having a very hard “i like the person in the mirror” day today

that feeling when you love getting gifts but you also don’t feel like you can accept them without giving one back in return so now you’ve opened up all your craft bins to figure out a gift for your friend 3 days before you see her again because she’s too nice and said she has a gift for you

This last Exchange marks a FULL YEAR of hosting Exchanges for the Oshamir fandom. It's been a lot of work but I hope it makes people happy to both create and receive Gifts.

All my love to @callistos.bsky.social and @satalxo.bsky.social who held the sinking ship together for me the last 2 Exchanges
The Oshamir Winter Solstice 2025 Exchange is officially over! Thank you to the Gifters, Giftees, betas, readers, viewers! The fandom lives in the shared enjoyment of our ship!

Please keep an eye out for the next exchange: Summer Solstice 2026!

crafting thoughts please.

i’m making a chain of moons and stars to hang up in the apartment. trying to decide the color scheme. Should i stay all white/opalescent? or mix in some other colors?

(gonna make multiple chains with different colors later but just trying to decide for this first one)

exciting Saturday night plans include taking a scalpel to the back of this frame because the it was superglued shut

i have “i could make that” disease so i’m trying to make a wire horse charm that i saw on a purse and my first attempt looks like the fat horse from bugs bunny 🤣🤣🤣

it’s lovely realizing that you’re wearing things you’ve owned for years and you like the you in the mirror

styles change+closets get purged+shopping sprees

but sometimes you pick out a high school necklace + a college skirt + a grad school shirt and these snapshots of your life = the current you

i’m considering trying to remove the cabinet doors in my kitchen at 12:01 am

prototyping some christmas earrings
December 22, 2025 at 8:14 PM
i am insane and decided to make some personalized christmas ornaments/suncatchers for my coworkers.

no one expects this, no one asked me for this. these took more time than they should have that i could have spent doing other things 😅

but i love being creative and i love gift giving!

(i was not gifted the stand but that’s ok!!! I’ll figure out how else to hang it!)

I am so grateful for where I am now in life. It’s not perfect but it’s infinitely better than last year

Dec 2024 I stress vomited and cried every day and coworkers hated me

Now I live near family in a job where I feel supported and was just given one of the most beautiful gifts I’ve ever received

if i had a nickel for every time i had a debilitating illness that doctors constantly tell me “that’s unusual for someone your age” i’d have two nickels

which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice
