I got my teeth straightened as an adult because they were difficult to clean and my lower teeth sticking in were starting to affect my speech. The process was a bit of a pain in the mouth, but no regrets, it was definitely worth it. Here's a before/after 👇

Finally throwing out the aligners used to straighten my teeth after years of telling myself ”What if I need them?” Need them for what? It’s been six years! 🦷
A photo of a bunch of clear aligners used in orthodontics. These were from the brand Straumann, not Invisalign.

I bought a pack of sewing needles today, thinking I didn’t have many good ones left. Well!! It turns out my old pin cushion had been eating them. So now I have many needles, and a brand new needlefelted pincushion.
A photo of a hand holding a needlefelted strawberry (not realistic, big for a strawberry). In the background, the back end and the tail of a cat can be seen.Same needlefelted strawberry struck with many needles!!

Visited a toy store over the weekend to check out those squishies I keep hearing about. Found out two things: 1. Not for me 2. Children yearn for the slime
Two scribbled panels featuring a disgruntled older woman making disgusted faces while squeezing squishies. ”Why are they so sticky?” She thinks. ”Why does it make that sound? Disgusting!!” The squishy she’s holding makes crunching noises. Around her are vaguely drawn children going ”slime yay slime”

🤖⁉️
A scribbled four panel comic. In panel one, a person is showing off a hand puppet, saying ”I made this! It’s really powerful! Gonna gain sentience any day now!”
Panel two has a close up of the puppet with someone saying ”I’m alive!” from outside the panel. In panel three, the puppet maker is freaking out. ”Aaa! It’s gonna kill us all!!!” he screams.
In panel four, another person asks, ”Can’t you just take it off your hand?”
”No, it was really expensive,” the puppet maker replies.

Been reading about crime solving apothecaries lately 🧐
Photo showing two novels, The Apothecary Diaries vol. 1 by Natsu Hyuuga and Apteekkari Melchior ja Olevisten kirkon kirous, a Finnish translation of the Estonian novel Apteeker Melchior ja Oleviste mõistatus by Indrek Hargla. I don’t know if it has an English translation, but from the Finnish version, it’d be Apothecary Melchior and the Curse of Oleviste Church.

If it’s not in the right place, does it actually exist? 🤔
A two part scribble of a frazzled old gal. ”Wait, where’s my bus card?!” she thinks in both parts while digging in her right pocket. In part one, an arrow is pointing at her left pocket, labeled In the wrong pocket. In the second part, the bus card is In her hand. Bus card is a direct translation from finnish, but now I think of it, maybe bus pass would be more accurate?

Picked up acrylic paints for the first time in a forever 🎨
A painting on canvas of a wildly grinning horned creature peeking out from behind a tree in a forest. No foliage is visible and the trees fade out in to the darkness further back. There’s some moss and grass on the ground. The creature is cartoonish, with simplified features, only one of its big googly eyes is visible, and it’s painted in flat black.

For some reason, I always end up looking a little strange in photographs
A scribbled four panel comic. In panel one, a blank faces woman thinks ”I should smile so I’ll look more friendly”. In panel two, she smiles awkwardly, thinking ”Wait, I’ll need to smile with my eyes too”. In panel three her eyes are narrowed. ”Smile wider,” she thinks. In panel four, her smile is wide as she thinks ”nailed it”. She has not, in fact, nailed it.

Maybe she’s born with it, maybe it’s an aphid invasion
A poorly drawn three panel comic. In panel one, a woman is admiring an implied rose bush. ”My midsommer rose sure is growing nicely,” she thinks. In panel two, she’s taking a closer look at the rose, thinking ”Why does it look so thick tho?”. In panel three, the sparkly rose stem is labeled COVERED BY A MILLION APHIDS.

Turned some bilberries into jam 🫐🫙
A photo of a 1,4 kg of bilberries in a bowl.A photo of an assortment of jars filled with bilberry jam, the second best berry jam if you ask me (the best is queen jam or raspberry/bilberry mix). Making jam is pretty much the only time I follow the recipe because experience has showed the jam will turn strange if I don’t.

Seen some talk of unethical fiction, so here’s my take
Three panel comic titled Unethical Fiction: 
1. Made with AI
2. Printed on human skin
3. The author uses their profits to fund a hate group.

Showing off the stickers on my laptop 🐸✨
A photo of a laptop decorated with stickers. There are five frog stickers: one wearing a strawberry hat, two kermits, one wearing a wizard hat, and one wearing a red conical hat. There are two seal stickers, one is blue and the other is gray and chilling with some water plants. There’s also one lizard, one pike with a bowler hat, one green owl, and one cat with flowers on its head. The style of the stickers is more cute than realistic. All art is made by real artists.

Happy midsummer! My midsummer rose, juhannusruusu, is doing its best to bloom, though juhannus is quite early this year
A photo of a hand holding up a white rose that’s almost blooming. This rose is called juhannusruusu in Finnish, and it’s one of the most popular roses around here, usually blooming around midsummer or juhannus as it’s called in Finnish.

”My hobby is making miniatures” expectations vs. reality
A two part scribble. In part one (expectations), a person holding a ruler and a small chair proudly declares, ”With exact measurements I can make it precisely to scale!”
In part two (reality), the person is looking at a wobly door surrounded by trash, saying, ”Ehh good enough”. An arrow points at her, labeled ”Glueing literal trash together.” Now I think of it, it should probably say gluing, right?

Already looking forward to being eaten by mosquitos while squatting for three hours straight
A three panel comic drawn poorly. In panel one, a group of people are talking. One person says ”I think it makes more sense to buy berries instead of picking them yourself”.  Panel three, a frumpy older woman interjects, ”but picking berries is fun!”. In panel three, the others look at her with pity. Anyway, my coworkers think I’m mildly insane now.
