Zeph is healing really well from his surgeries and im so glad 😊 hes pissed at me for taking him to the vet for his check up though

hiiii, it's my birthday on Monday and our game is like 100 wishlists away from 10k wishlists!!! would be a nice birthday gift to Me to wishlist it 👁️🫦👁️ It's a silly queer detective dating game set at an art school ✨ store.steampowered.com/app/2537020/...

ran a cut paper workshop for chch art gallery! heres what we made :)

theres an ambient sound coming from my flatmates room that sounds very much like the ds wifi connection music

mr zeph is booked in for surgery on friday! he still doesnt seem bothered by his lump but its getting alarmingly big, and 16 is too young to be a father.

seized with the desire to make flying jacob so now i have to explain to my poor gf that it is in fact a real thing

And, for anyone like me who is a New Zealander living overseas, if you have been back to NZ at any point in the last 3 years, you are eligible to enrol and vote in this election (the extension of this provision to 6 years was for the 2023 election *only*)

also kind of funny- when i applied for the exhibition i was thinking 25mm square for each piece. but now that ive made some earrings (12mm each) that feels huge to me. actively losing perspective on how small stuff is here

out for a meal and concepting my solo exhibition for later this year (all cut paper miniatures, so ill be making hundreds) and god its so weird to have moved to planning things months/years in advance. i used to be a seat of the pants ready in a couple weeks person

spent an hour and a half tending to my very neglected vege garden and got exactly 1 (one) strawberry

Did some earring experiments.... gonna make more and bring them to markets this year, i think. They're 12mm across!

hes being so cuddly now im home and im so glad 🥹 i love my boy

mad anxious about airports but im determined to have a good weekend lol

life imitates art

one thing i really enjoy about pokemon go is getting a little glimpse into people's lives via the postcards you can send each other... a complete stranger in france sends me one every time she goes to the gym

oh!

finally! yellow courgette!

lemon pig . . .

dare i make a lemon pig this year.... i think i only have flayed lemons again from the limoncello

no photos because we absolutely mauled it but the sticky date butterscotch trifle was a huge success

current status. 3pm.

shes finished!

can i make a cut paper miniature of the peacock fountain in 24 hours for christmas? lets find out.

tent secured. lawn camping in the rain on boxing day is go

ive become more and more fixated on the idea of camping and at this point i might just set up a tent on the lawn just to feel something

made the limoncello for this year and covered the kitchen in sugar in the process, as is tradition

parakiore is nice if a little intimidating compared to how pokey pioneer is... its nice having a mostly empty gym though ngl

Realising i've become a boring adult bc the thing i'm looking forward to when my flatmate goes down south for christmas is fucking up our entire living space with sheets while i reorganize the linen closet

For my non nz followers- today is gift opening day for our country wide secret santa and everyone really knocked it out of the park this year! check out the tag if you need some christmas cheer 🥹

looking through the #secretsantaAoNZ tag and seeing everyone enjoy their gifts is so heartening ☺️ my giftee loved theirs so im very happy!

Oh my god, my gift is so good... two(!) paintings of my fave outside hobbies and my greatest food crime??? these are going straight on the wall omg fwiw the donut made me laugh out loud as soon as i unwrapped it, genuinely incredible pull there santa #SecretsantaAoNZ

took a blanket and some hot chocolate to the park to see if i could see the meteor shower but it was cloudy... lovely night at least

its our birthday!!! i cant believe my little man is 16 already (im 34, somehow)

got my ears pierced (again) for an early birthday present and im very pleased 😌 all the more room for obnoxious dangly novelty earrings

i walked to the farm half an hour down the road but they're out if fresh veges til tomorrow... my precious new potatoes...

ahhh im excited... #secretsantaAoNZ

@glempy.bsky.social if we get to forever friends on pokemon go would you like a relicanth? ive been saving them up for international friends haha

equally excited tracking the secret santa gift for me and the one ive sent out... passing like ships in the night at the chch depot right now

doing such a phenomenally bad job wrapping these gifts that i might have to stop calling myself a paper artist #SecretSantaAoNZ

secret santa gift ready to mail tomorrow, finally... i think it'll be worth the anxiety at the late mailing date (sorry if you're reading this, santee)

not sure if i have anyone curious but i do love to talk about my process!

living dangerously this evening (doing cut paper miniature work next to an open window with 40kph winds)

zine concept for next year: recipes i've tried from tiktok

the plumbers just finished a month+ long saga of trying to stop the shower trying to melt the wall and now my dishwasher won't drain 🫠

im not bothering putting up a christmas tree this year but i did need this brocc ornament so so badly

Hester made me a hand painted advent calendar.... 🥹

today i d did this, lifted my weights like normal and then went back for another round. i ended up biking 20km, who have i become

im laundry stripping my memory foam pillows overnight because its supposed to be hot tomorrow and its either going to be amazing or go horribly

my sister left a bunch of mosaic stuff for me when she moved and im so hype to use it when i have some free time... already having ideas about how small i can get it
