I don’t know anything about this artist but their diss tracks on the current administration are satisfying - Bird-Legged Ho makes me cackle every time. This latest track about Kegsbreath is making me cackle

A slightly worn book cover in a light teal. Printed in yellow ink & centered on the cover: “I would be like this if I know how to not be like this, ok?” Followed by a line drawing of a loaf of bread, with the first couple of pieces sliced off and laying in front of it.

Latest creative obsession: nail stamping. As in, nail polish on a metal plate, transferred to a silicone thingamajig, and then transferred onto my fingernail. I’m still mastering the techniques but it’s so satisfying to successfully get a black cat onto my fingernail!

Walked in nature and saw no wildlife whatsoever due to four family members who can’t control their talking or volume. Bought locally-dyed yarn at a LYS & am already scoping out patterns for it. Toured a historical bathhouse & watched the water naturally steam at 130-140°F. Walked over 9k steps.

Three hanks of yarn lay on a floral bedspread. The skeins on either side are shades of bluey-purple with a yellow/gold patch. The skein on the right has deeper colors than the skein on the left. The skein in the middle is pinky-purples fading to cream.

A shallow stream flows through a forest toward us; we can see a walking bridge in the middle distance. An art installation hangs in the air between us and the bridge. It is a wire mesh suspending colorful streamers that flutter in the breeze. We can see a little of the colors reflected in the water. This is at Garvan Woodland Gardens.

This is a beautiful stained glass skylight in the Fordyce Bathhouse in Hot Springs, AR. The stained glass depicts Neptune’s Daughter and is made of 8.000 pieces of glass.

Water bubbles up in a simple outdoor fountain. The fountain is low to the ground and is a simple metal pipe with very hot water shooting up about a foot and a half. A person’s hand is reaching toward the pipe from the left side of the photo. Not pictured: the steam billowing up from the surface of the water even though the air temperature was between 85-90°F.

This screenshot from Threads has been haunting me since I saw it. I have never minded my smile lines or crows’ feet. I love how my silver hairs shine against my dark brown hair. …but what about shaving/body hair? What about my skin care - “anti-aging” vs “protection from sun damage”?

A crocheted hexagon sits in the palm of a white person’s hand. The hexagon is a swirl of light green (colorway name is Pistachio) and silvery purple (colorway name is Wisteria). There is a chain of white stitches starting at the center and swirling out to wrap around the edge of the hexagon.

Another crocheted hexagon sits on the same palm. The colors of this hexagon are yellow (colorway name is Dandelion) and the same silvery purple as the previous hexagon, with a white chain stitch swirling from the center out to wrap around the edge.

Day 10 is another mini polish! Color name is Wreath Havoc Taco. This is a glitter polish, and it is deep rich colors. The primary color is a deep blue-green with electric flashes of bright green, magenta, and gold.

My white hand is holding the mini bottle above the day 10 box.

I’m holding the bottle upside down so we can see the color label. The name is Wreath Havoc Taco.

I’ve turned the bottle to a sideways view for another look at all the colors in the polish. The green is really showing here with more flakes of magenta, a flash of red, and lots of bright green.

I am doing a couple of Advent calendars this year! I spent about $100 on a wine advent calendar from Total Wine. My plan is to open the next day’s door each night so I can put the wine in the appropriate side of our wine fridge. Here’s what the box looks like.

A green box sits on a kitchen counter. The box has a gingerbread man cookie printed on the right side and Christmas balloons printed on the left side; the balloons are supporting a wine glass.
The box has the message “Take a Journey in Good Taste 2025” with smaller print stating “24 Wine-derful bottles (187 mL each)”

The top side of the box is red and has 24 perforated circles. The printing has various christmassy decorations, and the number corresponding to the day is printed on a wine bottle. The numbers are all mixed up as opposed to being in sequential order.
