Crafter, artist, poet. Former midwesterner, still learning the ebb and flow of PNW life.
Things seen on a early morning walk in the foggy autumn. Lots of webby spider activities, which is a bit odd, given that it was a chilly 35° at the time.

Not feeling the greatest today, but still doing what I can to try to get my costume done for the fast approaching Eugene Downtown Halloween.

The autumn rains have finally arrived. Also, I maybe have too many things sitting on the windowsill. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Our tarantula turned two, so we had a tiny birthday party! Anansi is a grammastola pulchra, and their species is from Brazil, so we made beijinho de coco, as well as my fav chocolate cake. I don't really think Anansi cared about any of this, as they are a tarantula, but it's fun to celebrate anyway.

I dunno what y'all do/did while waiting to see if an atmospheric river was going to dump a bunch of unseasonal rain on you...but I made a cloud raining stars thingy. 🤷‍♀️🌈🌧

The end of an unseasonably cool and oddly overcast summer Sunday.

My anxiety may be at a constant all time high, but the plants are doing reasonably well.

My asthma won't allow me to attend a protest today, but I can damn well make resistance tacos instead. #nokings #nokingsday

Spending my afternoon hiding from the grass pollen, and starting my Pride sweater. 🖤🧶🏳️‍🌈
