'Twas supposed to be an evening of happy sewing, but I came to find out something is highly amiss with my machine. 😅

Welp. Time to tune everything up!

Witchy tip of the day - work with what plants you have around you!

Black walnut for protection and banishment of negative things, pecans for prosperity, and creeping cucumber berries.

The berries are both healing and toxic, so I'm curious as to where they will be called to be used. 💛🌙

Beading setup upgrade!

I'd been making due with dollar-store paint trays + cardboard bits held together with rubber bands for beads being used in projects.

I was finally able to get wooden bead organizers! Moving up in the world, haha. 💛
A casual photo of a snowflake-shaped cheap, flimsy plastic paint tray full of beads. Cardboard designed to sandwich the stackable trays together are beside them. A photo of three different aestherically pleasing laser-cut wooden bead trays. One rectangular organizer has one large compartment on the bottom with the next layer up having 8 compartments, and the lid is beautifully cut to show a mandala design. Two light-colored mandala-shaped bead trays made from wood are beside it, both with clear acrylic lids.

A photo of two beaded amulet bags, one pink and one purple. Both have accents of gold and white and the necklace beads have small rose quartz accents.

Amulet bag part 2, electric boogaloo!

I am getting to know the local bead stores well. I'm so glad one had the white delicas I needed when I ran out.
