Listen there’s a lot of bad in the world right now so I can only focus on cat in a box so I don’t implode

Truly trying to keep up with social media let alone life while ALL THIS NONSENSE is going around us is freaking hard. Proud of you for hanging in 💜

I’ve been a bit MIA because I’m seriously considering a career change and trying to figure out logistics. Narrowing in interest down to engineering, but not the specific specialty yet. Really hoping it’s a field I could enjoy because health insurance is not it #careershift #life #updates

Mentally this is where I’m at now (do expect me to make this guy into wood someday) #art

LOOK HOW CUTE SHE IS #cats #pets #furryfriend #cozy

LOOK AT THIS LOVELY LADY I ADOPTED TODAY #cat #petadoption #mspca

I kind of want to make weird little fictional creatures and then make them out of wood. Is this of any interest to folks? #art #woodworking #projectideas

Thank you so much!!!

Choosing to focus on art and education for now, less doomscrolling and more doing. #woodworking #woodenart #art #handmade #carving #nautilus #workinprogress #sawdust #resist

Not gonna lie I’m very sad about losing Tik Tok

It’s been a hot minute, I’ve been crunching on a last minute custom order for the holidays! #woodworking #art #handmade #fish #craft #animal #scrollsaw#carving #creative

I did not have United Healthcare CEO being taken out on my 2024 bingo card but here we are

A holiday themed shelving display of handmade wooden art pieces

Major success yesterday at my local craft show. My favorite part is getting to see people’s reactions to my work and how many are genuinely curious about the process. I love the work that goes into this and knowing it’s getting strong feedback is huge for me! #woodworking #craftshow #handmade #art

Sometimes working with your hands is a really great way to quiet the anxiety -painting, baking, cooking, sewing, woodworking, just anything where you physically make a difference no matter how small

STAINING CHAOS TIME #woodworking #stain #art #handmade #craft

Staining is happening tomorrow, in the meantime super proud of how this lil clip turned out!! #woodworking #handmade #christmas #art #santa #stopmotion #passionproject

I love this, sucks that it wasn’t as fun for you as expected. But definitely unique as hell style

Doing my dumb little spreadsheets for my job so I can afford to play in the workshop later.

YOU MUST DO YOUR STRETCHES TO HAVE STRENGTH TO CRUSH YOUR ENEMIES.

Screech into the void. Go on, the void can handle anything

Aww that’s awesome! Hope she enjoys it when you finish it :)

Wish more people realised that for most art businesses, there's only one person doing all the work. Creating, shipping, admin, promotion, starting feuds with other artists, painting unflattering portraits of them into historical scenes, trying to poison them, it's all one person.

Current project in the works. Almost done shaping everything, I am so excited for when I stain this one #woodworking #art #wip #holidays

Good morning and happy Friday! For the woodworkers, any fun projects you’re working on? I’m currently finishing up a Santa carving for a craft show #woodworking #projects #art #hobby #helloworld

Wow I love these

HOW DO I MAKE THIS MY LIFE TOO HOLY CRAP THIS IS THE DREAM

Hey now that’s disrespectful to that beautiful piece of mahogany

Honestly just reaching out to friends that understand mental struggles. Also forcing myself to hang out in person -asking to hang out and play board games, watch a movie, etc helps a lot.

Also a shit ton of therapy helped to make the lows less extreme

*Does nothing*
*Does nothing*
*Starts something*

Them:
"You busy?"
