October Check-in
My September
I’m a month into my new job in the art studio, and it’s been great so far. There is a lot of physical labor especially with the ceramics. I have made 40 pounds of hand building clay as well as mixed various glazes in huge buckets. There’s lots of measuring and stirring and lifting and scraping. It is more interesting than being at a desk all day! Now that I’m no longer stressing about my previous job, I feel like I have more time to breathe. I’ve had a lot of good creative ideas this month. (So where are they? I need to post more.)
I have been doing great with my fitness! My main goal is to increase my core strength and arm muscles since I am doing a lot of lifting at work. I’ve actually got some arm muscle now. My goal is to have sore arms or sore legs after a gym visit.
Both of my sisters have adopted the kittens from my previous check-in! Feast your eyes upon the BABIES [EMOTE]

Description
Here's something I've been learning how to do: Gemstones! The method I've learned how to do is a work in progress; it's a lot of trial and error. This tutorial is pretty out of date and I would love to make an updated version.
