Dark haired human with hair worn loose, wearing a dark green mask with ivy leaves picked out in jewel colours. They wear a soft, blue-green shirt, with a coffee coloured knit waistcoat. Their neck is supported with a white scarf printed with dragonflies & they have 2 pieces of flair on their lapel: an enamel 'You can be yourself with me' pin that features the inclusive pride flag, & the campaign badge for the #Era5050 representation & pay parity campaign. They are pictured in a car, wearing a seatbelt.

Happy #Caturday This week, Miss Kleo - who's had us heart-in-mouth since what the vet says was a spinal stroke 11 days ago, but is seemingly turning a corner. Seen here snuggling with her Daddy this morning. Aside from descents are now careful, lose patience, randomly launch herself she's okay.

16yr old cap-and-mantle-tabby Kleo, snuggled in a blanket, lays on her human & reaches to 'hold paws'.
The thread this image is posted with also covers the ALT text description of this image. Sorry to do this one this way, but it's too important and there aren't enough characters here.

Piebald 2 day old kitten's nursing foster intake photo. Laying on a towel, her tiny toes are pink & her tail is tucked under. She is viewed from approximately above.
View through a picture window of a field streaked with golden hour light. Two sheep are in the midground.
Word count displaying 1657-9 = 1,648 The minus 9 was because I remembered a heading didn't count towards the absolute word limit of 1,650.
Retired assistance dog Emma, a 14.5yr old apricot labradoodle with short-cropped hair, wearing a purple collar, lays on a bright coloured blanket on a blue settee. Beside her are notebooks & a pen belonging to her human. She has one paw casually in a 'mine' position on top of them.
Half finished pastel picture of a view down a street to the sea at sunset. The top half is alright. The bottom half needs work.
A card with a line drawing of an hourglass with a night sky in it. Beside it is written: "It doesn't matter how slowly you go as long as you DO NOT STOP."
My cartoon bird (from the Finch App) wears a black sweater with a rainbow on it, & carries a bubble wand this week (in honour of Sis' poem in the Crawley poetry walk). The affirmation underneath in white text on blue reads: "I am grateful for lessons that make me stronger"
Blue mushroom trays planted with seeds on a windowsill.
My hands still shaking despite being rested normally (as normally as I can manage) on a table. They are so swollen still that I can't even wear my wedding rings.

Poster for 'Seven Moments in Time' features two men sitting either side of the frame on benches. The younger is closed-in on himself & writing in a notebook. The older one is gesturing expansively. Superimposed over top centre is the laurel for 'Official Selection' for 'The Powers court Edit'. Bottom left, a red stamp detail reads: "Sold Out".
View through plants out of a picture window. It's one of those gorgeous, late winter, marbled greys skies.

My sketches of what happened during the accident, & how it was a week or so later.
TV showing split-screen views close to #Grindavik. There is a large image in the top 2/3, with smaller images bottom left & centre. Bottom right there is the live drumplot data for Grindavik. The moon is riding high & almost a cold daylight. There is a mix of mist and low cloud sweeping along the valley, & the red glow from the new year lights in the right corner of the big image. In the very foreground, the rise of Thorbjorn shades the rocks & the pass, but the moon is catching on the lightest dusting of snow, making it look like a cepia photo in the left of the big image. You begin to understand viscerally how the sagas came to be.
My first attempt at anything post crash. It was meant to be basic backstitch - the date '26 Dec' on the edge of our special occasions tablecloth. The stitches are anything but smooth & neat. They are different tensions, sizes, & the letters are so wonky as to be worse than our 4yo nibling could write. 😮‍💨

Human holding a Nisse soft dog toy. On a sofa beside, retired assistance dog Emma, a 14 year old apricot labradoodle has looked at it & gone back to sleep. In the foreground, Assistance Dog Pierre, a 4 year old chocolate labrador, sits in his best 'yes please' tidy sit, looking up at the toy. His tail is wagging a million miles a minute.

A sideboard next to a sofa. On top of it a decorative tree, a copy of the book 'Hired' (Highly recommend!) & a three-sided box from the supermarket with a happy, cap-and-mantle-tabby cat curled up in it snoozing.
The front cover of a 1st edition paperback from 1974 of Dr Patrick C Power's 'The Book of Irish Cursing'. It is black, white & yellow. A drawing of a silhouetted figure in a hood, standing amid some rocks in a hilly landscape, with a staff raised above their head

Alt text description of images: Between images 1 & 2 are screenshots of my business' post to Facebook of this morning. My logo (which is in black & white, & is a larger version of my maker's mark - a sleeping dormouse curled into a circle, with 'est. 2008' written on its back) & the page name (MrsMouse) is in the top left corner of image one. The 2 images carry this message in black text on white: "Given everything that's in the wind at the moment, I'm *tentatively* thinking of opening up some commission slots, because as the woman said - if I can gather the money they'd rather do the damned MRI sooner.* To set some expectations though: 1) Xmas delivery will not happen. Xmas deadline with me is Halloween for Xmas delivery at the best of times. - & this is far from the best of times. 2) Until the MRI, I'm going to be following the OT's instructions to the letter, so feeble as it seems, if a project needs any: 'bending, stretching, twisting, or reaching' or lifting in excess of 6lb, then that part of the work will not happen until after the MRI hopefully clears me. 🤞 3) Any highly decorative work (especially stitch work) will likely be much slower (if started before), as until we know what this thing with my arm is, I'm not overstressing it. - last thing to know is I was already part way through a pair of gloves for a 2yo from the knits for limb difference organisation I'm in, so everybody gets in line behind her because there's no way I'm leaving a little girl to cold hands a minute more than I have to. If that's acceptable to folks, then please drop me a message & we can talk about a quote." Then, under a wee black line to separate it is the footnote from the top of the post. It reads: "* For those who may have missed it: on 24 Nov spouse, my assistance dog & me were stationary in our car when we were hit from behind by an uninsured driver (who has likely written off the car). Both my assistance dog & me were hurt. He is fortunately on the mend and resting"
Pierre, a 4 yr old chocolate labrador in his purple assistance dog collar, lays on a blue sofa. A stuffed Tigger toy has rolled from his grip & is on the floor.
The sideboard I have been making from odds-and-ends of wood. It still needs doors, & edge treatments, as well as staining, plus I might do a marquetry top, but it's fairly sturdy.
Part of our customary Yule decoration beginning on one end of the altar: 3 hyacinths nested in newspaper over the top of jars of water. In the background, a white board decorated illuminated manuscript style with a quite from Neve's Almanac for 1633 (from the page for December): "THIS MONTH keep thy body & head from cold: let thy kitchen be thins Apothecary, warm clothing thy Nurse, merry company thy jeepers, & good hospitality thine exercise."
