Itâs Been A While
So, uh, I guess Iâm a full time crafter now? *nervous laugh* Iâve been working part time in retail, and full time at home for the last year to get my store up and running. I hate that the writing bug went away, but I hope that seeing new things from my store isnât too disappointing in lieu of words. Also hope all you lovelies are doing well. <3

Craft Shit!
Just a few of my latest creations! Iâm super excited to finish my Taylor Swift - Lover decal set! (First page is directly in the middle of the first image. There are 2 pages, with one decal for each song.) Iâm planning on doing a whole series of sets just like it for all of my favorite albums. Iâm 99% done with Lover, and am about 1/3 of the way through John Mayerâs Born and Raised at the moment. And then...who knows?! Also redid all the decals on my car, including my Teddy ones! (Yo, if anyone wants some of these decals, let me know!) Snagged the cute little coffins from Michaels and painted them up and put decals on them. Theyâre little ring boxes, with rolled felt on the inside like jewelry boxes. I may be biased, but I think theyâre cute AF. Anywho! As always, I hope you all are fairing well in life out here on Tumblr. <3

Keep reading
ThisâŠ. MasterpieceâŠ. Came to mind after he shared those damn painting pics today. đłđ¶
It was necessary to reshare.
Iâm not gonna lie, I had a giggle when I saw the pictures on Instagram. A very, âHmm, isnât THAT familiar? *wink*â kind of moment.
Tried to make this post like two weeks ago but the internet wasnât having it that day. Went to St. Louis for a wedding at the end of July, and that was...crazy. (My best friend isnât exactly great with timing/planning. đ ) We had some great experiences, and some reallll bad ones. Most of the good ones involved food...because apparently Iâm a foodie. Iâm ok with this. Got to see John Mayer, which is probably my second favorite thing after food. This was my 12th show, my husbands 7th. There were confetti cannons, and lots of dancing. It was the best, as always! Then this week is our 4 year wedding anniversary, so we went down to see the friends who just got married. One month for them! I wish we could pluck Charleston from the coast and switch it with Columbia. I wouldnât have to move, but all the cool shit would be here and not there. =PÂ Probably gonna make a big crafting shitpost here soon, since Iâve gotten a LOT of vinyl decals up in my store and am working on some fall crafts right now.Â
â€ïž
Iâm back with more craft stuff to share. =) My sweet husbando helped me get a Cricut Maker, which is like, the ultimate crafting machine. Iâve had it for a week and already made a baby shower card, a crap ton of leaves for my best friendâs wedding, some vinyl stickers, felt flowers...and Iâm just getting started because I. Love. This. Machine! Holy shit is it cool. The bottom picture wasnât made with the Cricut, but itâs a baby shower gift for a friend and Iâm so proud of it. (That tiny pink flower at the bottom is slightly obscured, but I promise itâs the cutest little flower Iâve ever made. *heart eyes*)Â Iâm back working retail again, even though I said it was the last thing I wanted to do. But Iâm good at it, and itâs reduced full time so it ainât bad. Itâs helping pay for the crafting addiction, so I canât complain too much.Â
Hope everyone out there in Tumblr-land is doing well. Iâm seeing so much Ed and Taylor stuff going on. Like, what year is this?! I mean, both releasing albums, and Iâm going to see John Mayer in August soooo...a damn good year, apparently! ;)Â
Many hearts to you all!
Craft update!Â
Iâve been super into felt flowers recently, and, until I can do the candle making thing properly, itâs going to be what most of my projects consist of for a while. We got some calla lily boutonnieres, a frame (with more to come soon!), and some table top decor. Begging my husband for a Cricut Maker to assist with this process is still ongoing, but I think Iâm breaking him. ;) Still no update on the job situation, but fingers crossed and all that that something comes up soon. Just gotta make more flowers, I suppose!Â
And HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WOMENâS DAY, YâALL! Women truly do rule the world, so hats off to all you beautiful ladies out there!Â

So, itâs been an embarrassingly long time since Iâve darkened the doorways here, but Iâve been doing other stuff! Like...having a job that didnât work out, and dealing with mental health. This yearâs been a ride, and I feel bad for disappearing only to show back up with a website to shill...but honestly, these crafts that Iâve been working on have been giving me life and a distraction from bad habits and feeling down on myself. Iâve been hard at work the last four months trying to build up my inventory to start taking to craft shows - making tons of earrings, pulling year old projects out of their corners to finish, and creating all new things. Iâm still learning how to take better pictures of small things, which means my jewelry is slow-to-come in the store, but all of my finished wreaths have made it up and I have more to complete. I take requests, custom orders...pretty much if I CAN make it, Iâll do my best. I sure hope all of you lovelies are doing well, and that this post finds you in good spirits as the craziness of the holidays bears down on us. I miss all of you, and hope to be back to regular posting soon. Maybe not stories, but crafts, cosplay, possibly other things.Â
All the <3âČs.

