She keeps getting thrips, so I had to take drastic measures. If this works, I'll reunite all her parts when I repot.
She's getting an isolation pod this afternoon.

Watching the updated eras tour movie with my uncle, who happens to have a brain injury.
He just asked me if I think Taylor's as big a star as Linda Ronstadt.

Went to post these pieces and realized they aren't finished. Not a one of them.
I'll be swapping one of the pendants, then adding a dangle to the end of each extender chain for weight and a finished look.

I've had high anxiety AND a nasty bug, so you know what that means....
Hyperfixation hobbies!
I really want to work with precious metal clay again.

My new year's resolution is going to be bringing my jewelry business back from the dead. I miss it, and I have THOUSANDS of dollars in unused supplies just taking up space.
Maybe even a re-brand?

I need to talk to Gavin Newsom about this weather. This is California! Why is the high temp in the mid 40s?

My favorite toxic trait is that I make men regret being unaware of their surroundings.
Shove in front of me and you might hear "I guess it's your turn" or "I forgot, we must always yield to the men" in a fake southern belle accent.

My uncle's brain injury isn't visible, but there are signs.
He just spent the last 20 minutes describing the plot to a movie about couponing and had to take several breaks to laugh about it.

While I'm not quite ready to fully grow out my gray hair, I've come to the conclusion that I need to at least blend it a bit. So I'm sitting here with a fuckton of babylight foils just to cover it with a sheer brown.

Since I can't stream/game for the next 6 weeks or so, I'm considering some craft videos.
Like, maybe Taylor album inspired necklace sets?

I'm happy that beadtok is a thing, but really wish the content didn't feel so pyramid schemey.

It's that time of year again!
On Saturday, I pick up my uncle for the holidays.
While I'll be active online, I've decided it's not the best time to establish a stream schedule. Best to save that for the new year.
Until then, I'll be doing a lot of beading in bed!

Side note - I know everyone is dropping Beetles brand polishes right now for being toxic. I'll likely transition to a new polish line, myself. But the Beetles Tipex system is the ONLY thing working for me, so I'm gonna keep using it until something better comes along.

Fresh set in jelly taupe
It's been a full month of heavy wear and using my tipex nails as tools and they STILL aren't budging. I think it's time to refresh, though.
Side note: the jelly black surprised me. I didn't expect to love it this much.

Need to revisit this because I didn't expect this week to take this wild turn. Yowzah.
I need to document that I've had TWO vivid dreams about a certain world leader's rapid decline and mortal demise in the past 3 days. My brain says he's barely ambulatory and won't see the new year.
This isn't a prediction, just a note for later.

I've found a love for gaming, but I'm an artist at my core.
I'm trying to figure out how to build a community that appreciates both spooky gaming AND beading. Is it doable?
