I’ve been trying to use dumbbells lately (mostly as wrist supports for pushups), and I find I don’t want to touch them because they are cold and a little rusted, so I made handles for em.

They work! These are just a slightly off-square quilted piece with velcro sewn into the corners. Fully machine washable for when they inevitably become gross, and a helpful mini test of some quilting material I got (there’s a thin strip of cotton batting in each one.

In August, one of my Daily Things was cat pants. My mom converted some sweats to shorts, and I hemmed up the other sides of the cutoff legs to make tubes. My mom got a fancy new sewing machine with all kinds of crazy stitches, so that added some fun to the project.

I am going completely bonkers, though, because Mr Bun has been playing with the cat pant for WEEKS now, and I still can’t get a good picture of him in action. One day soon!

I’ve been meaning to take pictures of these ferns near work for a while.

Just saw a gull in a little park near my office, chewing on a chicken bone. It attracted the attention of a crow, which rushed the gull a couple times. (To no avail.) I would LOVE to get a shot of a gull and a crow fighting over a chicken bone. Almost enough to start leaving chicken bones in that little park.
