Nothing like a spreadsheet, with some light conditional formatting for your #ffxiv digital onion garden. *chef's kiss* My F1 cross was 93% successful, and I have increased garden space by cramming another in the middle of our FC's walkway. Another cycle of Kukuru Seeds from each, then it's F2 time.

Sometimes the evening vibe is sewing nerdy throw pillows, while tending your digital garden in hopes Magical Genetics will create Onions from Apples and Figs to make your Fancy Armor Chicken stronger, waiting for the one soil node in the Whole of Creation to pop up.

Personal Project 2! Just because the fields of Avernus are hell, doesn’t mean the interior design of your tiny hut has to be! I give you the #dnd Soul Coin throw cushion! Soft, plush, but fancy enough for any formal setting - without the curses or shrieks of anguish! Probably.

I wouldn't be who I am, if I didn't make a lil decoration for my paddleboard, I saved up for - who's named after one of my dnd character's gods, a Journey song lyric, and the fact the first time I tried SUP-ing, I was blessed by ducks. It's a thing now. 🦆❤️

A carabiner with beaded chains reading "Glorious Zephyr", "Small Town Girl" and "Quack", there is also a floating keychain in blue with a yellow duck on it.A blue and white inflatable paddleboard on a deck.

Reviewing my notes for tonight's dnd session - My Alchemist absolutely got her each of her two Spell Refueling rings engraved with her party members initials, for the sole reason to use the rings for Revivify Spells if the Worst Should happen. Yes. She's Sentimental.

Working on gently dusting off the shelves on the online shop, and renewing my efforts to restore some sort of US shipping. I hope to have items for sale for regular Canada-bound shipping as per usual, relatively soon! (And cross fingers I can get US-shipping restored once again this summer?)

1. What if my Ascian/Ancient Ones/Sin Eater ... whatever thing it's designing up to be, ends up ALSO being a White Mage Redux cosplay I've sworn I would redo since the dawn of time itself? 2. Do I just end up googling "Beads/sequins/cabochons sin eater blood opalescent -ai" and be done with it?

Also, UMAD means a lot of the actual song "Dancing Mad" being played - which holds a place of being part of my Top 3 of Best Battle themes of all time. It, Sacrifice from Seiken Densetsu 3/Trials of Mana, and Last Battle of Chrono Trigger are just... Amazing. (And I mean, Battle with Magus too.)

As much as I understand next to nothing about the UMAD ffxiv fight, (or any raid content let's be real 😅) it's so entertaining to watch the World First Race - and when I see a White Mage on the field I can't help but be delighted - That's Glare IV! That's Dia!! BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD LILY!!! 🌺✨

My Smol ones have been planted - the chosen ones to further the cycle of oxygen into the universe… Aka - we’re trying jalapeño peppers and spinach (the latter was distraught about leaving their plastic container but we’ll see if it rebounds, and the former because why not?)

A trio of flower pots with freshly planted little sprouts.

Trying my hand at sanding my Elpis mask - it's rather quite clean to begin with, so it's a very gentle beginner project for me who has never sanded resin before. .... with sandpaper that I am pretty sure might be older than I am. Works good though. So far so good.

A package of sandpaper from Sears, likely circa 1981-1984, for $2.79.
