Community Cast Video Day 10

Not feeling so good today thanks to a med side effect. Managed to get a video done, but forgot to talk about the things I was supposed to talk about. Today’s video includes: mumbly grumblings and a doll accessories show ‘n tell.

Please, also take a moment to watch this touching video from the wonderful people at GCCM: Just Take A Moment (this is a facebook link currently. I hope you can see it.)

Patreon

I was supposed to introduce this on this morning’s video, but my focus was elsewhere. After much persuading, I finally started a Patreon account.

We’ve come to a full week of social isolation here in NY and across the country. I hope everyone is well. This morning’s video is mostly chatting with a look at the pinballs from yesterday. I may add another video later. Please share your pinballs so we can see them. Give me ideas on what you would like to see below in the comments, some Q&A too.

Community Cast Video – Day 4

I ooopsed in the video saying Day 5. This really is Day 4. I think my planner starting on Monday is what threw me.

Today’s video contains: Clara chasing her tail, a snip-it of straw history, thoughts on artists in this time, a look at some of my favorite pincushions.

Mentioned in this video:

  1. Pincushion filling comparison -“What’s Inside”
  2. My mug of the day (I don’t think I got this on video because I made it too hot) – GCVM salt glaze mug
  3. Walnut pincushions
