Escape from Alcatraz (2025)
A beagle butt can be seen poking out of a hand-dug hole by said butt owner. The hole leads under a wooden fence at the property line. To the left of the beagle butt is a pile of chopped wood logs and to the right is a large ceramic planter, which blocks a small cut out in the fence. Basically the same as the previous picture, sans beagle butt.

Our tomatoes suck but our fig trees are overproducing. I picked over 6 pounds today alone and made fig jam.
About 7 pints of canned fig jam

I made a similar sweater for it!
Jenny Kiefer wears a hand knit sweater. It is green and white, based on the Penguin Classics design. At the top is a diamond that says "Quirk Books". In a white bar at the center says "Crafting for Sinners" and "Jenny Kiefer". The Quirk logo is at the bottom.

My two spooky book tattoos
A tattoo for This Wretched Valley: a ribcage, spine, and pelvic part of a skeleton with poisonous plants inside the bones. A tattoo for Crafting for Sinners. A pair of pink knitting needles with a small bit of knitting with a purple and blue stripe. One of the needles impales an eyeball, which has an optic nerve attached

Obsessed with the aesthetics of this online order
An online order consisting of Freakslaw by Jane Flett, an orange hair clip that says "feral" in teal rhinestones, and a glittery sticker that says "Fueled by Spite"

Screenshot from an interview. Q: So, what is Nick Cutter currently reading and what should people be reading? A: I just finished reading and writing a blurb for Crafting for Sinners. It's Jenny Kiefer's follow up to This Wretched Valley. I really enjoyed it, and I think it's going to do well.

I regret not adopting this thing at the thrift store today
A peculiar statue about 12 inches long depicting a creature that's best described as a cross between a tadpole and a puppy. It is light brown with a white belly, laying on its back. It's face is a basic dog with a gill on its chin and gills for floppy dog ears. The paws are webbed and duck like, but have black nails like a dog. The tail resembles that of a tadpole. Google Reverse image search did not provide any answers as to its origins or why I left him behind.
