Litsy

2025 has been rough. I haven't had the bandwidth to do anything with #LitsyCrafters the 1st half of the year. I didn't have the interest to do anything creative until the end of May. But I'm getting back into creating & I want to share that joy with y'all.
So I'm starting #ShowAndTellTuesday 🌟I want to bring some nostalgia & that excitement you had as a kid when it was Show & Tell day at school & you got to show off something you were proud of⬇️

LitsyEvents

Catsandbooks Each week share anything creative you've made or been working on now or in the past. This can be any type of art, writing, photo, or even food you made. You can post using the image I made above or one of your own. Use the tags #LitsyCrafters & #ShowAndTellTuesday & tag me (@catsandbooks) so we can give you all the gold stars & hype you deserve! 💖🌟 Everyone is welcome! 5h

Finn Family Moomintroll | Tove Jansson

pick

Ahh, this one I definitely remembered! I think I must've been fonder of the beginning than the end (I used to reread books only for as long as they most pleased me, and then wander off) because I remember the beginning very vividly, but it starts fading out around when Thingummy and Bob appear.

I appreciate Moominmamma so much more than I used to.

Comet in Moominland (Farrar Straus Giroux) | Tove Jansson, Jansson

pick

I either never read this one or forgot most of the story, or maybe it's shorter in the comic strip versions? It's been so long. The beginning and ending seemed familiar.

I really love Moominmamma just relentlessly adopting anyone who needs a mother.

willaful She is my ideal Mother. My mom's too. 😁 2w

Little Kangaroo | Guido Van Genechten

I saw this story today on Facebook when I was scrolling through my newsfeed and it inspired today‘s haiku.

Doodlebug the baby kangaroo
holding on to his teddy bear for comfort
because he lost his mama

Welcome Little One | Sandra Magsamen

Proud to share that I have a new reader in the house - Beatrice Lynn arrived on June 5 weighing 7 lbs, 13 oz. Am enamored with her and can‘t wait to introduce her to books! For now though, we‘re focused on basic survival of the newborn phase and I‘m on a reading hiatus 😅 Hoping to at least get through some audiobooks soon!

Reggie Congratulations!!! One time I babysat a 2month old for my friend who needed a date night with her bf. I took Wendy‘s cause I thought I was gonna eat it. 4 hours later that food was still there. My first thought was: keep baby alive. Like I couldn‘t leave him on their king size bed because what if that night was the night he learned to rollover off the bed. What if I stepped out and an owl crashed through the window and snatched him up. lol 👇🏼 1mo

Reggie I could never be a parent. Good luck! She‘s a cutie. 1mo

Backyard Fairies | Phoebe Wahl

Cute book and even cuter illustrations. This book is about a girl trying to find the fairies since she knows they are for real. I love the hidden fairies throughout the book and of course the rhymes as well.
