      ​​​​@@MicarahTewers You're funny and entertaining (and beautiful - your male fans care a lot about this part), fantastic with video editing/scripting, but it would mean a lot if you would make videos also practical/educational for the people that want to sew?
      It will really help your female audience that isn't as fortunate as you.
      Your male fans don't care, they don't sew and don't plan on sewing, but it will give them the wrong impression that the textile industry professionals should be paid in pennies, because you make it look so magically effortless.

      Central Texas here. . . . every spring, in our youth, my sisters and I would reopen the closed outside umbrella for the first time, and have to deal with at least a few mummified lizards falling onto us. 😖
      Or worse they make it all the way into the house and somehow get trapped and die, and get mummified above the bathroom exhaust fan and when you pull the cover down, you get a mummified lizard corpse falling in on ye. [They were mostly always strong male lizards too. :( ]
      In my early teen years, I had befriended a male lizard for a few years called ' Boo Boo Head' because he had scars on his head. Very original I know . . . . but I was maybe 13 at the time. He'd wait for me outside, and let me hang out with him for hours after school. I'd water him and hold him up to flies so he'd get a good meal. A few years later, he got stung by a parasitic wasp. He was shedding his skin at the time, but had a huge hole in the side of his abdomen. I put neosporin on the open wound and put his shedded skin over it, and the wound did heal marvelously, but unfortunately it had been a parasitic wasp or something equally as foul, and my poor wild lizard suffered for it.
      What was sad and incredibly sweet was, that he, in the middle of dying, came to see me for one last time. I hadn't've seen his for days and worried about him, but he returned and gave me a kind farewell. I still miss him, more than a decade later.

    So, I'm sure I wasn't supposed to *actually* find out anything about the art print... but I did it anyway. From my brief googling I found that it's called The Soul of the Rose (also sometimes called My Sweet Rose) by John William Waterhouse. Painted in 1908, it depicts the mortal Psyche smelling the roses in the Greek god Eros' garden (thanks Wikipedia).
    I'm sure it was very influential in the work of Frans le Bedonkydonk though, the similarities are unmistakable.

    no i actually love this. the gold and teal go beautifully together and make it appear extravagent and inviting at the same time. doing the wallpaper like you did, in blocks with trim, is something im going to have to remember because its Perfect for making something look good and Fancy without spending a buttload of money / gives me the opportunity to use scraps. using a metallic, gold in this case, really helps make the most of the light coming in the window, making the room feel so much brighter.
