#reesa makes stuff

[an-sceal]

Behold my baby sketchbook! Covers are wallpaper samples, stitching is a messy coptic binding that I then hid under cloth because it was ugly and annoying. Signatures are... some cheap cotton watercolour paper I got when I was first buying painting supplies that will be fine for a sketchbook.

I AM STUPIDLY PROUD. WITNESS ME!

[starstruck-sillies]

Was looking through our Octocon app and saw a few funny things I wanted to share (There's no personal info in these screenshots and everyone is okay with me posting these, it's just silly stuff we put in and then forgot about)

Thank you Kaz, very informative

She was going through it, and she still doesn't like that she's the host now. We think she probably did a lot of the descs for our Octo/SP, but we can't remember for certain. It would explain a lot though. Some were definitely written by the alters themselves tho lol

We did not, in fact, update it later. This has been their desc for months and we have yet to change it

Once again, very informative I know. I'd also like to mention that he has a journal titled "new gender just dropped come get yalls juice" and it was completely empty, nothing typed in it at all. Something about TimesNewBastardFontic iirc?

Idk, I thought it'd be fun to share a few silly things we have in our Octocon (That wouldn't be tmi or make any alters uncomfortable)

((Honorable mention; Reesa, when you said "Bitch and moan some more it gets my rocks off" in one of your journals, what the fuck did you mean by that??? Girl you good????))

[cryptid-called-ash]

Have you got any head cannons about Miraak and Vilkas because you have started to make me ship them.

I Will slowly convert everyone here to shipping these two.

The ship name I went with is Mid Grohiik, which means loyal wolf.

The wolf twins have a similar dynamic to the dragon brothers, bisexual older brother and Ace little brother.

They met when Miraak was dragged along by Breyth to the companions hall in order to dole out some missions. So of course he’s trash talking as always and he ends up in an intellectual debate with vilkas. (At which point, Breyth and Farkas decided to back away slowly and go put dresses and fight stuff)

Neither have any idea of how courtship work! Hijinks ensue. Breyth tries to help, but he grew up in the shivering isles, so his ideas of courtship are wack at the best of times. Farkas keeps suggesting food.

Miraak 100% uses dragon aspect as a way to show off to Vilkas.

Vilkas is pretty much only using ancient texts to parce out how to court a dragonborn.

Dragon Courting Hoards!! Bc it’s a favourite trope of mine.

Miraak’s love language is gifts and words. Vilkas’ is acts of service and words.

Breyth has the rings make by his blacksmith friend Reesa of New Sheoth. One is gold, with a moonstone set between golden dragon wings. The other is hard steel, with a sapphire set in a wolf’s jaws.

I think the wolf twins should definitely join the dragon guard. So romantic rides on dragon back are definitely a thing.

Vilkas helps Miraak get used the modern life. Things like politics and economic condition that a 17 year old from a different province is already struggling to understand and can’t really help with.

That’s all I got for now! How this was to your liking💚

Sam’s rejected ads

“All over my Emmet Smith commemorative snuggle!”

“IT’S A TROY AIKMEN SNUGGIE!!!”

SAM THAT SONG ROUGH DRAFT WASN’T FUNNY omg

I like how Sam’s ads are clearly 90% to make his friends die of laughter and 10% to actually promote D&D Beyond

Not immediately knowing that Jester was drawing a dick with her sparkler smh

Fjord seems really not sure about this town and I love it

Marisha/Beau meanwhile is really into it

get a big big sack of salt

I do have a giant jar of salt! Last time Nakki visited she was like “You don’t even use salt much, why do you have a HUGE JAR of it” and I was like, I guess because I don’t use it much...

Though I will say large-grain kosher salt is great for cleaning crusty bits out of pans, especially cast iron.

There is no situation where "I'm going to go read some Terry Pratchett" is not an acceptable answer.

This is true. He is a balm to the soul and whatever you are taking too seriously, he has made fun of, it’s kind of great.

drgaellon reblogged your post and added:

It’s called “thread seal tape” or “Teflon tape”

THE TAPE IS A LIE! I swapped out the shower heads at the Bartment this morning and I only bought two yards of the stuff because like, how much tape could I need, but then I dropped the roll and because it DOESN’T ADHERE tape was eeeeverywhere.

I salvaged it, but I was like WHY IS THIS CALLED TAPE, IT HAS NO STICKUM. 

It does work though. Once I got it on it was great. 

reesa-chan replied to your post “clockways replied to your photoset...”

...wait. I own more than twice as many different kinds of mustard as you? I think I had 15 at last count.

