The path from, "It would be cool to make some earrings again."
To, "I'd better learn some more jewelry techniques."
To, "I wonder if I can make recycled wire out of my scraps?"
Is short indeed.
Sadly it looks like even home equipment and PPE required to actually cast metal ingots and forms is *several hundred dollars* and the labor involved is prohibitive. But at least I can send out all my wire scraps for recycling instead of just throwing them in the trash.
I have a general plan to try to make a double for the shop for everything I'm making as gifts for people, when I can. The Jack o Lantern charms came in groups of 3 so I can't make another set exactly like the ones I did yesterday, but the basic herringbone beaded earrings should be simple enough to make a few sets of as I'm finishing up my Christmas list.
If there's any interest I'll pop some things up on Etsy, but honestly the online market is incredibly oversaturated and I'm working towards local sales.
Dangly dragon earrings with Sunstones and Amazonite beads. These are mine. 🥰
Made some quick earrings for a friend who was just released from the hospital today.
Made some Christmas Tree ornaments.
Little gold colored wire rose ring.
Turns out it's pretty great to hammer things flat at the end of a frustrating day. 😂
Making some bookmarks.
Some early attempts at chain mail. Turns out it's easy to make jump rings with approximately a 3.5mm inner diameter when you have size 4 US knitting needles sitting around.
Unfortunately, I don't have the large sized flush cutters and I'd rather not completely wreck my smaller ones. Further experiments will probably have to wait until Friday.
I've been practicing a few things. Might post some up after Christmas.
At the Bacopa, Bacopa Cabana… Someone has found a sunny spot and is the cutest little photobomber! (The mints have been trimmed and moved,
Check out the new WordPress site and blog for YeOldeSideHustle, since tumblr's fate is leaning towards pushing up the daisies. (Please note that we do not have actual daisies yet, but plenty of flowers and herbs for your viewing pleasure.
As always, there is no need to purchase anything from the shop to enjoy the blog and progress pictures.
Tongue progress for Sunday's shop update. I will have at least a trio of brown and green Lakeside booties, and maybe a pair of Frozen Lakeside booties as well. The first Speckle prototype came out a little bigger and looser than I like, so I've dropped a needle size. The washable wool behaves much differently than the acrylic with its subtle shimmer, but the softness is amazing.

Still knitting, I can most likely finish another purple bootie this afternoon before the shop update. Then there will be three pairs available, and a set of five on the Rainbow colorway!
(Note, if you want just a pair of any set just message me here or on Etsy and I will split it up and make a custom listing for you.)
Getting ready for the shop update! All of these will be available for sale later today. Ten total, and I have more of the purple, blue, and brown and green booties coming up.
Bags pre-and post-felting. This is round one, they will need to go through at least once more and get stretched out before they reach their final size and thickness.
Soft Open Sunday
Get ready for a shop update! This Sunday afternoon, daylight hours in PST I will post an announcement here and at least four items in the store. I have two pairs of booties ready, and two convertible dice bags. I can't wait for you all to have a chance at those, we have given some out to friends and they love them.
