Bread and Badger

The main problem with running a business while also working a p/t job and helping my husband rehab from spine and brain surgeries is that I haven’t accounted for any days off. About to start week 3 and I’m already tired.

Hey did I mention I got a part-time job working at Portland Leather? It’s pretty cool and I get to see lots of humans which is nice but my feet hurt a lot. Also I smell like leather all the time which isn’t the worst. I used to smell like old coffee.

Any other 80s kids watch Mannequin when you were very little and feel like you’ve have weird relationship expectations as an adult? Or just a strange relationship with the song Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us Now?

I’m just a small business owner trying to start 5+ new product lines because that’s what summer is for, right?

I rescued a lost cat today whose owners are about to move, and I think I’ll be riding that high for awhile.

I made my first resume after 20 years of running my own business and submitted it for a job I want. Please clap!

I haven’t worn makeup in a long time, but I decided to make a batch of foundation, concealer, highlighter, and bronzer, since I used to love making them. Now I just have to figure out how to put them on my 42yo face 🫠

I’m planning a sale because things are… DIRE.

Which gets you more interested:
- Buy One Get One Free
- 50% off Everything

I know which is better for me, but want to know what shoppers think.

This sounds like the correct answer

This seems to be the path I’m on!

I’m just a little loaf of bread, systematically figuring out which cheese I want to marry.

I’m just a little badger, who wants to draw all day instead of being a salesperson.

I’m a little loaf of bread telling you to enjoy what you enjoy

I’m just a badger, letting you know you deserve nice things.

I thought when my husband had brain surgery last week that I’d feel relief when it was over (which I did) but now I’m 100x more stressed about his recovery. Fear of stroke, and falling, and infection have me in a chokehold.

Ok so #IcePlanetBarbarians really is that good! I’m super lucky my library has unlimited copies of the audiobook available, but now I have to wait weeks for the next one! 😭 💙📚 #booksky

Today the sun seemed extra bright somehow! It’s never affected me like that, but maybe there’s something celestial I could blame

Yes! Its like the saddest lullaby

lol I’m a sleepy west coast fan and also don’t know if I can stay up another 15min 😭

I don’t normally get migraines, but I had one today that swept in immediately after I looked at a bright spot of reflected sunlight in a video I was filming. Is this a thing? Or is everything perimenopause?

I just started the audiobook for Ice Planet Barbarians. What am I in for? #booksky #iceplanetbarbarians

An orangey-red mug engraved with a flaming cicada

The world feels like it’s burning, but we’re still rising up. Share with someone who needs a little reminder of hope today. ❤️‍🔥

Totally disappointed by easy-mode Connections today

Celebrate Earth Day by upgrading to recycled glass soap dispensers! I made lots of spooky designs too.

Necromancy themed mugs. One has a skull wearing sunglasses and a bone sword. The other has a hand levitating bones and teeth.

A flaming cicada engraved onto a red mug

A skull with twisted antlers and long fangs engraved into a stemless wine glass. The skull has a long tongue with saliva spraying off it, and a cute little heart above its head.

The silhouette of a German shepherd dog with its skull filled in, engraved on a black mug.

Late night SALE announcement! New design collection of mugs & glassware is 15% off. Lots of cool bones and dogs and swords and teeth…

If you see this, post a flower 🌹

Worked out on my elliptical today for the first time in about a month. It’s so hard to get back into it after having plantar fasciitis. My body feels great, except for my left foot which wants to punish me for the next 2 weeks.

Got this ring at an estate sale today and I’m pretty sure it makes me at least 12% more badass

Book Cat mug

Looks a lot like my book cat design!
