Halloween bookmark cross stitch update! I've done three out of the four shades of blue so far. I think I'm finally slowing down with my cross stitch. Will I get a second wind, or will another hyperfixation take over? We shall see! #crossstitch

Merch Store update! My fourthwall store now has shirts, magnets, and more that feature the cover image of my novel Echo of the Larkspur! The shirts are super comfy, and there's plenty of stuff you can't get anywhere else! Check it out! aughtpunk-shop.fourthwall.com

Halloween cross stitch bookmark update! I've finished the greens! The last green was nothing like the color that was printed on the fabric. Makes me wonder if any other colors will be that drastically different. #crossstitch

Halloween cross stitch bookmark update! I've finished two out of the three shades of green! I'm really curious over how the purples are going to look when finished. Nice and bright, hopefully. #crossstitch

IT'S SOUP SEASON BABY

Halloween Cat cross stitch bookmark update! Almost done with all the reds. Onto the oranges next! I really like how the spooky red one is turning out so far. But the purple one calls to me. #crossstitch

I wrote another piece of flash fiction for my Midwife Fables series! Enjoy "Still She Haunts Me, Phantomwise", where The Midwife goes to look for a missing girl and finds a suspicious rabbit hole instead archiveofourown.org/works/71016411

Time for a new project! I thought these Halloween cross stitch cat bookmarks were ADORABLE! Just look at them! Look at the colors! And if the space bookmarks are anything to go by the colors should really pop at the end! I can't wait! #crossstitch

Beaded unicorn cross stitch update! I have finished the unicorn! I felt like a surgeon trying to make all of those tiny cuts and then sewing the two pieces together. I think it turned out super cute! I can't wait to put it on my tree this year! #crossstitch

Beaded unicorn cross stitch update! I've finished beading both sides of the unicorn! Now to start the super fun and not tedious at all task of slowly cutting both sides out and then sewing them together! #crossstitch

Once I went to a production of The Secret Garden and for some reason they were selling fresh bread in the lobby and I just ate an entire loaf of French bread during the course of the musical and I've been chasing that high my entire life.

Beaded unicorn cross stitch update! As I thought thanks to my COVID booster I spent the day feeling like a truck ran me over several times. Still, I was able to get half of the other side done! Will I be able to finish the other half tomorrow? We shall see! #crossstitch

Beaded cross stitch unicorn update! One side is completely done! My arm is doing better so I was able to make some major progress today. Now I did get my COVID-19 vaccine today so God knows what state I'll be in tomorrow, but hopefully I'll still be able to stitch! #crossstitch

Unicorn beaded cross stitch update! I'm halfway through with the first side! Things went a little slow because I, sigh, somehow managed to pinch a nerve in my shoulder while sleeping and now I get this lovely jolt of pain when I move my left arm. Great. Super. #crossstitch

Unicorn beaded ornament cross stitch update! I've done the outline! It was as fiddly and annoying as I thought it would be. Now to stitch a million billion white beads. #crossstitch

Unicorn cross stitch update! The blue and pink parts are finished! Now onto the annoying outline and then the endless fields of white. Wee? #crossstitch

Onto the next cross stitch project! This is another beaded keychain that's going to be turned into a Christmas ornament. Isn't it a cute lil unicorn? #crossstitch

Space bookmark cross stitch final update! They are finished! I absolutely love how they turned out! Now. What should I do with five bookmarks...? #crossstitch

Space bookmark cross stitch update! I am done with the cross stitching! I absolutely love how the colors pop! Now to finish the edges and slap the backing on. #crossstitch

If you want to help support me and my work, consider checking out my Amazon wishlist: www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/...

I don't dream about my novel becoming a movie. I dream about Echo of the Larkspur becoming a late 90s Sci-fi Channel miniseries with terribly dated CGI

Well I've been down and out a few days with an eye infection but now that I can actually see it is my left eye again I thought I'd post a space bookmark cross stitch update! Almost done with black! Just one more bookmark to finish up! #crossstitch

Surprise! I wrote a short Midwife story decided to post it online for everyone to read. So please enjoy "There are Witches in these Woods", a story where The Midwife meets one of those child-eating witches she's heard so much about. archiveofourown.org/works/70198626

Space bookmark cross stitch update! After a quiet weekend spent coughing and drinking throat soothing tea I got almost all of the purple finished! After this it's just the black. Almost done! #crossstitch

Space bookmark cross stitch update! Finished all the blues, now there's just purple and black left. I'm planning on taking it easy this weekend to recover from my bronchoscopy so I'm hoping to finish this up while relaxing. Or at least get close to done. #crossstitch

Space bookmark cross stitch update! Down to the last three colors. Unfortunately dark blue/purple/black looks almost identical on the pattern. So there might be some guessing on my part. #crossstitch

I got a hit tip and it turns out that Echo of the Larkspur is up to #23 in LGBTQ+ books on Amazon! Thank you everyone who has bought and reviewed my book! I couldn't have done it without you!

