Frozenfire's Gorgeous Glass

Had some yummy mail t'other week in the form of some glass plugs made by the lovely Frozenfire :)

I got a pair of these peacock and white on cobalt lattacino coil plugs from Frozenfire several years ago in 8mm (pictured left, at the top), and never got round to getting a bigger pair. That it, until I was randomly browsing Etsy and found another pair in my size -- it was like it was meant to be. I quickly snagged them, did an excited little dance, and then started the horrible process of waiting for a package to get here from the States. It only took about 10 days and now they're here, in my ears where they should be.

Absolutely love these plugs, they're not only stunning gorgeous but are wonderfully comfortable as well. They are a tiny bit heavy due to the glass (I generally like them light, as I'm an old fart and am starting to get slightly saggy lobes, despite regular massages) but they're so pretty that it's a trade-off I will happily accept. Will definitely be getting more, and soon.

Got stressed, made stuff, opened an Etsy shop

Not been coping with the stress of bastards very well recently :( I usually make plugs to chill out a bit but they weren't doing it for me for a bit as I was overworked and burning the candle at both ends. It's quietened down now and the job from hell has finished now, so it's all good again. Touch wood.

Anyway, I used to make clay things, rocks and Garden Jedis (pictured below, right) to destress before I made plugs, but the weather was too rubbish to make the Garden Jedis :( Polymer clay doesn't care about weather, so that came out and I made some swirly ear hangies. Made quite a lot of them, in fact, kept quite a lot of those, and am selling the rest on Etsy.

The Big Stompy Bootique Etsy Shop can be found here -- have a look through if you have stretched ears and fancy some swirly ear hangies to wear in through your eyelets :) I'll also be putting some other things on there at some point, like other jewellery and Garden Jedis, maybe some vintage 80s clothing, once I've got rid of the urge to make swirly things while watching the telly.

Broke My Toe, Sulking

Recently, I decided to hang up my high heels, due to concerns over breaking my ankles or something. I'm not very good on high heels anymore, used to be shit-hot but then I married someone with short-man-syndrome and the stillettos had to go :( Rekindled my relationship with them after I got rid of the shortie, but it wasn't the same, as my ankle always hurt (war wound) and they seemed wobbly. Unsturdy. Maybe a bit scary; it was always a bit tense going out in them as I was always worried about the heel coming off or falling over, with some git quipping, "have a nice trip?". Yes, fuck off.

Anyway, heels were retired and boxed up, ready for eBay, when I tripped over a boot. Not a heeled boot, mind, but the flattest one I had, like the one in the piccie. A shite boot. Landed on my toe, it made an unpleasant noise and now I can't walk properly. So I'm sulking and blogging about it, cos I can't do a lot else at the moment :( Isn't irony fun?

Fuzzy Clock Has Stolen My Ability To Tell The Time Properly

Fuzzy clocks are brilliant, have got them on my phone, as a clock-radio, time piece in the front room, even on my computer, basically everywhere I can put them. Office, studio, they all have their own fuzzy clock. This is how it has worked for years, and it was glorious, until I looked at an analogue watch today and had to take a minute suss out how to read the fucking time, old-school.

FFS.

This is what age does to you, it steals your skills and replaces them with grey hairs, hot flushes and a yearning to start growing vegetables.
