Love it when a Kickstarter I backed ages ago and forgot about comes through, makes for a nice surprise.

I shall now be repping for the Dual Spires Cinnamon Festival, and I also now have an excellent reference for the many names of Burton Guster.
A tote bag showing the many names bestowed upon Burton “Gus” Guster during the run of the show Psych. The text is neon green, and the bag itself is black. A t-shirt with the logo from the Dual Spires Cinnamon Festival (from the show Psych). The logo features stylized brown and white mountains and green trees in a triangle-shaped crest outlined in yellow, with “Dual Spires - Est. 1918” in white letters. Just below the crest the words “Cinnamon Festival” are written in white on a brown stripe. The t-shirt itself is black.

Good morning, HaliSky!
Sunrise over a harbour. The sky is pale blue, and the clouds are sheds of orange, pink, and dark lavender.

Okay, kind of pleased with this one. (*buffs her nails on her bathrobe lapel*)

More than a little irked by that one error, which is down to a misread clue, but otherwise - well-pleased at my modest improvement. 😁

OOK!
A painting of The Librarian from the Discworld books. He is sitting on his desk amidst the controlled chaos of the Unseen University Library, surrounded by shelves, books, bananas, and a bathrobe. He is clearly in his happy place.

Stunner of a sunrise this morning, HaliSky.
Sunrise looking over a harbour. The sky is a mix of brilliant gold and orange, with a little bit of gray cloud and blue sky here and there; the colours are reflected in the water below.

If you see this, post a picture from whatever device you are using with no explanation.
A book nook model; this one is of a miniature bookstore. It contains lots of well-stuffed shelves and books scattered about, as well as a couple of tiny plants. The centrepiece is a cozy-looking red wingback chair, next to a side table with a tiny mug of tea. A little overhead light makes it look warm and inviting!

Gotta say, I'm a little insulted this wasn't considered an acceptable word today.
Today's Spelling Bee puzzle, featuring the letter O in the center, with additional letters H, I, N, A, L, and G. Someone has tried to convince the puzzle gods that "Haligonian" is an acceptable word, to no avail.

If you see this, post something monochromatic.
A fog-shrouded harbour early in the morning. A bright spot of light has broken through the mist and is reflecting off the water. A row of streetlights and a couple of buildings are silhouetted against the fog.

Pour one out for Nick Rivers.
A poster for the movie Top Secret! It shows Val Kilmer on a pleasant grassy meadow, dancing like Elvis, surrounded by a shower of black and white cows wearing rubber boots.

It is the gift that keeps on giving; every time I look at it I see something new!

The picture in question, for reference:
The Vancouver 2010 Olympic Men's Hockey gold medal game - just after Sidney Crosby scored the winning goal. The lower third of the picture is the ice surface; the rest of the picture is a sea of red and white hockey sweaters.

As promised!
A sheet cake decorated with white frosting and lilac details. The cake is sitting on a dark brown buffet chest. There is a “Happy Birthday” banner behind it.

Team Inkcap - appropriate, for a fan of fountain pens. 😁
A trio of shaggy inkcap toadstools. The stems are long, white, and slender. The caps are roughly cone-shaped with rounded tips; they are in fact kind of shaggy, and look like they are covered in white feathers.

You can! This is prior to adding the fringe; with the fringe, probably about 16 feet long.
A woman standing in front of some very full bookcases, proudly wearing her freshly completed Doctor Who-style scarf. The scarf is draped around her shoulders, and is long enough to reach the floor on both sides. It is striped in purple, tan, brown, golden yellow, cherry red, green, and denim blue.

A bit of #HaliSky Christmas cheer - tree trimming is finally done!
A lavishly trimmed Christmas tree, standing in front of some floor-to-ceiling windows. The ornaments are of all shapes, sizes, and colours, and it is hard to see how any more could be added. The tree is topped with an angel wearing a red velvet gown with a gold underskirt.

Progress is finally being made. 🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄
A Christmas tree standing in front of some floor-to-ceiling windows. It is strung with red, green, and white lights. Since the last time we saw this tree, someone has added an angel to the top and a selection of different ornaments to the branches. There is probably lots of work still to be done, though!

Rejoice, HaliSky, for I have finally managed to get the tree up and the lights on it. Setting a blistering decorating pace this year, me. 🤪
A partially decorated Christmas tree standing in a corner with large floor-to-ceiling windows. There are large paper stars and snowflakes hanging in the windows. There is a large white pillar to the left of the tree that has been wrapped in red and green ribbon to look like a candy cane. The tree has red, green, and white lights on, but no decorations and no topper. Clearly there is much yet to be done.

Garter stitch as it happens, not stockinette - but your point definitely stands! 3 1/2 months, start to finish. Pretty pleased with the results though. 😁

Post a pic YOU took (no description) to bring some zen to the timeline.
Sunrise over Halifax Harbour. The sun is just peeping over the horizon, and the sky and clouds are a mix of brilliant blazing oranges and yellows. The colours are reflected in the water. Some buildings are visible in backlit silhouette.

So, for those of you that might enjoy a tidbit of cheery news - I cast off the last stitch on my Doctor Who-inspired scarf tonight. Lots of finishing work left, but the big part is done. Not too shabby, for my first knitting project! #KnitSky #HaliSky

Just going to leave this here...
The cover of Terry Pratchett's book Hogfather. It shows Death as the Hogfather, driving a colourful sleigh loaded with toys, being pulled by boars.
