I'm sunburned purple. I'm shivering in the heat. I'm throwing up. Had to make an emergency cancelation of tomorrow's event to bounce back after today.

It's too damn hot but I'm still here. At least my booth is cute.

Signage for the new charm bar complete!

What would you want a slightly witchy jewelry vendor booth to smell like outdoors on a 100° autumn day? I'm planning my diffuser scent for this weekend.

I'm supposed to be on a bead ban right now, but I was in Roseville and Bead Gallery was right there.... Picked up 5 strands of chonky bois.

Babylon has a similar vibe to Renegade and I like it. #taylorswift #showgirl #encore

Rude of Taylor Swift to release a new single the same day as the new Nothing But Thieves album because now I have to choose what to listen to first

One of my deepest irrational fears is that I'll be the fat girl that smells like deli meat or chili beans. So I ordered a bunch of fragrances to mix from Demeter so I can smell like a bog witch who baked cookies in a wood burning oven with dried herbs and rain. I'll update later.

Confused about how people thought they were selling high quality jewelry inside bath bombs. Didn't we do this same bit with candles in the 00s?

Dressing for my scorpio moon usually makes me feel like I'm poorly cosplaying as a vampire, but I think I nailed it today. All black, but structured enough to make my virgo rising and venus happy.

Steph (she/her) @stephmakesmagic.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

Shut up and look at my moon charms

Day 1 of wearing contacts ended early. The blurred vision gave me a headache. Picking up some eye drops and trying again tomorrow.

000

Steph (she/her) @stephmakesmagic.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

I have an appointment to stick my finger in my eye 3 times today. And by that, I mean I'm getting my first box of contacts.

001

Steph (she/her) @stephmakesmagic.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

Nobody warned me that losing a game of salad roulette would leave me with a nasty headache and ridiculous anxiety. Rude.

Steph (she/her) @stephmakesmagic.bsky.social · 28/08/2026

Today's eye exam day and you know what that means: Picking out this year's frames while my eyes are dilated and hoping I chose well without actually seeing them.

Steph (she/her) @stephmakesmagic.bsky.social · 28/08/2026

Buying beads on whatnot is wild. What do you mean there are bidding wars over dyed synthetic beads, but I can snag strands of high quality gems for dirt cheap without competition? Today's snags - hessonite garnet $8, moonstone $8, and herkimer diamond $15.

Today, AB 1729 - the assembly bill requiring each state agency justify a need for RTO - just passed the California state senate and is on Gavin's desk. Also today, my office's break room was overflowing with staff I've never seen before who had no cubicle to work from.

Steph (she/her) @stephmakesmagic.bsky.social · 24/08/2026

I desperately want to smell like a witch baking rosemary sugar cookies in a wood burning oven while it's raining outside.

Steph (she/her) @stephmakesmagic.bsky.social · 22/08/2026

Went to the houseplant event at my local nursery just to check out Hoyas. Their selection was disappointing. Ended up with a ping, a dragon scale alocasia, a pilea, a Rex begonia, and a candy stripe fern.

Steph (she/her) @stephmakesmagic.bsky.social · 22/08/2026

So I invested in more. I'll have 8 large pendant necklaces, 16 medium pendant necklaces, and 24 small pendant pairs of earrings. Now I just need to find time to create.

Steph (she/her) @stephmakesmagic.bsky.social · 21/08/2026

Hot take - tarnished jewelry isn't a bad thing. All metals tarnish with exposure to the elements. I'd rather wipe my pieces off with a sunshine cloth to shine them up than have a non-tarnish coating start peeling after a few wears. Also, solid brass is superior to gold plated. Fight me on this.

Steph (she/her) @stephmakesmagic.bsky.social · 21/08/2026

Autumn collection idea: Moonspell Various fall inspired stone combos featuring solid brass crescent moon charms. The moons came in today and I already want to invest in more. They're so pretty!

Officially overcommitted myself in October. A concert 3 hrs away, a large event the next morning, and a small event the morning after that. AND THEN another large event the following Saturday. I need to make some stock. Desperately.

Steph (she/her) @stephmakesmagic.bsky.social · 18/08/2026

So I didn't get to stream during my mini-vacation like I had hoped, but I DID do a lot to prepare for my return to markets! AND I upgraded my webcam so I can restart my sparkle streams soon!

