NorCal middle-aged childless cat lady, jewelry artist, crystal bitch, maker, plant parent, music lover/potential recent swifty, and sometimesies amateur gamer.
My favorite toxic trait is that I make men regret being unaware of their surroundings.

Shove in front of me and you might hear "I guess it's your turn" or "I forgot, we must always yield to the men" in a fake southern belle accent.

My uncle's brain injury isn't visible, but there are signs.

He just spent the last 20 minutes describing the plot to a movie about couponing and had to take several breaks to laugh about it.

While I'm not quite ready to fully grow out my gray hair, I've come to the conclusion that I need to at least blend it a bit. So I'm sitting here with a fuckton of babylight foils just to cover it with a sheer brown.

Since I can't stream/game for the next 6 weeks or so, I'm considering some craft videos.

Like, maybe Taylor album inspired necklace sets?

I'm happy that beadtok is a thing, but really wish the content didn't feel so pyramid schemey.

It's that time of year again!

On Saturday, I pick up my uncle for the holidays.

While I'll be active online, I've decided it's not the best time to establish a stream schedule. Best to save that for the new year.

Until then, I'll be doing a lot of beading in bed!

Side note - I know everyone is dropping Beetles brand polishes right now for being toxic. I'll likely transition to a new polish line, myself. But the Beetles Tipex system is the ONLY thing working for me, so I'm gonna keep using it until something better comes along.

Fresh set in jelly taupe

It's been a full month of heavy wear and using my tipex nails as tools and they STILL aren't budging. I think it's time to refresh, though.

Side note: the jelly black surprised me. I didn't expect to love it this much.

Streaming tonight to check out Nell's Diner and give my vtuber a try. See you at 7 PST!

Also plotting my first bead stream. I'll keep you posted!

Need to revisit this because I didn't expect this week to take this wild turn. Yowzah.
I need to document that I've had TWO vivid dreams about a certain world leader's rapid decline and mortal demise in the past 3 days. My brain says he's barely ambulatory and won't see the new year.

This isn't a prediction, just a note for later.

If jump rings have no haters, I am deceased. Wire wrapped links until the day I die.

I've found a love for gaming, but I'm an artist at my core.

I'm trying to figure out how to build a community that appreciates both spooky gaming AND beading. Is it doable?

I want to be a girl who wears beanies but I don't have a beanie wearing face.

Also, it's still 80°.

Finding ways to mix stringing and wire wrapping.

Cute little green garnet pendant to add to a colorful necklace

Not shocked at all that Prop 50 passed. But I am shocked that it passed in Orange County.

They're never on the right side of history, so the country has to be extra fucky to get them on board.

2 Truly Unruly's deep and just realized my cat would probably prefer I compliment her intelligence over her beauty.

Being pretty isn't an accomplishment, but figuring out how to open every door in the house without opposable thumbs is.

Wanted to stream spooky games today, but had nearly zero sleep last night, then had a much needed massage that put me completely out of commission.

Doing some chill houseplant maintenance and ordering Chinese delivery instead.

Happy Halloween!

Still on vacation!

No stream today unless I decide to do something later tonight. I have a bunch of tasks to tackle to prep for my uncle's annual visit through the holidays.

Winding down from my interview took a little longer than expected. I'll be live in 10 to 15 minutes!
I have a virtual interview for a promotion tomorrow morning, but I'm still on vacation all week!

I'll be streaming some Phas shortly after it's over - some time between 10 and 11am PST.

Can't wait to tell you how it went!

No stream tonight. I have a thing to rest up for.

Let's aim for noon-ish PST on Monday to play some new spooky games or craft - no set plans, just vibes.
