I am in extreme sticker shock right now. I went to pick up my insulin from CVS, but I needed to update my insurance. I forgot to stick my new insurance card in my wallet, so I passed them my old one, thinking it was basically the same. It wasn’t. (1/?) #healthcare #americanhealthcare

Deciding where to start is hard. #lordoftherings #booksky #hobbithole #embroidery

Technically haven’t finished book 5 yet, which is why it’s not rated, but this is how my embroidery tracker is working this year #booksky #embroidery #readingtracker #books #booklover

Got my embroidery reading tracker set up for 2026! And I’m already 4 books behind, lol #embroidery #reading #readingtracker #booksky

There’s a TARDIS little free library near me, so I just had to check it out! (And yes, I left books inside.) #booksky #tardis #doctorwho #littlefreelibrary

Got my embroidery reading tracker planned out for next year. I’m planning to stitch the shelves ahead of time, then draw and stitch the books as I finish them. Let’s see how this plan works! 😅 #booksky #readingtracker #embroidery #wip

Finished my embroidery reading tracker! It’s not accurate, since I over shot my goal 😅 I filled in all the books back in October, so it doesn’t have any of my reads from November or December, I’m trying to make it more adaptable for 2026 for my reading habits 🤔 #embroidery #readingtracker #booksky

Happy holidays!! > Merry Christmas > Happy Saturnalia > Happy Yule > Happy Kwanza > Happy (Belated) Hanukkah #happyholidays #holidaycheer

It’s a snow day, and Calcifer is loving life! 🥰❄️ #snowday #dogmom #goldenretriever #snow #snowdog #happydog

This shirt makes me ridiculously happy #barbie #barbiegirl #barbieinthenutcracker

Finished the finish line! Now all that’s left is the center 😮‍💨 #mariokart #supermariobros #mario #embroidery

Decorated my library a bit and set up my little tree ☺️ My angel now has a sword 😆 it’s the FairyLoot Serpent & Dove replica #christmas #christmastree #bookshelf #shelfie #booksky

Finally finished the rainbow road! Now to tackle the finish line! #mariokart #embroidery

It’s Calcifer’s birthday today! He’s officially 2! #dogmom #furbaby #goldenretriever

I did better reading than I thought in November, though you can tell when I was too sick and miserable to read 😆😅 @thestorygraph.com #booksky #readingwrapup

After spending all last week sick and miserable, I’m so happy to be back out on the trail! I didn’t jog my usual 30, but I’m still quite pleased to have done a full 20 minutes of running! #couchto5k #c25k #jogging

13 hours to go, and the Law of the Dragons kickstarter campaign will come to an end. I'm beyond amazed and moved by the support it's received. Genuinely could not have expected it to go any better. I'm on the last reread before sending it to the editor where line edits begin in 3-4 weeks💜

I do love whipping out my Christmas colors for December! And I remembered my star lights, so these #bookstagram pics are extra festive! Here are a few of my favorites—including a pic featuring artwork by @lumaris.net 🎄 #booksky

Finished stitching in 3 hours. Just needs tidying and securing the back, and it will be ready to be wrapped! #dnd #embroidery #handmade #dragon #nat20

16 days to go, almost to the next stretch goal! Thanks everyone who has helped fund this, the response has been overwhelming. 🥹💜The hardcover proof is almost here, fingers crossed it should be this week. If the print comes out well, then it's just waiting for the edits 💜 ETA release 5/2026

We’ve had our first group of trick-or-treaters, and Calcifer is looking for more #trickortreat #happyhalloween #halloween #goldenretriever

Happy Halloween! #halloween #goldenretriever

All 120 books have been filled in and rated! (Except for one still missing its 4⭐️ stripe; I need to dig out that particular green.) Now I need to decide if I want to fill in the bookshelf itself, or leave it blank 🤔 #readingtracker #embroidery #booksky #booklover #bookworm

Watching the Boris Karloff Frankenstein, and the credits go by, and Mom is like, “Percy Shelley? I thought it was written by Mary Shelley?” I saw the title and clarified, “MRS. Percy Shelley. I guess this is the misogynistic version.” #booksky #frankenstein

