Once the weather gets cold I definitely get into a hermit mood. But I keep busy inside with crafts

Have a fun week off!

@xvz: that sounds lovely!
I went out to go to work and it was super cold but I think I just need to get my jacket out of storage. XD

I have a paint by number canvas I found online that I’m slowly working on. And I’m making a journal for my sister. And I’m crocheting (a few things) but primarily a shawl/poncho thing. I need to stop slacking on that though, or it won’t be done until winter is over. >.<

@lina: oohh do u get cold easily ?? it was low 60s today which felt super nice in the sun! and was perfect for walking around in, in like jeans+sweater :"-)
i was wearing two layers tho and i also brought a jacket in my backpack but didn't even need to bring it out!

that sounds super fun ^^ for the paint by number do u like print it out ..? do u use markers or ? :0
i've never made a journal but i did have a friend make one for me once and it was such a lovely gift!!! do u have a tutorial u follow or anything, i'd love to try it sometime!
i've never tried crocheting though i would love to learn, i love the crochet plushies and would to make one someday<3 how did u learn? ^^
i learned how to knit rectangles in middle school and made a scarf or two when i was younger... i think it's a nice activity to do / keep hands occupied while watching tv!

@xvz: I get cold so easily! I’m cold blooded. >.<

I ordered the paint by number online and it’s printed on real canvas and came with acrylic paint, which is thick enough to go over the lines. But it’s from a weird company and now that I’m partly through it I’m noticing the colors are not really correct, it’s supposed to be lots of blues but they’re really much more green. :/ my room is blues and green though, so it will still match.

My mom taught me how to crochet. All the women in my mom’s family crochet. I’ve done some animals and other cool things. Once you know the basic stitch you can do anything! I’ve tried knitting but it’s so much harder to do. >.<

I’ve just been busy with work. We had some deliveries and pretty many customers. It’s been getting more cold and it’s been rainy this week so I think the mall has been more busy because people want to find an indoor place to be this week. XD

It’s taken me years to be really comfortable at work. And honestly mostly because the husband boss opened his own store and doesn’t come here anymore. He’s perfectly nice, but his voice and face are like he’s constantly disappointed in you. It was unnerving being around him. His wife Rachel (my boss now) is such a sweet and kind person she really puts me more at ease.

oohh are holidays a busy time for you or anything? does your store do anything cute/special for halloween? ^^
it's been colder and grey here too :0 i wonder how much of the grey is like blown over from the west coast fires .. ?

"his voice and face are like he’s constantly disappointed in you" loool that would totally stress me out!!
i really appreciate ppl who have warm personalities, it feels like a relief / weight off your shoulders to interact w them
i think now i'm a bit more jaded and sad lmao but when i was younger ppl told me i was really cheerful to be around, although i never thought anything of it at the time / took it for granted maybe? but now i feel like i understand and i really enjoy when other ppl are like that!

We usually get really busy for the holidays but I’m not sure about this year. With the virus-ness things are different this year. Usually we do trick-or-treating but not this year.

I used to be super cheerful and silly and full of energy, but then I got depression in my teens and a lot of that left. But I think I’m getting back to my old self more and more. ^^

awww children dressed up in costumes trick or treating T_T so cute!
i might have to go for a walk or something on halloween just to see if anyone's trick or treating!

do you get to decorate the store for halloween or anything??
whenever i run errands i've been on the lookout for halloween decorations but i haven't seen any for sale :< i would have loved to get some cute window stickers of ghosts or something lol
last year i got a mini pumpkin but i don't like that they do eventually go bad

ah yeah i feel that, glad to hear that though ^^

We don’t decorate the store at all, I think it’s just too hard to decorate without covering up something for sale. We’re a little shop so there isn’t any extra room anywhere. I would love to decorate if I could!
The apartment is fairly decorated. It’s not as much as for Christmas but I’m slowly accumulating decorations. I check Party City and Target for decorations, I don’t know where else people get them.

ahh i see, like there's no halloween specific merch or seasonal stuff?

that's fun! what kind of decorations do you have up? ^^
i love decorating but haven't really stayed in one place enough to accumulate anything to put up seasonally ... maybe in the future though!

We used to get some seasonal merchandise to sell, but it never sold so... we put it out every year but it’s the same things we can’t sell. >.<
lol

At the apartment I have autumn candles all over. Pillow cases for the couch pillows and a special autumn couch blanket. Some crochet and fabric pumpkins (small table ones). And last year I got a little stuffed unicorn in a Halloween witch costume for on a table. XD
