This year I read 53 books, completed 51 knitting and crochet projects, and took an incredibly silly amount of cat photos. Here’s my final book, project, and ridiculous Bowie sleeping pose of 2025. May 2026 bring more books, yarn, and cats. #dungeoncrawlercarl #closetoyoushawl #bowiecat

Happy #caturday from the super snuggly Bowie!

I’ve got bingo for the @positivelyyarnie.bsky.social WIP Bingo card! I finished the Stephen West musiKAL shawl last night and I’m so pleased with how weirdly wonderful it turned out!

It’s week two for the @positivelyyarnie.bsky.social WIP Bingo Card and I’ve almost got a bingo! I may try for a black out. 🤨🧐 #wipbingocard #positivelyyarnie

My current WIP is the Stephen West MUSkal! Posting for the @positivelyyarnie.bsky.social WIP bingo card. Extra credit: my crafting companion Bowie having a nap. #positivelyyarniewipbingo

Starting the @positivelyyarnie.bsky.social WIP Bingo card with a post of my WIPs! I’ve got four going right now. 🥰 🧶

Happy #caturday to all the cats who like to vex their owners by sitting on currently-being-read books.

Some potentially awesome news coming from the west coast states! I hope this actually works out!

This wild looking yarn will soon be the Tulips pattern from Dan Doh Designs! I can’t wait to wear it!! 🤩🤩🤩

On Saturdays we nap with our noses in blankets. Happy #caturday!

Some projects for my upcoming plane ride Wednesday!

Kiddo didn’t believe me when I told him I was in a music video. (@meganmcduffee.bandcamp.com is a goddess! As are all of my friends starring in this video) The proof:

Happy #crafty #caturday!

#caturday is also #laundryday in this house. 😂

New sweater project sprouting from my needles! I can’t wait to see how it turns out! 🖤 #newsweaterproject #pressedflowerspullover #funcolors

New project started for a friend who runs warm year round. 🖤💜 #newyarnproject #openweaveknitting #purpleblackscarf

I’ll be on Anne Gudger’s Coffee Talk on Thursday at 7 PST! 🥰 I’m very excited to share two essays about grief, one I wrote recently and one from 11 years ago. DM me for the zoom link!

Last Unicorn friends! I was today years old when I discovered this cover from @lilithsaintcrow.com ! It’s absolutely stupendous!

Happy crafty #caturday!

Currently reading The Shadow Glass by @joshwinning.bsky.social and now I need a deep rewatch of all things Jim Henson.

Happy #caturday from the completely zonked out Bowster. Do you think he’s dreaming of large women? 😉 Or large cats? #catsofbluesky #skycats #nappingcats #bowietheorangetabby

Submitting short stories never ceases to be a sweaty palmed endeavor.

This is what 11 years of remission looks like! 🤩 Dear friends and day trips and coffee. #remissionanniversary

Might save a life.

Happy Caturday from Crafty Cat Bowie! Who’s helping Momma purge her yarn stash after years of hord - ahem - collecting yarn. 🧶🧶🧶

Hi friends! I'm thrilled to announce I'll be on the faculty for the 2025 Willamette Writers Conference! You can find more information about it here: willamettewritersconference.org. It's going to be super fun, you should all come! 😍

Bowie loves @catrambo.bsky.social ‘s You Sexy Thing almost as much as I do! ♥️📚

Every artist I know is really struggling right now. Financially, emotionally, their confidence, in general. If you like an artist's work, support them any way you can. Buying their stuff or subscribing to their Patreon is great, but words of encouragement are also incredibly helpful.

He was very upset when I needed to move my craft bag to put my hat project away… The glare could have melted metal. Happy crafty Caturday! #catsofbluesky #caturday #craftycaturday #bowiecat

Absolute champ.

Hey, look, here’s @chriswarcraft.bsky.social out there walking the walk www.theguardian.com/sport/2025/f...

Spotted at my local library! 🤩🤩🤩

I finished my first crocheted garment! It’s a super funky hooded house jacket and I LOVE it!

Was reminded of this brilliant ad earlier. Well worth watching (& sharing) m.youtube.com/watch?v=92iv... #CripCoop #DisabilitySky #EndTheStereotypes

My brain is soggy and I'm trying to write an essay about the grief around medical trauma and PTSD. What kind of grief do you have for a loss society doesn't talk about? We're so focused on losing people and items. What else do you grieve for?

Guess who’s been selected as a panelist for World Con in August? 🎉 I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to discuss all of my nerdy thoughts about why disabled people belong in science fiction and fantasy! 🤩

Just submitted a short story to an anthology that’s really important to me. Happy thoughts appreciated the editor likes my story! 😅

Did you know that I work as a short form content editor? Short stories, essays, novellas, novellettes are what I love to edit! Right now, we need artists, writers, and creatives more than ever. I’ve worked as an editor for 20+ years. Let me help you polish your story! ✨✨✨

My alien invasion with disabled mc short story is finally done! The first draft is with beta readers!

Bye bye facebook. Rot in the special hell. Reserved for child molesters and people who talk at the theater.

Hi soon-to-be friends! I'm Annie and I'm new here. I'm a physically disabled author, editor, crafter of the yarn variety, and pole dancer. It's nice to meet you all.
