Just a regular Thursday in 2025 having to explain to my 5yo that the 5 second rule has been extended to 7 seconds due to the current state of the economy.

Two customers in two days have reached out for some minor customization and in the end they requested some way to give me a tip! 😭 I'm struggling so much lately (having to uproot my family and flee for our safety, y'know, no big deal) that it really made my whole day, twice! 🥹💝

Hey, artists, in case you were wondering if your work matters: I'm a scientist working on climate change and biodiversity, and I would not be who I am today without The Lorax, The Secret of NIMH, Watership Down, The Last Unicorn, and The X-Files. I know I'm not alone. Thank you for all you do.

I have some REALLY cool new projects coming soon that l am very excited about. These clutches will be really unique and eclectic, very pleasing to look at and to touch! I can't wait for the rest of the supplies to arrive! 😻

Good time for a reminder:

I just want you to know that… my kitten just got all hyper and so I mimicked her and she chased me like I’m a kitten, too. And it was fun. And now my body reminds me that I am, in fact, an almost 40 year old human and I need like an hour to recover from that. 😹

My last pile of makes was a real #mood 😅 #helloOrchid #Etsy #Handmade #ChanningQ Found @ helloOrchid.com

So, like… this is my business account. I guess. For my Etsy store, hello Orchid. Which can be found at helloOrchid.com :)
