I wish I had thought of this earlier cause its just adorable. I have some solid color bears made in a bunch of colors and just didn’t go farther with it till today. I’m making more for sure!

I decided to seal the paint with uv resin cause whoops my gloss dried up. Probably all for the best cause the uv resin cures so much faster anyway. Boo bear will be ready to go in just a few minutes.

I secretly want to keep her 😭

✨🌜HookN20🌛✨ @hookn20.bsky.social · 17h

If I can get a gloss coat on the face and remember to grab her tomorrow this adorable gummy teddy bear will be at the festival tomorrow! She’s so cute!

Handmade resin teddy bear about 4 inches tall. Her head is orange and her body is black. She has a necklace that says BOO with black and purple beads. Her face is painted, but not yet sealed.

Pfffft sometimes I forget why I don’t attempt to make my favorite Turkish meals. Then I look up a recipe and immediately remember Tarhana has a prep time of ‼️5 DAYS‼️

First episode was great, but same. I wasn’t emotionally ready from the start yesterday, so I rewatched a bit before finishing the last hour so I could get back into it. I can’t wait to learn more about the characters. I’m glad I’ll have more time to watch episode 2 when it’s available.

✨🌜HookN20🌛✨ @hookn20.bsky.social · 1d

No spoilers! I’m about to finish listening to the last hour of CR campaign 4 ep. 1. So, in a few days I can watch ep. 2, in peace, and know what the hell is going on. I’ve been half watching and half listening while working on projects and cooking. I’m going to stay on top of it this time!

I made a new QR code sign for Saturday. I think it turned out kinda cute, why have I been ignoring Canva this whole time it was so easy. Also please come to the Pumpkin Festival this Saturday!

We code sign, payment sign and my business cards.

I need an entire light up shelf to house like an infinite number of magical glowing potions. I love them so MUCH! AGHHH!

Thank you! I’m trying not to keep them all 💖

Sup bitches! Here, have some low effort photos of some of my potions as I sit on the sofa hoping for the energy to get up and do stuff.

Trinkets for life ✨🧪✨

Potion in blue pink and white, the blue liquid glows inside.

Potion in purple, green and black. There are multi colored beads and glowing moons in the liquid.

I’ve managed to finish 18 of these. Each is different, made in 4-5 color combinations so far. I might finish 5 or 6 more potions tomorrow and then move on to some crochet projects that need finishing as well. I wish I had time to make tags for the potions. They are a lot more work than they seem.

✨🌜HookN20🌛✨ @hookn20.bsky.social · 4d

Yessss! So brave with the phone call! It’s such a good feeling with the person on the other end is chill and helpful. It makes all the difference.

Ya I totally get it we’ve talked about trading in the VW too. Cars are such a money grab necessity. I could gush about the Saturn all day I loved every inch of it! But, I also love the truck I have now and it’s also paid off so I want to keep it for as long as possible.

✨🌜HookN20🌛✨ @hookn20.bsky.social · 4d

I feel your pain. My husbands car is a VW.

One of the most reliable cars I ever had was my Saturn. It looks exactly like this, but beat up and sun damaged now. I sold it to my brother for $2 like 10 years ago and he still uses it in the summer. Cheap to fix for the most part, miss the simplicity.

I’m making potions!! 🧪

The plan for today is to do some housework (just a little bit) then work on my potions and finish up a couple dice bags. Then pour a few more resin trinkets. Then maybe I’ll unload my bins from the truck to take inventory in the morning. Let’s see how far I get 🤞

My largest single sale was over $60 and I averaged around $21 per sale. Unfortunately I did have a small amount of theft, but I didn’t call anyone out on a $4 trinket. I can’t see everything all the time and missed a pair of earrings walk away. All in all I did good and liked the event.

✨🌜HookN20🌛✨ @hookn20.bsky.social · 6d

Yes, I don’t intentionally make items for children, but my booth has small things and some are suitable for kids. I sold mostly to moms getting trinkets and 20s-30s aged women. I was expecting that and I think some of my plan worked where moms also bought my earrings. Everything <$50 start at $4

This week I will be bulking up my table with more trinkets for next Saturday’s Pumpkin Festival market and also panic thinking about a possible Christmas market around Black Friday or the week after.

Narrator: how many trinkets can one bitch make? Tune in this week to find out!
