In total we watched three amazing movies this weekend:
Mickey 17
The Pale Blue Eye
28 Years Later
I definitely recommend all three. Different story telling methods, amazing casts & writers.
And we supposedly will be blessed with two more movies in the 28 series. I am looking forward to it!
28 Years Later
Another movie.
Amazing visuals, character development, cinematography, and story telling.

Today is my birthday (turning 29), which is the only time all year that I ask for a repost 🌿
I hope you get lost in fantasy worlds as much as I do 🔮
a tuxedo cat cutely curled in a ball on his side sleeping in his basket by a window.
He does that kitty thing where he squeezes himself, crossing the paws over his snoot, and curls his toes, all while dozing. It's like a reverse stretch to comfort himself and block out the light before relaxing back into a snooze.

July update video is up!
And as an appreciation I'm passing the stash. Robin Pickens Constant and Perennial from the Night Garden collection released this past Nashville Needlework Market.
There are a few other updates as well you won't want to miss!

Managed to squeeze in a Highlander joke at work today.
I'm so proud of myself.
I managed to get 20ct Aida and 32ct linen of the fabric this time and the black moth minders. At least it didn't sell out in two minutes like the one for the Spring event. That was... severely understocked. Steph seems to take feedback to heart and ordered a buuuuuunch this time around.
First 1k or so stitches of Summer's Day by Jed'xstitch.
Called for fabric and flosses looking fabulous! It is currently exclusive to the Midsummer Stitch retreat which still has another day of events tomorrow so come join us!

After months of use, and design iterations by multiple designers, I'm developing a strong dislike of Figma.
It's not the designers fault.
It's not the project scope.
It's not even scope creep.
It's the tool itself.

The Internet just informed me that the Gundam Wing 30th anniversary is this year.
I shouldn't have counted. But I did.
27 days and it will be 1 year since Lucy crossed the rainbow bridge.
It's almost impossible to not traumatize myself with Facebook and Google Images sending me reminders constantly: look at this from 1 year ago! Check out this montage of selfies! etc.
I really hope Pedro Pascal cranks on the "Dad mode" for Bob x1000.
BOB!!!!!!
More flowers opening up!
I guess he's comfortable?
Have you seen Northern Exposure? Also from the 90s with very very relevant themes, character growth, etc. to the now times.
I remember Lucy being absolutely terrified this time of year and it prevented us from going out to enjoy any festivities. 😕
Purrcival didn't give two bits about the fireworks last night. Such a good boy!
Now, if only we could break his habit of caterwauling at 4am. 🤔
lololol poor Jinshi
A square series of motifs stitch in a dark blue and a light blue, bordered by black. The fabric is a light green Aida with a little bit of orange melted in.
Latest finish! The first 12 weeks of the 52 week yearly Blackwork SAL from PeppermintPurple!
Fabric is 14ct Aida by BlackDahlia Fabrics on Etsy, I don't recall the color way, but it is a pale green with some dark blue/grey and orange melted in.

A small purple flower amongst dark green leaves.
Lucy's last summer with us we had some Galaxy/Nebula Petunias that she enjoy smacking in a pot on the back patio. It produced so many blooms and thus a bazillion seeds I was able to sprout and grow this spring.
Here is the first flower produced. The plant seems to love all this hot weather lately.
And maybe he sensed me crying and decided to snuggle in.
Sometimes, I too feel like a plain rice ball.
A rice ball that has gutted itself at various times in order to find the pickled plum stuck to my back.
And then I've packed the rice back in so no one can see what I've done.
When's my next therapy appointment? 😂
Rewatching Fruits Basket. Time to cause myself emotional damage.
Oof this story arc in Lanfang is quite the brutal wakeup call for the young Di Renjei.
Nothing is so clear cut in the outskirts of society. The edges of your precious empire that doles out law and order to the masses.
Judge Dee's Mystery
In the spring of 2008, I feared America was on the verge of war with Iran — and, believing that it’s good style to get to know people before you bomb them, I made “Rick Steves’ Iran,” a one-hour special that could (and would) only debut on PBS. Sadly, this special has become pertinent again today.
