Gigi of the Ribbons shado_archer I do all kinds of handicrafts. I spin and make my own yarn, crochet, sculpt, do papercrafts, make bath products, sew, and I got a needle felting project for Christmas that I want to learn how to do. So many things, that's amazing. I tried to learn to crochet when I was younger, but it didn't stick . . . I crochet on muscle memory now, I have been doing it most of my life. I once crocheted a queen sized afghan in under a week.... I didn't do anything else that week mind you, but I was still impressed with my self.

It is actually a giant rainbow flag with a verigated rainbow border (because I am that kind of queer xd ) It was all done in granny squares which work up pretty quick. The longest part of it was sewing the squares together.

Oh I bet it's lovely~ emotion_kirakira it is huge and very warm but since I have a twin bed and it is queen sized I can double it up and make it warmer. And since it is granny squares there are wholes as a part of the pattern and it works in the summer since it breathes but I still feel covered (I have a hard time sleeping without some kind of blanket)

I'm the same, have to have a blanket of some sort and pillows to snuggle in as well.

I end up cocooning myself in blankets and pillows and then my cat digs in to the blankets to get some cuddles in too.... he gets really annoyed if I fall asleep before him and he wakes me up so I can let him in to the cocoon.

Aw, snuggle kitty~ Mine just drape themselves over me. Not so great as I'm a restless sleeper and move a lot.

I think I move a bit in my sleep since I have fibromyalgia and tend to not be able to get comfy but Harry seems to find ways to cuddle in close no matter what.

A determined snuggler, I like that. Mine don't give up either. They get right back where they want once I'm done moving for the time being.

I am just happy he ignores the birds and lets them keep climbing around my shoulders and he will snuggle my feet on the other side of my laptop. I don't trust the dogs like that. But then again my cat is younger than the bird I have had the longest (Momo the conure is 4.5 and Harry the cat is 3.5) I know it is still a risk though. Even a tiny bit of cat bacteria can make a parrot very sick.

I've never had birds, just kitties and a dog here and there.

They are a lot of work but are so good for my anxiety and depression to care for them.

Zodi bird is the best when I am depressed, she snuggles into the back of my ear. Momo is a goofball and always cheers me up with her antics and Boris is a great companion who keeps me stable.
