Hello friends!! Here's a little cozy/vaguely festive photo dump from the last month or so :o) Featuring so many cozy catto pics because of COURSE

I had Pepper try on the little Christmas collar my parents sent me a couple years back, and she likes it WAY more than Sophie did lolol she even slept with it on!!! my lil christmas jester <33
miss soph has been perching on the pillow next to me almost every morning -- her sweet little nose is raw and kinda wounded right now cause the air is dry and she keeps sneezing and licking her nsoe too much :(( i've been putting tiny little dots of vaseline on it the past few days and it seems to be helping
I made all these lil felt xmas trees and am in the process of stringing them up into a little garland -- I know the holiday season is almost over but it's such a cute garland I'll probs keep it up well into January hehe
pepper is so cuddly in the mornings sometimes, it's pretty fucked up how cute she is about it
I did have to take Pep to the vet this week cause she's gotten a lil cough :( She got an antibiotic shot, and I've also got her on a round of steroids -- she seems much better already!! She was so good at the vet, barely cried at all!!! Brave girl <3
my castmate/friend leah came over between shows one day to hang out, and we all ended up napping on the couch and pepper was wedged SO snugly between us lol
on my two-show days, where I'm at the theatre from noon to 10, Ares has been driving over to look after the girls and give them dinner and stuff -- they both adore him, and he sends me photo proof of them all cozy together and it makes me all weepy
I love Ares' dog Ace cause they look so much like each other it's absurd
it was my castmate rebecca's birthday last week and everyone chipped in to get a cake to celebrate her!!!
we also had a "holiday hootenanny" where we had baked potatoes and fixin's and it was a very cozy little company celebration :3
Marian and I had sushi for the first time in WEEKS and it was so so so delish
I just finished making a patchwork blanket for one of my nephews for xmas and Pepper had to bless it during the process, of course
it's been getting grayer and grayer here, obvs, but every now and again we have a gorgeous cold sunny day and it really does wonders for my brain
I started playing Honkai Star Rail cause of Argenti....pretty knight man...he's so Tamaki Suoh (of Ouran High School Host Club) coded it's absurd. also STRONG Marluxia Kingdom Hearts vibes (also as I was pulling for Silver Wolf I lost my 50/50 to Welt which I was VERY FINE WITH love this middle aged man)
I got a haircut!!! I've been wanting to try a wolf-cut for ages, and I figured that now was as good a time as any~~ I showed my hairdresser this photo of Jungkook and she was like "yep I get it" and she really nailed it!! Initially, right after the appointment, I was like "oh no i've made a horrible mistake I hate it sobs" but by the end of the day I was all in on it >:)
One of our stage managers, Stina, has a sweet little dog named Scout who comes with her to the theatre every day and just sleeps in the hallway during the show, and one day she came around with a little sign to all the dressing rooms to give everyone the half-hour call ToT it was VERY PRECIOUS
The backstage team has been consistently working on puzzles during the show, and they just finished their second 1000 piece puzzle! I think they already have another one out they're trying to finish before the end of the run
Our show closes on Sunday and I am going to be very sad ToT I really love having co-workers and seeing friends every day and it's only when I finish a theatre project that I remember how frankly lonely my job is...and the long winter days don't help much ;; I've been reaching out to friends more though, to fight off these Winter Lonelies~
I wanted to share my fit for opening night cause it was VERY GOOD (I got these incredible red boots this summer in Sweden!) and I brought Ares along as my +1 and we both cried during the show :')
I made some really cute little heart wrist warmers with this pattern!! I made one during a matinee and the second during the evening show the same day heh (I've just been sat in the dressing room crafting up a storm during every show)
I also bought this hat pattern from Cosmaudi for an incredible crochet hat that literally looks like it's 1x1 knit rib, it's insane, and the hat is so stretchy and cute!!!
and some friend and catto pics to round it out <3

I know it's been long time no blog, but I hope you enjoy this little photo dump hehe

Ares and I leave next week to go back to Houston for the holidays -- so the fam gets to meet the boyfriend at last OuO;; I know they're gonna love him but there's still a lil element of nerves there!!

sending all my love xx