Being fair to me, I’ve been trying to eat them up so I have fewer to move :D

And these days honestly most of my mustards are gifts so I don’t have strict control over how many I have on any given day. But I eat a lot of mustard so it’s a constantly rotating cast! 

I’m out of Plochman’s and I have like, two spoonfuls of the garlic mustard left. I’m saving them for a special occasion.

I love that there's at least two of everything except the mayo. It's like whoever set up the picture was like, "we're going overboard on everything here, and acknowledge that even one bottle of mayo is too much mayo”

Oh my god I’m kind of gagging just thinking about two entire bottles of mayonnaise...

atalantapendrag replied to your post “Omg Sam...”

I gave Moxie a second try not long ago - well chilled, it was starting to grow on me by the last sip. But I also like Dr. Brown's Cel-Ray Tonic and DRY Soda's cucumber flavor and lavender flavor.

I’m still hoping to try cel-ray tonic! I really liked the fake version I made with sugar celery syrup. 

I like Moxie but the full-sugar is the better of the two, and I can only drink so much of it before it messes with my digestion. 

But someday I will go to the Moxie Festival. 

rsfcommonplace replied to your post “Omg Sam...”

Wait. They make a Moxie candle? I mean, I'll sip at a Moxie once in a great while, but I'm not sure I'd want to make my apartment smell like the stuff.

Oh no sorry, those two were unrelated -- they don’t make a Moxie candle but they do sell Moxie in a cooler and I was like “Hey look at this cool old-fashioned bottle” and Sci was like “Have you never had Moxie?” and then bought me one and told the cashiers “He’s never had Moxie” and I drank it and approved of it right there in the store :D It was pretty magical watching the cashiers go from “anxious anticipation” to “beaming with joy” as I downed it.

dorkilybeautiful replied to your post “Startled yell #3...”

The two things that occur to me: 1) mirrors are also sometimes used to reflect/repel, and it may be the CLOSET, not the mirror that's the issue, and 2) you might be wise to be careful about this thing in the dark, though that's a personal superstition.

I did instinctively start storing all the doors I pulled off of all the other closets and cabinets in the Possibly Accursed Closet. *thoughtful* 

[opperationpecan]

Who all is still in the opperation?

That. Is an interesting question….

because I don’t really know.

Ace (Wy) will be with us until they go to university but I’m not sure of the actual date. (Bonus, they have actually created a CMV we are working on it now)

Michaela (Australia) is really good about “on-call” stuff

Ali (Romano) Although far away puts a lot of effort in doing videos when asked.

Katie (Italy) Probably the MOST RELIABLE out of EVERYONE.

Britt (France) Is also someone who’s still fairly involved but I wager will stop around September when she will go to university full-time.

Reesa (Scotland) is another person who is really good about helping out.

Zach (England) Has a busy schedule but definitely makes time for videos.

Gaby (Greece) Another person who lives far away but is down for videos

JIll (Hungary) The Second Most Reliable Person.

Krow (Austria) A rare one TO GET but WILL DO videos when he can

Onto the-people-who-haven’t-left-yet-but-it-seems-like-it-list:

Nick (Japan), Rowan (America), Snow (Canada), Emma (Norway), Heather (Finland), Wil (Germanly), and I THINK Speckles (2p!England).

The people listed above have things going on in their lives where they can’t do videos. I feel like at least half of them will stop being in videos all-together by the end of the summer. I really HOPE I’m wrong. Most everyone is just really busy with work, school, or both; With Wil, Nick and Speckles though it’s more guilt on my end than anything because I feel like I’m bothering them when I contact them about filming after not actually hanging out together in so long without cosplay -

[wordsbetweenthelines]

hey there self

today you Did Stuff

void

no

mom woke you up like COME HELP HAVE LOST MOLLY

so you went out to hunt down a molly

found her in the woods

.........eating.........dirt?????

her nose fluff was all dusty, and her nose and tongue were muddy and her teeth were kinda gross, but mom said it smelled not like shit, so

you should have taken a picture. didn’t realize until hours later you could have captioned it “YOU GOT MUD ON YOUR FACE, YOU BIG DISGRACE”

and now, a moment of silence for that missed opportunity. a joke that died before it could be born

but then void

you think there might have been a nap in there somewhere

you finished watching riverdale. what the actual fuck. and you watched orphan black. just when you thought that show couldn’t possibly get any more bonkers, it did

next time, taking the dogs out:

you: hey can I get a thing out of your closet? I have an idea I want to try mom: *comes to the door with christmas collars in hand* mom: is this what you wanted? you: that is EXACTLY what I wanted

the christmas collars. they have JINGLE BELLS on. when molly wears the jingle bell collar? she CANNOT HIDE LOSE HERSELF IN THE WOODS

it was an Excellent Plan.

