I’ve been really loving my little project corner lately. I’ve got a bit of WIP-itis, but I like it that way. It makes it easy to do a little here and there and make progress while still enjoying myself.
What a treat to visit Pesto’s favorite place today: the beach!
My favorite part about working from bed is that I get to share co-working space with this little guy <3
Working from my “bed desk” this morning. Ben and I share our office, and he’s doing some big-time presentations at work this week. While he’s wowing his colleagues, Pesto and I are relegated to other areas of the house :)
I had glued and started sewing this pouch before realizing that I forgot to finish the edges of the flap strap. Dang! I could try and carefully do it after I finish sewing, but I might just leave it and let it burnish naturally. 🪡
Sweet Pesto had a follow-up appointment at the vet today. It went well; everything seems to be healing nicely. We’ve added an NSAID to Pesto’s medicinal arsenal—it may help prevent tumor regrowth. We shall see!
Monday.

I got impatient and bungled my way through sewing this pouch together with straight needles. It was difficult and made worse by the thick thread I picked. But! It’s done now 🪡
I’m learning tarot and elder futhark because why not. It’s fun to learn. 🔮
Today’s pull:
Card: Queen of Cups, Rx. Rune: ᛝ, Inguz.
~ponders the existence of dinner. Hint hint
It’s nice to have the right tool for the job. For leather working, it seems like that tool is always one I don’t have yet. Can my new curved needles just get here already?? 🪡
I bothered an interesting bug friend on my way to the store the other day.

Pupdate
Pesto got his mouth lasered! The tumor was drastically reduced (yay!), he’s lost some teeth and somehow is even cuter than before. We’ll have to wait and see how quickly the mass grows back. I’m appreciating every moment until it becomes a problem again.
He has recovered from the anesthesia and is a little more mobile than he was yesterday. He’s figured out how to drink water again, and he’s remembered how to eat without having to use his jaw/tumor as a shovel.
Earlier this morning, I heard Ben shout from the kitchen: “He’s drinking water!” I responded appropriately: “YAY!” And then I ran over there to see for myself :)
Suffice it to say that we’re relieved, exhausted, and feel like a big weight has been lifted. Here’s to many more days of enjoying Pesto living his best, most comfortable life.
We got Pesto home yesterday and he looks so good <3
Pesto’s at the vet getting some teeth removed and his mouth-tumor zapped with a laser. The house always feels empty without him here…
Got a bit further on this envelope pouch over the weekend. Size came out a bit weird so I had to get creative with the assembly.
