🥶 rambling

11.7.24

I woke up at 3am freezing. I got my electric blanket and cranked it all the way up, sat with it wrapped around my arms. Had to sit up with it to cover my legs too it’s only a throw blanket size. It wasn‘t actually cold in here thermostat said 72, my body just does not regulate temperature well. I also cannot sleep with sleeves I always wear tanks because my arms need freedom, my body is complicated. I’m still sitting with the blanket this morning drinking my warm drinks. I am much warmer now, and I did get back to sleep for a few hours but since I broke sleep once now I’m tired.

I really need to trim my nails and change polish out today, trimming is such a pain, because then I have file and shape, not sure I will yet, I can’t make up my mind. Long nails make me feel taller 😂, and I have no breakage so I might keep the length. If I do I’ll post new manicure below. I think I’ll do a solid cream and a layer of the last Mooncat polish I’ve not worn yet, a topper called Moondust it’s a rainbow micro glitter. I absolutely loved Foxfire, so pretty, I have two polishes called that. The other is from Great Lakes lacquer I usually wear it on my birthday. I can’t wait to wear this one again over a thermal polish.

Going to buy some pickle spears today. I really like all pickled vegetables. All I have right now are pepperoncini peppers. NOT eggs or pigs feet, I never had either but it makes me sick just seeing it I know I could never get it to my face without puking. That reminds me anyone ever seen ‘century eggs’, no way would I eat that.

12:30pm

I’m going to eat some eggrolls, be back soon! I also took a nap.

4PM

Did my nails, did not cut them down. I’m wearing Cirque Colors
Lonestar a royal dark purple thermal that when warm is a light lavendar, and then a coat of Moondust on top. Magical combo.

After that much needed 45 min nap as my nails dried I started envisioning another avenue of creativity to satisfy my cravings. My dragon clarity just kicked in, lol.

I’m going to start slow with it because it will require me to put some money into it. I will be making solitaire ooak crystal rings. I could keep them all to myself but I think I’d enjoy the art more if I let people have the opportunity to purchase too. I will also be creating bracelets, and possibly earrings. No two rings will ever be alike because they will be real natural crystals not made in the lab. I will take great care in selecting the specimens, I will have to feel something when choosing. I feel most comfortable working with silver but I may eventually try gold or golds over silver. I may even make fossil, bone and meteorite jewelry down the road. This is a spiritual endeavor I know I’m supposed to take on. At this time I’m unsure of the avenue I want to take to sell. I may go back to Etsy and resurrect Kaleidoscope Reserve, but that was my ooak upcycled jewelry, and this will be upscaled a bit, I may go somewhere else. Definitely an online shop because I haven’t settled into the area I want to live out my days yet, and that gives me lots of flexibility. I am open to suggestions of website. I’m going to spend some time looking into possible packaging, and from there I will make it ooak too. It will take some time to get off the ground but it is part of what I want to build for myself, just to satisfy the creation of the jewelry making process itself. If it sells, it sells, if it doesn’t, I’ll wear it 😂, no problem. I’ll build an epic line where every piece will mean something to me, yet I won’t create anything that is unaffordable to other people. Eventually I will build out from there as I create my fantasy art paintings, prints, and other handmade things, like spirit boxes/divination tool boxes and possible oracle decks of my own. I don’t want to get too far ahead of myself here. I want it all to be fun and exciting, I’m envisioning it and feeling what it would be like to do this, and it feels right and absolutely possible. The moment it is not fun I will not do it anymore, fun is the goal and being paid is the reward. Not the other way around. Thinking in the other direction sets you up for failure. I’ve thought about this for a few years now but I am finally going to take steps toward it now. This IS happening, it already exists now.

Going to continue looking at packing materials. ☺️
