If I keel over tonight, we'll know that I am, in fact, allergic to milkweed pods.
If I don't, I may have a new favourite foraged veggie, and recipes to come :~)

Disclaimer for the concerned: the first part is really mostly a joke at this point. It's been 2+hrs since I ate a couple of pods, and I feel fine. Most people say they got sick within a few hours. I try to be cautious since I have had issues with allergies, but it's the latex that causes most allergies/sensitivities, and I've handled milkweed enough with no reaction (except annoyance because my hands are sticky and it's a hassle to wash off), that I'm not genuinely concerned.

Such an incredible gift from for 💕 Look at how cute that little guy is!!!
And immediately after opening the package, even though I'd scanned for 4-leaf clovers before sitting down, I glanced to my right, and there was a 4-leaf clover right there, perfect to press in the book (which I've been wanting to read pretty much since it came out)!
Thank you so much!

Byzantine anklet.
$15, free US shipping.
Default length is 10.5", but I can change that easily.
Add bells for $1 more (I love bell anklets, but that may be a me thing...).

Someone please tell me I need to have a little campfire instead of following through with my new plan of making wands for upcoming events 🤦‍♀️
My van smells amazing though, after hauling these lilac branches. No flowers on them, but the wood smells great...

I must say...I really love this...one necklace with multiple chainmail weaves, a thrifted metal charm, and a glass "pearl".
I'll have 2 similar pieces available. 1 piece will have a slightly smaller crescent, the other will have a slightly larger one. I'm keeping this one :~) I only have the 3 center pieces, so that's it.
If you want one made to your specifications, let me know.
I haven't fully priced it out, but it should be around $70.

The first Sat in July is apparently Alice's Day, to celebrate when the story of Alice in Wonderland was first told.
So I've added a short, Alice in Wonderland horror story (from a few Halloweens ago) to Pa-treon, available for free.
L!nk in b!o or stories.

I saw these charms and had the idea to make friendship jewelry that's cutesy, but also more for adults with the handmade chains.
$5 for domestic shipping. If there's international interest, I can check prices.
If you'd like a specific charm with a specific chain, they can be made to order. Prices are dependent on chain style and the time they take, so for example, if you want gummy bears on the chains the t-rexes are on, it'll be $60 instead of $30, because the chain takes about twice as long, and a lot more rings.

I'm so far behind on everything...
But I got these giant spikes, didn't realize somehow that they were plastic, almost returned them, decided to try them because I can't find metal spikes this length for a price I can condone at the moment, so decided to try them.
And I think I like them.
I can make long earrings with them that are much lighter than earrings with comparable metal spikes, but they really don't have a super plasticky, cheap feel. I may try a couple on a necklace to see if they hold up, but I was pleasantly surprised by how the earrings turned out.

, honey, sweety, baby, calm down...
It was 2am, don't panic over people not checking their matches within 20 min. Good lord...😆🤦‍♀️

Anyway...we're off, for those who are participating this summer.
Missed it? There will be a book exchange for Christmas, so keep an eye out for that :~)

These little guys were gonna have their craft show debut this weekend, but thanks to ghosting, they'll spend the weekend languishing. Just like me...🤷‍♀️

Nfs, although if there's interest, I might consider making a few. They're wicked fiddly though, so wouldn't be cheap.
Micromail ring on Queen Anne's Lace. And yes, I was very worried I'd drop it in the grass and lose it...
