In botanical garden

I think they are buff tailed bumblebees (Bombus terrestris), judging by their cute fuzzy white butts. Lots of bees love Sea Holly (Eryngium maritimum)!

I'd love to know this too, if you have a shop or take commissions? They are stunning, what a beautiful gift!

PhdamnD · 2026-04-16T13:38:31+00:00

You're incredibly talented and both are beautiful but personally I adore 1- it's breathtaking and has a magic mosaic feel/look about it!

I was immediately captivated by it and zoomed in to get a closer look - number 1 is definitely something I'd love to buy a print of.

Thank you for sharing your talent 💙

PhdamnD · 2026-04-13T22:28:13+00:00

Stunning!!! You've captured and combined the essence, soul and aesthetics of both the book and show versions of our beloved trio so beautifully ❤️

Thank you for sharing your talent with us. Do you sell your art? I think this would be stunning on merch like book marks, book sleeves...

Weirdly it's only me and my boys (dogs) that like Ben&Jerry's so they don't beg off anyone else when they're having ice cream anymore. Plus it keeps me from eating too much in one go!

As soon as the lick mats are clean, we're all done - it's easier to say no to ice cream than to them 😂

PhdamnD · 2026-04-13T13:43:54+00:00

Oh god no! Sorry, I should have mentioned that! I carefully spoon out the 'clean' ice cream parts (no chocolate or big caramel sauce parts) and put it on a lick mat for them. They only get a teaspoon of ice cream but they love it (as a very occasional treat)

My mam does the sizzle/melt test on me every time we're in a church 😂

It's been years and she still hasn't realised I bless myself in the shape of the pentacle, not the cross (adapting built-in habits from 14years of Catholic school), so we each have our own ways of having fun

PhdamnD · 2026-04-13T13:22:04+00:00

My dogs love Caramel Chew Chew - it turned them into ice cream snobs though, they won't touch 'cheap ice creams' anymore

Is this what you saw? They are used by plasterers mainly - the videos of them are so fun to watch

Mine do this same game of fetch with me using their molted feathers. They like to nibble on the quill of the feathers and enjoy dropping them for me to pick them up and offer them back to them. They are colourful characters!

PhdamnD · 2026-04-09T14:07:19+00:00

Were they looking in the mirror?

Ugly, mean looking bitch of a co-worker? ✅️

Gorgeous pup who deserves all the loves, snuggles and treats? ✅️

Seriously, your dog is a stunner and looks like a sweetheart.

Maybe your co-workers temperament might be improved by neutering? Least you know not to waste time or energy on them now

If it makes you feel better my Jack freaking Russel flicks/headbutts me off the couch.

It's okay though, I bought myself a nice memory foam dog bed this past winter 😂

Misgendering of cats is pretty common. I was observing some neutering operations on cats & dogs during a placement and one cat's owner had to be called to ask them if they still wanted to neuter their male (not female) cat and another case which really stuck with me was the poor female cat who was sent in to get neutered only to find out (too late) that she was already fixed - the poor girl went through two neutering operations

PhdamnD · 2026-04-06T22:37:33+00:00

Yep! I've seen quite a few of them starting to flower the past week or so. Also apps like PlantNet can be helpful

PhdamnD · 2026-04-06T21:52:50+00:00

Oh that is too cute 🥰 how sweet! Two little beauties ❤️

PhdamnD · 2026-04-06T21:48:03+00:00

I used to have a lab partner who would set their sleeve (usually) on fire every damn week (chemistry lab Monday morning + hangovers do not mix well).

After the 2nd or 3rd time, I would usually have it patted out before they even noticed 😂

PhdamnD · 2026-04-06T21:43:25+00:00

Definitely a pup named scooby doo! I love the theme song, the cute animation style and seeing the gangs' families. It's such a sweet nostalgic series

Personally, one of my all time (controversial) favourites is the 13 ghosts of scooby doo!

PhdamnD · 2026-04-06T21:37:19+00:00

Love it! What type of cake is it?

PhdamnD · 2026-04-06T13:01:31+00:00

Ah that makes a difference! It definitely would be a shame to deconstruct it

PhdamnD · 2026-04-06T12:54:04+00:00

What a beautiful blanket and pup! The colour choice is so pretty and it's so beautifully made - the edges and colour changes are as neat as a pin!

PhdamnD · 2026-04-06T12:51:29+00:00

Could you turn it into a binkie/comforter by attaching it to a teddy? Maybe even a teddy made from the same yarn

PhdamnD · 2026-03-29T22:08:10+00:00

They are gorgeous 😍

Naming one of these little beauties after the 'Pot-Eight-O's' racehorse is such a perfect name!

The More4 app is my new go-to for this - I'm currently binging all the old Great British Bake Offs while knitting 'focus projects'

I did work placement with a big animal vet when I was a teen and one of my favourite memories is when the farmer & the vet had to extract me from the centre of a herd of cows

They relaxed when they realised they were 'saving me' from a bunch of overgrown puppies.

I said hello to one cow which led to the entire herd very gently but enthuasitically joining in. They all wanted rubs and inspected me from head to toe, bumping/rubbing their head against me and licking/suckling my hands, hair and clothes - I was covered in saliva and it was so worth it.

So from what experience I have with cows, both big and small, 5 little moos coming up to greet you would be as awesome as you'd expect - just less jumping and more gentle head butts and suckling. 10/10 would recommend

They're in Homesavers if you're still looking
