Made it out of the house to mail off my friend's order. I misjudged the weather and only went out in a thin cardi -- the wind was *sharp*. So walking back, I see a woman walking towards me in a proper puffer jacket, and I'm just like, 'I misjudged the weather'. She laughed, and said she was just about to ask me if I was cold. And I replied that yes, I was a smidge. Though not as bad going home, as the wind wasn't blowing quite the right direction for that to be as bitter.

My new loom came in yesterday from Craft Supplies UK (craftsuppliesuk.co.uk/collections/beadwork/products/bead-loom-kit-long). As soon as I had it constructed, my youngest ran in and said it was time for her to learn how to do bead looming. So yes, she immediately commandeered my new loom, ha ha. Her first effort is currently sitting on the loom waiting for her to remove it and start a second. Yeah, she's already got a second in mind. But I also know that if her interest continues to persist, she will buy her own -- and better beads to go with it (currently letting her practice with my less uniform beads).

Right. Back to game-and-bead. *nodnods*

I sewed a roman-style harness for one of my beanie babies. It's pretty loose fitting, in order to not crease the plush fabric and to be easily taken off through the head.

There are exactly 2 #MagicTheGathering cards that feature #ferrets, another 2 that are specifically weasels (yes, only 2 in all of Bloomburrow), and one winged weasel that I know of. Mustelids as a whole have plenty of representation with all the badgers, otters, and wolverines.. but ferrets and weasels are scarce. I went ahead and got all 5 cards and glued sleeves to a painted background for them.
