One head’s worth of fur pieces cut out today. (Shown in B&W because it’s artistic liberty and the color design is a surprise for the recipient.) #FursuitMaker

Tonight’s dinner bake was a savory herb and olive oil couronne loaf. Came out pretty tasty though I was hoping for a more defined spiral inside. Still pleased and goes nicely with soup. #ChefRat

“All Barge comes pre-dented for your convenience!” I’m not sure I’ve ever received a can that wasn’t. Still like the product tho.

A (probably short) workshop stream today, working on building eyes. Come hang out and chill. www.twitch.tv/nicodemusrat

Tonight I made chicken soup from scratch and fresh bread. It’s a specialty—“pain sans recette”. Y’see, I mismeasured ingredients and only caught it after first proof period. :P So I added liquid until it felt right and a long knead to smooth out lumps. Saved it! Caraway seeds for flavor. #ChefRat

One of my favorite photos of Blueberry Coon which was taken a few winters back at a local park. Just a raccoon goofing around in the snow -- quite a contrast to the current summer weather! #FursuitFriday 🐾 Me! ✂️ @lobitoworks.bsky.social

A tanager and a flicker together on the bird feeder this morning!

Tonight I made a comfy seafood chowder. One pot meal using up some leftover frozen shrimp, saved salmon tail portion, and such. Tasty casual dinner. #ChefRat

Happy Pride y'all!! We had SO MANY FURRIES in the Portland pride parade today!! Thanks to @getoutthefloat.com, @plush-party.com, and @slabtownscamper.com for organizing our furry floats!

Additional pics of Tessie Belle showing different angles. I'll make a few final tweaks and maybe get more photos later. So pleased that people like her! She was a fun build and one I've wanted to do for quite a while now. Moo! :D #FursuitFriday #FursuitMaker #CommsOpen

Introducing for #FursuitFriday my toony cow Tessie Belle! Just did this final fitting & photos. I'm thinking about making her a cowbell collar but that's a build to tackle later. I hope you like her! If YOU need to be a cow, let me know! Happy to grow the herd. :D #FursuitMaker #CommsOpen

Time for a workshop stream! I'm building a bat head, specifically eye structure, today. Come hang out for crafty times :) #FursuitMaker #MakerLivestream www.twitch.tv/nicodemusrat

I am wildly in love with this rat bag even if he's impractical 🐀

I made a sewing desk organizer! This took 75min and used only a ruler, knife, tape, and Amazon box which would’ve been recycled. I’m leaning into the cardboard aesthetic in workshop storage but you could also paint or cover it with drawer liner paper for a clean look. #FursuitMaker #WorkshopTips

Furries at AC donated over $87,000 to a local animal sanctuary! Great to see and one of the reasons I continue to love this fandom. The money will help cover rising feed prices and build a new barn. triblive.com/local/valley...

Jessica Poutous never imagined the land she and her husband purchased in 2014 would blossom into the farm-animal haven it is today. “We started doing rescue in 2015,” Poutous said. “...

Fursuit (& general) crafting tip: Keep a “discard” box during a project. Toss in all your first draft pieces, patterns you don’t plan to keep, scraps, etc. Nothing you *intend* to use but it’s there for reference if you need to check back! Empty the box when project is fully done. :) #FursuitMaker

Streaming from the workshop for a little while. I'm starting on a new fursuit build! Doing the head liner and base in today's session, hopefully. www.twitch.tv/nicodemusrat

Fursuit making -- Starting a new head

I finished today’s chore: sweeping the roof. Removed leaves and dislodged all the mosses so the summer sun can proper dry it. genuinely curious: is this a thing where you live too or just a Pacific Northwest necessity?

The store had fresh cherries on sale so we (me and my daughter) made a cake! Boxed mix and some canned whipped cream but with fresh fruit it was delightful.

Today I finished up this pair of monster paws for the lovely @hedrickmonster.bsky.social :) Fleece palm and fingers with pads/beans, spandex lining, stuffing in fingers and arms. Feel free to ping me if you need a pair of wild paws! #FursuitMaker #FursuitFriday #CommsOpen

I baked babka! This is a family favorite. One loaf is chocolate swirl and the other is cinnamon (with a touch of nutmeg and allspice). And if you’re wondering whether this recipe contains lamb, no, you’re confusing this with baa-bka. ;) #ChefRat

I was looking something up on Wikipedia and was surprised by historical furries making a cameo :)

Good progress on monster paws today. One paw seen, other has halves ready to put together. After that step, both need fur sleeves, linings installed, and cuffs. Thx to folks who hung out and chatted in stream :) #FursuitMaker
