Had a great time this weekend at the annual glass warehouse sales! It's always a highlight of the year for me, getting to engage with my hobby, meet new people, and have adventures.

We visited Youghiogheny Glass Friday, Wissmach Glass Saturday, and the Berkeley Springs WV Apple Butter Fest Sunday.
Various sizes and colors of glass sheets lean in wooden cubbies. Large pallet-like wooden bins of glass sheets sit on a concrete floor in a metal warehouse building. Glass enthusiasts mill about between the bins. Sitting in a league covered grass yard in front of a large colonial style brick building, a large red apple shaped sign reads "The Apple Butter Festival October". A view of a street. To the left a stone retaining wall is covered in moss and a large tree towers. The sidewalk is littered with fallen leaves. To the right signs stand along the edge of the street, and a dark car is parallel parked. Green trees and the gray sky make up the background.

So glad she's doing as well as can be expected under the circumstances.

We got a robot vacuum and the cat is HIGHLY suspicious of it

I cannot take this story seriously at all. I apologize to all The Stand stans.
The Kombucha Girl meme format. A white woman with blonde hair looks skeptical and disgusting next to the text "Randall Flagg was super evil". Below, the same white woman now looks thoughtful and intrigued next to the text "He had a lot of anti-cop propaganda"

Did I totally forget I had a BlueSky? Maybe!

Here's an update on my Marigolds!
A top down view of a teal pot holding dark dirt and a 12 inch tall plant with narrow leaves and pompom like orange and yellow flowers. The pot is sitting on a black driveway in front of cream colored siding.

I got a dress from a Lolita brand that is not Lolita at all, and I'm going to make John a matching tunic! Kind of do a white and gold sun priest thing.

I also want to add accessories to my fall witch outfit, it could have more layers and be fancier!

Here's the dress I got!

Just wanted to share my latest stained glass work over here! I learned so much working on this one and I'm so proud of how it came together! I hope you guys love it as much as I do.

Wavy amber and yellow light from sun going through glass is displayed on a white counter. Amber and clear textured flat glass hexagons are held together by copper metal lines to make a stained glass honey comb sitting on a white counter. A gold chain with a bee charm hangs from the bottom. Amber and clear textured flat glass hexagons are held together by copper metal lines to make a stained glass honey comb.

Had a great day at the fish zoo today! I don't think I've ever been to the Baltimore Aquarium before. My favorites were the baby horseshoe crabs and the giant rays. Here's a photo round up! @nationalaquarium.bsky.social

BlueSky would never ban me for posting the rolls I was so proud of.

I really struggle with bread so I'm so thrilled I finally got an edible product out of my sourdough starter! They could have been Smoother. But they were soft and airy and delicious, which is more important.

A roll sliced in half, showing a tan and regular interior. The roll is on a white counter. 8 more rolls sit out of focus in the background amongst various white and green kitchen utensils. 9 golden brown but lumpy rolls are in a square glass pan on a black metal gas cooktop.

MYSTERIOUS. What could have caused this? Inflation? Bidenomics?
An image of a Twitter post from Kathy Jones. The Image reads: Corporate profits rose to a new all time high in Q4 of 2023. Under the post a graph shows a light blue line ascending left to right on a black background. Under the chart a response tweet reads: Just in case you were confused about why the price of everything keeps going up and concluded it was inflation

Long time no post! Here's a stained glass update. I made these to hide at Magfest for MagNSeek and ended up hiding about 20! I hope everyone who found one loved it.

I'm hoping to start a new stained glass project this week! I'm excited~
A stained glass music note and stained glass heart sit on top of white paper squares on a wooden table. The music note has a staff and flag that are dark blue with a bottom that is a domed lighter aqua and the heart is half red, half clear glass with black streaks in the style of a video game health pickup. Both have silver loops on top.

I'm going to do a once-a-week year long solo journal game version of "The Quiet Year"! I got a dedicated deck of cards and journal for it. I'm excited to get started.

My brain when I try to sleep at night:
A screenshot from Duolingo that reads "Your collections: Mistakes" on a dark navy background. A bubble indicates 6 mistakes have been collected so far.

Not even remotely mad at this hilarious fact checking glitch

It was just a water color weekend here! These bubbles are phenomenally fun to paint. It's not fine art, but man does it make me happy. Look at the rainbow of colors! They're just so cheerful.

Look at me actually finishing art! I was in the mood for some watercolor back in October, so I did a very Halloween piece. I'm pretty proud of how it came out, even if it got done a few days after the holiday.
A water color painting of a dark brown lantern with glowing yellow candlelight and an orange pumpkin sitting on a concrete stair rail in front of brick. In the background a shop displays indistinct wares and pumpkins in a dark street front bay window. Leaves litter the sidewalk, and far away an orange tree is lit by the moon.

Getting on top of my Christmas Gifts! Everyone in my family is getting these little stained glass star ornaments. I'm hoping to start a tradition of doing a new stained glass ornament every year.

We thought having a fire at the end of the driveway would attract trick or treaters, but instead it attracted a large number of adult neighbors who introduced themselves and chatted. I learned a lot about the neighborhood going ons and we got invited to the group chat. It was pretty wholesome.

I was a pandemic sourdough person but I wasn't super serious about it (See: Getting into stained glass at the same time). But I think tonight I finally pulled off my first successful sourdough loaf! There's room for improvement for sure, but I'm pretty pleased with it. It's tasty.
