The Top of WV did a beautiful job putting together a great art show and I'm really pleased to have one of my favorite photographs in it. It's my night heron, the picture I based my brother's holiday present painting on.

There's something lovely about starting the market year at a psychic fair. Good atmosphere, great people. I'm very lucky to be able to be part of it twice a year. T'was a good day but now I'm going to slather my hip and knee with salve and go to bed.

First market of 2026 getting started. 💜 I think the new runners are a great addition.

I'm getting more and more excited for my first market of the year. Finishing up an herbal eczema salve and a frankincense tallow whip, packing up my new art, and ironing my new table runner signs. Busy me is a happy me! #smallbusiness #handmade #psychicfair #market #weirton

New thing. Not sure if it'll end up i in the shop or be a local pickup only thing. I can't imagine shipping it. But, maybe. Anyway. Altar piece or object of art... haven't got its name just yet. Found raccoon skull and turkey feathers. Preserved moss. Wire. Soba wood rose and hellebore.

I started a local critique group - our first meeting was yesterday evening. I'll share more about it at the end of this post. The important part for me is that it made me realize how much I miss talking about and writing about and thinking about writing. For the first time in a long time, I came home, opened up my computer and wrote words.

Hey Bluesky peeps, could you help spread the word?
Right now my horror novel BEDFELLOW is on sale for $1.99 on Kindle and Bookshop. I have no idea how long the sale will last.

I got some rattlesnake vertebra in the mail today... they're going to be jewelry of some kind. I think I'll call this part of the line the "tread on me, daddy" line😆

Working on my events calendar. My first one is coming up faster than I expected! I need to update my website calendar once I remember to do it when I have the time to 😆. Every year, my goal is to widen my travel circle. Last year I succeeded. Hoping to do so again this year.

You can't go wrong with jaw work when there's so much that needs said in the world. But seriously. Keeping busy. Mink jaw, copper wire, and faceted fluorite. #crowshollow #wearableart

This one is less making things and more putting things together but I put the crow charms on the tea balls as I've sold out again💜

My options today are sit in my house and rot on my couch or make stuff. I'm picking make stuff because I fear if I rot in my anger and disappointment today, I'll never dig out. I've got some bones and shadowboxes and lanterns to play with.

It's disheartening to see how many people are just willing to believe the spin over their own eyes, again and again. I don't understand how they can. I think I'm going to limit my nonbluesky social media for the next three years or so. wtaf.

Therapy is hard. I know it's supposed to be, but ugh. Now to the vampires office! Gotta get the pokes to make sure my meds are working and not trying to kill me, lol. #joysofchronicillness #ra #metalhealth

Leaving the house for work is dumb. How am I supposed to be away from this face for hours?

I might end up being a ridiculous cat mom. First mani pedi in the books, and a rechargeable flipping fish reward 😆

Adopted a new baby from my local shelter. I did not name her but I think I'm keeping it. Meet Thursday!
I know pets shouldn't really be presents but... she's my holiday present this year (technically I got cat litter and an anyway filed application) 💜

I really should remember to film my dogs more. Bruce was outside, found a great stick in the snow. Picked it up, shook his head, the stick flew out of his mouth, into the air, over him, and landed on his butt. Immediately ran on to the porch like the stick was chasing him. #pibble