000

Steph (she/her) @stephmakesmagic.bsky.social · 17/08/2026

Was going to attempt a sparkle stream today, then remembered I broke my webcam last time I used it. So now I'm researching a good replacement.

Steph (she/her) @stephmakesmagic.bsky.social · 10/08/2026

Smuggling beads and tools through the airport like the menace I am.

Steph (she/her) @stephmakesmagic.bsky.social · 08/08/2026

Think I found my new favorite plant to propagate! Would probably root better in perlite, but had to try moss at least once. This is about 6 weeks of growth from wet sticks.

I absolutely love the look and strength of the tipex nails I've been doing, but I'm in the mood to rock my short nails. So my birthday set is a trial run of pink rubber base with a mylar flake top coat. Making jewelry should be easier now.

I don't care how long they wait to announce it, there's no way Mitch McConnell isn't dead.

I'm already the weird girl in the office, but how much weirder would it be to gift plant propagations to my coworkers in bedazzled hydroxyzine bottles for the holidays?

000

Steph (she/her) @stephmakesmagic.bsky.social · 26/07/2026

Even if I have to use the PNG tuber, I'll be streaming for my birthday this year. I told Tilda she's not allowed to get a gooey bald spot again and I think she's agreed. Jewelry. Games. Shenanigans. 8/15/26

Steph (she/her) @stephmakesmagic.bsky.social · 25/07/2026

Decided to take a long weekend to recharge my battery. Some overdue housekeeping, some gaming, and some making. My next market is in October, so this is the perfect time to figure out how to use these moon beads I've had forever!

Steph (she/her) @stephmakesmagic.bsky.social · 21/07/2026

As a Sacramento native and Phas player... WHY DOES THE MAP IN NEW WILLOW SHOW SAC AS THE FINAL DESTINATION? I need to know. Is this a hint for things to come? Will we have a haunted underground city, or Sutter's Fort, Delta King, or Folsom Prison, or any number of spooky Sac things?

000

Steph (she/her) @stephmakesmagic.bsky.social · 19/07/2026

I know she's wonky, but that's what makes her interesting, right? I really want to make my own pendants!

000

Steph (she/her) @stephmakesmagic.bsky.social · 18/07/2026

Haven't made anything. Haven't played anything. Adding an extra day in office each week in addition to a heavy travel schedule has me shutting down creatively. I have projects planned out and games in the queue, just no energy to tackle them.

Steph (she/her) @stephmakesmagic.bsky.social · 17/07/2026

I think what people don't understand is that CA state workers are fighting for more than just telework. We're fighting for the 5% being taken from us in PLP & the 3% COLA we were promised in 2025. We're fighting against paying $300 a month parking & shared cubicle spaces in unmaintained buildings.

000

Steph (she/her) @stephmakesmagic.bsky.social · 11/07/2026

Traveling with my work bestie this week, so you know what that means: Packing a second suitcase full of beads so we can order Door Dash and craft in the hotel lobby togethet after work!

Considered streaming this weekend, then my washer went out before a travel week and now I'm spending my weekend at the laundromat.

000

Steph (she/her) @stephmakesmagic.bsky.social · 10/07/2026

Washer went out so I had to incarcerate the demons during repair. Maggie is currently dying a very loud and dramatic death, and Tilda is busy jiggling the door handle.

Steph (she/her) @stephmakesmagic.bsky.social · 29/06/2026

The jewelry rebrand is near! I'll be launching July 4th! Considering a celebratory split stream - jewelry in the morning and spooky games at night.

Watching videos of Knicks fans has me PUMPED for when IT happens

I needed to wait for my sleeping meds to work last night so I spent 2 hours turning my baldheaded snow queen into half a pint jar of wet sticks. I don't need more plants, but I can't waste a good propportunity!

000

Steph (she/her) @stephmakesmagic.bsky.social · 06/06/2026

Rebranding is moving along! How adorable is this?! I may have been too picky about my soft pink, but it was worth it.

Steph (she/her) @stephmakesmagic.bsky.social · 04/06/2026

In today's episode of "I need an autism diagnosis," I commissioned a new logo and I'm having trouble being descriptive in a way that's not confusing to the artist. There's a fine balance between overexplaining and being concise, and I'm missing that mark big time!

000

Steph (she/her) @stephmakesmagic.bsky.social · 03/06/2026

I didn't vote for Tom Steyer because he felt like the popular kid running for class president who ran a campaign promising pizza parties. Great idea, in theory, but zero experience or clout to actually make it happen.
