And here it is on. My arms are too short for proper selfies. 😅😅 Went out and had a lovely time with some old burlesque friends. Really need to do that more often!

How it started - how it's going. Just a few finishing touches left to do in the morning and I'll be good for the evening. :-) Three weeks from initial sketch to completed dress.

I know some of you asked for catacombs style cufflinks and there's a single pair left at $25 bucks. www.peculiarityshop.com/product-page...

This week was... a lot. Can't wait to have a snack and then stabby stab stab things!

Giving waterflossing another chance. I feel like I just waterboarded myself, but my teeth seem to be into it. The freaky fuckers!

Sundogs today with a rare but cool circumzenithal arc (that's the inverted rainbow above the sun). I've upped the saturation and contrast to make them visible in the picture. Very cool in real life.

So it turns out 3.5hrs of sleep is sorta not enough? Why did nobody tell me? Can someone finish work for me, please?

Almost missed the start of Inktober! Today's prompt: Mustache Sharing it to practice sharing stuff that didn't work out... I might draw it again some time when I'm actually awake and can find a less textured paper. ;-)

Played with foil to match my nails to my outfit for the weekend. Too much?

HP is sending a technician to my house! A technician! To my house!! A stranger! Aaargh! Cue: panic tidy!

Work: you have to use AI to be efficient. Me, after refusing: fine, I'll try. Company AI: hallucinates content I didn't ask for. Work: no really. Use AI. Me, having IT issue: logs ticket. IT AI support: suggests solution that is against company policy and voids the warranty. This is going so well.🤦‍♀️

Spent money on some solo rpgs and only realised later that they had AI content tags. I'm so annoyed with myself for not noticing. So... tell me about your favourite non AI solo RPGs, so I can show them love and atone for my sins? Extra points for horror or sci-fi settings with journaling focus.

Help me decide, folks? Pretty please? For an art deco theme, do I keep it simple with the cream coloured skirt, add organza over the skirt, or do I break out the fabric paint and paint the skirt green and add the organza over?

Done! Now I just need to finish the appliqué and the rest of the outfit, but that's the big job out of the way! Yay! 🥳

I'm finding it really hard to get back into exercise after burn out and covid teamed up to knock me on my arse. It annoys me, because I used to have to talk myself out of exercising, not into it... and I know I feel better when I do.

We have reached the Frankencorset stage. ;-)

If you enjoy classical music and have an hour, this is a good listen.

Why is this so satisfying to look at? 😍

One to add to the October TBR, methinks!

🇵🇸 Events in solidarity with the Palestinian people around the country this weekend. All out for Palestine! #SolidarityIsAVerb #FreePalestine 🇵🇸

Considering how strongly Oracle is pushing their AI initiatives, they want everything going through that, so everyone can soon be watched even closer. Soon, we won't be able to trust anything anymore, unless it's hardcopy right in front of us.

Just realised I forgot my meds this morning... that explains a few things... 😬😴

Tickets for A Night for Palestine with Amble & Special Guests in the INEC Killarney are on sale now (and almost gone already) - all proceeds go directly to ACLAÍ Palestine and food parcel distribution for displaced families in Gaza. Get the last few here: www.ticketmaster.ie/a-night-for-...

Didn't win the bedtime fight tonight, but at least I managed before midnight, which is still better than my usual ridiculousness. So... mini win? Yes, mini win! ;-)

I started doubting what's left of my sanity, trying to figure out a weird noise in the office. Folks... it's the "silent" clock I bought. *sigh* *yeeeeeeeet*

I would like it known that it's not even 11 p.m. and I'm in bed. Any and all praise will be gratefully accepted. ;-)

I can hear the neighbour kids through the wall, scream-singing "Let it go" over and over and it's kind of adorable, but I think it's only adorable, because I can just turn up the volume of my book. 😅

Round one of apple jam done! Apples all from the back garden after the wind knocked a bunch down. Loads left on the trees for another round in a couple weeks. :-)

"I'll just crochet one more row" Famous last words before disappearing into a two or three hour hookathon! 😅

Stabby stab stab!!

Oh look, national shoot a fascist day! How fun. Le sigh.

Look at this fabulous lil crab being curious! 🤩

Give me dinner or give me death!

You know that thing when your therapist asks you something rather disturbing and your brain goes "Hahahaha! What a silly ques...uh...wait a minute... oh... OH! Oh shit!" Yeah. That. 😬

I decided to get back into painting. It feels like starting from scratch every time, so the plan now is to do something small regularly and one or two sketches for every book I read. Here's "Guards! Guards!" and "Eric" (I'm rereading all of Discworld at the moment)

You know you're in Ireland when your burrito comes with instructions. 😅

I want to hold it like a fish for my next dating profile!

Behold my carrot growing prowess! 🤣

Omnomnomnomnom!

It wimdy!

The Internet is not a good place when you're already in a shitty headspace, so I'll see you all in a few...

Worth it, eh? Anyway....

A week in and it's not even thinking about going fainter... 😬 Which makes sense, I guess, considering I still feel like a diseased leprechaun pooped right into my brain...

Ice cream?

Had a nap, and a shower, and another nap, and did the dishes, and now I think I'll have another nap. 😴

I have changed my sheets! 🥳 Need a nap now. 😴

Oops. Just realised I need an evening look in 3.5 weeks that I haven't started designing yet. I thought I had way more time! Crunch time!!
