This potato cat isn't done yet but I cannot resist doing a little nose to nose boop with every single one I make. They are so cute I can't handle it.

LOOK AT THOSE BIG BOBA EYES.

Life can be hard.

Gift a heart to the people you love, and remind them of how cherished they truly are. Remind them that their anxiety is a liar and that they aren't alone.

It's my Demon Slayer wall! I'm obsessed with the series and cannot wait to see the movie next month! I have four cats on that gallery wall... each one represents one of my girls. 🩵 None of them are *of* them, though.

My current #view. 🩵

Can I just say what an #incredible feeling it is to find #JOY in #creating again? I have truly #missed this #feeling.

If you like #anime and if you like #earrings, well then... I have #fun #news.

I just added 14 new styles featuring different anime characters.

Here's a small taste. 😉 You can see the rest on my #website. #Life is too short... wear the fun earrings.

I've taken a break from #creating over the last few days & tonight, I #read book 11 & started book 12. The #husband & I finished the #DemonSlayer #anime series a couple of months ago & I'm #reading the #manga. I'm completely obsessed & can't help myself.

Look at my wall... I don't even like anime.

The #plan last night was to #crochet a bunch of little plushies while sitting comfortably in my chair.

What actually happened, though, was me sitting hunched over on my floor like a #gremlin, balling up a bunch of #yarn so I could replenish my yarn bag. 🤷🏼‍♀️

It is time to rethink water balloon fun!

It is HOT outside and I have TONS of reusable water balloons ready to go!!

How do you use them? It's easy!

1.) Dunk
2.) Squeeze
3.) Toss
4.) Repeat

My website is filled with lots and lots of neat stuff... but no traffic.

Help a girl out. Please?

Because it's #adorable...

I was balling up #yarn to put in a bag I carry with me and my son was hanging out on the floor. Willow pushed her way through his arms and snuggled up right against him.

A #boy and his #cat. They #love each other so much. 🥰

Me: "Leave the yarn alone, Goose."

Goose: *stretches to get comfortable*

Me: 🤦🏼‍♀️

I made a bunch of plushies. I finally listed them. 💙

I can only show a few here, but I listed over 60.

They're really #cute. You should check them out. 😉

They're on the front page.

I finished these four and two others a little while back. I just listed them to the "fiber arts" section of the site.

🩷❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

No matter what colors represent you, you're safe here. I'm just an ally, but you're safe here.

You can't have my yarn, Goose. Please let me make this little baby octopus.

This girl has beautiful eyes and amazing whiskers.

Please don't let me go back to Joann's. I don't care how good the sale is, I don't have any space left. I had to buy a new crate, & I had to grab the two crates I use during show season.

I'll be happy when this gets used.

I. Am. Out. Of. Space.

Today is our (double) #anniversary... 23 years together, 18 years married.

I wrote a #wonderful post about him elsewhere, but I don't have the space here.

He's a #phenomenal human, and I'm beyond #grateful he's mine.

I #love you, sweet boy.

Two kids, just friends, dancing at a school dance. The first dance at a wedding in 2007. An accurate representation of our lives... always silly, never boring. Forever safe.

Just over a year ago, I made a memorial arch with my mom's funeral flowers. It took nearly two years before I was emotionally strong enough to do it, but I did it. It stands about 8 inches tall and lives in our living room now.

I miss her every day.
