I can finally share that a Tiny Towns sequel is in the works at @alderaceg.bsky.social, with gorgeous illustrations by @elisabethalba.bsky.social! Here's a WIP of her cover illustration: several critters selling herbs, tinctures, and crafts from a caravan on its way to a tiny town 🪻🍂🫚🌸

A small patch of chicory has been developing in our yard for years and I've always mowed around it, but this is the first year we've had more than 3 gangly plants. It may be a weed to some, but I love this perennial and its months of abundant blooms!

Recently I've been trying something new when it comes to pitching online. Instead of putting all the info for a game on my sellsheet, I've been also making a video overview for each game and pairing them when I submit to publishers. I feel like this has two big advantages:

Our little garden isn't much yet, but I'm happy with it! This is our first time growing garlic (thanks to our neighbor giving us some bulbs last fall), and I am determined to make onions work this year. The plot in the ground is called the "Our garden store only sells bags of 45 bulbs" plot.

My phone was 6 years old and showing signs of slowing, so I grabbed an open-box Moto G for $165. Despite the price it surpasses my 2019 phone in most ways, but best of all: YOU CAN PLUG HEADPHONES INTO THE **HEADPHONE JACK** AND USE THEM AS A RADIO ANTENNA 🤯

Latest bagel batch was my best yet, though they're still too chewy. Gonna keep working at them! What other baked goods or recipes are worth it to make from scratch? My to-learn list is: Veggie stock Burger buns English muffins Pizza Garlic bread Pretzels Napoleon cake Open to suggestions!

It's only a matter of time. I can understand the temptations of using generative AI. The shortcuts you can take. Suddenly being able to visualize ideas instead of spending valuable time with tasks you are not able to do yourself or pay someone to do for you. 🧵...

Pizza loaf! My latest new-to-me bake, from the amazing book Beard on Bread (by James Beard, of course). The dough started out horribly. Added flour a bit at a time and kept kneading until it was workable. I had low expectations but it was pretty tasty and fluffy!
