Love, love, love. Through day and night, dawn and twilight, sunrise and sunset; ups and downs, highs and lows, good times and hard times, happy times and sad times; in joy, in sorrow - through it all, we are a team. ❤️ @blindwarriorsven.bsky.social (Photo by Trommelsphoto) #Newlyweds #Love #Marriage

Shass and Sven on a beach in evening light. They are standing close together with the ocean behind them and a wide, beautiful sky above. The sun is almost set, and the sky is filled with soft shades of pink, peach, orange and a little purple.
Shass is standing on the left and Sven on the right. They are holding each other closely and kissing. Shass is wearing a long, dark bluegreen dress that flows down onto the sand. The sleeves are caught by the wind and flowing out to the left. Shassies long, dark hair is gently moving in the breeze.
Sven is wearing a dark blue shirt with a small floral pattern and dark trousers. His arms are wrapped around Shass, while she holds him close.
They are standing in the middle of the beach, with the sand beneath their feet. Behind them, the ocean stretches out towards a calm horizon. The light and the colors are beautiful, the warm orange and pink tones of the sunset glow. (Description by Trommelsphoto)

September 26th, 2026. We did it. We actually did it. @blindwarriorsven.bsky.social, we did it we did it we did it! (Picture 1 by Mr. D. Findlow, picture 2 by Ms. S. van de Wege) #Love #Newlyweds #Marriage #WeDidIt #Teamwork

Shass and Sven embracing on a sandy beach with the sea in the background.
Sven, who has light skin, short brown hair, and a trimmed beard, stands behind Shass with his arms wrapped around her waist, leaning his head gently toward her with a soft smile.
Shass, who also has light skin and long brown hair with a streak of gray, smiles with her eyes closed and her head slightly turned toward him, giving a very relaxed, content expression.
She wears a flowing teal dress with a V-shaped neckline and draped sleeves, and on her head is a delicate, decorative silver headpiece with looping wire shapes and blue bead accents, including a dark oval stone set at her forehead.
Her hands rest over his forearms, and a simple wedding band is visible on the ring finger of her left hand.
He wears a short-sleeved button-up shirt with a blue, white, and gray floral pattern and dark trousers. (Description by Be My Eyes)

Two small yellow rubber ducks are dressed like a fancy couple and are sitting side by side on a low concrete ledge outdoors.
The duck on the left is dressed in a black felt bowlar-hat and black, heart-shaped sunglasses. It has a black fabric bow tie at the front and a small gold-colored chain around its neck.
The duck on the right is dressed like a bride. It wears a silver plastic tiara with decorative details on top of its head and pink heart-shaped over its eyes. Around its body is a full, light cream-colored tulle skirt sprinkled with tiny gold dots, and around the neck is a string of little white pearls with a single larger pearl pendant hanging in front.
Behind them is dark soil with some green plants, and beneath them is rough, weathered concrete, so they look like they were posed together in a small garden area. (Description by Be My Eyes)

Messy stitchuation spotted! Needle-tech acquisition status: In progress. Skill-level: Extremely questionable with room for improvements, but technically more than 0. #Needlework #Fibrecrafts #Embroidery #PracticeMakesPerfect

A blue knitted practice swatch covered with colourful flecks and several embroidery experiments in cream and black thread. The stitches include a rounded black outline, cream satin stitches, cream backstitches, and a black square made with straight stitches. Loose lengths of cream, black, and blue yarn surround the swatch, with a green tapestry needle resting underneath it. (Description by ChatGPT)

COVER REVEAL! Presenting Coffee & Conjuring, Book 2 in the Arcadia Falls series of small town witchy Romance! You can read all about it in the second slide. I can't wait for y'all to meet Mr. Fluff. And the hot MC, code name HORSE GUY. Preorder here: www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/745677...

Coffee & Conjuring is purple with a blue waterfall, a girl and a guy, a pocket watch, some horseshoes, some coffee cups, some books, and an enormous orange cat named Mr. Fluff. It also contains baby raccoons, but they didn't make the cover.

The book description reads:
In this cozy witchy rom-com from the New York Times bestselling author of Books & Bewitchment, a burnt-out young woman—with the help of her small town’s hunky local antiques dealer—works to turn an abandoned hardware store into the coffeeshop of her dreams.

Anxious and overworked, Cait Wolfe lives a high-pressure life as a graphic designer with her fluffy orange cat in Cumberville, Alabama. Things are hectic but sustainable. . . until the creep from work who simply won’t take “no” for an answer moves in down the hall and causes her to lose out on a big client.

Cait knows she needs a change. So when her sister invites her to come to Arcadia Falls, where free lodging, an inherited hardware store, and a magical legacy await her, it’s an easy “yes.”

Except . . . her new property is in dire need of a makeover, and Cait’s not sure her frazzled nerves or her stretched-thin finances can survive the renovation that will give her life the reset she so desperately desires and turn a hoarder situation into a livable apartment and a cozy coffee shop. Lucky for Cait, laid-back local picker and part-time cowboy Brendan McGillicuddy is more than happy to help her fix up the place—and to teach her how to relax while he’s at it.

