So, this is Miss Honey. Originally, she was to be my cat, but I started to have an allergic reaction to her.

Here's Miss Honey's story: One night, on the night of the first snow, my mom was smoking a cigarette and went inside afterward, but she thought she heard a baby crying outside. She went back outside, and there, tucked between the dumpster and the brick wall, was Miss Honey. She was a baby, probably just old enough to be away from Mama, and she was clean, skinny, and scared.

I got a call, as my mom lived in a different apartment than mine, in the same building, and she told me to bring her my cat carrier (I had a cat previously) and so I did, and when I saw her, Miss Honey hopped down from my mom's arms and into mine immediately. I wrapped her in a towel and cuddled her close to keep her warm. Poor thing was shivering. After searching for her owner- posters, checking for a microchip, everything - the vet said she was likely dumped (we didn't ask the vet what breed at the time, cause it wasn't a thought), and I decided I wanted to keep her. When I started having a reaction to her (I have an allergy to long-haired cats), I called my best friend, and she took her in. The rest is history.

Does anyone know what type of cat my best friend's cat is? The coloring is confusing, and her fur is super long.

There's been a little old lady posting about her missing cat on my local community facebook page since january. The cat is a black shorthair, no distinctive markings at all, and escaped her house, was trapped by someone, and "accidentally" released in an entirely different area--my area. She's posted regularly about how she's still looking for this cat for the last five months, with no success.

I usually top up my Strays' Bowl when I get home from work around five. I'm often in the yard for a while after, gardening and such. Afterwards, I lounge on the couch in the drawing room for a while, reading and letting my Stray Warning Systems tell me when the dinner guests start showing up. System One is Malice, who normally drapes herself over the arm of the couch like a Kraft American Single left out on a sunny day. Passing dogs are enough for her to perk up just enough to demonstrate she's not an invertibrate; stray cats coming all the way up to the Bowl get actual upright posture. System Two is Vice, hurtling full speed to slam himself belly-first against the door, upright to see through the window, meowing announcements in frequencies primarily audible to birds. This is, coincidentally, an exact opposite to what he does when there's a human person at the door.

Anyways, I started noticing a small black shorthair about a week and a half ago, and after getting a better look at him during a couple dinners, I contacted the lady looking for her cat. He's been running every time he catches a glimpse of me, but when she came--I told her to come at sundown, since that's the best time to try to spot him--he actually paused and didn't fully vanish when she called him. We're pretty sure it's the right cat, but after months on his own he's too scared to approach.

All of which is to say that I've now taken on the personal mission of sloooowly introducing myself to Spunky, so he can be trapped and returned to his very loving family. We're already making progress--he's not instantly bolting now--and I'm optimistic. Here he is, the missing milk carton man.

My tiny bit of Christmas cheer in my apartment.

Santa is on strike due to global warming.  All presents this year will be delivered by Sasha the Christmas Tiger.  Milk and cookies may not be sufficient.

Holy shit, Hellen!!!! This is beautiful!!!!!!

It won't be the same, but if you're selling digital copies, please lemme know!

It’s DONE! Weight of Radiance has had its finishing touches and is ready to sell. Price is $500+shipping, and I will ship internationally. I found a woodstove on facebook marketplace that I desperately want but do not need, and if Weight sells, that’s what I’m buying, because I can’t justify spending the money out of pocket. It’s gorgeous, I’ll post pictures if I get it. 

Weight of Radiance is acrylic, 24 inches by 36, and is officially approved by Malice and Vice. The colors are primarily black, white, cream, mustard, and burgundy. It has a lot of texture and it is good to touch, and unlike paintings in museums, whoever buys this can rub their grubby little mitts all over it! 

Please message me if you’re interested!

Oh my God. This is beautiful! So, are you doing commission at all?

I need some art for my walls... they be looking bare.

I showered, got ready for bed, booted up laptop #3 for job #3, and was suddenly struck by the sudden urge to paint. So then I went and fetched a spare black canvas from the garage attic, found some chalk, and gave myself half an hour to get the idea roughed out. And also got paint on my bathrobe, dangit. 

And bonus, the supurrvisors.

Vintage lantern. Metal. $65. On Facebook marketplace. Maybe I can haggle them down.
