Now that the URL has officially been x'ed—and most of the comments and likes on this app are XXX'ed—'tis time to say farewell to the bird app.

I'm on Bluesky, Threads, Instagram, Mastodon, and Hive... so we'll see where we all land if I can finally reduce where all I post.

@campyWHY Nope, we were walking through the aisles with him on his harness and leash, so he walked over to people as they cooed over him to accept their admiring scritches.

Sometimes he'll let me carry him as my purrot, but he wanted to walk around on his own this time.

Had a Michaels Rewards voucher to use, so Mr. Merc and I headed into the store to pick up a few basics. He, of course, encountered his fan club in multiple aisles, and indulged them all with his acceptance of their pats and chin scritches, and even posed for some pics.

@JortsTheCat Hmmm... not in the trash, so hard to say.

I have a craft fair tomorrow, but my chronic health issues have been acting up all this week. Fortunately, this one is in-town, and my dad will be available to drive and help with set up and strike, otherwise I'd have to cancel.

The day started off rainy and gloomy, but it's GORGEOUS right now at Rough River Dam State Resort Park!

[The Crafty Kat - 💙🌥@thecraftykat.com @thecraftykat]

There'll be no Booth Cat at Rough River Dam State Resort Park today, but he's helping me load the car anyway!

@campyWHY He wriggles out of it every so often, but then comes back for more minutes later. He also crawls under the covers with me in bed and has been known to stay there for hours.

My studio assistant is no help at all when he wants to cuddle when I sit down at my worktable; thankfully I remembered tonight to grab his baby wrap before heading down to the studio for hands-free snuggles.

New stemless #wine glasses have arrived and my product inspector is hard at work checking out the merchandise. #Mercury #FreddieMercury #BoothCat #blackcats

@RosieLea_Curio I'm in that rare minority which says "cola".

This is adorable. I'm sure this advice applies to someone, somewhere, but there is no way in heck I have my stuff packed up and ready to go 1 week before a show. 😂

Next craft fair is on May 4th at Rough River Dam State Resort Park, and I don't have anything Derby OR Star Wars to sell.

But the craft fair the following weekend is a wine festival in Elizabethtown, KY, and you better BELIEVE I'm bringing some of THESE:

@RosieLea_Curio Somewhere out of frame is a console TV with a German anniversary clock on top of it.

@RosieLea_Curio One of these days, I need to give you a list of my frequently-ordered "basics" and let you be my supplier for those.

[The Crafty Kat - 💙🌥@thecraftykat.com @thecraftykat]

Finally finished cataloging all my receipts so I can file my taxes tomorrow and...

...um...

Yeah, the rule this year is definitely "less buying materials, more selling finished stuff". 😬
