Last Notes npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia Hupsista is one of the more common ways to say whoops, but there's also but not limited to: Hopsansaa, hups, hupskeikkaa, ohopsis, hupsis, ohops... Hopsansaa is very close to the Swedish exclamation! npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia Non-Finnish speaking comrades! Please choose the funniest looking one from these exclamations in Finnish that one might use upon fucking something up, part one: #Swearing #Language npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia I'm generally genuinely and of my own free will polite, patient, kind and even helpful and warm to pretty much anyone I meet, since it's not a great ordeal for me and most people are inherently likeable once you get to know them and understand why they're like that... But good grief, I do not have it in me to launch into an impromptu lesson about manners and what is basic courtesy in any given situation. I'm just a person, not an etiquette tutor! Observe and use your brain, you can do it! :blob_melt_sob: npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia Sure, the specific etiquette for any situation is going to be slightly different, but that's why you shut the fuck up and observe for a little bit! And after you've observed, you do your best! It's not that complicated to try, people will notice you trying at least! Anyway. Truly just incomprehensible to me. Even if you don't natively "speak the language" of the social situation you're in, that doesn't mean you just raise your own volume and hope everyone magically understands yours! npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia This isn't directed at anyone specific today, but it is what I was thinking about as I was ironing: It boggles my mind every time I come across someone who has somehow failed to absorb any of the ambient cues about how to generally behave? I'm autistic and while I usually approach human social situations with the bemused passion of an alien anthropologist, it does... Deeply confuse me how people can miss so very very many data points when they're literally everywhere! Sir. SIR. Sir you are older than me, how have you possibly not noticed people will respond better if you're polite... npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia CW eye contact, nothing but eye contact, this is a photo of Karvinen staring into your very soul and almost nothing but the stare! I was mostly trying to document the little freckle he has in one eye as he was gazing at me, and almost got it into focus before I was furiously cuddled by him so this is the best I got... Edit: Forgive me, I have touched the colours to negate the upload compression! #Cats https://eldritchcafe.files.fedi.monster/media_attachments/files/116/992/180/730/677/113/original/20547c91b139a214.jpg npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia Transmute a billionaire! Change their nature by… npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia Vague photos of the green skirt I just finished! It's really a lovely fabric, the embroidery is so pretty, and it's very very light. The hem facing is stiff enough to give it some body, and the nine gores while more work, made a really lovely shape happen! What is it for? Just a generic Summer skirt, worn with a light petticoat. 🐱 #Sewing #HistoryBounding https://eldritchcafe.files.fedi.monster/media_attachments/files/116/968/948/182/949/568/original/46d8cb61c845b6b8.jpg https://eldritchcafe.files.fedi.monster/media_attachments/files/116/968/948/171/865/433/original/f571f67b3a0ac014.jpg npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia Best of luck with it! It would be really great to not get more sick! npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia My immune system is medically suppressed overly enthusiastic trash, and I have the constitution of a napkin, but I also wear a mask pretty much every time I go outside unless I'm going into a forest outdoors and am not expecting to be face to face with more than one person. Because it's fairly easy, and definitely easier than getting sick, which is often a month's long recovery process for me and also dangerous. That said... I'm sure I've had the cold at some point? I must have, just can't recall when! npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia A poll! When is the last time you had a cold, the flu, or some other vaguely normal malady? Just read a post about someone's vacation and event being ruined by a cold, and thought to myself: "Yeah I can't remember the last time... Maybe 2022? 2024?" npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia And Karvinen, in his little storage box, where he stores himself away. #Cats https://eldritchcafe.files.fedi.monster/media_attachments/files/116/912/922/274/039/640/original/ec3d8c133e04028c.jpg npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia The well dressed sir, looking like he's had not one single thought in his life. #Cats https://eldritchcafe.files.fedi.monster/media_attachments/files/116/912/912/585/558/639/original/06bd97d17c35f7cc.jpg npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia Posting some boys again! Cat photos for the cat photos god!

Or two, or three! npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia A man of the basket! I thought putting more clean laundry in the ironing basket would mean he wouldn't fit, but clearly I forgot about cat physics. #Cats https://eldritchcafe.files.fedi.monster/media_attachments/files/116/896/243/044/567/306/original/883f8f575ae35d39.jpg https://eldritchcafe.files.fedi.monster/media_attachments/files/116/896/243/095/030/387/original/65bd6aa6a841ee1a.jpg npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia Hello, hi, how are you today? :blob_cat_flower: npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia You wake up with an equally surprised clone of yourself next to you, one morning. Or maybe you're the clone? Maybe you're both an original, just split on two? Anyway. The following thoughts occur... npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia Not visible in photo: The dulcet tones of some good vintage jazz, and a thunderstorm in the far distance. #SewingWithCats #Sewing https://eldritchcafe.files.fedi.monster/media_attachments/files/116/855/919/041/321/526/original/b5a71e7ec8fe1ea7.jpg npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia I used this variegated cotton thread in my preferred very specific type of thread, because it very nearly matches and doesn't anger me where it doesn't and it would have taken a week to order a spool I'd have only used for this. You have to be really close to see it! #Sewing https://eldritchcafe.files.fedi.monster/media_attachments/files/116/855/615/655/184/706/original/249aa7391748304f.jpg npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia Yesterday's sewing: I was very tired but managed to complete the back opening plackets for the skirt. I've done this so many times now it didn't take much thought, and of course the most fiddly bits were easier to do by hand. #Sewing https://eldritchcafe.files.fedi.monster/media_attachments/files/116/855/589/652/226/256/original/0abb908380bc9a63.jpg https://eldritchcafe.files.fedi.monster/media_attachments/files/116/855/589/609/148/845/original/e0a3ed9cf311145f.jpg https://eldritchcafe.files.fedi.monster/media_attachments/files/116/855/589/669/219/242/original/41df3c121d2d34e5.jpg npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia Me, trying to find an amusingly dramatic old Victorian painting about a woman reading letters to post with "me trying to catch up with my correspondence (replies)" and wow... Bertha Wegmann?? I know nothing except that she was Danish and that I love her paintings now!

