I bake things and I make things. Love living in the most diverse city in the country. Love food and drink and art in all its forms. Live with my nerdy chef husband and the best of dogs.

Resist.
I’ve just finished my first scroll through the entire collection, and all I can say is that these incredibly talented humans can fuck ALL the way off.

Just take my money.
320 items.

All ready to preview, all go in stock and live at noon EST on Friday. Some things as low as $10, some things definitely in the higher price range for fine jewelry.

Good job, team!

Latest square for the book blanket. This book is unhinged in all the best ways. LOVED it - anything by @sarahgailey.bsky.social always manages to hit just right for me.

Current household text thread: how do we handle Christmas tree vs. beagle since it’s his first Christmas with us and he’s unlikely to NOT do something destructive?

Reader, I gasped. Multiple times.
Sneak peek at the latest shop update.

Lookit our perfect disaster of a beagle in his perfect sweater!
The many faces of Joseph Edison Beans. He's having opinions about his sweater that his mom bought him.

I told her to get him a finance bro vest. It's more fitting to his demeanor 🤪

This feeling of mild, cautious optimism is really disconcerting.

Proposing a new system by which all us socially anxious folks can have half of our imposter syndrome and self-criticism surgically removed and donated to those who so obviously need it.
The “fuck the law we’re putting Trump on a coin” thing is once again making me marvel at how many people apparently grew up without learning how to be grotesquely embarrassed

One month until pirate weekend at Texas Renaissance Festival with my favorite ladies!

My neighbors absolutely win this year. Got me when I was walking the dogs and came around the corner the other night.

I think @hillarymonahan.bsky.social will appreciate this one.

Think I picked the right shirt for the Nine Inch Nails concert. Right @blueheronfarm.bsky.social ?

I forgot to take a picture because *first week of school*, but these are living in a cute little box on my desk and getting handed out to frazzled coworkers (and one amazing kiddo) willy-nilly. Everyone LOVES them.
I get so excited when folks reach out to me for custom orders! I did a fidget toy selection this weekend with a bunch of hex fidgets in six of my favorite color schemes. I don't actually carry the top left one in the shop but now I think I might have to start!

I’m pretty sure the only thing keeping me relatively stable right now is doing little random things that bring other people joy. The “someone is happy and I did that” dopamine hit is my favorite of the dopamine hits.

I Love mystery boxes from @peculiarityshop.bsky.social! I gift them to myself because I deserve moments of joy in this hellscape we find ourselves living though. My Oberon’s Court mystery box had great timing and is full of happy.

I’ve got a couple weeks off work and the country is dumpster-firing, so I am deep into my craft backlog.

Chainmaille primroses to match the best feral friends a girl could have:

Welp, the @blueheronfarm.bsky.social fosters part of our pack are apparently doing this today.

@abigailmarkov.com makes the loveliest of pens, and I love that this post was in my timeline right before @mostlybree.kitrocha.com (who I think would adore these pens) posted a 3D printed fountain pen holder. I’ve curated a timeline filled with creatives who give me happy feels.
I AM A GOD.

(Pern is one of my favorites. It feels like a small world held in my hand that I created.)

Oh. Damn. Someone go buy this painfully perfect cuff before I convince myself I need to buy myself an end-of-school-year shiny.
New stuff. Lauren, Sara Eileen, and more!

... like the cursed Becky head sticker.

Sometimes, if it’s a very good week, you get 2 different but compatible things from a creator you really enjoy. This week at least has that going for it. @mostlybree.kitrocha.com

“…they don’t need to have 250 pencils. They can have 5.”

⬆️⬆️⬆️⬆️
Spoken by someone who has CLEARLY never been a teacher.

Seriously, though, how do they lose so many pencils?? Where do they go?

Finished Death of the Author by @nnedi.bsky.social. Still feeling all the feels about it. READ IT.

I like the way its square for my book blanket turned out, too.

With Doctor Who, James Bond and the Pope all about to be recast, is there anyone you think would be ideal in all three roles?

The first dog I ever loved and my current perfect little beagle.

I don’t think any picture will ever capture the beauty of our friendship the way that this one does.

This continues to be the best piece of jewelry I have ever bought for myself (don’t even get me started on the amazing stuff my love has given me). I knew I had to have it the second I saw @peculiarityshop.bsky.social post it, and I get compliments every time I wear it. It is perfect.
