My sister's Halloween party theme is AI this year. I had a cloud costume all planned out, but can't travel yet. Instead I'll share my inspo here.😅 A white Marie Antoinette wig, a cloud body made w pillow stuffing & hidden lights inside, and white tights.

Just finished this book. It's about the life of Jane Franklin, Ben Franklin's sister. I found it well-researched & compelling. So many women get overlooked when telling the story of our country. #booksky

I'm new to stitching. But finished working on a Xmas gift for my sis. All cacti on the kitchen towels are found in a SoCal desert: barrel cactus, cholla cactus, prickly pear, and ocotillo (the spiny shrub). #embroidery

This goofball, Peanut, was a no-show for his dinner. He was last seen at noon. My son went around w the treats at 6:30p, calling him. Not a peep. Finally at 9:30p, he decided to come out. Pheeew! He had us worried for a minute.😮‍💨

Just finished this bird tracks project. 🐦‍⬛ 👣 It's a sheet set I stitched up for my sister. She is an avid birder, & her favorite color is 🧡. Her wife's favorite color is 💙. This is to symbolize their marriage-- how they make sure to follow their own paths, but always meet in the middle. #embroidery

For good effect or bad, this rings true. This is first thing I think of when someone holds the door for another person. Or when someone can't leave the house w out causing drama.

I read 21 books in July. These are my favorites. Descriptions can be found in the Alt text. #booksky

Circe by Madeline Miller. This author finds a way to make everything feel plausible & well-researched. A wonderful companion to the Odyssey. This story captures Circe's relationship w Odysseus & others.

The Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank. This is the Definitive Edition narrated by Selma Blair. The original was edited by her father to remove mentions of sex & some of her clashing w family members. I haven't read this since childhood & came back to view this from an adult's perspective. Anne's ability as an author is stellar. She's approachable, admits her mistakes, & portrays a vast emotional intelligence for a kid.

Sunburn by Chloe Michelle Howarth is her debut novel. It's a sapphic teen love story that takes place in the early 1990's Ireland before homosexuality is decriminalized in Ireland. It's easy for the reader to see the correlation between the laws criminalizing homosexuality & social stigma. The word crafting in this book is beautiful & touching.

I read 20 books in June, and these are my favorites. (Descriptions in the alt text) #booksky

The Midnight Library by Matt Haig explores what ingredients constitute a good life. A woman finds a "library" during a suicide attempt & gets to choose which version of life she wants to live.

I love this time of year in SoCal. The jacaranda trees, matilija poppies, and angel's trumpets are in bloom.🌸

The jacaranda tree is a native of South America. It's known for its purple flowers and fern-like leaves.

The matilija poppy is a drought tolerant California native. It blooms from May - August

Angel's trumpet is a native of S. America. The most common color of flower in SoCal is yellow, which is fragrant. This is the pink variety

There is a hummingbird nest outside the window. Mama hummingbird has come back after a 1.5 month hiatus for SECOND round of babies. 🤩😍💗🥹🪺 Fingers crossed for all involved.🤞 What a gift it is to witness new life.🙏💗🥹

Mama Allen's Hummingbird sitting on her eggs in her nest. The nest is nestled behind large vine leaves.

Because of egg and nest size, hummingbirds can only lay 1 or 2 eggs. This amazing hummer managed to lay 2 eggs, after having raised a chick in Feb.
