21 May - Craft And Chat!

[jeshyr]

I hereby declare Saturday the 21st of May to be the next Craft and Chat day, because it's time to have one and koriyuri reminded me of that - thank you!

It will be (loosely) between 12pm and 5pm, and people can show up for all or any part of that. The usual ground rules apply, bring anything you need and if you can manage to bring something nibbly to share that's good too (but absolutely not required).

If you are a art or craft type person and feel like bringing your art or craft to work on (or just to show people), that's cool. In the past the definition of "art or craft" has included electronics and people working on laptops, as well as more usual stuff like drawing, knitting, embroidery, etc - basically anything that won't interfere with other people is fine to bring. If you just want to bring yourself and sit around and chat that's fine. Turning up and sitting in the corner and not talking is also absolutely fine, as is taking yourself outside for a break from being with others - lots of us have social anxiety or related things and you won't be judged for it (you may have to let us know you don't want to be talked to, however).

If anybody has any access needs I haven't covered, feel free to ask publicly or privately and I'll do my best.

Feel free to contact me with any questions, or leave a comment on this post.

See you there!

Cheers,
Ricky

PS
There's 2 cats here at the moment - I have a foster cat, Peggie, staying until she finds a forever home. Anekin isn't terribly impressed about this, as Peggie just arrived this afternoon, but he's just been hissing and growling a bit - nothing worse thankfully. *touch wood*

...you do know, don't you, that 21 May 2011 is the official date of the end of the world? :-D

oh, Peggie is a beauty! only female cats can have three colors to their fur (you really don't want to know about the complexities of cat color genetics), and her coloring is nothing short of splendid! i don't think it will be long before her forever humans find her and take her home.

Just had a look at Peggie's profile, and I followed the link to the page about "desexing" (not a term we use here in the UK - we say neutering for a male and spaying for a female - desexing sounds like taking *all* their bits off!). I notice that all the info about it was about dogs, not cats - it mentioned "interfemale aggression", meaning aggression with other female dogs, and I thought "between female cats and dogs?". Then I realised it was all about dogs and they'd forgotten to mention cats at all.
