Finished the leafy bit of my Woobles snail.

Gonna start the cat tomorrow probably.

Honestly, practicing the basic crochet stitches on my own on scrap yarn first has helped sooo much in being able to finish these.

I attatched the shell on upside down, but she's done! Happy lil snail.

I also got the leaf, so I'll have to work on that next.

Lost yarn chicken, but I'm a 'good enough' type person, so I just finished it with the wonky corner. 😂

They're usually a smooth polished stone in the shape of an oval with a shallow dent in the middle. You rub your rub against the dent and it's supposed to help with anxiety and such, like a fidget toy.

They usually look like this.

Been making some wood worry stones with scrap wood.

Left is alder wood with a knot in it, which I hope to fill with resin at some point, if I get around to it. Right is mahogany wood.

How I hold my crocheting yarn. 😂 Doing it around my pinky finger annoys the shit out of me bc it slips too much. This just works better for me.

A small jewelry box of random pins and a couple rings I got from my grandma as a kid.

The enamel clown pin is random as hell. Lol.

The little shells are pretty cool though, ngl.

Going through a cabinet that I want to give away, and I found this box of brightly colored dyed feathers and sea shells that I got decades ago from my grandma.

Guys, what am I supposed to do with a bunch of dyed feathers??

Someone is idling on the street next to my house absolutely BLASTING California Gurl by Katy Perry.

My Restrepia brachypus mini orchid pushing up two new blooms on the same leaf, which had already blooms three time before.

Had no idea they could bloom five times from the same leaf??

Look at the little fronds coming up on my bird's nest fern. 🌱

Picked up this lab-grown Chalcanthite over the summer and didn't realize it can be toxic and is water soluble, so I finally got a case for it. Nobody lick it.

Just a little wood thing to sit on top of my oil heater when I'm not actively using it. I made it so I can set a small fan on top of it or use it as an end table next to my chair during summer. Lol.

The little oil heater table I made is doubling as a writing table for when I'm in bed, when the heater is being used. Love that for me, actually. Multi-use things are sooo nice for small spaces.

Like clockwork, my Mammillaria plumosa is flowering again this year.

It has two little flower buds on it and I love it so much.

I want to clean the plastic dome and clock face on this vintage General Electric alarm clock, but I'm not sure what the safest way to do that is.

I love this candle holder so much. The pink holder with a pink taper candlestick is so prettyyy. 🕯

Painting some native buffalo grass on the side of the oil heater cover I've been working on.

I think it's turning out pretty good.

My Masdevallia descendens mini orchid has three new leaves coming in.

Hopefully with cooler temperatures, it will bloom again soon. 🤞

My first sashiko mend could be worse. 🤷‍♀️

Duckweed looks so cool, look at this stuff.

Please enjoy this picture of my waterfall tank before transplant shock kills a bunch of the leaves on the new plants. <3

Still need to add wood hardscape, but I can't decide what I want that part to look like yet. Finding appropriately sized branches is gonna be interesting.

I think I was sent giant duckweed instead of lesser duckweed. 😂
