I'm doing 43 things
About three years ago I began to pick up a passion for baking. Bringing treats into my classes on just a random Thursday here and there has brought so much joy into my life. In addition to this, I’m an avid tea drinker, and enjoy many craftier hobbies such as knitting and candle making. Thus the lifetime aspiration has come to me to own my own hole in the wall bakery someday. Not so much corporate, and not to make tons of money: simply to offer, as my title suggests, a home away from home for locals in my area. Selling homemade items such as hats and scarves, along with a wide selection of teas and delicious treats, I would ideally love to have a free wi-fi system for people to sit and work, and a homy area where local live music may come join us for an evening or two every week. Living, not to become super rich, in this lifestyle would bring me complete joy in my life. (:

How I did it
It made me
Appreciative 
How I did it: I've had my ears pierced since I was seven years old. (That's ten years, mind you.) I drove myself to Michael's and got some burgundy red Filmo clay. I played with it for a little bit, and then made several even-sized pairs of gauges. Starting with the smallest pair on the first day, I've been using my homemade gauges to successfully stretch my ears. I am probably at a 12 or 10 by now, and due to personal preferences, will more than likel… Read how I did it…
