It's almost June! Time to do what all the businesses do and performatively change my profile images for #PrideMonth2025. Oh. Wait. When DID I change my profile images to rainbow themes again? Was it last year or 2023? 🤔 #lgbtqbusinessowner🌈

What am I doing in the "off season"? Well, I have a few commission orders to make, some Christmas gifts to make, a little D&D to play, and also took Booth Cat Mercury out to Petsmart so he could watch the exotic birds channel on Cat TV.

I forgot to get my COVID booster last year.

I meant to get it before Thanksgiving, but one thing led to another, and I still hadn't managed to get it by the time my last craft fair rolled around in early December.

Looking for a unique gift for the #catlady in your life?

Get custom-made earrings that match the coat patterns and eye colors of her favorite cat(s)!

Order a "custom" set today, and send me a picture of each face so I can match.

Long time no post, Bluesky! I promise I'm still around... it's just that Threads was more active, so I was over there more.

Have some Mercury the Booth Cat pictures in apology!

Sometimes my studio assistants are a little TOO MUCH assistance...

After 3 straight weeks of craft fairs, I have 3 weeks off until the next! Hoping to get some favorites restocked and some new items made before the Kentucky Moonshine Festival on June 15th at Boundary Oak Distillery in Radcliff, KY

And maaaaaaybe my rotten Booth Cat will agree to attend again.

Well, now that the URL for the bird app has officially been x'ed, I guess it's time to finally quit it.

I'm not religious, but I hear that a bunch of people celebrated a Bronze Age carpenter today. Meanwhile, I cut wood for two doors with some very non-Bronze Age tools.

These will be mounted on a barn door rail to keep my studio assistants OUT of my studio when I'm not in there.

Palette Stash challenge!

Pick a number 1-500; I then have to try to make a jewelry piece using the color palette with the corresponding number and ONLY components I already have on-hand.

I have a photography station again! Still have more stuff to unpack and sort and need to hang some power strips from the ceiling for better electrical access, but the new studio space is coming along nicely.

The incredible difference of new lights and new paint.

I'm cleaning and preparing half of my basement to be my new studio space, and Mercury does NOT appreciate being blocked out of the area with a folding screen.

I have the flu and presently sound like Shohreh Aghdashloo but in a very unsexy way.

I am pleased to report that Mister Murderface did NOT murder anyone at the vet's office today, though he did leave them in fear for their lives until they could get him wrapped up in a towel and sedated.

Fortunately, his eye may end up healing fine on its own, and he had a clean bill of health.
