I carved a @batsyhead.bsky.social pumpkin this year!

Totally! You're welcome to borrow mine but I think it might be too big and near floor-length on you (unless that's what you're going for!) lolol

I cannot work in these conditions!!!!!!
Baz, a medium-haired tuxedo tabby cat, lounges across Cait's large, open, spiral-bound accounting textbook on a table. Baz's ears are back (aka in ear-plane mode) and his paw is dangling off the edge of the textbook/table.

EWW! Our building is currently being overrun by them. This was inside one of our back doors yesterday! 🤢
The base of an industrial-style door with black and yellow striped caution tape on the threshold and a black mat on the floor. There is a few inches of gap between the threshold and the mat, and it's littered with dozens of dead boxelder bugs.

It's happening, y'all!
A selfie of Cait, a fat white woman with shoulder-length dark hair and large burgundy glasses, smiles at the camera in a dark grey tee shirt with little white ghosts on it holding orange jack-o'-lanterns.

Beauty morning for a walk down to Nuestra!
A clear plastic cup on a picnic table in front of a cafe. In the cup is a mixed berry matcha, with a bright red berry sauce on the bottom. There's a round white sticker on the cup with the name of the coffee shop (Nuestra).

It's not at all a disturbance (he's currently taken to grooming himself in my face)

Cromdale was feeling left out and had to have a fire too!

Apparently there was a lithium battery on fire down there? The fire department has been here for more than an hour.
The view from a balcony overlooking a treed ravine with smoke rising out of it. The sky is blue, there are high rises in the background, and a fire truck parked on the roadway in the foreground.

Here's a photo of said sliding door vent insert for our portable AC!
A dusty pinky-purple colored piece of rigid foam insulation that has black taped edges sits in the track of a sliding glass door. In the bottom right foreground there's a portable AC unit with the hose going through a hole in the insulation.

I bought another @premeemohamed.com book from @magpiebooks.bsky.social yesterday while participating in the Indie Bookstore Extravaganza!

I was hoping for a copy of We Speak Through the Mountain because I loved The Annual Migration of Clouds so much, but they (sadly, for me) were out of stock!
A flat lay of a tote bag and books on a black wooden table. The tote bag is natural colored and embroidered with "See how it shines" (Hozier lyrics) in black and pastel rainbow colored stars all around it. Towards the bottom is an Edmonton themed coloring book, in the middle is a novel called The Butcher of the Forest by Premee Mohamed, and at the top is a little Edmonton Indie Bookstore Extravaganza booklet.

I've been back on a Bilmuri kick (I don't know what genre this album would be classified as, there are sax solos but also chuggy guitar and fiddle solos? but every song goes so hard)

Tonight was the perfect night for BIG SOUP
A top-down view of a tabletop at a hot pot restaurant. There are two hot pots on the right, and various other small plates and bowls on the table, all empty except for some residual sauce!

An on-sale 369mL can of tomato paste yielded me 17 tomato paste anal beads for the freezer
A Ziploc bag filled with 17 tablespoons of tomato paste, separated by being twisted up in some plastic wrap that ends up looking like strings of anal beads.

Cross-stitched Christmas ornaments for a friend!
Two square cross-stitched Christmas ornaments. They are both white ballerina bunnies with pink tutus. The top left has a large red letter A behind it and the bottom right has a large red letter E behind it. There's pink blanket stitching around the edges.

We spent $50 to buy this giant sheet pan with a rack today.

Andy told me that the instructions said DO NOT SOAK.

Guess what I did?

I made these ornaments for a friend using a pattern from a Christmas cross stitch book from 1994! I hope she finds them cute-tacky not ugly-tacky. 😅
Two square cross-stitched ornaments stitched on white cloth. They both have ballerina bunnies in pink tutus dancing in front of the capital letters A and E, respectively. The letters are red. The ornaments have blanket stitching around the edge in hot pink, and have loops attached at the top with pink faceted beads.

Vanillekipferl! Except they're "full moons" because my dough was too crumbly to form the crescents.

They will be dusted in vanilla sugar when they're cooled!

I'm honestly surprised it took this long...

For #ArtAdventCalendar today, I present one of my favorite photos I've ever taken: the Cowichan Bay Fishermen's Wharf, October 2015.
The view of a fishermen's wharf with many boats on very still waters. The sky is somewhat hazy, and there's a small mountain in the background.

Went hunting for some photos from my teenage photography days for #ArtAdventCalendar! These are circa 2008-2010.
An ~artsy~ photo of snow/ice along the top of a jagged and weathered fence board. Ice on large red berries and leaves.

A contribution to #ArtAdventCalendar: a painting I did last year!
A painting of evergreen trees and underbrush in the snow, with pale yellow and blue sky meant to emulate morning light.

New this year are bead bows and pompom Santas with little toques!
Cait holds two bead bows laid flat in her hand. The left one is made of larger faceted beads in white, red, and chartreuse, and the right one is all smaller silver beads. Cait holds a small green toque with a pompom on top in the palm of her hand. There is craft mess in the background on the table. Cait holds up a gnome-ish looking Santa ornament made from a white pompom, wearing a red toque and has a wooden bead for a nose. Cait holds a bead bow made of small glass beads in red, dark green, and white.