It's been a hot minute so here's a space bookmark cross stitch update! I'm reaching that point in a project where I'm starting to get a little bored with what I'm doing. I'm going to push through it though cause I only got a couple of colors left. Almost there! #crossstitch

Lenoir locals! You can now find my book Echo of the Larkspur at the MoonJoy Meadery, along with other great local authors! Why not check out my book for free and get some mead while you're at it?

Space bookmark cross stitch update! Making some progress on the reds and blues. Since I got the bronchoscopy tomorrow I figure I'll have a nice relaxing weekend of not talking and cross stitching ahead of me. Wish me luck! #crossstitch

Space bookmark cross stitch update! Okay I'm done with all of the minor colors. Now onto the big swatches of red, orange, purple, black and various blues. This step may take a bit. Especially the black bits. #crossstitch

Space bookmark cross stitch update! Still looks exactly the same despite progress. Today's color I worked on was pink, I swear! #crossstitch

Space bookmark cross stitch update! So I'm not sure if I should bother posting updates on this project in the early stages just because it's so hard to tell in photos that I'm actually making any progress. You really gotta zoom in to see those stitches. #crossstitch

Okay so after tossing out the AI Slop project I decided to go with these cross stitch bookmarks next. They're really cute, but my big problem is that they use the actual colors of the thread for the pattern, which makes it almost impossible to tell what progress I've actually made. #crossstitch

So I got this jellyfish cross stitch kit, right? But the longer I look at it the more I suspect it's pure AI Slop. And frankly that makes me not want to work on it and I feel terrible for giving said slop producer my money. Ugh. What do you guys think? #crossstitch

The cross stitch four leaf clover is finished! Went real easy outside of that first issue. But kind of boring, too? It was just the same leaf eight times over. Going to do something a bit more complex next. Maybe a normal cross stitch project instead of another ornament? #crossstitch

Four leaf clover cross stitch update! So remember how I said there weren't any translated instructions? Yeah, I totally did the wrong color first so I had to rip everything out and start over. Onward to the last color! #crosstitch

I'm now selling my handmade Sock Imps online! Get one today! ko-fi.com/s/fce46cfd40

Onto the next cross stitch project! This time it's a tiny breaded four leaf clover. I'm glad it's a very simple pattern with just three colors because the instructions are entirely in Chinese. Usually these weird bootleg kits at least have an included translation guide. #crossstitch

Still got plenty left for you Sunday #TFNation stragglers! Come check it out!

I wrote a The Midwife flash fiction during my spravato treatment this week and I liked it so much I cleaned it up and posted it online! Enjoy The Midwife's encounter with The Pied Piper! #fairytales archiveofourown.org/works/68968351

The Cross Stitch Christmas tree is done! And it's...a Steampunk tree! A steampunk tree? Yeah, I was surprised when I first saw it too. What an odd choice for the company to go with. All the other trees by the Same company are all normal Christmas themes. Well! Onto the next project! #crossstitch

Christmas tree cross stitch update! Almost done with all of the colors! After that is just the detailing. Can you guess what type of tree this is yet? Can you??? #crossstitch

Cross stitch Christmas tree update! Got a lot of work done on it today! Can you tell what type of Christmas tree it is yet? You can't! Because the answer is wild! #crossstitch

Onto the next cross stitch project! It's another ornament, yes. And it's of a Christmas tree, yes. But can you guess what TYPE of Christmas tree it is?? You can't! Really, you can't. It's rather...odd. #crossstitch

The cross stitch mushroom is done! Ain't it cute? I really like how it looks stuffed and seen together. It's going to make a great Christmas ornament! Onto the next kit! #crossstitch

Cross stitch mushroom update! After dealing with doctors all day I didn't have the energy left in me to do much cross stitching. But I did manage to make some progress on the remaining red bit. Hopefully I'll be able to finish up the project tomorrow! #crossstitch
