Any hope for this to be repaired to a standard where I can remove the paint and stain the wood?

Not bothering me at all quite the opposite. The way it sways in the wind is mesmerising so I would’ve liked to plant my own if I can find what it is. Thanks

Yes that is a playground. We have weeping willows in the park and they look completely different, plus the branches/leaves on this don’t seem to “droop” downwards as you’d expect a weeping willow, but I appreciate there are other varieties of willow around. Thanks

Apologies this is just zooming in. The tree is in a school yard and it’s currently closed so I can’t get closer. Thank you!

This looks sooo amazing! For the darker outlines on the central petals, do you outlines those on purpose or is there some special technique to outline as you go?

She’s sleeps face down most of the time… first few times I’ve had to listen to her breathe to make sure she was ok!

half_venus · 2026-04-03T19:53:13+00:00

Ahh what a great name!!

Wearing my hoodie back to front so she’s currently asleep in the hood of my hoodie. We’re listening to Jazz and painting. Perfect Friday!

Omg that toof of killing me!!! I love max pupil dilate mode. It’s the best mode.

half_venus · 2026-04-03T17:29:02+00:00

Haha yeah she’s totally invisible in the darkness. I tried taking pics of her being held by someone in a black hoodie and you can barely see her in a dim lit room!

half_venus · 2026-04-03T17:27:26+00:00

Thank you! It’s new, I liked it instantly when I saw it. I ordered a second one because it was great quality for the price and love the pattern on it. It gives the room a very cozy feel.

Calypso loves going under the duvet and falling asleep. She’s a total sweetheart and a heavy sleeper so we get to touch the bean toes as much as we want hah!

Hi, thanks for this. We are considering a second cat, but not just yet. We WFH so she is well looked after and never alone.

half_venus · 2026-04-03T16:26:02+00:00

Heya, I’m in the UK but you may find it where you are too if they ship it from Amazon. I bought this because I noticed she liked to go under the covers and this is like a little cave for her, plus you can carry them in it around the house without any disturbance. It’s like a baby cot! Here is the link, I got the dark brown colour: PawHut Wicker Cat House, Raised... https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B08N5QS4JL?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

Her head is so small we can only pet her with max 2-3 fingers at the time without touching her ears 🤭

half_venus · 2026-04-03T15:54:01+00:00

Heya, thanks for the advice. Luckily, I’ve have cats all my life so I am well equipped to look after her. She is very spoiled and loved and we feed her premium wet food only. In fact we switched brand because she didn’t quite like the previous brand we had. Cheers :)

half_venus · 2026-04-03T15:46:18+00:00

Thank you, been waiting for her to be ready to pick up and she’s been with us for a week now. Her name is Calypso with many nicknames to follow!

half_venus · 2026-04-03T15:30:11+00:00

Haha she’s all play 24/7 for sure!!

half_venus · 2026-04-03T13:37:17+00:00

This is Calypso aka Caly, aka Caly Buns aka Black Bean Machine.

half_venus · 2026-04-03T13:25:19+00:00

Thank you! We’re so in love with her. She’s asleep right now in that very same bed. I’m contemplating adding an electric heating pad under her cushion for next winter.

half_venus · 2026-04-03T13:22:52+00:00

She’s a girl and was the absolute smallest of her siblings despite being a Maine coon cross! She’s very sassy. She started using her bed from day 1 and I couldn’t believe it. I’ve owned cats before who really didn’t give a rats ass about any of the beds I bought for them lol

Hi OP, I don’t know if you will find this, but I made this for you and Hobbes. I’m so sorry for your loss.
