Found these cool mushrooms on our walk this morning.

I see this heart shaped stone and single red rose every time we walk the elder dog. Just wanted to share the love 🌹🀍

Crochet teapot purse complete! I could probably add more detail but I'm actually happy with it. More stuff may get added as I see how it works during use.

I almost completely free styled this. I started with an amigurumi potted plant base and I used a pattern for the roses I found online but the rest I kind of made up as I went. I'm really happy with the outcome. On the next one I want to figure out a way to make the lid more sturdy and I need to find a better leaf pattern but overall I like how this turned out.

Taking a tiny break from work to write out an idea. Today, I have werewolves on the brain.

The Wolf Inside | Kindle Vella

There are no such things as werewolves. At least, that's what Princess Reihlu was told her entire life. And she fully believed it, until she was trying to escape her evil new husband and found herself face to face with a creature from a nightmare. Now it seems like everyone she thought she could trust is suddenly keeping secrets and her husband is certain she's hiding something he wants. Reihlu is determined to win back her kingdom but it looks like she'll have to do it on her own.

I've wanted to write a reverse werewolf story for the longest time. I decided to build it into my Balancing Wonderland world and have been struggling with an antagonist for over a month. Finally, I decided, to just throw in the Cheshire Cat and see where it goes. He's not a "bad guy" but he won't let sleeping wolves lie...things are about to get interesting for our wolfish heroine :)

If you want to check out the story, the semi edited version is being posted in episodes on Vella: https://www.amazon.com/kindle-vella/story/B0B2L558X5

It has been 107 this weekend. We beat the heat yesterday morning on a quick hike to see the American River. I got to put my fingers in the water and it was refreshingly icy!

Found a heart shaped rock while hiking yesterday. It's even the right color!
I really want to work on my Wonderland series today. The only problem is I can't decide if I want to work on the White Queen's origin story or start on the 3rd Hatter novel. Hmmm...

My mom mailed me 2 boxes of purses from across the country because they're downsizing. I was thrilled to find that they match stuff I already own and they're interesting enough that I can use them at work or just for fun.

EDIT: Just learned that this specific purse was purchased in Bulgaria exported from Turkey, then traveled to Bucharest, Romania before heading to North Carolina in the late 80s. It went with my mom up to NJ where it's stayed until it was sent to CA. Quite a journey!

I use a walking stick when I hike now because my balance is bad since the accident last year. I was lucky enough to find this cool one at a local craft fair. Please support local artists. They make some amazing stuff :)
