, my Orange Boi! One whole year old!

My babies are with a cat sitter, and I don't like it. I want my Void and Orange Boi. #cats #blackcat #orangecat #OrangeBoi #whatareyoudoingbelladonna #sleepybaby #naptime

Belladonna was not happy to go from my nephew's place to the hotel (I have three scratches on my hands to show for it), but I think she's forgiven me. #cat #blackcat #whatareyoudoingbelladonna

Y'all, meet Mocha. He's my new best friend. You can find him at the Capybara Café in St. Petersburg, Florida.

No matter how much you piss me off, you are too cute to stay mad at. #cat #kitten #orangecat #OrangeBoi #sleepybaby

Zaraphena @zaraphena.bsky.social · 29/03/2026

Orange Boi wakes me up at 6:30 AM and my body decides 'fuck it. We ball'. More time to pack for our move, I guess. lmao #cats #kitten #OrangeBoi

Finished a scarf for my mother. Used two skeins of yarn in tandem to give it a bit of shimmer, then took that shimmery yarn around to give it a finished edge. #crochet #crochetscarf #yarn

MY DUMB ASS CAT STUCK HIS TAIL IN MY LIT CANDLE FLAME AND BURNED SOME OF THE FUR ON HIS TAIL. Donno if you can see it here, Mom and I thoroughly checked to make sure the flame never touched his skin, thank goodness. My whole room smells of burned fur. #cat #orangecat #OrangeBoi

Zaraphena @zaraphena.bsky.social · 16/03/2026

Which is a damn shame because they are delightful.

Jareth, packing for this move would be much easier if you don't sit in the box I am currently packing. #cats #orangecat #OrangeBoi #packing

When people talk about how terrible black cats are, and all you can think of is this. Really upholding that evil image, Bella. #cats #blackcat #whatareyoudoingbelladonna #donotpetthebellyitisatrap

You don't have a bed when you have cats. You borrow a bed when you have cats. #cat #blackcat #whatareyoudoingbelladonna

What is up with my cats? Jareth, are you serious? Lol #orangecat #OrangeBoi #cats

Zaraphena @zaraphena.bsky.social · 12/03/2026

Bella, that can not be more comfortable than laying on the bed itself. #whatareyoudoingbelladonna #cat #moving

It always amazes me how much crap I have managed to fit into a small apartment. Now I need to purge because I am not bringing all this crap with me as we move.
