It is their 47th Christmas together and they've been through both hardship and bliss, as it often goes. He plans a day of Christmas festivities and it brings her to tears when he surprises her with a Sleighride serenade.

I crashed my mother’s library craft class this morning. I think we were supposed to be felting snowpeople ornaments but they had a variety of cookie cutter shapes for us.

My mother made a planet earth and I made a barnyard-goose-shaped Canada Goose. Not bad for my first try felting!
Small fluffy felted ornament on red string. It is a brown goose with black neck and feet, and white on the face and the butt.

'In the winter garden' - my favourite geometric garden aerial that I've ever done! I don't remember if I shared it here or not yet - it has camellia bushes in the centre and beds of winter heather and hellebore :) the geometric landscapes are always more challenging and I love that! #embroidery

Accidentally made eye contact with a mall kiosk worker and long story short I just arrived home with 18 months' worth of hydrating lotions and sea salt scrubs.

This is Uni. She has ridden to work with her human every day in their bike basket for the last seven years. Has been offered many other forms of transportation, but refuses them all in favor of the Honey Baked Ham Express. 14/10 #SeniorPupSaturday (IG: unihalo)
a senior shiba inu is bundled into a basket on the front of a blue bicycle. the bottom of the basket is wicker, but the top two-thirds is a wide wire mesh. the dog’s fluffy fur pokes through the squares of the wire, giving her back and booty the distinct appearance of a golden honey glazed ham. her front paws stick up over the top edge of the basket, and she’s looking forward toward the next adventure.

In case you were in any doubt about how brilliantly ridiculous this cat is from the thread below, I thought I would post this exclusive video clip as absolute confirmation.

Cover reveal for The Claws of the Ounce! 😁🫀

I’ve been working on this story for over 3.5 years, and I’m excited to finally be releasing it into the world. I hope it finds the people who need it most.

The cover for The Claws of the Ounce by me. It shows several papers lying on a desk. The topmost paper has a picture of a creature resembling a snow leopard with some humanlike features. She is landing after a jump, head turned towards the viewer with a fearful expression. Underneath her is a line of moons in different phases, starting at full but with her front paw crushing them before they reach full again. The book’s title is written above, with red lines going from the word “Claws” to her claws and from the word “Ounce” to her head. Below the top paper, only partly visible, are four other papers with scribbled text and drawings: a fang, mountains, a cockatrice, and a feline paw print.

It may not be remastered, but City of Heroes Homecoming has been given the nod by NCSoft to keep running their server and update content. There's a few new winter badges this year, and several new power sets this year too ;)
