Crafting slowly since I'm trying to "document" my process on Substack so trying to make full tutorials of the whole decision making that go into designing &crafting a miniature fairy room. I've been really enjoying it since I'm working only with my traveling crafting supplies 🧶 & minimal purchases.
Current state of the fairy room, newest pieces are the cosy leafback armchair & sidetable. Miniature Fairy Room: dark brown parquet floor with dark green wallpaper with copper leave motif and twig wainscoting. A large reddish stone fireplace and a large orange door with decorative hinges. Centered in the room is an armchair in a mottled brown fabric and it's back shaped like a maple leaf. On the floor is a braided oval rug in brown, yellow and maroon. A stain glass window on the back wall is visible.

It is difficult to win an argument with a smart person. It is impossible to win an argument with an idiot.
The image is an X post by @RealJakeBroe from 7 hours ago, featuring a two-panel comic. The top panel shows a scientist pointing to a chart with a general trend and an outlier, illustrating a rational argument. The bottom panel depicts a person labeled "ANTI VAX" pointing to a similar chart, labeling it "CONSPIRACY THEORY" with "Lies" and an outlier called "IRREFUTABLE PROOF!!!", satirizing irrational arguments. The caption reads, "It is difficult to win an argument with a smart person. It is impossible to win an argument with an idiot."

My weekend post are tutorials on creating a Cosy Miniature Fairy Room. But on Wed, I wax philosophical (w/ fairy theme). These extras are a separate sub since not every crafter is looking here for optimistic discussion. But if you are emotional wrung out lately, this ones for you. tinyto.me/T6vv_GV

Was walking to school yesterday and noticed this leaf with the green still between the veins. I didn't have time to stop but I looked for it on the way home and it was joined by these 3 friends. Today's #BeautifulThings are Fall leaves on the Sidewalk.
Yellow autumn leaves a large and small maple like shape and a 2 of the fat but pointy variety. The interesting thing is that the round fat ones have a dark green between all the veins except right at the edge. All on a varigated grey background of roughly squarish cobblestones.

Close up picture of a full painted fairy door. It comes to a jaunty pointy top and is painted a wonderful pumpkin colours. The door frame is wide and follows the curve of the door. It’s painted a chocolaty brown and to either side has a few autumn leaves hand painted on. The door handle is a straight twig and the hinges are lyrically curved making a stark almost viny pattern against the door. If you had subscribed last week you would know how to make this. But if you want to learn how to install it in a Cosy Fairy Room, the tutorial link in the post will enlighten you. Top down view of a Miniature Fairy Room just getting its act together. A parquet floor has been laid but it’s bare wood. There is an obvious hearth shape blank on the floor where the fireplace is missing and the wainscoting area of the wall is merely black. There is pretty wall paper of a mottled green leaf motif with larger copper leaves throughout. On the right hand wall is the hint of a black outline that might be a door. If you want to find out how it got this way and what the next steps are, follow the link in the post to my tutorial and all its secrets will be yours.

This “deal” is a surrender that all congressional Democrats should reject out of hand. It’s bad policy that will raise healthcare prices and bad politics that gives the regime more power to do more harm. Make no mistake: As some Senate Democrats consider surrender, Republicans are losing this fight.

🚨 We’re hearing that Senate Democrats are on the verge of caving to Trump in another “Schumer Surrender.”

That means your Democratic senators need to hear from you right now.

Ezra Levin on Bluesky: “I'm hearing the same thing. Dems are nearing a surrender. I'm shocked. Largest protest in history + best election night in years + polling showing we're kicking their ass in public opinion. And now Dems may cave. It ain't over til it's over, so please do call if you've got a Dem senator.”

A smallish piece of scrapbook paper in a mottled green with a copper leaf motif laying on a purple cutting mat, a hand holding a black pen is pointing out a yellow dashing line superimposed on the paper. Why is that? What could it possibly be signifying? Might be a good miniature wallpapering tutorial that is linked in the post - I’d go check it out if I were you. A mysterious black painted miniature floor. On it a row of short boards in groups of three. Each section alternates directions. Further into the floor is a squiggle of glue delineating the next row of boards and a giant hand with a paint brush artistically is smearing the glue. This looks like a picture lifted from a really good tutorial, good thing it’s link above and you can find out all about this project there.

Being good and getting my Deutsch homework done first before playing with my crafting.
Focused on a black cup of coffee next to an open German language workbook. All of this sits on what is obviously a craft table - large purple cutting mat, various glue bottles in the background and what might be yarn and a emery board directly around the cup area. Yup, small spaces serving 2 masters.

Spotify is crashing HARD because of the boycott. Their stock dropped 11% in value over the last month. Let’s keep this going!

Tell everyone you know to boycott Spotify. There are plenty of alternatives that don’t run ICE advertisements and screw over artists.

We made it easy at boycottspotify.com.
Stock of Spotify over last month showing sharp decline, from near $700 in value to $615.
