Guess who is the proud owner of not one but TWO Thanksgiving Dinner “Inspired” Oreos? I don’t necessarily need to keep both of them… 😉

Hubby’s been sick with a cold since we got home from California. Tested negative for Covid, Flu A & B. He’s feeling better, but I don’t want to get it so I’ve been sleeping on the couch with the birds. I knew Popcorn cheeps in her sleep, but tonight she’s having a full on conversation with someone.

Nephew loved his Big Ben cake (giant stack of wafer cookies held together and coated with royal icing) and chowed down on it instead of the actual cake. (Please remember I’m *NOT* a baker or cake decorator, professional or otherwise. I do this just to have fun and see how far I can push my skills.)

October 15 is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day. I’ve had 2 or 3 miscarriages. 2 were confirmed at 22 weeks and ~8 weeks gestation, and the third was likely although it was so early I didn’t take a pregnancy test. I don’t feel like talking about it much today, maybe another time.

You never know what you’ll find at the wine store. Four bottles 10-year-old Tobin James Ballistic Zinfandel were forgotten on the bottom shelf and collecting dust when they were saved from their purgatory. The cork from the first bottle broke, but the wine itself tasted great! Cheers! 🍷🍷

I hate Facebook Reels and videos. You just doomscroll through them for HOURS and then you see THIS project and have to spend the next hour making a bunch of them knowing FULL WELL nobody’s gonna buy them. 🤦🏻♀️ (1/2)

In preparation for our big fall season, we’re retiring the Orchid necklaces and bracelets. Earrings will still be available in limited supply. Get yours now at www.skybluedesigns.com/product-cate... They won’t last long and will be retired around the middle to end of the month or when they sell out.

Yesterday I refreshed my booth at @marketstreetcreatives and someone suggested decorating the bottom. It looks like it cuts off at the ankles. I don’t want to use furniture because it’ll get kicked or irritate someone. So it would have to be something flat on the walls. Any suggestions???

While I’ve been recovering I’ve been working on doubling inventory. Again. (I just moved into a store.) Anyway, hubby and I are splitting shows for one day, then I have two holiday drop-off shows. I made this; then ran out of sterling silver headpins and ear wires. More on that later.

Getting to the end of our fresh, homegrown produce. Baby purple and yellow potatoes, golden squash and the chicken dish has our tomatoes and basil. Salad before with our tomatoes and bell peppers not pictured. Sigh. I may experiment with growing beets inside the house this winter. #blueskysupperclub

So I woke up this morning. Yay! Oh my goodness I hurt. My head is tender, but every muscle in my body is screaming from the fall… and hit. I’d say I’m surprised it didn’t do more damage to the rest of me, but my head took the brunt of it. 😑

Well this is a fun evening. After a long weekend show I fell in the shower and hit my head. Mike is here with me. I didn’t loose consciousness and I have full memory of the event, before and after. I don’t feel well but not vomiting. I have ice on it. (1/2)

We got home from a quick trip to Las Vegas to visit family, and these two went to Birdie Camp. Kiwi had a really good baf (two handed for the first time!) then slept on my shoulder for an hour. Popcorn wound up chilling on Kiwi’s cage, then later in her own cage. Now everybirdie is in bed. ⬇️

Attention friends in Las Vegas! This domestic breed king pigeon was accidentally brought to a wildlife rehab facility Saturday 9/20/2025. Are you missing your king pigeon? Please describe his or her unique feature, not shown. This is not a wild bird. Thank you! #lasvegas #kingpigeon #foundpigeon

Yay! This was a happy day for this big guy, and I helped too. Ok, so the robot carried him out to the site with the wildlife expert, but I hiked with them. 🥾 🥾 🌵
I helped a wildlife rehab operation return a Mojave Desert Tortoise to his habitat today!
