Since I've started here, I've come across many awesome creators and small business owners. With the holiday shopping season here, I figured it was about damn time to finally make a Starter Pack.

Fuck Amazon. Fuck WalMart. Fuck Target. Shop small if you can.

As of right now I’m whole body exhausted, but last night I managed to get 90% done pricing new items and also managed some other odd tasks. I have not yet worked on anything today. All morning I’ve been trying to find a lost cat’s family.

As if I didn’t have enough going on… the sweetest and thirstiest cat in the world wandered into our garage. We will try to see if we can get a chip read tomorrow if there is one, but she(?) is thin and dirty, I think she’s been outside for awhile. Absolute sweetheart. Please don’t cry all night.

I’m overthinking so I think it’s time to make a big waffle breakfast! My 3 cups of coffee just aren’t working hard enough!
I have 2 days to finish everything for vending on Saturday. I’m just letting you know that it’s impossible and I will struggle to come to terms with it.

Tuesday - do as much as I can
Wednesday - do as much as I can
Thursday - panic about dinner
Friday - last minute decisions and pack everything up

Paying the cat tax is easy, but it sure adds up fast! Charlotte takes this very seriously as you can see here. She inspects each bill carefully and with expert skill.

Market prep update: I now have 32 different items listed in Square with correct pricing, descriptions, and categories! I started working on my display yesterday too and I’m feeling a little better, but there’s still a lot to get done by Saturday.

New ornament design! I’ve finished exactly one of these. I have 6 more birds ready to go, but the bow takes awhile. I want to make other colors. 🧶 🎄

Question: should the chain be shorter? It’s 1 1/2 inches right now.

Yesterday I made a bunch of silly cat bookmarks. Most of the cats are white (super cute) but the black cat ones look like Charlotte and I want to keep one! 🐈‍⬛ 📚

The wood bookmarks are made by my husband and the charms are made by me! These bookmarks are walnut and willow.

I think I've done all I set out to do today! I even did laundry and showered like a good human! Very impressive 96/100 on the test too! Nice work today self we should do this more often. 😤
Ok one more coffee then I’ll put The Final Countdown on and get cracking on trinkets. I love weird action/sci-fi movies that both fail and succeed at entertaining me.

An old man turned ninety-eight
He won the lottery and died the next day
It's a black fly in your Chardonnay
It's a death row pardon two minutes too late

And isn't it ironic?
Don't you think?
I'll tip my hat to the new constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
Then I'll get on my knees and pray
We don't get fooled again

True
The Thing (1982) is a Thanksgiving movie.

Thought of it while prepping a Friendsgiving turkey today.

My holiday market items are turning out so cute right now!

In exactly one week I will be vending at the Deck The Halls event. I am overwhelmed with things to do and I’m so fully exhausted. If I can just finish the 18 or so trinkets on my desk so I can clear it off and take an exam I think that’s all I want from myself today. It’s still a lot!

2 teabag bookmarks are headed out!

Use things in the way they were intended… difficulty level ✨impossible✨!

I’m up at an ungodly hour yet again and I’m realizing I may have fucked up by designing too many new things and I may not have time (one week) to make many of the new things. I’m totally out of time to make snowflake earrings and that was the one thing I really wanted to do. Eeeep and Thanksgiving
November 21, 2025 at 11:35 AM
I bought some cute bow charms and I can’t find them, I’m losing my mind.

I fell asleep hard and early too because I’ve been up since 3am…

*banging* * bright lights* …
Enter both cats, the husband and a fucking mouse. Charlotte finally caught it after an hour, but ughh how do I get some quality sleep around here?

Watching TV and the WiFi is
Not good

I’m home. New phone is currently living in the Squirtle bag until I can get my hands on a screen protector and case. Omg now I want to revisit my pokemon bags again. Maybe I’ll make another (with more skills) after the holidays.
