🍒 Happy 29th Birthday Simon! 🍒

Have you heard? @rainbowrowell busted out her signature rainbow dress and green heels and hit the road for the East Coast leg of her Cherry Baby book tour. As soon as Baz heard the good news, he treated Simon to a surprise birthday book signing at their local romance bookstore! Like all her fans, both boys got in the spirit with the most adorable cherry attire.

A huge shout out to Friends to Lovers in Old Town Alexandria, just outside of DC. I popped in yesterday, asked them for "an unusual favor," and they were thrilled to let me takeover for my doll photoshoot. (Also, they would be so happy to host you Rainbow! It truly is the cutest bookstore.)

Happy Birthday, Simon Snow!

Confetti Cake | Cookie Butter Pastry Cream | Cream Cheese Frosting

I went big on whimsy this year! I wanted to make up for the lack of happy birthdays that Simon had growing up. And what could be better than a dragon wearing a tiny hat sitting on top of a confetti cake!

Happy Birthday @thewholelemon!

To celebrate this most special of days, may I present Watford's finest lemonade stand.

Is this a childhood friends AU? Yes. (Aren't they adorable?!)

Does Fiona really like lemonade at all? No. (She plans to spike it later...)

Will Fiona support any and all of Baz's ventures anyway? Absolutely. (She was also necessary for scale. lol)

Happiest of birthdays, Jenny!!! You are the best human being and deserve all the fluffy goodness on your day. I hope these babies (which are already on their way to your mailbox!) bring you as much joy as they brought me to make. I am so glad we became friends and I cannot wait to hug you in person. 🩷🍋🩷

Find out more about these teeny tiny dolls below the cut.

Fun Fact: My standard pattern produces a 12-inch doll (like Fiona). These babies are only 8-inches tall! 🥹

Although not much smaller than a standard doll, working in such tiny proportions was deceptively difficult! All pieces had to be hand sewn instead of machined so I could maintain the body variations. (Baz is still taller, Simon and Penny are still thicker.) To make dressing them slightly easier, I gave all three dolls button joints, so their arms are fully pose-able. Finally, because all the gorgeous details cannot be captured in a picture, have a video, too!

Happy Pride! 🌈

I've always wanted to make one of those over the top lambeth cakes and I love the idea of Simon picking up baking!

Happy Pride! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

The whole gang made it out to pride this year and what better way to celebrate queer joy than with a proposal? Baz planned the entire thing, including the amazing speech he promptly forgot in the thrill of the moment. That's okay. Simon said yes before Baz could even get any words out anyway.

(Close-ups of details below the cut because I am SO proud of everything I made!)

Yes, Simon's overalls have functional buckles and a functional front pocket on the bib. Baz sports real pockets, as well as a magnet in his hand that allows him to hold the tiny ring box with the gold band. (It has a magnet at the base!)

I painstakingly hand-sewed every sequin on Shep's jacket, Niamh's got a functional sports bra under her tee and a functional rainbow belt, and I commissioned Agatha's top since mini-crochet is one of the few skills I have not picked up yet.

Happy Pride, y'all! May it be filled with friends, found family, and love.

When I was in line at @rainbowrowell's book signing last week, I asked Mr. Purple to remind me to show Rainbow my WS tattoo. And he promptly forgot.

It also occurred to me that I don't think I ever shared my tattoo on here. I worked with my usual artist to do her own take on the artwork in WS. I love it and I don't get nearly enough comments from strangers so I can talk about it!

Happy birthday, Emo Shit 🖤

And a happy birthday, @rainbowrowell as well! I’m only slightly sorry for the pun. Thank you for sharing the stories of these nerds with us!!

[rainbowrowell]

I feel like mages must be especially disgusted by bad puns. Like, do puns affect their magic? Has Penny ever punned 🤔

[monbons]

Happy Birthday Baz!

For his 29th birthday, Baz is spending some quality time with Simon, who is---obviously---spoiling Baz rotten. May all his birthdays be defined by the most domestic of fluff.

And happy birthday to @rainbowrowell. There are no words to describe how much we all love this dramatic little vampire. Thank you for sharing him with us! May your birthday also be full of domestic fluff!

Happy Birthday, baby boy!

Opened Twisted Wonderland today and it informed me that today is the birthday of one of the characters — which made me realize there’s a far more important fictional character to be celebrating today! So this is inspired by the Cozy Clothes birthday showcase in that game~

Happy 29th Birthday to My Beautiful Husband

Y'all know what that means.

Happy Birthday, Baz Pitch!

Chocolate Mousse | Chocolate Cake | Cheesecake Filling | Oreo Crunchies

I wanted to do my own take on the cheesecake Baz eats in Wayward Son. I originally thought it was made up since it's just called Extreme, but much to my surprise, it's real! It's the Oreo Dream Extreme Cheesecake

Summary: When Baz picks up a birthday present for Mordelia at Knit Wits, his local specialty yarn shop, he ends up picking up much more than he bargained for.

[blackberrysummers]

Heeeey, happy Sunday, all! I’m trying to get this post made hastily before I have to join the virtual conference I’ve been at all weekend. I work at an animal shelter, and recently my job has been expanding in big ways that I’m not entirely on solid ground with, so here’s hoping I get a handle on it all soon and don’t in fact Ruin Everything.

Anyway, sorry/not sorry for all the Heated Rivalry reblogs lately. I’m obsessed and love every single post about the show, but I’m trying to be a little less obnoxious, I promise. What’s strange to me is that when I catch my breath and shift my thoughts over to my SnowBaz projects and this fandom in general, I don’t feel any less obsessed with them, either. This is very new to me because I’ve always been relentlessly monogamous with my ships. On the other hand, I’m not writing or even really reading Hollanov fics right now, just rewatching the season on a near-continuous loop like a very normal and healthy adult person.

I have been writing, but not as much as I would like. I’ll share a few sentences that (I think I can say?) will be in my upcoming CORB collab. Best not to share any context other than that :P

I stare at his back. I’ve only wanted to kiss Baz for a few hours now (no, I probably wanted to kiss him far longer that that, but I’ve only known that I wanted to kiss him for a few hours), and I already can’t stand it. I have to know if there’s any chance he might want the same thing. I have to know if he’ll let me see what colour lace is embracing his body today. “I wish you wouldn’t,” I reply, meaning that I wish he wouldn’t avoid me. All I ever want is to be near him, to have him in my sight and under my hands. How the fuck have I never figured this out before?

Baz turns around slowly and takes me in. I’m definitely behaving suspiciously. I feel like my bones are trying to work their way out from under my skin, and I can’t stay still. He hikes one eyebrow up to nearly his hairline, and my stomach drops. “I know it’s too much to ask that you self-regulate, Snow, but you’ve been even worse than usual lately. So, tell me: what’s got your knickers in a twist?”

Oh, fuck.

That’s me for this week! I hope everyone is doing well, and please spare a thought for me this week as I cry in my tea about the new (actually quite old) Android phone I have to carry with me everywhere now (Son: Whose Android is this?! Me: I don’t want to talk about my Android!!! Son: Oh.) Android users, I mean no disrespect. I’m sure the phones make at least as much sense as an iPhone once you get used to them, but I am not there yet.
