Smol Paul wants a hug
A ridiculous tuxedo cat laying on his back on his favourite sofa, leggies outstretched, arms reaching towards you for a hug that will probably involve claws

Please think of Books & Bewitchment when:
* you're making Most Anticipated lists for 2026
* you're preordering books from your favorite bookstore
* you're adding fun things on Goodreads
* you're planning your Book Club picks for next February
* you're craving boiled pnuts or chocolate mousse
Books and Bewitchment, which is in shades of mauve with touches of purple and blue, is surrounded by a parrot, a hammer, a mountain, a witch hat, a stack of books, and a VHS cassette for reasons that will require a thorough read on your part.

Woof, woof! Doggy-theme continues!
This is Daphne the Dachshund, made from a pattern by Scarlett Royal, #TheLoomMuse . Such a fun knit! This taught me how to knit chest-areas, like for the poddle.
#Dachshund #Dogsky #LoomKnitting #Yarncrafts #Hobbiibabysnuggleprint #Hugs #StuffedToy
Plush toy shaped like a dachshund dog. It is made knitted with a soft, chunky, multicolored yarn with a pastel palette that includes light blue, pink, yellow, and white. The toy has a long body and tail, four short legs, and a face with black eyes and nose. It is wearing a pink ribbon around its neck. The plush toy is placed atop the backrest of a brown sofa, with blue curtains in the background. (Description by Be My Eyes) Stuffed animal shaped like a floppy-eared dog resting its front paws over the back of a brown couch, so it's seen from the front. The fabric is a soft, pastel, speckled knit in colours of yellow, blue, pink, and white. The dog’s ears are long and hang down on either side of its head. Its eyes are made from round, black, knitted disks that give it a gentle, somewhat expressive look. The nose is a small knitted, black bump at the tip of its snout. The overall shape of the toy is rounded and plush, making it look cuddly and friendly. Behind the toy is a background of gathered, velvety blue curtains. (Description by Be My Eyes, slightly altered by Shass.) A soft toy dog, shaped like a dachshund, positioned on the backrest of a brown couch and facing to the left. The plush is made of a fuzzy, multi-colored yarn, mostly in pastel shades including cream, yellow, blue, and pink. It has a pink ribbon or collar around its neck and a small black nose. Its legs are short and stubby, and it has soft, floppy ears. The background is a set of blue-gray curtains. (Description by Be My Eyes.)

Some good news in Sweden - a judge issued an order today stopping a planned wolf hunt, stating that it would "hinder maintaining a healthy conservation status for the wolf population."

It is said that the Inuit languages have a hundred words for snow. This is a myth, but like all arctic languages, hey many. So does Swedish. Here are some:

Snö: Snow
Nysnö: New snow
Pudersnö: Powder
Blötsnö: Slush
Drivsnö: Drift snow
Yrsnö: Windblown snow
Hårdsnö: Packed snow
Kramsnö: Sticky snow

Look, if you have a question about one of my books before buying it, YOU CAN ASK ME. I just sit here--and on Insta and Threads. I check my replies. I'm happy to help! Don't ask the stupid AI that steals my life's work and vomits out garbage. I will tell you whatever you want to know!!

Sundays are for snoozing.
#Catsky #CatsOfBluesky #Calicosky #Snooze #SundaySnoozeday #Precious
A fluffy long-haired calico cat with a bushy tail, mostly white body, large black and orange patches, and a black spot over one eye is curled up and sleeping on a soft beige mat on a windowsill. The cat’s front paws are tucked in, and its head is gently turned to the side as it rests peacefully. The cat is the main focus, with an outdoor patio and garden visible through the window in the background. (Description by Be My Eyes)

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue and Green are sitting at a little bonfire, gazing restfully into the flickering flames. Blue: Do you ever think of the ways your life could've gone differently? Green: No. Blue: Like if you could start over with everything that you know now? Green: Nope. The odds of finding you again in the right place at the right time are way too low. Blue: You'd rather have me than a new chance? Green: Having you is the best possible life.

I did stuff again!
Say hi to Smulan Kruimeltje Vanilla Poedelein Longlegs the poddle*! (All poddles have long and fancy names.)
Poddles eat nightmares for midnight snack. And they love hugs.
#Knittingsky #Amigurumisky #Loomknittingsky #Poodle #Amigurumi #Softies #Hugs #Yarncrafts #Hobbiisteviedoodle
Seen from the front, a white, stuffed dog resembling an evenly trimmed poodle-puppy but with veeery long legs is sort of crouching on a brown couch. Its legs are approximately at least 1/3 longer than normal puppies would have. The poodle, or poddle, has a curly knitted coat, floppy ears, a round black knitted nose and black, oval amigurumi-eyes. A red velvet ribbon has been tied around its neck as a collar. In this picture, the white poodle, or poddle, is lying on its belly on the couch, seen from the side and with its long legs splayed out Bambi-On-Ice-style. You can now see that it also has a perky tail and that it's adorable no matter what direction you're viewing it from.

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue is sitting next to Green, who has curled up into a tight ball, looking miserable. Green: Would you still love me if I never got better? Blue hesitates a moment before answering. Blue: What a silly thing to ask. Joining Green on the floor, Blue wraps himself around Green, who doesn't seem as sad anymore. Blue: I would love you even if you got worse.
