You know that feeling after you finish a good book and the edges of the world are a bit fuzzy and you're still half drunk on words and desperately sad you ran out of pages?
I blame @seananmcguire.bsky.social and her gorgeous ADRIFT IN CURRENTS CLEAN AND CLEAR.

Eeeeee! Best Christmas Eve present: discovering there's a new Wayward Children book by @seananmcguire.bsky.social and instantly pre-ordering it! First thing I'm looking forward to in 2025!

We had a pantry disaster recently and I had to discard 60% of our pantry items. Among the purge: most of my baking supplies and apparently all of my myriad chocolate chips.
This is making Christmas baking extra challenging.

Holiday cookie #1:
Brownie Cookie Cups
Took a bit of time and only makes 24 so I'm not sure these will show up again in our holiday rotation.

The holiday baking starts tomorrow. This year's edition: make-it-up as you go based on whatever is in the pantry!
This year's baked presents will be a surprise to me and the recipients.

Currently listening to REVENGE OF THE TIPPING POINT by Malcolm Gladwell. So fascinating.
I'm also in the middle of EDISON'S GHOSTS by Katie Spalding & loving it as well even though the two are polar opposites in terms of tone.
Will I meet my Non-fic reading goal for the year? Jury is still out.

It's lemon harvest time! This year the tree gave us 25 lemons. And that's after I culled 30-40 baby lemons in the spring so the tree wasn't over-taxed.

While I officially blew past my overall reading goal of 175 books this year, I'm 4 books short of my non-fiction reading goal. Let's see if I can squeeze a few more in.

Things getting me through the day at the moment:
-Cotton candy reads (I favor urban fantasy and cozy mystery just now)
-Tea
-Pets to snuggle
-Art. So much art.
-Knowing that even in the worst of times, there still are good people in the world who continue to shine a light.

Hey
You know that one project?
That one you've wanted to write FOREVER except it's scary as hell & maybe you don't feel good
enough or brave enough or strong enough?
Spend 15 min on it today
Keep the dream alive
Even a pot on the back burner needs to occasionally be stirred

There's finally a glimpse of fall in Texas. I'm wearing a hoodie today and contemplating painting more fall scenes like this little gouache piece.

Been focusing all my creative energy on art lately. Mostly paint, but some clay work as well like this tiny fairy frog.

My husband bought me finger guards for chopping veggies. But the first thing I saw was the blue finger covers & I thought he bought me tiny socks for my hedgehog.
I'm oddly disappointed they aren't 🤣.

Making tarts rather than a full pie seemed like such a good idea...until the tarts took over my fridge. So many tarts.

Annnnd the urban fantasy I'm reading just abruptly switched genres to science fiction with zero warning. I have whiplash and a strong urge to throw this book against the wall.

While reading a book, sometimes a line or scene wallops me upside the head and leaves me breathless. It's a kind of magic.
Life goal: to one day weave that magic in my own writing.
