I have come up against a wall. The wood with which I'm working is in terrible shape. Basically it is sticks previously inhabited by ants and other bugs. So most of the hardness has been compromised as well as the 'carve-able' amount. I HAVE BEEN LIMITED! I can pretty much only carve small and quick items: rings, earrings, cuff links, necklace charms, etc. Bracelets and three piece composite crafts...but bracelets getting back to my original train of thought CAN be done BUT I have to be EXTREMELY lucky. Making bracelets especially bangles OR any bracelets with any considerable thickness or width, that is, the length from the wrist bones to where ever the bracelet ends on the arm above the wrist bones, REQUIRES incredible amount of skill. Its possible but tedious and I REPEAT I WILL HAVE TO BE LUCKY. It is rare to find fallen branches, sticks, and etc that haven't been inhabited by ants or is mealy/crumbly.
Mannequin
As part of my hustles I've decided to use a sewing machine my grandma gave me to make dresses and anything else for that matter. Here's a picture of my mannequin.

Moonshine
I have had the opportunity to try Midnight Moon Apple Pie Flavor. NOT BAD! THE BEST LIQUOR I'VE HAD EVER. Beware! It is strong in both flavor and alcohol content.
Heart

I had high ambitions for this piece of woodwork but the wings and halo are difficult to make and I had to sacrifice them for the need to produce in short time. I still have to find some elegant way to hang it around a neck.
A Few Notes on Wine
I DO NOT LIKE OR I LIKE LEAST OF ALL WINES I'VE TASTED MERLOT. TOO BITTER.
Ok so I only wanted the Hold up wait a minute part but the point is I'm not done yet.
Tooth Filling
I did a temporary filling this week. I have quite a few fillings to do actually. The temporary filling works pretty well. I got the video off of youtube.
Cigarette Paper
Another thing I've been working on is cigarettes. I've come up with smoke blends and I need papers and either mouth pieces or filters.
