Christmas gift from my parents last year:

A small cross-stitched piece which says “Where’s the ‘Unsubscribe’ button on adulthood”. The words are stitched in red on white cloth. There are little red hearts at the corners, and a scalloped border stitched in black. The piece is in a black frame; it is sitting on a well-laden bookshelf.

After a considerable bit of futzing with the thingy to get it to recognize an in-the-ballpark birthplace, here's what I got. I kind of like it?

A Pantone colour palette generated using astrological signs. The colours are Quest Purple (a medium purple), Deep Mermaid (a medium sea green), Sea Glass Mist (a cool pale green), and Wild Berry (a rosy pink).

Rhubarb Sour Cream Pie Recipe

4 cups finely chopped rhubarb
1 1/2 cups white sugar
1/2 cup flour
1 cup sour cream
Pastry enough for a single crust pie

Topping: 1/2 cups flour
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup soft butter

Mix rhubarb, sugar, and flour well; add sour cream. Place in unbaked 9-inch pie shell. Combine topping and sprinkle over rhubarb in shell. Bake @450°F for 15 minutes, then turn down to 350°F for 40 - 45 minutes (or until fruit is tender and filling is set); crumbs should be golden brown. Cool completely before cutting.

Loftable groceries!

The text of a plaque found on a statue in the game Dragon Age: Inquisition. It reads: “Grace of the Empire, North. This display reserved for Discourse Political, with attending professors of social matters from the University of Orlais. Note that all vendors of loftable groceries will be closed in the hour beforehand and for one-half after.”

BEHOLD THE PIE!

A pie, fresh out of the oven. The crust is golden brown, and the filling is covered with a crumble topping. (The filling is rhubarb sour cream.). It is sitting on a wire cooling rack, which is in turn sitting on a black countertop. An InstantPot is sitting next to it, keeping an eye on things.

Great girls’ day out with family, puttering around the Annapolis Valley. Many tasty ciders were bought, and a bottle of Blueberry Grunt moonshine. Also some pretty little sparkly things from a vintage sale!

A pair of vintage earrings and a small brooch. The brooch is a pair of scrolls picked out in sparkling clear stones and a sheaf picked out in sparkling red stones. The earrings are each one red stone and a trio of dangling silver beads.

First of all, holy shit. Second, because I am who I am:

A still image of Bill Paxton from the movie Twister. He is standing on grass and dirt to the side of a narrow paved road, and is gazing thoughtfully at an overcast sky. He is wearing a light blue button down shirt and a pair of really flattering blue jeans.

Same bookstore as this one?

A completed miniature bookshop, suitable for sitting on a full-sized bookshelf. It features what look to be well-stocked shelves, and a cozy-looking red armchair.

The grand finale! Diamine Inkvent Day 25: Myrrh the Merrier, a teal ink with blue shimmer and red-purple sheen. I will try to do some swatching of all 25 once I’ve figured out where I put my dip pens. 😁

Apropos of absolutely nothing at all, here’s today’s page from my excellent @effinbirds.com calendar.

The page for February 24, 2026 from the excellent page-a-day calendar created by Effin’ Birds (effinbirds.threadless.com). The page features a picture of an annoyed-looking bird with blue and white chest feathers with a little bit of red, black wings, and a black and white head. The caption reads “The time has come for this fuckin’ guy to vamoose”.

A two-for-one today (was mesmerised by the men’s skating last night and lost track of time): Diamine Inkvent Day 13 - Molten Basalt (dark blue with brown tones) and Diamine Inkvent Day 14 - Mittens (a cheerful bright pink with some lilac tones).

Diamine Inkvent Day 11: Brrr!, a “pigmented blue ink with shimmer”.

A. E. Fisher@bluenoselibrarian· Feb 10

Diamine Inkvent Day 8: I’m told this a very nice blush pink. A good one to save for springtime?

A. E. Fisher@bluenoselibrarian· Feb 6

Diamine Inkvent Day 6: Fir and Fog. Description says “dark grey-green chamelon shimmer ink” with pink shimmer, like pine trees in mist. Appropriate for this part of the world!

Diamine Inkvent Day 4: Smoky Tobacco, which appears to be a medium to darkish brown. The bottle tells me it’s scented (?!). Perfect for writing a tiny noir detective story, maybe? 😁

Diamine Inkvent Day 3: Carousel, the brightest of bright and cheerful reds. A good colour for a grey and gloomy day. ☺️

A small bottle of Diamine Carousel ink. The ink is bright red.

Diamine Inkvent Day 2 - a wee bottle of Energy, which i am told is a purple ink with golden-green sheen. Looking forward to trying this one, though I need better paper to take advantage of the sheening properties!

A small bottle of Diamine Energy ink. It is purple, and would have a golden-green sheen on paper when used.

I have managed to save my Diamine Inkvent calendar for the start of February - can’t wait to see what treasures await! Day 1’s ink is a 15 ml bottle of Celestial Skies - looks to be a shimmery/sparkly teal blue. (May try swatching it later, if I get ambitious enough to clean out one of my pens.)
