Have obtained a Switch 2, along with Pokopia and Lego Batman. Guess what we spent all day playing 😎

Ok I lied. I finished him off before I go to the next dragon.

Hey Muses! Come see us this weekend at #IronCityComicCon at tables 117/118! And then after that, [super delayed] art updates 🎨 I promise lol #artistalley #conlife

Time to cook up some delicious dishes with two old witches, who just so happen to live together and are raising 4 children. Together. My review for Witch Hat Atelier Kitchen is up, complete with pictures of actual food I cooked! wellarethey.blogspot.com/2026/05/witc...

The night’s progress…. Del helped! Making a dress for wifey to wear when we go to the Field Museum Pokémon Exhibit #sewing #wip #pokemon #pikachu

Mama, I’m helping! Sigh…..

Got our Adolescence of Utena theater tickets!

Comfortably sleeping while I’m working. Not fair.

Saw I Love Boosters and I don’t know how to describe this movie. But I really liked it.

How about an older collection of manga stories about finally getting that moment with your king, and maybe a bit of magic involved. My review for Lily Hoshino’s Alone in my King’s Harem is up! wellarethey.blogspot.com/2026/05/alon...

Is God Is …is a stunning movie. So good.

I really did try to get into this one. But the characters just seem too incompatible to me and the story doesn’t give me much to work with or be invested in. I made it some 100 pages before I just had to admit to myself that I really didn’t care and this story isn’t my thing.

Kitten shelf in my newly redone office. I think he likes it….

Work has begun on wifey’s dress for the exhibit at the Field Museum. Also, this pattern is crap. Why do the sketches on the side look like full ruffle skirts when the pattern has it as a simple small fold. Gonna have to alter on my own 😖 #sewing #pokemon #pikachu

I think this might be done, save for the small patch of white beads missing on his back… #embroidery #spiritedaway #beading Now onto the next anime dragon…..

Ran out of white beads, so switching back to thread until I have a chance to run to the store #spiritedaway #embroidery #beading

The beading is working 😍 #spiritedaway #embroidery #beading

Rewatching the Rose Red mini series today. Actually pretty surprised how much I still like this particular haunted house story.

Holy shit these rose tarts! This recipe is worth getting the manga for. And it’s so yummy

Fluffy, cheesy egg melt sandwich from Witch Hat Atelier Kitchen. The perfect breakfast sandwich! #wha #cooking

Friday date

Back on schedule with a new review and a list of upcoming events where you can find us and our books! Checking in on one of my favorite couples from last year with my review of 23:45 Re; wellarethey.blogspot.com/2026/05/2345...

Recipe #2 Witch Hat Pasta with Parasol Jelly & Tomato Cream Sauce….. I don’t even like seafood like that but damn this is good. (Even if I cheaped out and got premade pasta.) 🤤🤤 #cooking #wha

Wifey is going places and I’m tagging along (on most of them). You should join us!

So I decided to try out the Witch Hat Atelier Kitchen manga… this has been a mistake. I’m going to be making all these recipes. Atelier Style Mushroom and Bacon Croquettes are a success! #wha #cooking

You can’t fool me, I know ‘cooking gays’ when I see it. That said, I need to go to the grocery store…..

The. Detail. Now the rest is the trees and maybe a dragon….

Wifey and I have never seen Jennifer’s Body. We’re fixing that tonight.

😭😭😭 I can not be more thankful that my wifey and I met him and got some of his books signed last year in New York. I am sad that we won’t be able to read the next book that he mentioned working on.

Also, lemme restate what my wifey did. I never expected this movie to be the best comment on the state of the industry of journalism plus on the attempted take over by tech bros and AI. Just like, shit, this movie is so so relevant and you need to see it.

Holy Shit Devil Wears Prada 2. That’s how you do sequels and revisits to old favorites.

Reading some manga quick before we go see an early showing of Devil Wears Prada 2.

Mortal Kombat 2!!!! Really want to just go right back into the theater and watch the next showing. And maybe the one after that. And after that. And after that…

Almost forgot to post all the May releases! Quick, add to that TBR! wellarethey.blogspot.com/2026/05/upco...

Caught Puppet red handed…

Morning munchies with Del

Artists, if you see this, post a bird. 🪶 Any art form; no-AI. 🎨 No no, not the cat. Check out the pixelated fleece Celeste quilt under her I made from Animal Crossing.

New patterns arrived… Time to get working on that Pokemon dress #sewing

Hey, guess what, we’re gonna be guests at CoreCon this year in Fargo! May 21st to 24th! We’ll have a table and be running a few panels. Can’t wait to see you there! www.fargocorecon.org

First day at home for new remote job. Gotta build a new rhythm

Color by color on the bathhouse. #spiritedaway #embroidery #wip

New embroidery project. This time I sketched the design from Spirited Away and I’ll be embroidering it and then making Haku out of beads.

It’s funny, I started reading this series for the Percy Jackson of it all and I find I’m actually enjoying this one more than Percy Jackson (which i adore). The inventiveness he has in exploring Egyptian mythology is awesome and absurd in just the right ways. I wish there were more than 3 books.

Finally finished wifey’s Silksong cloak and got some good pictures. All the bugs are hand embroidered on and it took quite a few months. #cosplay #embroidery

The Black Girl Book Fair is tomorrow and I’m so excited!!! Remember, it’s virtual, free, and attendees will have a discount for everything in our shop!

Loved the manhwa, enjoyed the live action, now to read the novel… My review for Semantic Error: The Novel (1) is up! wellarethey.blogspot.com/2026/04/sema...

Here’s a few more, now listed!

As I’m taking pictures of all these book covers…. Who wants some patchwork Witch Hat sketchbooks if I make a few?

Spending the morning posting all the adjustable bookcovers I made on our Etsy. Looking for a custom size or design? Send me a message! (Link in profile)

-sigh- week four of waiting begins… Time to sew to keep my mind off it.
