I know I've been less talkative lately re: personal life. Fear not, everything is fine. Comforting normality. I must clean the entire apartment top to bottom at some point this week, but that's about it. Mostly, I've been buried up to my eyeballs in work, which is a good thing. I have a regular week at the bead shop this week, so hopefully I can play catch-up. I have a couple of commissions left before I start plotting Yule stuffs.

Though I did get a lovely day all to myself yesterday. I slept in, napped on the couch with kitties, made myself pumpkin pancakes, hennaed my roots, and took a long bath. The only thing I did not get to do was cull my BPAL & etailer stash for swaps/sales, which I will do tomorrow morning, along with posting reviews of stuff I've liked lately.

We are also carving a pumpkin tomorrow night. Excited for that.

My stitches come out Tuesday night. Also excited for that.

Tonight is Verve Tribal's debut at Tribal Cafe. I'm heading over to marinatempest's shortly for our second and last rehearsal with tonight's music... the notification was a little last minute, as Belladonna's been overwhelmed with Belly Horror stuffs. So I'm nervous about it, but I think that's just typical stage jitters instead of feeling truly unprepared. I have been dreaming about performing at Tribal Cafe since I started dancing four years ago. So. IEEEE. Good IEEEEE, but IEEEEE nonetheless.

But, in quick drive-by work news: If you would like a holiday commission from me, PLEASE send me a convo in the next week. I anticipate being extremely busy this holiday season, as I am not only handling Sihaya Designs, but also working extra hours at Terra Firma. I can likely accommodate your request so long as it is not last minute or sent end of November / beginning of December. PS if you love Lapis, I have some of the prettiest lapis I have seen in a long while!