My little cutie is napping while I make bookish content for #indigenouspeoplesday #booksky #goldenretriever

Worked on this all day and got it finished! An adorable little Stitch for October ☺️ #embroidery #pumpkin #stitch

Sipping coffee, reading the latest @tkingfisher.com book, and listening to a group of old men talking shit about the president. It’s a good day #amreading #coffee #booksky

Finished stitching another Christmas present! I just need to tidy it up and get it properly framed, and it will be complete! #embroidery #hauntedmansion #disney

The bookshelf is filled! Now I just have to fill in the stacked books ☺️ (That’s 110/120 books read this year) #embroidery #readingtracker #booksky #books

Waiting to see Leigh Bardugo!!! #booksky #sixofcrows #grishaverse #leighbardugo

Back at my happy place ☺️ #mdrenfest #renaissancefestival

🥰🥰🥰

I love them 🥰 And I highly recommend Yukimi to work with! I love their art, and they’re super nice and great at capturing your vision!

Watching #IndianaJones and the Quest for the Holy Grail, and this exchange between Indy and Elsa stuck out to me for sadly contemporary reasons: “I believe in the Grail, not the swastika.” “You stood up to be counted with the enemy of everything that the Grail stood for.” #nazisarebad #woke

Jogging was a mental struggle today 🫠 I wanted to stop after 4 minutes, but I managed to do the whole 15 through sheer force of playlist #c25k #couchto5k #morningjog

Spent the day prepping/designing new #embroidery projects, and I’ve got quite a few I’m excited to start! I will say, I’m a one-at-a-time gal, so it will take me some time to work through all these. #dnd #dragon #lotr #thehobbit

After our walk, Calcifer dives into his pool, then begins digging 😆😆😆 #muddydog #goldenretriever #dogmom #happydog

Got caught up on my #readingtracker today! I’m on the last shelf!!! #embroidery #wip #bookworm #booksky

Found more mushroom clusters on the walk today 😚

I drew too much attention to myself today 😅 I’m wearing a shirt that says “Never Laugh At a Live Dragon”, and two waiters complimented it. The one waitress had a Maas tattoo, and I complimented her, which sent her gushing about the dragons in GoT for some reason 😆 #ootd #booksky #booknerds

Found a really cool mushroom cluster on our walk today! #nature #naturewalk #mushroom

Finished the quilt!!! Then had to play with Calcifer and his bunny, because he said so 😆 There are 32 quotes in the black and red squares. My most quoted author was Hannah Whitten, with a 4-way tie for second being Ava Reid Holly Black Leigh Bardugo Roseanne Brown #bookquilt #quilt #booksky

Accidentally ran 15 minutes straight today (mental calculations as HARD when running), and I’m pleased to find I’m capable of such a stretch. Still not ready for that 22 minute stretch, though! #c25k #couchto5k

My #quilt is almost done! All quotes have been stitched, all squared have been sewn together, so now all I need to do is actually quilt the thing and attach the binding ☺️ #quilting #wip

#Couchto5k wanted me to go from running 10/3/10 to 22 straight, and I need more of a build up before I lose that precious 3 minute walk, so I’m using their #freerun feature to work up to 22 minutes. 12/3/8 to 13/3/7, slowly pushing that rest until I don’t need it. Today it was more 3/2/10/5/7 😅 #run

Last set of red squares for the night! Hopefully I’ll be finished embroidering by Wednesday, then it’s binding and quilting and done!

What a beautiful day to roll around in the grass #dogsofblusky #goldenretriever

I so did not want to get up and run today. It was a mental battle all up and down the trail, but I did it. #couchto5k #c25k #running

Making progress with the quotes for my quilt! I’m working on the galaxy squares, and as you can see, I was trying to pick fairly short quotes so they’d fit. There are a few longer ones I’m opening that I hope will work 🤞🏻 #booksky #bookquotes #quilt

Calcifer was owning the camera today ☺️ #goldenretriever #dogsofblusky
