Cross stitch project. Mottled pale blue and light brown fabric, Aida 18 count. On it is being stitched various supernatural creatures like sirens and werewolves. There is a lot of DMC 310 (or black) in the frame and creatures. The project is unfinished and one section is on a hoop.

Hauled out this old project to work on a little leading up to Halloween. This is the Supernatural SAL from the Witchy Stitcher. Started the Jinn last night (far right section).

The in-the-background-financial-mess is also ongoing. At this point I'll take whatever gigs people have to pass along. Might be sorting this problem out for a while, so everything helps.

Krista being unhinged about the Mission: Impossible films is just the BEST. :)

Giant thread of my backlist. I have *so* many books, so flip through and see if anything appeals.

Shitposting is fun and all, but it doesn't pay the bills.

🧵Lots of great books and authors here.

Many also allow walk-ins! I was in and out in ten minutes--covid and flu shots together--last week, and I'm rural. It's easy and free, so take advantage of it!

Book promo post. The background is distressed gold, looking like creased paper. Text says Now Available. A 3D mock-up of a short story collection, Harvesting Moonshine & Other Stories, by M L D Curelas. The cover is teal and gold-toned. On the gold, right-hand side, a flying saucer soars over towering skyscrapers. The teal left-hand side lists a few stories collected in the the volume, finishing with the tag line ... and more! The cover is distressed and creased to give it a vintage, pulp feel. The back cover is also displayed and says in large font "Visit Alternate Earths!" and has old-fashioned illustrations of robots and flying saucers, resembling vintage pulp sci-fi magazines.

I have a short story collection! Visit Alternate Earths in retro sci-fi, steampunk, & weird west stories--including some Wellsian settings. 🛸

Pink and purple petunias overflow a porch planter box. A pot of pink and white geraniums are perched on a stool so they are taller than the petunias. Behind this jungle of pink, a large nasturtium peeks.

These pink petunias are just really happy and are spilling out of the built-in planter.
