Nixie Houston @infinitenix.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Sometimes the book you wouldn’t normally pick up, but you do because of the little recommendation sign at a small indie book store, surprises you! This was delightful and refreshing and I plan on finishing the series. 010
Nixie Houston @infinitenix.bsky.social · 24/09/2026We finally have a new cozy hobbit hole to make our own. (Yes, the ornament is backwards…) 020
Nixie Houston @infinitenix.bsky.social · 21/06/2026I’m only bringing two plants with me, our big stag fern, Bullwinkle, and my favorite silver pothos. So instead, I’ve taken clippings of anything I could, before I rehomed them locally. I’ll start them all fresh in Seattle! 000
Nixie Houston @infinitenix.bsky.social · 12/06/2026“The road goes ever on and on”… Last day at Hearst and last day in broadcast… But every new chapter requires the previous one to end… … here we go!! 020
Nixie Houston @infinitenix.bsky.social · 09/06/2026I carry field notes everyday… when I see these I had to immediately order them. Two packs. 3 places she wanted to take me to see. I still fill my field notes with messages to her. 140
Nixie Houston @infinitenix.bsky.social · 05/06/2026So… long story short… we’re moving to Seattle… 030
Nixie Houston @infinitenix.bsky.social · 14/05/2026I think I’ll be done tonight except for the side snaps!! Here’s the back of my Soft Armor! #Rebellionsarebuiltonhope #sewing 030
Nixie Houston @infinitenix.bsky.social · 13/05/2026So close to finishing my Soft Armor. Just the hand stitching on the arm holes and the side snaps. Covered in symbols of hope and resistance and finding your path in the darkness. I’ll showcase the back tomorrow. This has been a perfect meditation in stressful times. 000
Nixie Houston @infinitenix.bsky.social · 04/05/2026Big day…. Hand stitching some bias tape on my soft armor to calm my anxiety. I am one with the Force, the Force is with me. 000
Nixie Houston @infinitenix.bsky.social · 01/05/2026Happy Beltane! May the fires and flowers burn bright for everyone! I took this photo last May in Seattle to share with Grace. Which makes it the most fitting photo to share today. 110
Nixie Houston @infinitenix.bsky.social · 24/04/2026Sea of Tranquility by Emily St. James Mandel Finished in 2 days, I love a time travel paradox. I think I read it so fast so I can get to my next Becky Chambers book, haha. Book 12 for the year. 000
Nixie Houston @infinitenix.bsky.social · 22/04/2026I seriously wish these books were longer, they’re just so delightful. 010
Nixie Houston @infinitenix.bsky.social · 17/04/2026Got surprised by a giant print of my Artemis poster and logo! After all these years, this little patch logo is the absolute favorite thing I’ve ever made. The stars on the patch represent each program, with the twins as the large two. And yes, the poster is a Dark Side of the Moon reference! 040
Nixie Houston @infinitenix.bsky.social · 15/04/2026Not a huge VE Schwab fan, but it was one of the last books I know Grace wanted to read. So I read it for her. I did read it in 3 days, so I can’t say I didn’t enjoy it. Toxic lesbian vampires is a pretty accurate description. 000
Nixie Houston @infinitenix.bsky.social · 07/04/2026Seriously!! I thought this was my new Earthrise… it’s actually Earthset! 010
Nixie Houston @infinitenix.bsky.social · 05/04/2026Next book done! What’s next! I do have book 3, but might dive over elsewhere first. 000
Nixie Houston @infinitenix.bsky.social · 03/04/2026Consider again that dot. That’s here. That’s home. That’s us. On it, everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. 100
Nixie Houston @infinitenix.bsky.social · 03/04/2026This may be the single greatest page in Star trek comic history… People… there’s a story… with a corgi… on Deep Space Nine. There’s some B plot, I don’t care. I’m here for everyone falling in love with this very good boy. He even gets go to on a holosuite adventure with Miles and Julian! 030
Nixie Houston @infinitenix.bsky.social · 02/04/2026Seriously… over the next week… don’t forget… we have humans on a mission to and from the moon! 010
Nixie Houston @infinitenix.bsky.social · 22/03/2026These little plant babies are either cuttings of my own plants or little leaf that I found loose and had fallen off a plant at a big box store. They’ve been growing roots in the kitchen window for months and were planted today. 4/5 survived. #greenwitch vibes 000
Nixie Houston @infinitenix.bsky.social · 19/03/2026My first free form quilting on the hood of my Soft Armor by Thread and Sprout. A little sloppy, but I’m getting there. I’m using up almost every inch of this STUNNING linen noil I dyed a few years ago. It’ll be covered in runes and sigils to inspire and protect me. Ad astra, per apsera…. 160
Nixie Houston @infinitenix.bsky.social · 10/03/2026Panel 1 done. More to come. It’s an inch or so smaller than I expected it to be. I never said math was my strong suit, but I’m confident it’ll still work as intended. I think. #handstitching 000
Nixie Houston @infinitenix.bsky.social · 04/03/2026A very kind person drew me a little doodle today. I drew him a little Oak leaf sigil back, but missed him. Do small kind deeds today. Community is how we get through it. 000
Nixie Houston @infinitenix.bsky.social · 04/03/2026Prep work took days, but we’re rocking and rolling now. Smocking details for my next shirt. #handstiching #sewing 0181
