So uhhh I guess I was wrong. The pepper plants are still at it! 🌶️🌱

So basically I don’t have any idea what large festivals and markets will exist next year. I still don’t have any info about where to set up next Saturday for the Pumpkin Festival that is also the last one ugh.

Me: struggling to read a long winded bad news email from my phone after an eye appointment.

Blindly posting eye update. She said my eyes are super healthy and my prescription was only 1/4 changed. I can’t see shit right now though (dilated). With insurance and only replacing lenses it was almost $300 today. (My insurance sucks though) next pair will be bought in Turkey over video chat ugh.

Headed to the eye doctor soon to get a new prescription and I’ll have my eyes dilated. I’m super sensitive to that stuff and won’t be able to see much of anything for the rest of the day. (Not driving myself) Have a fav podcast or something to share? I can look up a few things before I head out.

I want to lay down in the grass with a ring of bird seed around me and just let the birdies snack. 🐦 I wish we had grass in the back yard.

Earring time!! Itty bitty crochet hook time!! 🧶 🪡 Come see me and my earrings up close and personal Saturday October 4th and Saturday October 11th in Idlewild park in Reno!

10 day forecast looking like next Saturday will be perfect weather! Nobody jinx it!! The Pumpkin festival will be all day long in Idlewild park Reno, Saturday October 4th and also Saturday October 11th!

I just love how in online courses if I have a question it could take anywhere from an hour to multiple days to get an email back. I can’t do anything until I know my numbers are correct. Ughhhh

I ordered a cheap bookstand so maybe I can have a sample teabag bookmark out at the festival for folks to see how it feels and works.

Prototype design for a pin-backed button... the "[insert date here]" is intentionally tongue-in-cheek, since there have been so many. I'll have a listing for preorders on the kofi shortly.

What I’m wearing to the Rapture…

Got my flu and Covid vax today and I’m blasting through some chores around the house before my arm painfully stiffens up. Happens every time, but I’m so relieved I’m able to get them. I miss the days of not even thinking about this shit.

Today: horrific autism announcement Tomorrow: the rapture

What movie do you consider “perfect”?

Meanwhile back at ranch: This is my glow in the dark mask for a masked ball (house party) next weekend. I have a black suit jacket, but other than a glow stick necklace I don’t know what else to wear. I don’t like skirts or dresses. Also should I curl my hair like Shirley Temple style (if I can)?

My kitchen window and Mr. Kitty are setting the vibe for this #caterday

This! But also I want a collection of little pins from all my favorite friends and accounts. Or scout style patches!! Yes we wear a sash with our own patch at the top and then fill it in with a bunch of little patches from all the friends we meet! ScoutCon when??

COME SEEEEEEE US AND BUY MY HANDMADE TRINKETS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Last pepper harvest of the year! I’m going to dry these out and collect seeds for next year. The rest on the plants will be snacked on while I work in the garden. I grew 20+ healthy pepper plants from seed this year and that’s just about right for 2 people. 🌶️ 🌱

Fending off doomerism with chicken cuddles. I’m helping her preen her new neck feathers while she falls half asleep. 10 more minutes will heal me.

I’m preparing to set up a booth for two Saturdays in a row the first week of October. I’ve decided earrings are the way to go. The Great Pumpkin Festival will be filled with kids and stuff for kids, so I will be arriving to hopefully sell to the teens and moms. Also more tea bag bookmarks! 🧶 🪡

What if my next dnd character is literally Mr. Magoo? What then?

🚨ATTENTION🚨 While out and about I went to Michaels for earring backs. I literally giggled seeing the new fabric isle. I celebrated with a yard of these cool cats, then came home to finish up some earrings! 🧶 🪡 🌈

If you see this, quote with the energy you bring to BlueSky (the small things, the day to day)

I don’t know how, it feels fake, but I feel kinda good this morning (?) I have sore muscles from yard work, but NO HEADACHE, NO INCREASED NECK PAIN (just stiff) NO NERVE PAIN!!! How on earth did this happen? I feel incredibly lucky, because I basically did everything wrong yesterday lmfao.

I did too much today. I started watering the trees before the sun was up, cleaned up the chicken coop and made some repairs to it. I even started bagging up yard debris all before I ate anything lol. Dumb I know. Finally ate around noon and I’m still having trouble keeping my heart rate down. 🥹😣

I’ve never seen anyone wear these, never heard anyone talk about them, I don’t care what they do, but I’m also 1000% sure we are all smarter without them.

Sunday morning vibe check ✅ cozy pjs 😴 ✅ the love of a cat 🐈‍⬛ ✅ coffee ☕️ ✅ book 📚 I’m gonna read one chapter then I’ll set up to work on earrings and water the houseplants, make breakfast, and all the rest. No more scrolling. ✅ cat is now in my lap

When I say I’m making earrings this is what I’m talking about! It’s a whole process and I love them so much, but I also have to be careful not to overwork my hands with that tiny little hook. Everything I’m making right now is prep for my booth at the pumpkin festival. 🧶 🎃

About once a month I daydream about having adhd meds (I don’t) and vibing around the house getting all the things in order. Like if I could just be perfectly dosed like once a month maybe I could keep up with everything… today is daydream day.

I’m actually keeping this one because it’s so small and wouldn’t fit most people. Also I kinda focused so hard on the bracelet ideas I crashed out the other side lol. I should probably just finish the earrings I’m working on and come back to the bracelets later.

I did it! I almost forgot to put the pumpkin in though (of course) and had to add it in last. Dough is rising and bread should be ready in about an hour and a half so make sure you have some fresh coffee ready by then. 🍞 ☕️

What if I just decide to cheer myself up with homemade pumpkin bread?? Huh? What if i just did that? I have the power to do so, but do I wanna put in the work... hmmmm

A high of 67° today!!! It’s gonna rain later too!!! Autumn has arrived and it’s a perfect day for a hoodie and a nice long sit outside once the sun comes up. 🍂

I can’t believe it’s Tuesday. We (husband and me, but mostly him) have been sick for the last few days and being the caregiver while also having zero energy is exhausting. Today I have to catch up on everything I didn’t do. Illness never comes at a good time, but man this sucks.

My spooky season logo stickers have arrived from @printinkling.bsky.social I will be sneaking these into every order from now through October. You can also get one from my booth at the Great Pumpkin Festival in Reno, Oct 4th and 11th!

🎃 Pumpkin earrings 🧶

A bunch of little granny squares and a pair of pumpkins blocked and drying. I can’t wait to see how these all look as earrings once they dry. 🧶

🎃 two pumpkins 🧶

I’m unreasonably happy to discover a spicy chicken instant ramen in the pantry. 🍜

I did half my neck stretches yesterday (I thought it’d be fine, some is better than none right?) but I woke up twice as stiff as yesterday. Dang I think I messed up. Today is the day I planned to get a bunch of class work done and other desk related activities. Time to stretch and med up now!

I think, in light of all the rotten people out there spreading terf nonsense, today would be a good day to support trans creators. Trans folk, please add your links to this thread for books or crafts or whatever you do!

Welp! Ends are mostly woven in and I made another set… hold up, I have no glue for stiffing. 😑 I don’t really feel like leaving the house for it, but I also really need to get things going. Everything else is ready to go, I even printed out a blocking template.

The energy I bring to Bluesky

💙💛❤️

On the hunt for the mental strength to weave these ends in and block some earrings! 🧶
