Latest reread: Memory, by Lois McMaster Bujold. Not a perfect book, but a banger anyhow. (Five stars) I don’t usually reread these books out of order, but this was on my mind because I’ve spent a lot of time at the doctors office, in MRI machines, etc in the last few months.
Dark and stormy cookies from nyt recipes. As someone who barely drinks any more i love the idea of turning cocktail flavor combos into cookies. These are good, and they look gorgeous:

Last day of #memademay , and I found something i haven’t worn yet this month. It’s a tunic loosely based on the Gemma tank.
Terrible photo of a wonderful jumpsuit: this is my custom (@starelaine.bsky.social -drafted!) jumpsuit that i wear every time i have to stand up in public, basically. #memademay
Wearing plantain and Arden again, matching my hotel room walls exceptionally well :-) #memademay
#memademay sauvie dress repeat, it’s finally hot and this is THE best choice for hot weather. The fabric is so light (lady McElroy lawn) and the shape is perfect
Arden pants making a reappearance. Today is a travel day so I’m layersmaxxing to optimize my thermal flexibility ;-) #memademay
I adore pin tucks, i wish they didn’t take forever to sew because shaping this dress by putting in properly-placed pintucks was one of my favorite projects ever. This is self-drafted, inspired by a commercial dress which i desperately wanted and could tell was not going to fit me right. #memademay
#memademay the one billionth cold day: found a poison oak sweater deep in my dresser that i haven’t worn yet this month!
Found a sweater i haven’t worn yet this month! This is a soldotna crop. #memademay
