I have achieved the one chore I wanted to get done today; I have put my exhibition stuff away, and relatively tidily to boot. I’m not 100% that’s how I am going to want things, but it does the job of having it not take over the entirety of behind my chair, so. But yeah, that’s been about it. I’ve… Read more »

It has been a very long day. I/we are exhausted. There weren’t really many sales, but the community at the event were really nice — I will definitely be doing the next one in December. But yeah, so tired. I’m ridiculously grateful that the girls are being quiet-ish, because like… yeah. I’ve thumped my head against my keyboard a few… Read more »

I am so behind on everything at this point, but like, hi. I’m here. I did things today, like get this display tested out. I had to redo at least once, but I think that it’s going to work for showing off the fancier stuff. Woo. I’ve also got most of my things for tomorrow packed up, so that’s good…. Read more »

The end of the week is screeching closer and closer. One of the things that I am going to have to do tomorrow is prep my boxen, one of which is pictured buried under… everything. *chuckles* Z has another one on the other side of the lounge that I can take from him and use to put my display things… Read more »

I hit a point last night where I ran out of cards for earrings. So I decided I’d suck it up and move on to something else. I ended up circling back to a box of ultra pink, rather cheap beads, and then have turned most of it into bracelets. Like, cheap bracelets at a low price point, but not… Read more »

The lady who runs the craft fair just messaged me; she wanted to confirm if I was coming or not, as tables were starting to run out. I confirmed that I was, and sent her a few pictures of the things I’ve been making this week. I’m getting a wee bit obsessed with making earrings, to the point of having… Read more »

I have spent bits of the past 24 hours working on levelling up my wire wrapping skills. I made a couple of really pretty pairs of earrings last night by bending headpins into loops, and using those to have multiple danglies. Two wasn’t too hard to do, but three? That took a wee bit of doing. And it’s still taking… Read more »

I have been making things for next weekend pretty much all day to the exclusion of pretty much everything else. It’s included a degree of experimentation, some of which has led to exceedingly pleasing results. One bit had to do with bending a headpin around so I could use it to do multiple danglies. I’m about to attach beads to… Read more »

One of the local roundabouts has a metal cat in its centre. I fail at attempting to get a picture of it pretty much every time I go passed; the only really decent shots are on approach, and often I don’t get my phone out quick enough. I can’t claim this is the highest quality shot, but it suffices to… Read more »

I am feeling especially cute today. Cat ears aside, I love my candy corn countess shirt to bits. Add in surviving another day of half-term and it being Friday, and I’m very yessssssssssss. Z and Smalls aren’t back yet, but the verdict is in — Smalls is joining the glasses brigade. She picked out some adorable frames that, ngl, are… Read more »
