celebrating july birthdays
Sharing my birthday post with Toast this year since he didn’t get his own last week! β‘ We turned 31 and 12, and I thought I’d celebrate by sharing a photo of us from each year 2022 – 2012. Not to be a tease, but the last 2 photos, 2013 and 2012, are some of…
july update
Hi! I’ve spent a lot of july as a fancy heated cat bed. First, it was because Mike and I were isolating as a planned precaution after he got back from a work trip (he pretty much stayed in the bedroom for a week). Then despite our best efforts, masking in the apartment, blasting air…
michelle’s regency birthday
This weekend Michelle threw the most elaborate, Regency-themed party to celebrate her birthday. πΈππ It’s been awhile since I’ve been to a themed party, and even if my pandemic brain thinks it’s a little more work than dressing normally, I have to say it’s definitely worth it. It’s so much fun creating a mini world…
happy 100th birthday, ηΊηΊ
Today is what would have been my ηΊηΊβs 100th birthday. εΌ΅ε€©ε¨ was a great man and great artist. He passed away when I was 3 so I didnβt get the chance to spend too long with him, but Iβm lucky that Iβve gotten to know him more since, and lucky that I still continue to…
knitting and crochet
As I’ve gotten older, I’ve been trying to be more selective about the new projects I start. I have a lot of reasons for this – lack of space to store supplies for new hobbies/an insane wish to be slightly more minimal (I know that’s not really possible at this point haha), not enough time…
lunar new year qipao
I bought this qipao when we went to LA’s Chinatown over the summer, and after I got these sparkly hair buns for christmas, I knew I had the perfect outfit for Lunar New Year. Cats enjoyed the photoshoot, as always. π―πβ¨ (I took these photos over the weekend because I knew I’d be spending most…
sailorhg while(fruit) show
Yesterday I went to my first art show in a really long time. It was Amy of sailorhg‘s first solo art show, titled while(fruit) and hosted at Capsule Corner! I really loved the sentiment behind making computers personal again, and the pun of the “fruit loop” videos playing on each computer was amazing haha. All…
bats and cats
Bat since 2015. π¦ I like to dress up, but for halloween I always end up just wanting to be comfy and cozy hahah. The pink backdrop in a couple photos is a wall in @iamchubbybunny‘s cute office hehe β‘ And of course I had to get some photos with my boys. ππ¦π Below, the photo…
mooncakes 2021
Another year, another round of homemade mooncakes – this year though, I made them with Pam and Sarah! β‘ Making mooncakes is definitely better with friends, since it means I automatically have people to share them with (I’m physically incapable of making a small batch). π A couple of close-ups by Sarah: This was my…