When I was born, due to too many complications to list, doctors told my Mother that I would be very lucky to make it to my second Birthday. Today, I am 32 years old. Talk about beating the odds, huh? I can't think of a better way to (virtually) spend it, than with these two. :) @shass.bsky.social

Three adults standing close together in a conference hallway, smiling at the camera.
On the left is a woman with light skin and long brown hair, wearing a multicolored sleeveless top and a long blue skirt. She is holding a white cane with red markings in her right hand, and a yellow lanyard with a dark badge hangs around her neck that says "Competitor".
In the middle is a man with light skin and very short brown hair, wearing a black-and-white patterned collared shirt and dark pants. He is shorter than the others and has a yellow lanyard and badge that says “Competitor” at the bottom.
On the right is a taller man with light skin, short brown hair, and a beard, wearing a gray polo shirt, dark shorts, and black shoes. He has a backpack on and is also holding a white cane with red markings in his right hand; a yellow lanyard with a badge is around his neck.
They are standing on a carpet with circular patterns in a large, well-lit conference room.

Another huggable beastie has seen the light of day. Say hi to Sprinkles! What she is? Huggable is what she is! The rest is in the eye of the beholder. #LoomKnitting #Loomknittingsky #Knittsky #Yarnsky #Softie #amigurumi #amigurumisky #Yarncrafts #Hobbiibabysnuggleprint

A chonky soft toy knitted in a speckled yarn is lying on its belly on top of a warm brown couchback, facing to the left. It's very catlike, but its ears are large and slightly longer than a cat would normally have. It has big blue eyes, a red velvetty nose and a long, swishy tail. The yarn is white in the basis with speckles of colour throughout: pink, turquoise, yellow, orange. The softie is resting its head on its front paws, but the back pegs are hanging down alongside the couchback, which means we see the left one in this picture since the other is behind the couch.

In this picture, the soft toy is lying crosswise over the couchback instead, facing the camera. She looks like she just jumped up from behind the couch and belly-flopped onto the couchback. Her front legs are now dangling down the couch cushions and we can see her face more clearly. Her ears are floppy and refuse to stand straight like a cat's would.

The soft toy is now sitting on the couch, still facing the camera. Her legs are arranged neatly, with the front legs placed in front of the chest and belly, supporting her as she sits. Her speckled tail is curving along the left side of her body.

"What is your favourite part of your job?" the reporter asked. "That's a tough one," said the book. "For me, I would say being re-read." "Because it shows you were loved?" "No, you can feel that at a first read. It's that I can show more than the first time round." "It's more intimate?" "Yes."

Gorgeous calico cat-queen lying smack on top of a work-in-progress loom-knitted scarf on a wooden coffee-table. Her body covers most of the multicoloured, just started knit. A strand of yarn trails from the knit to a ball lying nearby. The blue, purple, pink, orange and green of the yarn contrast nicely with the calico's white, black and brown fur.

Inlägget är märkt EFTERLYSNING ‼️ och förklarar att en liten virkadfigur som heter Bibbi är ensam kvar och behöver sällskap.

Young woman cuddling an orange tabby cat on a dark sofa.
She has light skin and straight brown hair pulled back, with eyes closed and a relaxed, content expression, resting her cheek against the cat’s head.
The cat is medium-sized with short orange fur and faint stripes, eyes closed, and a calm, peaceful expression.
A small round bell hangs from the cat’s collar at the neck.
The woman is wearing a black T-shirt with a light-colored printed image partially visible on the front.
In the background, an indoor room with light-colored walls and a wooden ceiling is visible, along with a couple of framed pictures on the wall. (Description by Be My Eyes)

A woman with light skin and dark brown hair holds a black-and-white cat in her arms.
Her hair is tied back in a low ponytail, and her eyes are closed as she presses her face gently against the top of the cat’s head, giving the impression of a kiss or nuzzle.
She wears a light gray T-shirt with horizontal, slightly darker gray stripes across the chest and sleeves.
The cat has medium-length fur that is mostly black with a white chest, white front paws, and some white on the face and underside.
The cat has bright yellow-green eyes, a small black nose, and a gold bell on its collar at the front of its neck.
The cat is held upright against the woman’s chest with its body turned slightly to one side, appearing calm and relaxed.
In the background, part of an open interior door and doorframe are visible, along with pale walls and another closed door, suggesting an indoor home setting. (Description by Be My Eyes)

A woman with light skin and long, wavy brown hair with some gray strands is sitting outside, holding a calico cat on her lap.
She is wearing a sleeveless dark navy top with lacy straps and a light blue, full skirt that spreads over her knees.
The calico cat has long fur in patches of white, orange, and black, with a fluffy tail stretched out along her lap.
The woman is slightly bent forward, looking down toward the cat with a gentle, focused expression while using both hands to pet or adjust something near the cat’s head.
They are positioned in a small outdoor area against a wooden fence; there are some green plants growing at the base of the fence and a section of weathered, slightly rusty metal paneling behind them. (Description by Be My Eyes)

The anthology vs. the first paragraph. Why do you want to read this story? 1. It's set in Arcadia Falls, the world of Books & Bewitchment. 2. It includes a lovelorn talking donkey. What more do you need? (Big thanks to @kerrielhughes.bsky.social and Jim Butcher for including me!) Available now!

The anthology Paranormal Payback is pictured against a dress I bought online that looked great on the model and makes me look like a Victorian sofa. You can also see my readers because apparently my eyes are giving up.

The first paragraph reads:
It all began with a donkey. A stubborn, dirt-spackled, flop-eared donkey ruled by his many appetites. A donkey named Gary. A donkey who, for some unknown reason, chose to rear up on his little black hooves and attempt to make sweet, sweet donkey love to the booted foot of his beloved mistress, Keelie King, as she rode her palomino mare through the forest and contemplated revenge against the man who had hurt her sister.

I know the rise of conservativism and political fearmongering play into society's view of masculinity, but I'm so sick of men who use anger and cruelty to cover their fear and shame. Give me silly. Give me fun. Give me quietly reading a book. Give me knitting backstage. Give me quiet confidence.
