A view from War. I'm still SCA Naked and nesting my tent, but the view from my front door is nice.

We had flash flooding yesterday which was pretty awesome. More rain than we've had since 2018.

Beautiful skies and impromptu lakes all over the desert.

Wifey and I absolutely love #supergirl on the #arrowverse. Episodes have brought us to tears, infuriated us ( #supercorp forever), and inspired us. One of my favorite messages is that you can't change what you've done, but you can choose to change what you do next. It's never too late to change.
Three stills from a scene from the Supergirl TV show showing a blonde woman (Melissa Benoist) wearing a blue and red super suit addressing the camera in front of a 1970s style image of the world. Text on the images reads "Hope that you can remember that you can all be heroes. Hope that when faced with an enemy determined to destroy your spirit, you will fight back and thrive. Hope that you will see again the faces of those you love and perhaps even those you've lost."

Having someone who is playing a photographer and using an actual camera during #ThisManBelongstoMe was brilliant. Love this one of Zelda and Grant. #gaylesbiansolidarity #larp

She's helping. #sewsky
A paper pattern is draped over the just visible back end of a black cat who is sitting on red velvet that has sewing pins in it. She's definitely helping.

Yesterday, my parents celebrated 47 years of marriage. They got married young and dumb and have survived, flourished through hardships, losses, changes, and joys. Gave me some unrealistic expectations that I had to work through but their marriage continues to inspire me.
A photo of two middle aged people, one male and one female, body surfing as a wave rises behind them. Their faces are intense. This is my favorite photo of my parents. It was taken around 2012 when they were in their 50s and bless the zoom on my camera for catching it. They were kids in Southern California in the 60s and 70s and I have many memories growing up with them doing exactly this. They taught me to body surf in the same, cold Pacific. My mother hates this photo but I have hung it in my house whenever I had a chance.

#showmeyourknits My current WIP doesn't have garter so I'm going to show off a favorite. One of the few things I made for myself (and then a second for my wife) and is of my own design. Moss stitch for the border and a garter center. Made with 10 skeins of Malabrigo Rios.
A photo of a pink, knitted blanket. The body of the blanket is garter stitch and the 4" border is moss stitch. The yarn is Malabrigo Rios in English Rose, a variegated pink wool.

Spent the weekend in Alabama seeing some of my in laws. We visited the stunning Lake Guntersville, had some oysters, watched boats, and ate Kilwin's ice cream (which was very good but not #Braums). The weather was damp but not storming - that came later.

Day 2 of #phxfanfusion completed. 12+ hours in a wig and we survived. We were stopped by several people (I could tell we were a hit with the ladies which made me very happy) and even asked for a photo or two which was affirming. I was happy with how we changed Wifey's makeup.
Two women pose in a hotel ballroom. The one on the left is cosplaying as Poison Ivy, wearing an orange prison jumpsuit with an Arkham Asylum patch. She wears a red wig, has green skin, and is shackled. Her expression is tired and annoyed, as appropriate for a prisoner/patient. On the left is a shorter woman wearing a blond wig messily pinned up, glasses, a white lab coat, black trousers, a red shirt, and fabulous black oxfords that are not made for 12-hours of convention walking. An Arkham Asylum staff badge is pinned to her coat and she has a rainbow mini backpack. She is cosplaying Ivy's therapist (and later lover) Dr. Harleen Quinzel. Compared to Ms. Ivy, she seems delighted to be there.

Didn't cosplay the first day of @phoenixfanfusion.bsky.social , but my hot wife did. Picture was the end of the day, but isn't she gorgeous? #poisonivy #cosplay #phxfanfusion

Took a long and meandering pace with this one. I really enjoyed the story. Shifting viewpoints can be annoying but this one did it very well. And the reader, Jessica Threet, was incredible.

#showmeyourknits 🧶 Gifts!

I give away most knits but this one happens to also be a #wip, albeit slow moving atm.

I've made this project half a dozen times, it's my default baby blanket. I let the parents pick their yarn colors. Some alterations to pattern to accommodate the yarn. See Ravelry link.
Baby blanket piece with primary color steel blue (Cascade Ultra Pima Cotton 3860 Storm Blue) and secondary color lavender (Cascade Ultra Pima Cotton 3806 Grape Juice). Pattern is Two Color Thermal Knit Baby Blanket (CH23) by Bev Galeskas. Pattern modifications to use a smoother yarn are noted in Ravelry listing.

#BorderWars 2025 was amazing! The site was nice, the courts were fun, and the Meala Memorial Tournament was full of joy and esprit de corps that she was known for.

Finished "All Systems Red" and I'm truly hooked. Since I had it in hardcopy, I ordered the next from @bookshop-org.bsky.social the same way so it can be my nighttime reading when screens are off.

A black cat (Vivienne) lay atop of white, pleated garment (linen camicia) and pointedly not looking at the camera, lest she realize she was in the way. She's "helping".

Vivienne has adjusted to her collar rather well. One bout of attempted removal and she was bored of it.

Just tried my first dip pen, specifically acquired for writing in my ink samples book without having to fill an entire pen. I love it.

Pen is by Herbin and acquired from @jetpens.bsky.social. Ink details in the alt text.

Across the page is a teal glass dip pen by Herbin with a clear glass top. Both sit atop a gray wood background.

Just finished The Honey Witch written by Sydney J Shields and narrated by Mia Hutchinson Shaw. What an incredible narrative. Nice and long, which I needed, delightfully #queer and #sapphic, featuring high society, cottage coziness, magical creatures and unlikely romances. 🌈 📚

An update on the blanket for #wipwednesday. Colors are lovely, the pending parents chose really well.

Casting on something new in the way to mourning. Feels like the right time. Death is a cycle...as one departs, another emerges. So a baby blanket is just right. #knitting
Two yarn cakes of wound yarn on a neutral background. One is a purple called Grape Juice, the other is a grey-hued blue called Storm Blue. Both colors are true to their name. Yarn is Ultra Pima Cotton by Cascade Yarns, slightly mercerized Pima cotton that makes great baby blankets (and other things, I like it for blankets).
