Saw these cheap little bears for so I got one and made her match me!

I get to walk with my class tomorrow, and in a few weeks I'll have finished with the programming bootcamp, too! I am nervous about this next stage, but also excited!

I just have this feeling that everything is going to be ok. 💜

I've never seen hyacinths in person before. These just started blooming, and they smell amazing! They are so lovely 💜
A close up of the rich, violet hyacinth dominates the frame, its petals densely packed and slightly curled at the edges. The green leaves contrast against the velvety petals. The background is softly blurred, showing a glimpse of the window, some plants, and a hanging piece of stained glass, creating a layered effect of nature and art in quiet conversation. A trio of hyacinth bulbs in glass vases sits on a windowsill, their roots suspended in water. Each flower is at a different stage of bloom—one fully unfurled in deep purple, another showing soft pink petals with a cluster of tightly packed buds above, and the third still in the anticipation of bloom, its green buds reaching upward. Hanging crystal prisms catch the light, casting subtle rainbows. Beyond the window the outdoor scene is blurred by the window screen, a quiet backyard with a wooden fence under an overcast sky. A close-up of the pink hyacinth reveals the delicate curl of its petals, some still partially enclosed in buds, others fully spread. The flower’s stem is thick with clustered blossoms in varying shades of pink. Behind it, another hyacinth with green buds remains unopened. Sunlight filters through a crystal suncatcher, refracting into soft colors.

I gave my monstera a growl light, a humidifier, and some fertilizer for the first time in 5 years and within 2 weeks she grew 2 new leaves! She hasn't grown a new leaf in ages... I think I've been neglecting her 😬
A large monstera plant with broad, fenestrated green leaves sits in a massive ceramic planter, which is placed inside the cut-out center of an ornate wooden table. The table features intricate carvings along its edges and sturdy, curved legs. A green plastic watering can rests on the table. Above, a grow light covered with a macramé shade casts a warm, glowing light, illuminating the plant and surrounding decor. Additional lighting comes from a stained-glass lamp in the background. The walls feature framed artwork and tapestries, and a red upholstered chair is partially visible to the right. The setting has a cozy, vintage, and bohemian aesthetic.

I made a little raccoon forest friend wearing a mushroom hat and a turtle shell 🖤

During my study breaks I've been trying to stay off my phone, so I've been making tiny little sculptures instead of doomscrolling.
A handmade polymer clay sculpture of a raccoon wearing a mushroom hat and a turtle shell. The raccoon has a textured fur-like surface with short, rounded limbs positioned in a relaxed pose. Its facial features are minimalistic, with a small rounded snout, two circular indentations for eyes, and a subtle nose. The mushroom hat on its head has detailed gill-like ridges underneath and slightly curled edges, giving it an organic, natural look. The raccoon also wears a turtle shell on its back, though it is not fully visible from the front view. The sculpture is unpainted, with a white surface, and is placed on top of a tipped over glass, against a dark backgroud.

As preparation for moving in September I have been taking photos of my home as well as looking through one's I've taken over the 4 years I have lived here. Aside from when I was very small (less than 6) this is the longest I have lived in one home. My heart aches when I think of leaving it.
A variegated rubber plant (Ficus elastica) with green and cream-colored leaves sits in a terra cotta pot on a table covered with a red fabric. The entire scene is illuminated by warm, moody red lighting but a cracked in the curtains let's in a sliver of pale white light that shines on the ficus like a spotlight. A tapestry with intricate circular patterns and small figures hangs on the wall in the background. An old tube tv has been converted into display case. Where the TV used to be are other houseplants and decorative objects. A curtain is partially drawn in the foreground, adding depth to the composition. The space has a cozy and bohemian atmosphere.

It is midnight. I am tired, and my back aches from bending over for hours, carefully stringing glass beads to hang in my kitchen window. I did this even though I have homework to do. Even though my room is messy. Even though the world is falling apart...
A kitchen sink window filled with curated trinkets. Strands of crystal prisms dangle like frozen raindrops, catching the glow of the rainbow-shaped neon light. The lamp spills colors onto wilted, bright orange flowers. The dark night outside is softened by reflections in the glass, while tiny sculptures of bugs made from colorful, transparent beads rest on the windowsill. Miniature vases filled with long grass stems and sunflowers cast soft shadows against the glowing arc of the rainbow. A pearlescent skull, with small flowers sprouting from its crown, peers curiously from the shadows, and a fossilized shell sits beside it—a relic from another time, bridging the present neon moment with a distant past. The leaves of propagated plants in jars of water stretch toward the horizon where the sun has disappeared, their edges brushed with an otherworldly hue.

This was really sad but also very touching but also very sad... but also hopeful and impactful. And if you have 45 minutes to kill, it's worth a listen. Video starts at around 2:40.
