got really hooked on cult of the lamb for a bit

oh yeah i finished this apart from the scary bit (grout) bsky.app/profile/plai...

we got to do our own spread in the travelling journal i had last so i added a bunch of my random lino cuts

feeling like a local celebrity because they let me into the craft section at paper tree while it was closed... alone with my paper in the roped off area...

got an order of vics bagels being delivered tomorrow and im unreasonably excited

little taniwha bag companion for miffy...

papercrafted some of my earrings...

my girlfriend has been visiting this week and we've just been hanging out in bed with the cat and its been so nice... he loves to get his double pats

miniaturising some of my fave wall art (orig by the very talented @horoart.bsky.social )

every time i go to the kbbq place in town i leave fully content and jolly no matter how i went in. thank you gogi i love you gogi

im getting a ton of travelling journal content in my feed right now (bc im working on one myself) and im *this* close to just going around commenting CHANGE YOUR BLADE on all of them their knives are all so blunt and it pains me

is there anything better than making a full plate of toasties of an evening

fave mug for a wee project

my sister mentioned again that shes sad she couldnt take a gift i got her to canada when she moved (too fragile- it now lives on my bedroom wall) and i get the double sense of satisfaction from absolutely nailing a gift and also knowing better than my mother, who was sure she'd hate it

having a play around with my sisters mosaic stuff and naturally going way smaller than i have any right to do

big fan of the gummy selection at the arts centre

yesterday i started assembling some flatpack furniture to distract zeph before the vet (he likes to supervise) and when we got home he yelled at me til i finished it

he doesnt understand it at all

ive done unspeakable things to a picture frame so i can extend my gallery wall onto the ceiling

got some really neat things from the art gallery store today... my second pair of fancy scissors from a gallery even. maybe i should start a collection

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!
