If you're not, listen to this.
Get a guitar or some drums, or a trumpet. Pick up a brush, a pencil, some clay or a welder.
Just make shit. It doesn't have to be good (eventually it will be) just make music, art or write or whatever.
It's literally never been more important.

So many of my loved ones use WIC and SNAP.
If I was still in the states, I would also be losing what little assistance I did have.
Fucking insane that they can tax you for it but not provide. Even crazier that there are people who dont believe Dondon will actually let that happen. Wtf

Being ADHD has been a huge challenge for crafting. It's so hard to keep focused, upbeat, and maintaining a rhythm of forward momentum.
Just because it's difficult doesn't mean it's impossible or not worth doing, but damn it sucks on a deadline.

Just finished the second Hobbit movie, and I have to say as an adult it hits different but not in a bag Wai. Knowing the story as well as I do gave me a much better prospective. I felt like I could see more than before and thats so 3xciting!!

I've been feeling so tapped and depressed lately. It's been hard to feel so detached from everything that I can't really focus on anything.
I hope everyone out there is taking care of themselves throughout all the mess out there in the world ♡

Things have been wild in my life lately, but it's still nice to be able to find time to work on something nice for someone ^.^
I'd like to share a printed cross stitch kit that im doing for my friend who has never had one.
It's not much, but to her, it's everything and that brings me boundless joy

I haven't posted for quite some time, life has been absolutely crazy the last while.
For some fun, I think it is high time for a re-watch marathon of the Lord Of The Rings series.
I think it will be fun to watch and then post my thoughts on each movie here!
If that sounds like fun, then tune in!

I'm so proud of myself!
I stuck through breakdowns and set backs, and made something amazing. I wanted to quit so many times, I made so many mistakes, I pushed myself to my breaking point and I'm so glad I made it through.
Never give up. Something imperfect can still be stunning

My chronic pain journey has ramped up a lot in the last week, as I've been in so much pain I could barely move.
Life for me is what happens between flare ups, and what I can make the most of.

It's a wonderful feeling of contentment to have all the house stuff done, and to know that all the chores to set myself up to craft have also been done.
What a wild journey learning to craft historical costuming has become! I feel each new piece teaches me something new ❤️

So glad W.A. seems to have finally succumbed to the Fall season.
I get to spend my nights drinking tea and reading books during thunder and rain storms, and I couldn't be happier ❤️

Life is so crazy and full of turmoil that it's important to find happiness you can focus on. So today I am celebrating the fact that I have all my craft stuff needed ordered and shipped already ❤️ 14th century bliaut is well on its way to being done!
Can't believe I can actually make patterns now!

Life has completely fallen into upheaval.
I'm just praying that my family can make it through this and stay strong instead of falling apart.
I'm so scared for my family back home

I don't know why, but the sign saying "Vance Skiis in Jeans!" Is *killing* me 😆

Wow: JD Vance is apparently skiing in Vermont this weekend and the locals aren’t having it. Thousands have lined the streets in protest.

It's so sad to see everything happening in the States.
As an American abroad, I feel like I have to explain things, or apologize for not being able to.
Like... I can't make excuses for Americans anymore. It makes no f*cking sense why anyone would vote for that poor excuse for a human I'm just sad
