Happy new week! 💜 Sharing these vibrant tribal style hoops with you today. We need a bit of colour after all the dreary weather. Find them here: folksy.com/items/830022... #Accessories #handmade #festival #shopindie #folksy #MondayMood

Good morning, #bluesky I have just listed a new miniature painting,this adorable little hedgehog! He's not too miniature at 10cmx10cm so can still be hung on a little empty wall space. earthandsandbyanna.etsy.com/listing/4321... #hedgehogs #animals #MHHSBD #bsnm #Art

Realised I'm running low on boxes, go to price up some more, and their website has a moody about log in attempts and locks me out. (I have plenty to ship eveything currently ordered, but I would quite like to not run short after that. I need to run away to the coast and stick to wallpapers!)

If it's traditional knits you prefer on a wee one. What about this lovely bright red cardigan. The design can be made in other colours and sizes. Just get in touch for details. buff.ly/mzX53iz #MHHSBD

Something a little fishy for #BlueSkyMonday "Koi Carp" Thread painting - hand embroidery artwork. #WildlifeArt #HandEmbroidery #embroidery

Thank you everyone sharing - 4 days to go including today, I'm making progress but still a way to go. (Etsy working again, would much rather sell pendants if possible, please scroll down for the shiny things!) #Helpsky #Crowdfunding 💕💸

I just discovered this meme and I love it. Happy #PrideMonth to all my #LGBTQIA + friends!

Insomnia is one of the stupidest things ever. "I have much stress and a long to-do list, let me be knackered and whiny about it too." Anyway. Goal tomorrow is get half these parcels out and other half wrapped (I don't like to overwhelm the post office) and go from there.

Last batch of fidget pendants for a minute, my hands need a break. Gemstone options: oishiny.etsy.com/listing/1604... Dyed quartz: oishiny.etsy.com/listing/4306... Designed to twiddle, fidget, stim and relax on the go. Snap one up this week and get 20% off! #Handmade #Stim #Meditation

Though it feels strange to be sharing this right now, art is what keeps us going in hard times. Because survival is not enough. Anyway I have a new novelette up at @strangehorizons.bsky.social. It's called "View Window" and it's part of their 2026 fundraiser. strangehorizons.com/wordpress/fi...

I didn't sell many Pride lolly keychains at Cambridge Pride yesterday but possibly because my makeshift curse-the-wind display didn't make them easy to see lol. If you missed them at Pride you can still find them in my Etsy shop: abistevens.etsy.com?section_id=4... #ArtShop #bsnm #LGBTQIA

My printer sorta made the colors a little weird (I'll have to figure that out later), but I have some new little stickers to put in with orders!

Happy #BlackSpaceWeek to all those who celebrate!! As per usual, we’re starting off with our roll call. If you’re a Black person who does Space-related things, introduce yourself and tell us what cool things you do using the hashtag #BSW2025

I had this convo this morning from bed because I was too lazy to get up and type on a keyboard, but yeah. Something that has long bothered me is the truth we don't discuss enough: Publishers weren't designed to market to consumers & authors don't have access to the data to do it well.

The latest cat sofa is now up on my Etsy page... Along with other stuff... craftysharp.etsy.com

These are back in stock again! Also, I had one come off the printer with tiny cosmetic issues that do not impact how fun it is to play with, so if anyone would like that one goofy one, it's $15 off! thebrokencircle.etsy.com/listing/4320...

My thriller The Silent Places is on sale for $2.99 for the next couple of days (some stores might still be updating) because it's about rage, and I have rage, and you might have rage too. books2read.com/thesilentpla...

Pride yarn is up a little early! $5 per skein of pride self striping will be going to Point of Pride who help folks access gender affirming care #knitsky #knitting #crochet #yarn

Ooo! Just 4 days to go!!! Spent part of yesterday working on the short stories to go with some recipes (I sketched those out but they'll need testing on cool days). I will note that I said "micro story" but each one gets a bit longer than the last 🙄😅 www.kickstarter.com/projects/tra...

I've got bills to pay, and you've got demons to summon. Grab yourself 20% off everything now: oishiny.etsy.com Each pendant comes in a gift box with free international shipping. #Handmade #ShopIndie #DisabledArtist

Last month I spent 30 hours across 3 days playing Eclipse, a sci-fi larp inspired by Interstellar and Arrival. It was my first "full scale" larp, so I was anxious and excited to see if it'd live up to the hype. Not just the visual spectacle, but also the depth of role play. Here's what I found!

Someone just bought a new wallpaper - Walk To The Pier: ko-fi.com/s/c105649f18 This was a lovely day out - this section is from a quiet little corner of the beach, tucked away down the back of Square Tower in Portsmouth. #Portsmouth #Wallpapers #Photography

Fanfic folks - if you get a comment on AO3 accusing you of using AI, it's a bot. (Why, who knows. This post is from a couple of months back but I've seen another rash of upset authors this week. It's fake, spam, a scam, it's not you.) www.reddit.com/r/AO3/commen... #Fandom #Fanfiction #AO3

I have lots of lovely #teachersgifts but these two apple themed gifts are right on the nose. Mini apple ring dish, perfect size for a few bits and this apple miniature has an easel for desk display. earthandsandbyanna.etsy.com/listing/1224... #apples #teachers #holidays #MHHSBD #bsnm ##UkGiftAm

Sunday sunbathing ☀️ This is Arckle’s favourite spot by the fence - where he’s in prime position to ask us for herb treats! 🍬 Our little sanctuary is a safe haven and forever home for animals who we have rescued from slaughter, malnourishment & mistreatment 🌿 #animalsanctuary #rescueanimals
