Oh, that looks good *adds to reading list*

You've already read what I'm finishing today (it's your latest 😂). I'm suggesting this recent read by Melissa F. Miller to everyone - I blew off a Saturday's worth of plans because I could not put this book down.

ebook: melissafmiller.com/b/tvWwr
The cover of an amazingly good book titled "cut off from sky and earth". It's written by melissa f. miller and is one of the best books I've read in a long time.

It was so good.....

Nap time.
Perfectly cooked turkey breast. The turkey is sitting in a pan of broth and drippings, and the skin is baked to a perfect and crispy brown. The secret to getting it to look like this is to make one every thanksgiving and also at least one or two more times during the year for 40 plus years. After the first 100 or so it gets easier.

There sure are. I stumbled upon a book here that sounded interesting, and my local branch happened to have it, and I went in just to grab that one book, and then I glanced at the staff rec shelf, and then I glanced at another shelf on the way out, and then this happened 🤣

Descriptions in alt text
Three books from my local library. Death on a Winter Stroll by Francine Matthews is a murder mystery set on Nantucket in the Christmas season during Covid. The Disordered Cosmos by Chanda Prescod-Weinstein who is on BlueSky as @chanda.blacksky.app She is a Theoretical Astro/Physicist, the book is "a vision of the universe is vibrant, buoyantly non-traditional, and grounded in Black feminist lineages". Exposure by Ramona Emerson is a thriller featuring a Native female forensic photographer with the Albuquerque PD, and the story is about a serial killer targeting Native people.

Bats are important garden visitors who love to eat night insects like moths and mosquitoes. Give them a home, water, and flowers that stay open at night, like sunflowers.

Handmade bat and sunflower jewelry make excellent gifts for gardeners.

Thinking about gifting yourself a bottle of tequila for the holidays? Your tequila drinks would look extra-special with a fancy garnish holder 🍹

This sterling silver cocktail pick set is inspired by a song about a village that's named after a cocktail.

Unlike the price of coffee, the price of these coffee ring dishes hasn't gone up.

I scored an amazing deal on copper a while back, and I'm still working my way through the pile, so I've never had to raise prices on my ring dishes 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀

If you're that person who dresses in Christmas stuff from the day after Thanksgiving to December 26th, you might need one of these to complete the look.

#HandmadeJewelry #EastCoastKin #ChristmasJewelry
Three copper cuffs with Christmas holiday designs impressed in the copper. The top one has a series of bells draped from boughs, the middle one is angled lines of varying length so it looks like a candy cane, and the bottom one is assorted gift boxes, pine decorations, and lit candles. The background is red with green pine branches, chandy canes, and small ornaments.

If you follow me, you know I've made a lot of different bird-themed jewelry and accessories lately. Here's my favorite, not just a bird - it's THE bird 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂

I made a LOT of owls for my Garden Collection. The smallest owl is so tiny I used it for both earrings and cocktail picks.

Hours and hours spent picking out stones and critters and designing and making bezels and pressing images and cutting and filing images and texturing sheet metal...

And then comes soldering day and I finally feel like I'm accomplishing something.

Sterling silver jewelry I'm making that is almost done. Some of the designs still need cut out and sanded, others just need bails added and the stones set. Unless noted otherwise, these will all be necklaces. Top row: -an impression of a squirrel standing on it's hind legs is on a round medallion style shape. Below the squirrel is a green-black turquoise stone. - an impression of a rooster crowing. Above the rooster there's a bright yellow citrine gemstone, meant to represent the sunrise. - A hair fork with a raised moosehead design against a background of mountains, trees, and a lake. Bottom row: - A bear walking with mountains in the background.below the bear is a large square stone with a design that looks like water and rocks. This is meant to represent bears feeding on salmon in rivers. - A cluster of four similar necklaces. Each is oval with a texture meant to evoke reeds in a pond and each has a design of a pond creature on the bottom and a green gemstone on the top. The pond creatures are: lizard, dragonfly, frog, and wasp - Raised design of a chick above an oval stone that is speckled, this is inspired by "which came first, the chicken or the egg?"

Tiny Flower Basket earrings and necklace. So much detail in such a #Small piece.

#BlueSkyArtShow #EastCoastKin #HandmadeJewerly #BSNM #FlowerBasket
A pair of earrings and a pendant. All are the same design and are made from silver. Each is a tiny basket that flairs out from a small base, and there are decorative lines on the basket. In the basket there are three flowers with four petals each. The basket has a small u shaped handle above the flowers. There's a hole inside the u shape, on the earrings the wire goes through the hole and on the pendant a jump ring goes though the hole. I'm holding these on my fingers to show scale, and the finger holding the pieces is a size 11, so these are really small!

For the tipsy night crowd, a tiny, tipsy martini glass with one olive.

I tend to make larger pieces, but once in a while I find something #Small that's so cute I simply must make it. This little glass is only 1/2 inch tall.

#BlueSkyArtShow #EastCoastKin #HandmadeJewerly #BSNM #Martini
Sterling silver pendant on a chain. The pendant is a martini glass with a single olive garnish. It hangs at an angle, hence the "tipsy".

Holy crap.

The Bob Ross painting is up to $901,000.

For reference, earlier this month PBS auctioned 3 Ross paintings to raise funds. The total sale price for ALL 3 was $662,000.

John Oliver has the best fans!

This is from Portland Maine between 11:41pm and 11:55pm. Residential neighborhood with street lights and brightly-lit apartment building next door, so all my eyes could see is a gray haze. My android camera, using night mode, got these. Most pics facing NE, last one is facing S.
