1. A sweet iced mocha—especially on a warm afternoon, *especially* if I'm sipping it on my porch and either enjoying the weather, or on call with one of my friends, having a "long-distance coffee date."

This is one of the rare exceptions to my complaints about the FL humidity. Agreed! Sometimes a brief summer shower is just lovely.

Ooh, saving this for later reading, thank you!

My biggest current WIP is a feather-stitch blanket. Almost two feet in, I'm about a third of the way through! It's a real yarn-eater, but with all of the dipping back and forth, those puffy stitches make it very cushy! (As you can see in the photo where Maggie has claimed it as a cat bed.)

That seems like a good start, right?

What about you, friends? If you have Stars and Wishes of your own, I'd love to hear them! ✨

You’re right! I forgot to write it, but I was drinking it! 😁 Out of a huge mug, which is my favorite way to do it.

That sounds. So fun. The gaming gods are alarmingly fickle (she says quietly, because we have a one-shot scheduled tonight), but that sounds like an ending worth waiting for! Glad y’all didn’t have to delay too long and that it was fun for both your players and for you. :) Congrats again!

Aaa, congratulations! How did it go?? I'm in two consistent long-term campaigns at the moment, and I just know I'm going to be Emotionally Compromised™ whenever they reach their ends.

Oh, this looks incredibly cool! I have always loved Fey Nonsense, and have recently been dipping back into fey backgrounds and ancestries for my PCs. With all of the overlap between traditional abilities/lore for faeries and demons, this seems like a natural (and potentially terrifying) combo.

Likewise, I am not really used to BSky yet, but won't get used to it without practice! Such conundrum, very struggle!

(I'll work on it, I promise.)
