Working on Pokemon designs lately! Here's a Mimikyu dress.

ALARM

I saw a great egg hoodie design on Twitter and it inspired me to try designing for the first time to make an egg outfit! Pair it with cute sneakers for maximum matchy matchies! 💜

My ACNH copy hasn't come yet, so I spent the morning improvising some little tarts while I wait for the blessed package.

I haven’t been doing much baking at home since the new year, and that’s because I’ve been spending all my free time painting a giant Kirby mural on our living room wall. I finally finished last night! It was a real learning experience, because I’ve never done wall art like this before or even painted on such a large scale.

It’s based on the The Landscapes of Dream Land merch line, which is extremely cute. 

I consider this to be the most perfect video of Everything Bagel in existence.

I was trying to coax our most reserved cat into playing some more and, well

I call it the Christmas Explosion cake.

Wee white chocolate Santa hopes you have a great day. 🎄

Everything Bagel's Criminal Record

We've had Everything Bagel for about six months now, and the one thing I haven't mentioned much is that he is an absolute little hellspawn. A big asshole gremlin. I've had kittens before, but he is something else.

Please note that he's *my* gremlin hellspawn and I'll never stop loving him as long as I live.

Anyway. Some crimes he's done:

- We paid a lotta money for new windows and within a week he'd figured out how to rip strips of insulation out from between them. We still don't know exactly how he does it.

- A couple of days ago he got into my fountain pens as I was cleaning them, which is already impressive because I did it in the bathroom explicitly so I could lock him out. He snuck in, hid, and subsequently got locked in. Then he had a party. He wound up leaving little black footprints all over my sink and toilet. He also dragged a bunch of my other stuff into the sink because reasons.

- He kept stealing the rubber nibs on the ends of our doorstoppers, and we kept putting them back on. Eventually he got annoyed and now he's taken to just ripping the entire doorstopper out of the wall and leaving it in my bed. This requires carrying it up a flight of stairs, by the way.

- It took less than three minutes for him to get these air plants down and in retrospect I'm not sure why I bothered.

- The worst crime of all, and the one he's known for among my friends: poop fetch. EB learned to play fetch pretty early, and he took to waking me by dropping a fetch toy on my legs while I was still in bed. It was cute. One morning the fetch toy was poop. A small, round, hard turd. It was the first of 3 he would bring me that morning alone.

This was the beginning of weeks of living in fear. He absolutely loves to bring us poopies, and he never understands why this action does not initiate a game of fetch. We have replaced all our litterboxes with high walled, top entrance boxes (which doesn't stop him but does inconvenience him) and we have stopped playing fetch for the most part. We still catch him with a nice round poop sometimes. At this point we just don't even know anymore.

- He annoys the other two so much that French Toast has recognized the only safe place is perched on top of an open door.

This has been but a small sampling of his crimes. In case you're wondering if he feels any remorse for any of it, a moment ago I asked him if he was planning more crimes and he farted on me.

Thank you for your time. Here's a mugshot.

I made sugar flowers for the first time in ages.

I’m easing into fall/spooky recipes with a simple one: pecan and rum pound cake with blackberries! Inspired by We Have Always Lived in the Castle. The sugar on the blackberries (probably) contains no arsenic.

Everything Bagel has made a habit of this.

The cats look very silly using their new litter box.

Peek-a-poo 💫

Lil boy, big boo

I got to do a cake with a nuclear theme and it was a very good time. The bride designed a rad topper and really let me have fun with the details (and the silver leaf).

Flavors included:

🥭 Passionfruit and fresh golden mango

🍌 Hummingbird (pineapple/banana/pecan/spice) and cream cheese

🍓 Fresh strawberry and banana pastry cream

Everything Bagel chewed through his collar and he's doin' a STREAK
