I've been keeping my hands occupied lately

Apparently this variety is hard to get your hands on. Going to have my mom put it in a pot for me if she ever moves

I've considered so many options despite enjoying expressing my femme self

Everything is in bloom, I love all the vibrant colors I'm seeing right now.

Mine hardly pays for anything

I have a lot of things to say, mostly offline and often with *spicy* language

Collection of African beads in burnt orange, pear green, teal, and silver.

An African necklace in a range of cool blue colors highlighted with an ornate, scroll-like, silver pendant.

Today, I’m working on prizes from the Hope Ring Fundraiser. First up is a custom Patchwork Necklace; see the blue necklace pictured for an idea of how the finished piece will look. The winner requested this colorway. It’s gonna be grand!

It’s been a stressful couple of weeks, with all of the changes that are coming our way this year— I for one, am just trying to take it one day at a time.

With that in mind, it’s time for a sliding scale fundraising s@le. $70-130, message to claim.
20% is being donated to

I'm trying to remember all of the social platforms I've used over the years.

- Friendster
-Tribe
-Myspace
-Facebook
-Instagram (before and after it was purchased by FB)
-Pinterest
-Twitter (closed my account as soon as Musk took over)
-Reddit
-Crafted By Makers (wix)
-Discord
