Life can be hard.

Gift a heart to the people you love, and remind them of how cherished they truly are. Remind them that their anxiety is a liar and that they aren't alone.

It's my Demon Slayer wall! I'm obsessed with the series and cannot wait to see the movie next month! I have four cats on that gallery wall... each one represents one of my girls. 🩵 None of them are *of* them, though.

My current #view. 🩵

Can I just say what an #incredible feeling it is to find #JOY in #creating again? I have truly #missed this #feeling.

Dried flowers sitting in molds to the center left, flowers in cured resin to the center right. A gallery wall with misc artwork in the background and a TV displaying music info to the right. Yarn and an earring display to the left.

My mom always taught me that when a child asks a question, they are old enough for the answer. We live by that as well. We give an age appropriate response, but because of that, William has always done better with the honest truth... not a sugarcoated version of it. Sometimes it's difficult.

I just added 14 new styles featuring different anime characters.

Here's a small taste. 😉 You can see the rest on my #website. #Life is too short... wear the fun earrings.

I have another funko pop on the way (girly Zenitsu) and several more on my wish list. Send help. Please.

Also... the husband giggles whenever he walks out of my office. He loves this far too much.

I've taken a break from #creating over the last few days & tonight, I #read book 11 & started book 12. The #husband & I finished the #DemonSlayer #anime series a couple of months ago & I'm #reading the #manga. I'm completely obsessed & can't help myself.

Look at my wall... I don't even like anime.

Thank you!

And then, of course, I had to straighten up the blanket yarn in my wooden crates because it was a mess after.

So anyway, I didn't get much done and my back hurts, but I have yarn for projects and my yarn looks great again! 🤦🏼‍♀️🤣

The #plan last night was to #crochet a bunch of little plushies while sitting comfortably in my chair.

What actually happened, though, was me sitting hunched over on my floor like a #gremlin, balling up a bunch of #yarn so I could replenish my yarn bag. 🤷🏼‍♀️

A bag with several balls of bright yarn to the left. On the right, a bowl with bright yarn in it, and balls of yarn on a footrest. There is a teal basket behind the bowl with a few half made octopus plushies inside.

(4) Are you worried about them getting gross and dirty from lots of outside fun? That's an easy fix! Throw them in the washer, and they're practically brand new again!

Grab some today and get ready for some outside fun!

(3) Guys, I'm not just talking these up. WE love them, too. The photo is of my son and his friends. Water balloons made from yarn may *sound* like a wild idea, but they are absolutely fantastic. I've offered these every summer for the last several years, and they are always a hit.

(2) Pop a few buckets of water to use as water stations around your yard, open a pack of these, and have the best water balloon fight of your life. These only take a few seconds to get ready, and you can use them over and over and over and ov... you get the idea.

Reusable water balloons are incredible for warm weather fun, and they are SO much better for the environment than the typical latex water balloons that can only be used once! Added bonus? People with latex allergies can actually have water balloon fights again! (1)

It is time to rethink water balloon fun!

It is HOT outside and I have TONS of reusable water balloons ready to go!!

How do you use them? It's easy!

1.) Dunk
2.) Squeeze
3.) Toss
4.) Repeat
