Blugh. Chest infection, both lungs. Antibiotics.
Neck pain, lower back pain, sore throat, sore roof of mouth, all from the strain of my body apparently trying to forcibly eject my breathing apparatus.
I haven’t finished my Christmas shopping… ;O;
Look I have particular tastes in character dynamics, okay?
And I’m enjoying it. I’m not here just for the radioapple! …(I’m also here for the TV Head).
An incomplete sketch of Lucifer from Hazbin Hotel in his oversized jumper, with a strained expression of distress and waving awkwardly
Apparently I’m spending my sick day watching cartoons and doodling a sad duck man.
…yes I’m late to the show, I’m not much of a watcher of things, but… two incredibly overpowered old men annoying the shit out of each other in song? Warrants a closer look.

The good: I’m off work for 7.4 tomorrow!
The bad: I took a sick day. Due to being sick. We’ll see if I can get through the patch with my lungs intact because right now my breathing’s fucked and my cough is bone-shaking. Yay, winter.
I am not one who particularly enjoys intentional cringe, even if it is paired with an actual story, but I guess I'm gonna watch the thing now.
When you don't want to watch a thing because you know its humour and insistence on being an... immature kind of mature?
And then Youtube decides to dump a ship dynamic you love on you during your mindless shorts scroll. Not a canon one...
I'm just weak to bickering enemies/rivals to lovers. Oop.

My one remaining original from the weekend is now available to buy in my shop.

She has a prey drive, but thankfully was easy to convince to keep walking away. Even so... poor bunny, all those people and cars and nowhere to hide.
Is it just me, or is walking a rabbit on a harness something that should be kept to... well, NOT busy retail parks near popular dog walking spots?
I felt sorry for it, not being able to run and hide when there's me with a confused and very interested labrador.
Three drawings of a rock formation with glowing, rainbow-coloured magma flowing down and pooling like it’s a water feature, shown from the front, back and side. The back shows cracks in the rock where the magma substance glows through it.
My entry to the FF14 housing contest. A non-winner, BUT… experience says it may very well end up in the game anyway, no credit or shiny new title for Kiwi. So we shall see.
If they do it to me twice, I’m not sure how I’ll react! Probably with cackling laughter tbh.

A photo of a knitted sock in progress, on the needles. It is in shades of aqua, pink, and dark grey.
Preparations for bicycle commutes in Autumn and Winter are underway!!
Found this yarn in the attic. Pretty sure it's Opal but there was no label on it.
… well, luckily I’m starting a new job, because I just found out that Derwent is expanding the Drawing pencil range and I need that in my life.
When you have taken up micro-crochet and are a bit clumsy...
...I may have stabbed myself right in the nipple with a 0.5mm hook.
Do you need to know this? No. However, please share my pain. Thanks.
A photo of a small crochet daffodil in my hand.
Today on "I can't find a pattern I like for what I want to make", I designed a tiny crochet daffodil motif!
Not sure if it's worth writing up the pattern, but it will turn into yet more earrings. I have a collection.
A collection of many small and colourful crochet motifs. Their ends are hanging out. There are many ends. So many. Too many.
I have a problem.
No, not the number of colourful crochet motifs that are rapidly taking over my existence.
Ends.
None of these ends are woven in.
None.
(I have a compressed nerve and the doctor says to immobilise my wrist for two weeks, hence the splint. If I take it off to wash my hands or something, the pins and needles return with a vengeance, so clearly the support is doing something.)
Crocheted skull drop earrings, grouped in threes. The skulls are bordered with purple, green and black thread.
Crocheted skulls assembled into earrings, with groups of three skulls on each side. This picture is taken in low light, showing that they are glow-in-the-dark.
Crocheted skull drop earrings, grouped in threes. The skulls are bordered with neon coral, orange and yellow.
I made glow in the dark earrings and I'm very pleased with them.
I still have some non-skull motifs to block and make earrings out of, but sadly... further creativity is currently forbidden. The splint didn't stop me TRYING to crochet, but alas it is not happening.

stupid bloody metal bloody stick
...wrist successfully imprisoned. Now I feel like I can't do anything. "Guess you'll have to watch some telly" AHAHAHAHA haha.... yeahno
Just a little bit of mild screeching here over being told to immobilise my wrist for two weeks.
Some algorithm decided I needed to see a headline about the left abandoning their safe space. Some shit about Bluesky being dead/dying/abandoned.
lol. lmao even.
Anyway, back to enjoying creativity.
I haven't! But I'll keep it in mind - if this numbness doesn't go away by Monday I'm gonna go and bother a pharmacist probably. (Because you can never get hold of a doctor on a Monday!)
A pair of crocheted earrings in a heart-shaped leaf motif, with irregular wobbly edges. The yarn is variegated green and yellow.
A pair of light blue, flower-shaped crochet earrings, with pink beads as an accent.
A pair of orange, yellow and white crochet earrings in a flower design.
When you hyperfocus on crochet so hard you actually injure yourself... no crochet allowed now, my hand is buggered and made of pins and needles.
Am I mad about it? Very. And hoping I don't have to go to the doctor.
Anyway here's some earrings. Thinking £15-£18 would be a fair price... hm.
The most discomfort is in my ring finger for some reason.
Hoping I haven't like... trapped a nerve or something, this sucks I have things to make!!
A collection of crochet earrings and unfinished motifs in various designs and colours. They are sitting on a cardboard box.
So um.
My right hand has been kinda numb since about noon. Pins and needles and tingling. Fantastic when I'm in full craft mode... and probably repetitive strain.
Anyway I have been trying to finish some crochet projects!
4 panel comic P1: a right hand draws a wavy stroke on a sketchbook page. A caption box up top reads "draw" P2: the word "CREATE" dominates a panel with a black background, forming in the negative space. Various small shapes surround it. P3: a lone simplified humanoid figure is on the bottom right of a another panel with a black background. A thought bubble forms above their head, the words "if not for others, then at least for yourself" within. P4: The Earth dominates the bottom of the panel, with a sliver of space above it. Clouds swirl and boil across the Earth, which is the only element on the entire page coloured a pink-red. A caption box above reads "now, more than ever"

a size comparison of two small crochet projects, on the palm of the hand for scale. One is a bright yellow sun motif. The other is the same motif but blue and TINY.
"Kiwi, you have been crocheting less than a month, why do you just happen to have a 0.6mm crochet hook just lying around" shhhhhhh let me do tiny things
A crochet sun motif earring, in variegated yellow/white thread. It has a turquoise coloured bead and a gold tone earring hook.
Something something crochet newbie... I do tend to click with yarny things, so a project on a 2mm hook was only natural. Handmade earring!
Now to try and make that earrings, plural.
I'm glad we refused to watch the song contest that will not be named this year.
