These cats! Yvie and Minnie make life so much better.
A black cat with green eyes looks out from a purple cardboard doorway. A white and grey cat in close up, staring deeply into the camera. Yvie, a fluffy black cat, and Minnie, a fluffy white and grey cat, sit next to one another.

I’ve been working on my theatre marquee.

I’m dreaming my own specific dream and slowly crafting it into existence! It’s a great way to stay sane when things feel overwhelming.

A textile sign with embroidery reads The Old Stump. There is a soft vine around the outside and the colour scheme is greens and browns.

It's World Puppetry Day! Here is my tiny Bear marionette (6 inches tall when standing upright), meeting an even tinier butterfly puppet (under an inch square). Work in progress.
Puppetry is intimate, tactile magic. An antidote to fractured, distracted, screen-heavy living. It gives me hope.
A small bear marionette sits beneath a tree trunk in a gentle wash of yellow and green light. The bear looks toward a monarch butterfly hovering in the air, seemingly curious.

Morning magic.

Rainbow light and umbrella plant shadows on the wall. And the window film making them.
Rainbow light and umbrella plant shadows on a wall. Light coming through patterned window film and catching the pattern in many small colourful shards.

Redberries (aka partridgeberries) in the sunbeam. Slowly needlefelting my way toward a full harvest!

Throwing a few cats into the sky to see what happens. This is Minnie and Yvie (Oddly)
Two cats touching noses together. A white and grey cat curled up for a contented cat nap. A black cat with green eyes stretches a paw to the camera.
