Revisiting my childhood

I've been rewatching the Big Comfy Couch lately. I probably haven't watched an episode since elementary school before now and I'm finding it extremely charming.

It feels like finding a chunk of my childhood preserved in amber. I love looking at old pictures of my life and this is a similar but even more visceral feeling. I am jealous of people who have video tapes of themselves when they were kids. I can't picture myself as a a baby moving, I'm just a series of stationary impressions.

I gotta get those digitized next time I'm at my parents', or convince them/my sibling to do it.

Anywhoozle, here's Loonette the Clown and her dolly Molly.

Welcome to the (small) big top

 I'm away from home right now, but knew if I didn't start this blog now I never would. I will post in text and maybe even in doodle or comic form if I'm feeling fancy.

I adore all sorts of handicrafts whether or not I have any proficiency in them. For one thing, they always have pictures, or at the very least diagrams, and we all know all the best books have pictures. My haul for my inaugural 2026 library visit includes: 1. A book on making rag dolls 2. Two books on Halloween crafts 3. A thick tome called "Flea Market Flair" 4. My required at least one (1) book about origami I really like origami. I already made one of the models in the book: (I did cheat and tape the back so the pieces don't come apart with the slightest jostle but shhhhh) What's...

Buy local, get crafty

Got everything I needed to start my new project today. I was delighted to find a local art supply store to buy all the materials in lieu of going to Michael's. It was so charming and full of all sorts of fun stuff and the person who assisted me was so helpful and welcoming. I definitely found a new favourite spot. As you can see, I got started basically as soon as I got home. I'm so in love with the colours!
