🎵And I’m writing a novel, because it’s never been done before. 🎵
Sort of late to celebrate this, but here’s my contributor copy of The Skull & Laurel #4, which includes my weird alien world story, Prostheses.

Perhaps the most aesthetic piece of hummus toast I have ever made.

Got a story coming out next week! Oh, and this, too! Come see me read on Story Hour (@storyhour.bsky.social) Wednesday, July 30th. I promise it’ll be fun AND weird. 😁

An unexpectedly blonde/albino(??) watermelon.

Obviously the new chair was selected for the comfort of the cat.

*Obviously.*

Met a ladybug who was 99% spots.

My writer buddy knows that daydreaming is an important part of the creative process.

Finished this cross stitch project just the other day after a year and a half of work. Now, on to the next!

Anyone going to be at Worldcon tomorrow? Have some time around 7pm GMT(noon pacific time)?

Join me for an online table talk and we’ll chat about our favorite action scifi westerns, or foreign horror musicals, or anything else you like.
See you there!

Made some impromptu meringues because I had all the ingredients and a freezer bag to use in place of a piping bag.

Slightly blurry, but I couldn’t get my phone to focus on this line of baby ladybugs (babybugs?) all hanging out on the same blade of grass.

It feels more true with the mug! 😆

Made so much progress on yellow kitten that I ran out of thread.

Yellow kitten is coming along nicely.

Currently experiencing technical difficulties.

Yellow kitten is starting to take shape.

Getting started on a new project—totally not as a way to procrastinate on writing, I swear!

Made a cross stitch of my MIL’s Pom for her for Christmas.

I had to say goodbye to the world’s best princess cat yesterday. Zelda was with me all of her 17 years, or essentially half my life—longer than I’ve known anyone else except family. I still expect to find her in her couch spot or following me around the kitchen for a snack.

I’ll miss you, Zelda.

Forest fun with frosty fungi and some snowberries.

A cat princess is entitled to nap wherever and whenever she wants, regardless of the human’s foolish ideas of comfort or practicality.

Another lovely day in Spain, although one of the last before heading home. It’ll be nice to see family again, but I’ll miss my workshop buddies!

Just another day in a castle in Spain.

Oh hey, I’m in a castle in Spain now! Didn’t get pictures from the outside, but I did get the (blurry) view. 😂
