Meet Princess Buttercup. She’s a perfect little lady, except she’s got horrible allergies … to human dander.

That’s right. My cuddly kitty is allergic to people.

I should be out protesting something. Instead, I’m contemplating my next quilt.

Baby quilt for my newest nephew. The top fins are ruffles and the lower fins and tails are flaps for little hands to explore.

Who else is deep into Dungeon Crawler Carl on Audible? For once, I don’t even want to buy the books because the audio performance is so freaking good. I’m on the 4th book now, and still loving everything about Carl and Princess Donut.

Magnolias are edible! The big white ones taste like ginger and lemon - but you do have to steep the flowers to get the flavor out. The big, overblown, almost-turning-brown ones are best. If you have to fight the bees for them, you’re in the right place.

Brenda misses you, Jen.

Princess Buttercup, the most beautiful cat in the world. (Or at least, in this house.)

Persimmon season makes me happy.

Rage-sewing helps.