(”oh the cleverness of me!”)

mom moved all of the dickens village pieces from nasty old cardboard boxes to new tubs, so you dragged them out of the crawl space for her, and then fished around for them for her to organize. alphabetically.

then a run of errands. and dinner: subway. you dislike their sandwich sizing system. 

stream was good stuff. there was a documentary on babies, and everyone was very good about not talking about the gross bits while they were on, and telling you when they were gone, which you appreciated. you weren’t going to watch any of it at all, on account of You Have No Positive Emotions For Babies Specifically For Number Two. but it turned out to be about, like, parenting styles? around the world. so it was really cool. and then there was miss fisher to wind down.

oh! and you left like eight comments on fics that have been languishing in your open tabs waiting for you to remember how to words. so that felt good!

tomorrow

clothes

teeth

breakfasts all around

put tubs away, maybe

help reesa, 11

......shower??

dad home, 3-5.....ish.

ice cream!

oh, and think an idea for dinner? 

help make dinner

[an-sceal]

My bff was here for a visit, so naturally we decided to eat yummy things and make some art together. I taught him how to make books, and he researched some insane French binding that blew me away after making his first chain stitch journal (and then promptly his second and third) about 12 hours before.

I made a cased journal with marbled endpapers, and then did some foil accents on the cover. (You can also see a peek of my WIP in the last pic.)

Hi Reesa!

I’m not very familiar with kpop, but I’m interested in learning more about the genre… Do you have any recommendations for new listeners?

I’m also just really passionate about language learning in general and was wondering if you speak Korean? If you do, or if you’re currently learning, and happen to have any language learning tips you’ve found helpful, I’d love to hear them ♡

— 🪽

HII!! ♡︎♡︎♡︎ Omgg kpop is such a fun genre I’m so glad you’re interested in wanting to know more about it hehe ♡´･ᴗ･`♡ In terms of my recommendations (i’m so biased LSNSKS) I would say that you should definitely check out txt/enhypen! Txt was my first kpop group and I really like how varied their music was (for example tinnitus, anti-romantic, and sugar rush ride all sound sooo different but they’re really good songs!)

enhypen is also really good and if i were to recommend you a song to listen to it would definitely be fever or chaconne!! ESPECIALLY CHACONNE ITS SO GOOD, YOUR EARS WILL BE BLESSED!!! I also really like upbeat cute songs to dance to so if that’s something you like you can try listening to groups like newjeans and stayc! There’s so many other groups I can name but omg I feel like I’m writing you an essay HELP-

Also, I don’t speak korean! D: I’ve been wanting to learn for so long but haven’t really been consistent! But if you’re getting into kpop, that’s already a good start in itself! Getting into songs and reading lyrics have helped me a little for sure, and you should definitely try watching some kdramas as well if that’s something you’re into :> Something I’ve also done is write down the korean letters in a notebook and practicing them that way, like having your own language journal you can use to write down basic sentences and words (which in my opinion is much more helpful in making you memorize stuff than typing it out!)

This was so many words I TRIED TO SHORTEN IT BUT I DIDNT KNOW HOW TO SUMMARIZE AHH BUT I HOPE THIS HELPED A LITTLE D: ♡︎♡︎♡︎

Making A Murderer, Chapter 1, Episode 1: Reesa Evans Body Language Analysis

Chapter 1 / Episode 1 / Steven’s Appointed Lawyer

Reminder–Purpose of Blog

When I write, for both this blog and my general body language blog, I aim to empower people to read and understand body language, so that they can spot the same behaviours within their daily lives and present the best versions of their self to others. If I only look at deceptive behaviours, I miss many important behaviours. It’s entertaining to read about interesting ‘characters’ and their deceptive behaviours, but we can learn a lot from all characters.

Reesa Evans, Steven’s Appointed Lawyer (1985)

Reesa Evans

“This was one of the biggest miscarriages of justice I ever saw in twenty years of criminal defence work and thousands of cases. Manitowoc County is working-class farmers. And the Avery family, they weren’t that. They dealt in junk. They had a salvage yard. They lived on Avery Road, I mean they had their own road and stuff. They didn’t dress like everybody else; they didn’t have education like other people; they weren’t involved in all the community activities. I don’t think it ever crossed their mind that they should try to fit into the community. They fit into the community that they had built, and that was enough.”

