Looksmaxxing Hans Christian Andersen for clout.
I finally filmed a new skit!!

I really appreciate that - thank you!

This is the same book! I am at this very moment editing Draft 6 for a resubmit request to a major publisher 🤞. Thank you so much for checking in!

Always the highlight of my day 🤣

Blood has been spilled this dawn

Child, Pointing to Bakery Prep Table: what’s that blood on the table back there??
Me, The Baker: oh that’s not blood. That’s melted cinnamon sugar from the cinnamon rolls
Child: That’s still blood. It’s the blood of a cinnamon roll.
Me:

Better believe it!

Fortunately it’s inside for winter but during the summer it was getting a lot of squirrel attention…I brought it in a little early for just that reason

The plant has been growing for about a year and the pineapple formed about 5 months ago.

A pineapple!!!

Pineapple progress!!

Some tit in a false mustache

Don’t be fooled! This is not a retouched historical photo of famous author Sir Arthur Conan-Doyle, creator of Sherlock Holmes. It is actually me!!!

Flat of a knife with a print left in it by slicing butter that kind of resembles snowy fir trees if you really want to see them

I sliced a piece off a block of butter and came up with a lovely little winter landscape

Caramel pecan rolls looking very decadent this morning

The same kid who wants to be Senshi for Halloween suggested pumpkin spice as the new flavor for pop tarts in the bakery. I bought him a nice wok to use for his costume. He’s more excited to cook with the wok than about trick or treating 😂❤️🥘

Portrait of the Artist as Igor Stravinsky

Missouri fall sky, 10/11/25, 8:20pm. Ya with me? Wherever you are? ❤️❤️❤️

I have the best neighbors. They came to buy cinnamon rolls this morning and were like “look what we found…do you want it?”
Love to be That Witch.

My beautiful neighbor

In a couple weeks it will be time to move inside, but in the meantime, I am pleased that everyone has had a very productive summer.

This is my kind of compliment

I love the ride to Ren Faire and the ride back when you stop for gas or a pre-game taco and you’re just wildly out of context ✨

Pancake leaf succulent thing. I very clearly do not know what this is, but it has chosen life, and is making little leaves.

I live the day when your languishing propagation chooses life and just pretends none of the last two weeks’ drama happened.

A bittersweet thing: my Great Aunt, who lives very far away from me, is beginning to lose her cognitive abilities, and so every time my brother goes to visit her, he has to tell her again that I have opened a bakery. He says she is very impressed and happy, every time.

It’s part of the gig! You don’t get to raise a foundling robin and collect antler sheds in your yard if you’re not giving back to the Dark Forest.

Red chicken coop door with muddy handprints smeared down it and some kind of witchy little bouquet of grasses stuck through the latch??

My kids are working hard to become the stuff of rural nightmare

Beautiful little yellow pear with leaves still attached

That gorgeous pale green to caramel brown gradation on a little pear

Pears are so beautiful. That palette. That shape. Those freckles.

A very clever and eternally thwarted bully dog and a lanky idiot Old English Sheepdog with a bad haircut.

If Pinky and The Brain were dogs.

Me wearing a poppy T-shirt

As we recover from the Eaton Fire, my Etsy shop is still my only source of income. These poppy shirts are all screen printed by hand in the closet of our temporary apartment!

Good lord I love a chatty child. Bring your social little toddler into the bakery - I want to hear what their dog’s name is and what they ate for breakfast. You will be hard pressed not to leave with a free pastry. Absolutely makes my morning.