Nixie Houston @infinitenix.bsky.social · 24/02/2026I have spent the past few years very slowly reading this. A chapter every few months, to savor it. I’m finally done. I guess I need need to read the original Cosmos again… Ann Druyan’s Cosmos: Possible Worlds #booktok 010
Nixie Houston @infinitenix.bsky.social · 23/02/2026Big throwing weekend! I placed first in Women Master’s and got Sister of the Day. Nick place 3rd in Men’s B (also threw in Men’s 40 yesterday!) Also got a new personal record in Light Hammer! #HighlandGames 020
Nixie Houston @infinitenix.bsky.social · 20/02/2026You know that character trait that means you instantly jump to Hard Mode on skills you’ve just learned… Prepping for smocking details on a new shirt… 000
Nixie Houston @infinitenix.bsky.social · 16/02/2026Hand stitching weekend while watching the Olympics! More sections of my We Are the Storm quilt. Learning how to smock! A detail I’ve wanted to learn for a while and will be in the next adventure shirt I make. 090
Nixie Houston @infinitenix.bsky.social · 10/02/2026Needs papers removed and a really good pressing, BUT! This was my largest and most complex FPP and I’m quite proud of it! I love how the marble texture turned out. #quilting 5616
Nixie Houston @infinitenix.bsky.social · 06/02/2026Oh… and Samantha Cristoforetti… don’t think I missed the astronaut… 010
Nixie Houston @infinitenix.bsky.social · 06/02/2026We’ve already been watching competition for a few days, but happy opening to the 2026 Winter Olympics! It’s my privilege every 2 years to make my company’s Olympic logo for coverage. This will be my entire life for the next 2+ weeks 💜 000
Nixie Houston @infinitenix.bsky.social · 03/02/2026I never thought I would enjoy complex FPP, but this has been wonderfully meditative. Using this marbled fabric for texture has perfect. #quilting 2210
Nixie Houston @infinitenix.bsky.social · 02/02/2026These simple triangle cowls are my most worn knits. And what better to show off stunning yarn than a simple linen stitch. Goes with everything I own, all of my favorite colors…. 010
Nixie Houston @infinitenix.bsky.social · 31/01/2026Grace and I got tattoos a year and a half ago… they didn’t match, but they shared meaning. Now I wear my own version of the one she got that day, it sits above my original. It was already full of meaning and now it has even MORE. 010
Nixie Houston @infinitenix.bsky.social · 27/01/2026My most complex FFP I’ve done. Already sewn a few pieces backwards or trimmed them incorrectly, but we’re learning quickly. Using this beautiful marble fabric I have left over, picking different color areas for the two colors. 010
Nixie Houston @infinitenix.bsky.social · 26/01/2026Oh Harry Dresden… I’ve missed you in my life. This story of grief and rebuilding has come at a perfect time for me. Especially here in January of 2026… I might re-listen to a lot of Dresden this year. #DresdenFiles 010
Nixie Houston @infinitenix.bsky.social · 22/01/202613 years total, 7 legally tied… happy anniversary to my favorite adventure partner. We’re still a duel kayaking power team. 030
Nixie Houston @infinitenix.bsky.social · 11/01/2026New PR on a marathon that was so hot and humid they cut it short behind me for safety. My first 13 miles as a new half PR as well. Walked the last 8-9 miles because of the heat. I went directly to Raglan Road for a Guinness and Oban. 010
Nixie Houston @infinitenix.bsky.social · 09/01/2026Bib secured and I met a celebrity! A detective no less! Marathon number 2, here I come! Slow and steady… 010
Nixie Houston @infinitenix.bsky.social · 05/01/2026This book. This came to me at the perfect time. It’s short and beautiful. A Psalm for the Wild-Built by Becky Chambers. She’s 2/2 for books that fill my soul. 120
Nixie Houston @infinitenix.bsky.social · 31/12/2025Fuck you 2025, don’t let the gators eat your ass on the way out… 030
Nixie Houston @infinitenix.bsky.social · 29/12/2025My Jadzia Dax outfit is done! I go for my second marathon in under two weeks! Training don’t go as planned because life didn’t go as planned… but I’m quite stubborn and at least I’ll be wearing a lot of glitter… #RunDisney #DS9 #JadziaDax 030
Nixie Houston @infinitenix.bsky.social · 26/12/2025Engage!!!! It’s taken me a day to just organize all the pieces. I mean, no way I was going to bag by bag. Building slowly to savor it. Not sure how I like the app for instructions. It is nice to be able to rotate it though. 110
Nixie Houston @infinitenix.bsky.social · 26/12/2025I haven’t knit in ages, but this simple linen stitch cowl has been incredibly soothing this holiday season. Also, how incredible is this yarn!? 140
Nixie Houston @infinitenix.bsky.social · 14/11/2025Started New York 2140 a few days ago… about 5 minutes after this cozy moment of reading over lunch… the landscapers started their engines behind me. *sigh… 020
Nixie Houston @infinitenix.bsky.social · 11/11/2025When it’s actually cold enough to wear your knitwear and brand new self made jacket in Florida. 020
Nixie Houston @infinitenix.bsky.social · 10/11/2025Fun fact, I compete in a very niche sport and I seem to have almost no photographic evidence I throw. This weekend I threw for Grace, who always called me her Shield Maiden. #highlandgames #heavyathletics 010
Nixie Houston @infinitenix.bsky.social · 31/10/2025@sashasagan.bsky.social providing me with beautiful words for me to read today when I had none to voice. 020
Nixie Houston @infinitenix.bsky.social · 26/10/2025A few days ago I lost my soul sister, best friend, and co-worker, Grace Gonzalez. It’s shocking and I don’t yet know how to process it. But I know it will involve smiles and tears and glitter and music. 050
