Last night's cast, crew, friends and family preview screening of Armageddon Road at the Vancouver Horror Show was an incredible experience. Eternal gratitude for my two leads, Brian McCaig and @nataliegraceg.bsky.social for their talent and dedication to the film and their craft!

This is the best the internet had to offer. But the reality is bleak.

Yeah, I know. I cancelled it, remember?

I used to! One of the highlights was my trip to NYC when I went to Mood Fabrics and the owner was there. I met that cute dog, too and he knew I was such a fabric fiend that he gave me a tote bag.

Hanging my new dress for 24 hrs to set the bias before I trim and hem.

Wading through my fabric stash and turning potential clothes into actual clothes.

Happy Caturday!

Memade OOTD is a bias skirt in poly charmeuse, paired with an oversized cropped sweater, using a merino, alpaca and silk blend by Rowan yarns. Sofia approves.

When I'm in the bookstore, I know that any anthology edited by you will be superb. I've never been disappointed! (Currently reading Christmas and Other Horrors which I picked up at Powell's in Portland. Because it's summer and it's perfect.)

New little vampire for my monster collection but realize now that I pretty well knit my late father as a stuffie. Hello, Bluesky. Meet Jack-ula!

Steig and Ursula are lab rats at a cosmetic research centre. Today, they’ve escaped and taken out their vengeance on poor Nigel.

Homemade GF peach cobbler for an afternoon pick me up. The topping is actually crisp and delicious, with a white chocolate/black raspberry ice cream. And bonus: all Canadian ingredients!

Matteo wonders if he's getting replaced. I worry that the cats are going to smother me in my sleep.

Awww, baby. So glad he’s getting so much love and care. My tuxies (and I) send love and speedy recovery wishes!
