When temperatures drop below freezing, alligators exhibit a behavior called icing. Sitting in shallow water they stick just their nose above the water before it freezes. Otherwise, they'd be unable to surface, & eventually drown. This Imbolc, keep your nose above the ice y'all! #Okefenokee #Imbolc

My goal for this month is to sell $6000 worth of beadwork. I didn’t make a lot last month so I had to borrow for rent. I need to cover this month and last’s rent, bills, cat supplies, and beadwork supplies — all super important.

Please go check out the eleven new items in my shop and indulge in some beadwork! More new pieces coming soon → cvkvlv.com

Goal progress in comments ↓ ↓
