We've found the best ideas come from those unplanned sessions where you just tinker until something clicks. No pressure, no timeline - just you and the bike figuring it out together.

I thought about it, and if I'm going to put some of my flag patterns on Etsy, I should probably have them on my own site. So they're there now!

Happy to make a pattern for any flag on request, and willing to make the actual flag for a reasonable fee. :)

Currently feeling productive. Pre-noon, and I've already had a bath! Clean hair! Well overdue, since my hair wash schedule got thrown off by doing that fayre. It wasn't too bad, considering; washing it only once a week means it doesn't grease up very much.

I've also finished taking my pride flag patterns and tarting them up for sale. There's a few patterns I've not tarted, like my two for Ally flags, and the one I have for frayromantic. I think that those will go into the 'if someone asks, I have them' bucket. I mean, I'm happy to 'design' or stitch anyone's flag if they're happy to pay for it, so. Now, one I need to do immediately is a the progressive pride version that includes the intersex flag. I've 'only' got the regular progressive up there. Waffling on whether to include the OG pride flag (or at least, the OG that is post-pink).

So yeah, things to think about while I lump today. *nodnods*

A photograph of two of our cats, Vivi and October. Vivi is at the front; he is a tuxedo cat with brown eyes staring off into the distance. Behind him is our girl October. She is white with tabby markings, and green eyes. They're on a brown table looking out a window that is covered with a white screen. They are just inside of a red curtain.

I'm not sure what motion I've done that's done it, but my back just went PING!. It happens with some frequency, enough for me to suspect it's a trapped nerve that catches occasionally. So what do I do for it? I take some co-codamol and try to not do whatever I was doing right beforehand. Bodies, innit.

(thankfully, the codeine works really fast in shutting whatever nerve is whining up, so. grateful for that.)

I'm currently trying to decide what, if any, shop things I'm going to do today. I might look at my existing Etsy listings again for things like the cross-stitch pride flags and see if I can make those listings better/more findable. I really like them, and they're just about my perfect attention span for cross-stitch, so selling them is multiple levels of win for me.

(casual glance suggests no. big surprise. Very amused at people selling patterns for the flags when like... you really don't need to pay £3 to figure out colours? Or maybe I should sell my 'patterns' for £1 or sommat. Maybe £1.50 if I provide both DMC and Anchor colourways? xD)

Anyhoos.

A photograph of my couch. It's brown leather with a blue blanket across the top, and a rainbow blanket across the seat. There are three Skyrim-themed pillows on the couch seat, and a row of stuffed animals on the back of the couch.

I am busy doing an exhausted today. As y'all probably saw last night, I got those bracelets photographed, edited, and listed last night (special thanks to @moonrabbit for helping me get them just so). I was bemused when I stood up at the end of the day and was hobbling... I guess you can wear yourself out while not moving, ha ha. I mean, I know that, 'cause life-long chronic fatigue, but anyways.

Now I have to think about whether or not I want to list on Etsy. The problem is there are plenty of gemstone bracelets for dirt cheap, though most of them are on elastic instead of done 'properly' (to each their own, but I like to put proper gemstones on nice cord with a shiny, easy-to-use magnetic clasp). And then there's the cute stuff that is almost assuredly dropshipped. My me-shop prices are £15, and I add a £3 surcharge to Etsy stuff to cover expenses. If anyone has any thoughts, I'd be happy to hear them.

We're going to be briefly child-free this evening, woo hoo, etc. Eldest is going to spend the night at their girlfriend's house, and Littler has a dinnertime birthday party. The downside is that I need to think what to have for dinner, which. Food braining is hard. I might suggest beloved picks up something on the way home from dropping the elder one off. *puts suggestion into the air*

For now, enjoying a nice cross breeze, trying to stretch out my back, and a lot of thinking about shop things. I also need to photograph a batch of rings, but no idea if I'm going to actually be up to that (and the following on listing stuff) today.

A picture of our cat Halo, with a box of Halo "branded" biscuits (they're knock-off Oreos). Halo is a big white boy with tabby markings and green eyes. He's laying on an orange rug amidst various things on the floor (gray cat tree to the left, black desk legs to the right, red box to the back, and vacuum to the front).

I don't know the shop this person works in, but the guys at my shop would use this in a heartbeat if it saved them 5 ft of walking. They would probably end up keeping too. I have lost so many gorram tapes.
