I am a freebie-making addict, I tell you. I had to ban myself from bead.tin because I want to buy all the things. Current project: BTS bracelets for the Oct. 24th Buenes Aires show. I really love the sparkle beads the most but love the dark ones, with the way they shine.... :)

4 stacks of ten BTS bracelets in shiny black, sparkle violet and clear with little microphones, arranged on a space-themed mat. Aka my craft desk. :)

What a satisfying day this is. Barktopia is complete at a little over 254,000 orders, written in 1 year and 2 months. Writing in &Team fandom has been (and will continue to be) so much fun. What a great experience this has been! And yeah, I cried when I finished. Totally normal! #andteam

Screenshot of my scrivener showing all parts of my fic Barktopia, parts 1 - 7, are now complete. Scrivener has been retired. WHEE! What a happy day! If you are curious about &Team, let me know. These guys are so lovely, and the fandom is too. Lots of great writers and fics, which I adore. :)

Look at what I scored this weekend. :) I have been warned to hide my home location, add extra deadbolts, and get a guard dog. :) This pic is now in a frame on my desk so I can admire him for hours on end. And I will. Maybe I should take him to work with me... #ateez #yeosang

Yeosang with blond hair, black pants, shoes, tank, white towel around his remarkable shoulders, sitting cross-legged in front of a mirror and taking a selfie to show off his stunning, stunning arms. He also has red velvo wrist things on his wrists, the function of which I have no idea.

Just found one of the first pics of my puppy Sparky. He was such a cute demon back then! Now he is a beautiful demon. :) #siberianhusky #husky #dogs

After I shared this elsewhere, I realized that Sparky was checking out another dog's poop. What I want to point out is how incredibly amazing the river looks, partway frozen which NEVER happens here. (have a 2nd pic in penance) #siberianhusky #husky

A majestic gray and white Siberian Husky along the snow-flocked banks of the Trinity River, which is frozen in a gorgeous pattern of whites and bluish grays.

Along the banks of a snow-flocked river, a Siberian Husky stares over the semi-frozen waters, contemplating how he is a Texas husky and he sure wishes it was always like this outside.

I can't resist sharing a couple more favorites of Sparky from today - my snow dog is living his best life (even if it isn't the 2+ feet of snow I wish he could experience). #husky #dogs #siberianhusky

Texas snow dog relishing the start of a wintry weekend. We don't get this often but we'll make the most of it. Round one is small, round two is the big nasty one, but Sparky still has to be walked so I can expect to be out in it today at least 3 more times. #siberianhusky #husky #dogs

Sparky, a gray and white Siberian Husky, happily looking around as he finally gets to experience the cold cold temps and crunchy grass that he was born for. People think having a husky in Texas is mean - don't be ridiculous - but I do love when I can let him enjoy his true elements.

Yuma puppy rolling around on his mat which looks a lot like one of Sparky's mats lol. I can just hear his whining about not being able to use his phone...

Dark haired Yuma on a grey dog mat (to keep with the theme) dying to use his phone but he is in the midst of a challenge and cannot and he is just not liking it one bit. His shirt is white with blue on the front (I forget the design) but his arms are bare and oh look at those two adorable freckle/moles....

The Trinity, which flows right past my apartments. She is a plain river, but oh my gosh are the sunsets glorious, and my husky has made many good friends along those banks.

Five dogs walking along the river - Thor the Frenchie, Waylon the Great Dane, two Shepherd friends and my husky, Sparky (yes, the only dog on leash). Right before sunset on a beautiful fall day last year. The river is low, the waterfowl count high. I love living right here.

Little Kitty is fun! Skyrim 4ever! I've now got mine set up with the NOVUS setup, which is so fun. Lately I've been playing a Chinese game, Where Winds Meet. It is free to play and is blowing my mind in the best of ways. Zero idea of what I am doing and I love it. It is open-world like Skyrim.

a screenshot of my guy from Where Winds Meet - he is looking out over a lake, from the shower, a dock to his side, with the late-afternoon sun beaming down on him. I love this game. Going in blind for the most part, learning stuff as I go. I am playing solo but can be played with others. And it is FREE.

Such a good day! Long walk with Sparky, finally broke the writing famine (9 days w/out writing, ouch, but it was all Real Life's fault, not writer's block), and made a glorious delicious incredible Guinness Stew. Read lots of fic, cleaned all the things, and had a nice day. :) #siberianhusky

Gray and white husky aka Sparky laying on ground, doing his damn best to get every last slurp of his puppuccino out and in his belly.

