Forest cailleach fascinated by the natural world, living in a suburban homestead in Canada.

I mostly post about my myriad of hobbies, including illustration, knitting/crochet, mini painting, game development, cooking, hiking, camping, gardening, homesteading and more. ✨

Questions + conversations are welcome. I love sharing my pastimes and learning from others!

By day, I'm a marketing/e-commerce human at a tabletop game company. Opinions are entirely my own.

The garden is GIVING this year. A bumper crop of snap peas just finished up, and now we're deep in zucchini, blueberry & yellow beans.

Pickling some of the beans and freezing a lot of the berries for year-long enjoyment, but enjoying everything fresh as much as possible.

Do you find yourself increasingly frustrated with the state of the world by have no outlet for your nihilistic tendencies without breaking something in your home? Are you tired after a long day of protesting for the rights of underserved people and need something mildly mindless to work on while you stream either the latest season of Severance for the first time or the third season of Gilmore Girls for the fifth time? Do you not want to cooperate or be complacent with the fact that we are watching history in the making, but not in a fun and freedom-y way? Well do I have the project for you!
