Despite the absolute shit show today has been so far, I'm still beyond happy that this fuzz ball has been in my life for 17 years. She even had her annual checkup today and the vet said she's doing amazing for her age and let's keep making her comfy. Happy birthday Zakara. I love you, sweetie. 💚🐾

I've been reading some audiobooks on Lakota history/culture by Joseph M. Marshall III. The oral version of these books just feels right, especially since they are read by the author himself.

I started a free newsletter on Substack. I decided to kick things off (more or less) with a book club, and we are going to start with reading Active Hope. The "schedule" is spread out to give people more time. I hope you'll join me!

Final harvest. Had a bountiful tomato yield this year, and had plenty to dehydrate and home can.

Prepped signatures for more journals last night. I love the process of book/journal making. In a time where so many value speed and rushing to complete a product, I savor the slow, intentional process of creating something by hand.

I need to make sure I have better lighting in the future, but the sewing is complete! Two complete books (other than trimming threads and maybe embellishing the spines.

Working on some handmade books. So far I have the signatures made, the fabric prepped for the covers, and the book board cut out.

Being creative has always been something that grounds me, and it's more important in my life than ever.