Taylor Swift- Cold As You
Watch: The âpink taxâ is secretly costing women thousands â and not just at the drug store
Yooooooooooo
Women pay more for products. Men pay more for clothing.
Do men really pay more for clothes?
Yea, seriously. Shirts, sneakers, jeans, socksâŠetc. Ask your male friends how much they pay for a pair of descent jeans. Itâll blow your mind.Â
At least their pants have fucking pockets tho
âMen pay more for clothing.â
(Target)
Are you sure?
Are you
(Walmart)
ABSOLUTELY SURE??
BECAUSE IâM NOT ENTIRELY CONVINCED
LIKE AT ALL
THAT MEN HAVE IT HARDER
(Victoriaâs Secret)
OH AND SHOULD I BRING UP PANTIES WHILE IâM AT IT? I am a firm believer of the âfuck you, Iâll wear briefs that donât give me a wedgie, I donât care if theyâre not sexyâ policy, but a lot of women are expected to wear panties and thongs because GASP WOMEN MUST BE BEAUTIFUL AT ALL TIMES. Hereâs a screenshot of some Victoriaâs secret panties!
Wow. Itâs almost as if thereâs a pattern here.
Women are expected to buy more clothing, and literally all of it is more expensive, so fuck all of you.
*HAMMERS THE REBLOG BUTTON*
Fucking infuriating. And, NO ONE pays more for clothes than fat women. Tired of it.
Have you ever stepped on a Torrid? $50-$80 for a blouse.
^^^^^
Yup it totally gets more costly when youâre not model thin.
Woah
Iâm here to confirm the fat girl commentâŠ. decent fitting, CUTE plus size shit is just expensive as fuck.
As a trans person who has shopped for both mens and womens clothes, I can confirm that womens clothes are A LOT more expensive than mens - and women are expected to buy more as well. I donât mean that women are expected to love shopping and want loads of outfits (although that expectation certainly contributes), I mean that womens shirts are sheer and they are expected to wear stuff underneath them, while mens shirts are opaque. Womens tops are flimsy so they have to wear cardigans or jumpers, mens tops are thicker and they can get away without. Womens clothes donât have pockets so theyâre forced to buy bags to carry stuff.
There is only one single exception to this that I can found. And that is underwear. I donât mean lingerie like the Victoriaâs Secret stuff above, I mean basic knickers vs basic boxers. A multipack of 7 knickers from Primark costs about ÂŁ4. A multipack of 3 boxers from Primark costs ÂŁ7. That is literally the only exception that Iâve found.
Of course, considering that a lot of women also wear bras that tiny concession ceases to be a factor once you add in the cost of a bra. Even a basic Primark one costs about ÂŁ6 for one. That basic bras arenât supportive, comfortable, long lasting, or anything else you need from a bra.
So yeah, men might pay a lot for their clothes. But women pay a lot more.
Also, women are expected to have more varieties of clothing
What my husband wears: 1) to the office, 2) on a nice date, 3) to a wedding (as long as itâs not black tie), 4) to a funeralÂ
While I can technically wear âa dressâ to all of these events, all of them require completely different kinds of dresses/accessoriesÂ
So I need four things in my closet (or at least a couple of different things with different jackets/accessories to dress them up or down), while my husband technically just needs one dark suit, a white shirt or two, and a plain colored tie.Â
Iâve been on and off Tumblr for a few weeks, being all anxious and weird and shit. But I received my most recent Reddit Gift Exchange gift, straight from London, and Iâm so excited that I had to share. I got British goodies, yâall! Plus, look at that postcard - Harry Trotter. Love it.Â
I hope all you ladies are doing well. Iâll be back eventually...promise! <3Â

someone in a fanfic: s-stutters in embarrassment
me, closing the tab: sorry I must go
Unrealistic Stuttering: âS-sorry I-I d-d-didnât m-mean t-toâŠâ
Realistic Stuttering: âSorry, I uh⊠I didnât mean- I didnât mean to do thatâŠâ
When people stutter, they usually reword what theyâre saying as they speak, and subconsciously insert âfiller wordsâ such as âuh, like, you know,â and etc.
*puts on speech therapist hat*
ACTUALLY! It depends on why they are stuttering.Â
A Nervous Stutter results in what is called Mazing, or rewording the sentence. That is the classic âI, um⊠well I⊠look itâs just that⊠so weâŠâ that @hellishhues is talking about. When someone is mazing their words youâre seeing a form of Speech Apraxia where the brain is having trouble forming verbal speech. This can be brought on by brain damage, memory loss, anxiety, nerves, and several other things.Â
The root cause of a nervous stutter is a disconnect between the mouth and the brain.Â
With this you will also sometimes see the classic âS-s-s-sorryâŠâ especially if the person has been training to speak clearly and is now at a point of fatigue or stress where they are not mentally capable of forming the words.
The other kind of stutter is a Physical Stutter, sometimes referred to as slurring, and another facet of Speech Apraxia. This stutter is caused when the muscles of the mouth, tongue, and throat are physically unable to form certain sounds. This is most often seen in the very young and victims of brain trauma.Â
Sounds are acquired at different ages, so a 2-year-old will probably not be able to clearly pronounce certain words (which is why toddler sound so off when theyâre written with developed dialogue). These mis-pronunciations are sometimes referred to as lisping, but only if the sounds are run together. If the person starts and restarts the sound because they got it wrong, it can also sound like the classic sound stutter.Â
But it all depends on why the character is stuttering!
Do they have Speech Apraxia, Audio Processing Disorder, muscle dysfunction, or another medical reason to stutter? (1)
Are they stuttering because of anxiety, stress, or fatigue? (2)
Does the stutter stem from intoxication or blood loss? (3)
All of those will sound different!Â
1 - Will have mazing, repeated sound stutters, and be the classic stutter that annoys OP.
2 - This is where youâll see the repetition stutter, mazing, rephrasing, and filler words.
3 - This is where you are more likely to see starts and stops and slurring of words.Â
My mum has apraxia and I just wanted to say thatâs one of the most concise and clear ways Iâve seen it explained, thank you!
âJust be f**king honest about how you feel about people while youâre alive.â
