My most recent finished project.

Dress was self-drafted. I used rayon challis for the dress, polycotton for the bodice lining and crinoline for the skirt lining.

This is Eggplant. Eggplant is not a smart cat. (sh.itjust.works)
 

Eggplant is one of my MIL's rescue cats. On my trip to see her, he has:

  • gotten into my car (luckily I noticed him before driving away)
  • attempted to nurse on a nonlactating dog
  • stuck his head into a pen holding the dog who tried to chase him

I've recently started darning my worn-out socks (shoutout to that one poster who posted a tutorial) and so it's going really well! My socks are still comfy, and the woven patches do the job.

SV: lost the weight I gained over vacation (sh.itjust.works)
 

I had a week-long staycation while relatives visited recently, and weate out several times. I gained a couple of pounds. As of this morning, I have officially lost it all and am down to 152lbs.

Turns out my toddler DOES like spaghetti, but only if it's MY spaghetti. (sh.itjust.works)
 

My toddler has been going through a incredibly picky phase. He's been turning his nose up at foods he's consistently eaten before, and...it's been a struggle.

Recently, I made myself spaghetti for dinner. My partner had already coaxed our son into eating some eggs and fruit, and my son had shown no interest in spaghetti two days earlier, so I didn't make any for him.

Turns out the toddler does like spaghetti, and is very insistent on eating it if he can eat it off my fork, out of my bowl, while I'm also trying to eat from the same bowl. If I give up, give him the whole bowl and look for something else? Nah. Then it's no good anymore apparently.

Why are toddlers like this?

Is learning programming worth it? Outside of a career, what can I do with programming? (sh.itjust.works)
 

I learned a little bit of python back in college with the hope that it would give me a competitive edge in the field I hoped to enter. Lo and behold, I got a job in a different industry entirely and any knowledge of coding I once had became irrelevant.

Would it be worth it to pick up my python textbook again and self-teach in my free time if I don't want to make a career of coding? What exactly can python be used to create?
