I received another wallpaper sample and knew I needed to use it in my office!!!
I love getting free wallpaper because I get to add whimsy everywhere.
I still have quite a bit of this one left over in 16 inch lengths. I can't wait to figure out where I am going to use it!
#AddWhimsyToYourLife
It's all done and I love how dramatic it is!
Sometimes you just need to shave the side of your head.
It turned out even better than I had imagined, meaning I am now planning to extend this look into my bedroom!
This Saturday-ish, we need to go in and clean all the dust off the rail. Then on Monday we can fill/grout it and on Tuesday, I can touch up all the black paint. (Don't mind the splotchy real, I touched it up just now after we scratched up the walls putting on the long rail.)
My Mines of Moria #TheConquerorChallenges medal arrived today!!!
These are so high quality! And the challenges keep me motivated!
Now on to the baby blanket!

if you believe in any form of free enterprise at all, the idea that the Pentagon can not only cut off your contract but designate you a supply chain risk and prevent other companies from buying from you just because you won't build killbots for the government should be terrifying
Then, once you've finished tweaking it, send it back to me and I'll set it up with professional typeset.
I'll send you the ePub, paperback, and hardcover typeset.
You'll just have to provide your cover art and your ISBNs to be ready to go.
#IndyAuthors #Publishing #WorkingTogether
I know everyone is struggling and the world seems to be on fire right now, so in an effort to help struggling authors out, I'm running a single pass copy edit and typeset special.
Up to 100,000 words, I will do a single pass copy edit of your manuscript.
Learning how to knit my sleeves two at a time using 2 circulars has made the process far less tedious and I no longer dread making sleeves.
#Knitting
We're getting the chair rail up!!!
And I was finally able to get a photograph that properly shows the new green color!!!
#HomeImprovement
I have no desire to bring a tiny human into this plane of existence, but when I get commissions for baby things I'm always in awe of how adorable they are.
#HandmadeBaby
I decided to lace up my skates for the first time in a decade. 1) It's amazing how unfamiliar this feels. 2) The upper are so stiff and rigid again that I need to wear them in again!
#RediscoveringMyself
I did it!!!
Yay!
#TheConquerorChallenges
And because neurodivergent brains are gonna diverge, I have an ambient channel playing jazz music in the back to keep me *mostly* focused.
I had never appreciated why some people needed multiple screens until I started taking my InDesign training while creating a detailed, written user guide.
Now I have 3 systems running.
And now I'm on to the advanced class!
I don't have the solution, but I just want to scream into the void that having to pay a subscription for a program I have to have for my job is ridiculous.
#DeathByAThousandTinyCuts
The yarn for a commission has arrived!
This week I needed a pretty project because my anxiety and has been a beast.
I love how the pleated fitted skirt finally came together.
However, I ended up tearing it apart and changing it 3 times.
#Handmade #SummerSkirt
Due to so much darkness and sadness in the world right now, my Christmas decor is staying up indefinitely.
In the current state of the world, being authentically yourself and loving fiercely is an act of resistance.
Keep showing up, keep being yourself.
#BeYourself #LoveFiercly
I still create because my heart is heavy over everything that is happening in the world, and especially the U.S. right now, not because I'm ignoring it.
I'm trying to share joy.
#ShareJoy
I finally switched out my light switches, then I used wallpaper to decorate the switch cover.
As part of my attempt to decrease purchasing things I don't actually need, I printed out my monthly wall calendar this year. However, it still needs a monthly picture.
Here is my January, that I'll be able to reuse year after year.
