The spool yarn bowl is here! It comes in 3 colors and is my first ever yarn bowl with a lid! This is a much requested feature from people with curious kitties, and I do want you to know that ours have thoroughly tested it 😂🧶 #knitting #crochet

I restocked our dragon pendants and added 2 new colors! If there is a color you'd love to see, please feel free to request! I think I might do purple next, and I have a deep pink on order I want to try.

Gild all the things, gild all the things, gild all the things, gild all the things,

we love the shinies, all the shiny shinies, don’t you know, that it is so.

(I have a completely normal relationship to Christmas carols, what are you talking about?)

Rock Friends for day 15 of #ArtAdventCalendar! At one point I was out of everything but granite clay, and then I knocked over a box of rocks in the craft room, so I took it as a sign that I should make use of them. Since then, I've probably made about 300 of them.

It has begun! So happy to say that the covers I made for The Chronicles of Nerezia have been nominated for the Best Cover and Cover Artist category. If you are so inclined, I'd be especially pleased to see Book 4, Stories From the Deep, get some love! 🥰
All right, the Indie Ink Awards have opened their voting ! Go shower favourite indies with love 💚

Below are my narrowed-down list of categories I feel well suited for, in my preferred books for them.

I saw some Christmas music discussion go by on my skyline and I didn't chime in at the time because [gestures] but I did want to share some things so: 1/
December is a griefversary time for me but I decided to do an Advent wreath this year and my delight when I realized it was the second Sunday was so real. I called out to my spouse in another room, "I get to light two candles! It's my ADHD visual timer!!" 😂💞

“Really, Mr. Collins…You puzzle me exceedingly.” 11 straight minutes of oily overconfidence, the violence of his affection, chronic Lady Catherine mentionitis, and outright negging.
If you were hoping, "I hope @captainawkward.bsky.social is back in the audio advent calendar to deliver one of most the awkward chapters in the English-language canon," GREAT NEWS. She's here with Chapter XIX (and I run the cleanup on Chapter XX). #CandyCaneJane

I do have a vet appointment for him tomorrow to check a few things he's been having issues with lately. Visit and basic blood work alone will cost over $150, even without any other tests or medications they may do. Any help would be much appreciated ❤️ www.paypal.com/paypalme/the...

It's day 7 of #ArtAdventCalendar! I added some new trinket boxes to the shop this morning, so it seemed like a good time to share one!

This one shimmers from turquoise to purple depending on the light. Each box is built by hand around a metal box, with rhinestones and painted glass cabochons.
