Since we still have plenty of snow on the ground (for once in my adult life, it feels like December!! 💖), I took Kaya out to see how her winter furs fare in a Wisconsin winter! ❄️ We also took Tatlo and Three Legs 🐕 along so they could run and play in the snow.

BONUS:

ICE invaded my home state of NC last week. though ICE has shown they'll arrest anyone who stands up to them, people of color are disproportionately affected by these attacks on our communities.

siembra NC has been leading the charge to blow the whistle on ICE and keep our loved ones safe. i wanted to honor their efforts and have a space to talk about this on my doll blog, so i painted and hand-sewed this chinga la migra patch onto an AG shirt for lluvia, my maritza doll. lluvia's family is from oaxaca, and the background of this image features the skirt portion of a huipil set which is worn by oaxacan women on special occasions and in ceremony.
