In good news today, my youngest offspring finally has an appointment to get their braces off. Their teeth are now as straight and neat as they can be. They might actually work properly now!

Skirt panels have been cut. This wool likes to fray, so I've bound the edges of the long sides. Because these won't be seen I've used some of the random bias binding from the stash I inherited from my Nana. I'm slowly getting through it. It's nice to have little bits of her in my projects.
Plan on doing some work on skirts later. I have all my velvet drying after a wash. I'll probably cut the wool skirt and get started printing that. But first I need more tea.

Hooray for Autumn! It's finally cool enough to work on my larger crochet projects.
Work has continued on my gaming poncho, which is getting close to finished. After that will be my spooky mosaic crochet jumper.
Fingers crossed I should get that finished by winter.

Hubby is very happy playing Control: Resonant. He preordered it with his birthday money back in may. It's very trippy so far.

Just had a fabulous time watching the beginning of Silent Hill: Townfall. Impressed with the Scottish details so far.

Today instead of screaming into the abyss, I decided to listen to Fleetwood Mac's back catalogue. And despite the fact that I can't have listened to the Tango in the night album since the 90s, it's still in my brain.

So close to getting this dress finished. Last of the ruffles gathered and pinned. Need to sew it tomorrow, then it's just a fastening, and tacking the sleeves on. #sewing

It turns out that my cats have no fear of sewing machines.
Both of them love helping.

It's a good thing this was a prerecorded game. I had to keep pausing because I was laughing so hard.
