Finished my second octoplushy! I'm not giving them names, that's up to the recipients. (Hopefully! I hope the parents like them enough, they're perhaps not very cuddly...) These are both for newborn babies, one of whom can be born any day now!

This one has some thicker tentacles, as well as a little bit more #sashiko to spice it up. The face is notably different, too. I think I like the embroidered face more, but this one has a certain manic charm.

Yeahhh go ladybuddy! 🐞 I've been having issues with aphids on this small cherry tree for years, actively farmed by ants. Just refreshed our ant bait box, but it doesn't seem to be making much headway...

Haiku, huh? I must admit I had never heard of it before...

This is lovely!
