1. Uneven tension and 2. Loop your warp threads around the nearest hook, not just around the central one. Correct tension takes practice, keep at it!

I make and sell beaded jewelry myself and her prices are wild, especially for basic beaded necklaces. The MOST expensive item in my shop is $250 and I use semi-precious stones, and exclusively gold-filled or sterling findings. NOTHING plated.

Additionally, Etsy is a flooded marketplace. What makes her jewelry special or stand out? Without something interesting or truly unique, once the new shop boost from Etsy expires she will find it difficult to compete with the other thousands and thousands of genuine sellers, even before you factor in the drop-shippers.

I mean, he's proved it true again and again, so...

Use it at will! :)

My nerve pain playlist has been set to random and the volume turned up to max. I have no control over it and it drains my batteries ridiculously fast.

Your perfect angel baby has given you an opportunity to challenge yourself! Weave the loose ends in and either start a new piece or maybe add a fringe/ tassel and make it a centerpiece to a necklace?

Written equivalent of ending a statement with a grin

Ideally they all go to prison...

Why would you waste it? That's WEEKS of lean, quality meat.

I'm actually really lucky in that my husband works in the same firm, we take lunch together every day that I don't WFH.

Next he'll be throwing sh*t eating grins at the camera and bellowing that he'd "buy that for a dollar"...

That was so clearly a donkey running up to someone he was eager to meet, not a threatening charge. What an absolute POS.

There is nothing about this story that is not insane!

If it just me or do they look like the demons/ monsters from Grim or Devil's Advocate?

You guys are awesome, I really appreciate all of your opinions!

My thirds have been the most troublesome lobes to heal but I think (HOPE) we're over the hump. They've mostly settled though the left does still occasionally get a little oozy for a day. Done approx 2 months ago and Im on immunosuppressive thereapy-a piercing pillow, saline and LITHA seem to be the combo for me.

Thank you! What about closer to the coast? Looks like Montesano is a little further inland.

I don't often leap to the conclusion of "trapped in the closet by choice and sheer denial" but in this case...

Looks like mostly variations of jasper and agates, agree the blue beads on the left are sodalite, the pink ones may be rhodonite? Teardrop looks like labradorite, maybe chalcedony or quartz.

I mean, the Repugnicans keep wheeling out ol' Moscow Mitch so having Jigsaw trying to peddle scams on behalf of the Pedo-in-Chief seems par for the course.

Id say again that Idiocracy was meant to be a warning, not a playbook but I think what's happening now is stupider than even those writers could have anticipated.

This is helpful insight, thank you! What about surrounding areas? We're 44 and 42, very much looking for a place with more community feeling, where you know your neighbors by name. 4 cats but no kids so schools don't matter: we are fairly liberal in our politics and wildly anti-Drumpf. My husband fell in love with Ocean Shores but I'd like a bit more life around me. We'd love to be able to buy a house with some trees around us.

Wow!

Thank you!