Sparky wanted to do the long walk around the river and so what Sparky wants, Sparky gets. Image is of a gray and white Siberian Husky walking along a leafy path with a glorious red and burnished brown tree ahead - most of the leaves have fallen now which is sad as I wish we could've enjoyed them longer but oh well

Gray and white Siberian husky who think he can do what he wants when it comes to high-up things. He loves being up high! Yes this is a table but the bbq place has been closed awhile which is sad to me but they couldn't get enough business and the beef prices are insane these days so they closed up and I am sad forever as I used to love walking Sparky around to this side of the river and grab a sandwich. Sigh. We can't have nice things thanks to youknowwho. Fucking bastard I hate him for all he's done and is doing and yeah meat prices are minor in the overall scheme of things he's done but dang it, I was mad about this today. yeah. 1 lb. of brisket - 26 bucks!!!! UNREAL.

A close up shot of the Guinness Stew I made today! SO GOOD. Sorry Raethye, there is celery in there but I hit it in this picture so you wouldn't be sad. After bemoaning the price of brisket, I snared a gorgeous 5 lb. pot roast for 30 bucks(gasp), saved a third of it for later and made a veggie-loaded beef stew with the rest. A bottle of Guinness stout REALLY makes for excellent stew, lemme tell you what hi ho oh yeah baby. Nom nom yeah.

I can't write today. Do not send help. Morning coffee-time snuggle time is the best time. And the only time Sparky will snuggle like this so here I stay forever... #siberianhusky #husky #dogs

Gray Siberian husky draped over an orange-yellow pillow, comfortably snoozing on his owner (who he has trapped beneath said pillow). The comforter is 'his' comforter, an old white one I throw over my bed for him to snuggle into (sometimes I will find it in a swirl, like he's done husky twirls with it). There is a giant RJ at the end of the bed, and a glimpse of my repurposed china cabinet (who cares about displaying china these days? not me) with a Christmas RJ peeking through past Kooky. I have 29 RJ's btw. He is my bias. :)

This is a huge favorite of mine. Happy birthday!

Blond Jimin in raspberry torn-up hoodie that probably cost over 250 bucks but hey, fashion - hand to his face, smiling at Namjoonie, just so soft and lovely. This was pre-military, very close to leaving. I am so glad he is back home and back to himself. We are so lucky.

Am not one usually for WIP Wednesday (shy) but I like this Word of the Week thing. Thankfully "finally" counts! From Ch. 15 of Barktopia, next chapter in my &Team fic. #andteam

What did you want to say,” Taki finally says. He can’t just sit here dying forever. He can’t let the bubble of hope take over his lingering frustration with Maki, either.
“I owe you an apology,” Maki starts. He sighs, shoulders lifting and falling, expression moving from chagrined to worried. “I put you in a position you didn’t deserve to be put in.” He flicks a glance at K. “You too, K-hyung.”

A picture of six dogs in a dog daycare (Dogtopia) who are separated from each other - this is so rare I wonder if there was an argument and they were separated. My Siberian Husky is in the back left on top of a green piece of play equipment. This is NOT why I send him to school!

Treated myself to a trip to HMart. Sat in my fave Korean coffee shop and worked on my current wip while listening to great music and drank a sweet potato latte, then bought merch (Ateez & &Team) and then had fun in HMart and bought all the goods for soondubu jjigae. Got triangle kimbap too. :)

Going to make Soondubu tomorrow! I have been craving it like crazy. Grocery basket full of snax, green onions, Thai bananas (perfect for smothies), mushrooms (3 kinds), and a bag of frozen pork belly. Also 3 triangle kimbap.

ARE YOU SURE?! smacked me in the face about these and I've been wanting one ever since. So I got three. LOL. I will think of Jimin when I eat them. Display of different kinds of triangle kimbap.

Settled for brainstorming in the coffee shop, TomToms. I love this coffee shop but it is 45 or so minutes from home and that's via the tollway so not cheap - I had a fave of mine I always get there, Roasted Sweet Potato Latte. (Pic is of a table with a blank notebook and a purple pen, and the latte, and a bit of the rest of the coffee shop which is primarily Korean but also has some Japanese treats as well as 'regular' coffees. The music is always kpop. I love this coffee shop! Why can't I have one just like this in my city???!?!?!?!?!?!!?

I wanted to buy them all - basket full of Wanteez plushies. at $9.00 a piece, and yes they are legit ones as is everything in this shop, my fingers really itched baaaaaddddd..... lol.
