One more bookish hoop!

Shadow boxes are up next, but here's one for the readers who finish one book and immediately grab another. Do you give yourself time to feel all the feels or do you jump into the next one asap?

While we're on the subject of books, here's a cute little kitty taking a bookish snooze.

First show of the year!

#Katsucon sets up corner spots with an inside angle, which turned out to be perfect for my bulletin boards. I usually put my mystery bags on a little riser on top of the table, but this display mode was killer! The most mystery bags I've sold at previous shows was 28. This weekend? SIXTY-THREE!!! Now I'm frantically making more for AwesomeCon in 3.5 weeks.

P.S. Lighting is always atrocious in there and I forgot to turn on my own lights - sorry it doesn't look prettier!

Book Tropes Hoop Number Four

Where did my mojo go?!

I'm making stuff nonstop, but having a way harder time sharing it, which is silly, because who doesn't love getting some external validation to counterbalance the ole inner critic😝

Anyhow, here's another trope hoop, this time with ombre stitching - ooooh!

Book Tropes Hoop Number Three

I've realized this year that I really enjoy Second Chance romance novels. Because our love interests already have some backstory, the author can dig deeper into the emotions and connections - and odds are there might be some angst and a good grovel too! One I liked recently: Pugs and Kisses by Farrah Rochon

Book Tropes Hoop Number Two!

I just read a great romance that's more #datingcoach than #fakedating but it was still delightful! (Julia Song Is Undateable by Susan Lee, if you're interested)

Can't believe I almost missed posting with Today's Song!!!!

Anyhow, here's No. 1 in a series of Book Tropes.

I used to be 100% on the Enemies to Lovers train, but lately I've read several Friends to Lovers, and I think there's a lot more room for emotional development when there's already a solid baseline to start from. Hmu if you want recs!

I'm back at Retro World Expo! I knew I had a 10x10 space, but I didn't realize it was a corner so I changed up my booth on the fly.

July Me really thought she was committing to a regular posting schedule, but every six weeks or so probably isn't it. Maybe this time will be different???🤪😆

Another lyric I love😆

Speaking of not being at work...

Another six-inch hoop stitched on cotton with letter beads, sequins, and glass beads, plus glittery ribbon around the outside and a healthy dose of glitter added around the edge. This went home with some lucky soul at #toomanygames earlier this summer!
