(Mostly) Cute Art, Cat stuff, and Non-Toxic positivity
The world feels incredibly heavy right now, and holding onto hope feels nearly impossible. It’s a fragile thing—like a tiny bird in your hands, precious and delicate, but worth protecting. The stakes are so high, and the future is so terrifyingly uncertain. Guard your hope fiercely.

Spent time yesterday making some analog art—man, my inner perfectionist struggled! Gouache has a mind of its own, but I’m learning to let it do its thing (deep breaths). First time using Himi jelly gouache and the book “Pretty Simple Painting” by Joy LaForme. Wobbly, fun, and a lesson in letting go!

Yesterday we had to say goodbye to our old man. His sister was watching from her fort (it was a home visit). The exact instant the vet finished emptying the 2nd vial, she let out a soft little noise. She knew her brother was gone. Cats never cease to amaze me. 💔 🌈

I’m having a really hard time striking a balance between staying informed and not falling into complete anxiety and despair. But cats help. Hope you can also find some small comfort if you’re in need. Love, Callie 💕🐱

An ugly sentiment in a pretty frame. I’m so sad and angry right now.

History keeps yelling, “Don’t do that!” and we keep replying, “You’re not my mom!” So here we are. Again.

I don’t often post stuff that’s political in tone. And as an agnostic, I don’t usually get involved in matters of religion. But after the response to Bishop Budde’s sermon the other day, I felt compelled to put this together…