It's much harder to lose an entire bag than some keys! Or not notice if you drop it! That's also saved me from losing my keys inside the elevator shaft multiple times. That said there's a reason why I've done that whole chain situation, so I wouldn't be surprised if that one won... npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia Choose a mundane superpower from this very limited list of them! npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia You must make a fierce and memorable impression, what colours do you wear? npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia I'm not making a fully Edwardian skirt, since the fabric is very very modern in feel, but it's just the shape I like and that flatters me, so why not. The fabric is this embroidered cotton, a sort of pale sea foam green, which does not wish to be photographed accurately. It's very pretty! Full of little decorative holes, which I hope will be refreshing in a Summer heat, and will require a petticoat under it at all times, but I do that anyway, so. 😄 https://eldritchcafe.files.fedi.monster/media_attachments/files/116/833/391/317/580/763/original/b06f293d0e504a73.jpg npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia Shall attempt to transform a tried and true self drafted skirt pattern from a five gore skirt to a... Many more gores skirt. We'll see how many I feel like. In theory it's exceedingly simple, but please send your wishes to the small gods of sewing for me not to get distracted at a critical point and have to do it twice! #Sewing #HistoryBounding npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia ...do you ever wonder what would happen if every single Windows computer bricked itself installing a bad automatic update? npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia The worst offender I've ever met is my dad's Dyson that probably could be described as a workplace hazard if it was in professional use, and it's genuinely not even as powerful as my reasonably affordable regular old quiet model Electrolux. When I once asked my Mum to quickly vacuum a bit of kitty litter when she was over, she struggled for a bit and asked me how to "turn it up" and I had to tell her that yeah, it was already at maximum power and hella strong... It just wasn't loud! npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia Oh hey, want to be annoyed about vacuum cleaners? THEY DON'T NEED TO BE LOUD! It's an old manufacturing trick, where humans think something is more powerful if it's louder. (Similar to something heavy feeling more expensive!) If you want a vacuum that isn't horridly loud and doesn't fray your nerves and terrify your pets every time you turn it on... Just get a "silent" model. Not only have they added a bit of foam padding, they've strived for a quieter design. The motors are often the same. npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia Part 2: Other curses that you can turn into opportunities by thinking outside the box… npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia This poll brought to you by my brain switching to idle background processes while ironing. I think I'd have to go with either the fur or the languages. npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia Recently you’ve been inflicted by an inconvenient curse. It could have been a lot worse and you’re doing your best! At least a friendly errant fey managed to tone it down to… npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia I'm not going to go buy fabric any time soon, but at least I can think and plan. Depending on the cutting diagram might end up with enough excess fabric to also do a tiny shirt or bodice. Maybe. Hmm. npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia Idly thinking about there maybe being a very narrow niche for another walking skirt... I have so many skirts, and two of them currently awaiting ironing and putting away, and yet. Still, it's been months since I thought of anything new to sew so it might indeed be viable, because I'm full up on warmer and heavier ones, but only have a couple of very light Summer ones, and half of those white. A dark green satin one, though... #Sewing #HistoryBounding npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia The littlest sir, he has artistically framed himself. #Cats https://eldritchcafe.files.fedi.monster/media_attachments/files/116/770/873/974/314/380/original/c051f70579c6aa7f.jpg npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia A poll!

Are you hot, sweaty, chronically ill with temperature issues, one or multiple of these? Hand fans! 🪭 Spanish fans, silk fans, bamboo fans, those round paper ones! They're really very nice, can be tucked away into very little space, are silent and don't need any batteries - and have been providing relief from heat and sweat for who knows how long. Fans! You can just get them and use them! npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia For morale reasons, please admire these sleeves that I intensively pattern matched when I made this 1780s or so Redingote.

Hogfather (film) is quite good, though not my favourite. The books are much better because of how complex and vibrant they are, and they'd have been better off making mini series with infinity budget out of them. But yeah, love Going Postal. npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia I think, that for my emotional wellbeing, I'm going to try mending this very old pillowcase for a little bit, instead of tackling the mountain of other things I should be doing. It's one of my favourites and that's why it's falling apart, but I figure it could become a cute decorative pillow, now.