Self-Soothing Behaviours

Reesa self-soothes as she talks, her hands gently rubbing against each other, extending out towards her wrists. She then clasps her hands together with fingers firmly interlocked; this is another indicator of distress and discomfort.

Like with other nonverbal gestures, the slightest feeling of emotion is conveyed through our body, facial expression or voice. Most people are rarely consciously aware of the subtle emotions they experience, but this can be improved with practise. When you learn to observe your own behaviours, you start to notice that subtle gestures are beautifully synchronised with your thoughts.

To give you an example of this, my husband often points out the behaviour of my toes. Like the rest of our body, the toes respond to our emotional state. Most of the time, I'm not consciously aware of my toe behaviour, so Lee taps on them as they start to curl, drawing my attention to them as we sit watching television.

The slightest bit of negativity and sure enough my toes are curling. It’s not always related to what we’re watching. When Lee draws attention to them, I shift my attention to my thoughts, often realising my attention had deviated from the TV show to something else that’s causing concern. Without a doubt, there are negative thoughts and emotion present, causing my toes to respond.

I want to make clear that our behaviour–the language of our body–responds to emotion no matter how subtle it is. We don’t necessarily have to be experiencing a deep emotion.

Interlocked Fingers and Discomfort

There are very subtle differences in our gestures, depending on the depth of the emotion. For example, Reesa’s fingers are loosely interlocked with relaxed fingers, showing some degree of discomfort. If her discomfort levels were elevated further, we’d expect to see interlocked fingers that are tense and straight.

Reesa flits between discomfort gestures (soothing and interlocked fingers) to use purposeful hand gestures to describe or emphasise her words visually. If she were feeling deep discomfort, we would most likely see her forego purposeful hand gestures. Instead, she'd probably keep her hands and fingers tightly interlocked or continue to self-soothe.

We can establish from what we observe that Reesa is only feeling low levels of stress or discomfort. And we can assume that this stems from recalling and describing something that she views as unfavourable, an injustice that she feels passionate about, or the fact that she is being filmed.

Nonverbal cues are reliable. They are the language of emotions and can be incredibly insightful once we understand them. But what nonverbal cues can’t do is tell us why an emotion is present. We can assume, but we can never take our assumptions as truth. It’s up to us, as observers of emotion, to change our own behaviour, responding accordingly to what we see. Only then can we figure out why an emotion is present.

If we don’t observe or we chose to ignore our observations, we won’t get any further.

7 Event Ideas to Try in Your Retail Store

https://120profit.com/?p=2228&utm_source=SocialAutoPoster&utm_medium=Social&utm_campaign=Tumblr Never underestimate the power of communities, particularly in today’s retail landscape. In an age when shoppers can buy what they need with a click or tap of a button, brick-and-mortar retailers need to work extra hard to drive foot traffic and engage consumers. One of the best ways to do this is to cultivate human relationships through community-building and events. When implemented correctly, in-store events and activities give people a compelling reason to head to your store. And if you play your cards right, those visits could lead to higher brand awareness, customer loyalty, and ultimately, more sales. So, what kinds of events should you run? Like with most questions, the answer to that is it depends. A number of factors will come into play when deciding what type of event to set up and how to do it. These include: Shared interests – What are the common hobbies or activities that your customers like to engage in? What do they want to learn about? Identifying these things will help you figure out the theme and structure of your event. Location – Are your audiences centered in specific locales or are they spread out? If everyone lives in a particular area — say your store’s neighborhood — then it makes sense to hold it in your location. If not, then you can work on finding another venue or implementing a virtual event. Demographics – Which age groups do your customers fall into? What’s their profession, income, educational level, gender, etc? The answers to these questions will help you decide on the nature of your event. It also helps to get inspiration from retailers that are doing an excellent job with their events. Here are a few to get you started: 1. Hold a class Quench your customers’ thirst for knowledge by holding classes so they can pick up new knowledge and skills. It’s a great way to bring people together in your store, and depending on the class, you can even use it as an opportunity to showcase what your products can do. If you’re a winery, for example, you can hold wine tasting classes in your store. Running a craft store? Throw in some DIY classes in your events calendar. Sephora is a master at in-store classes. The cosmetics retailer regularly holds various makeup classes in many of its locations. Topics vary from makeup techniques to skincare, and more. The classes are extremely high-touch. The instructors and in-store associate handpick products based on each student’s skin type and needs, and everyone gets their own makeup station where they can apply products. There’s absolutely no pressure to purchase the products that you used in the class, so the atmosphere is really comfortable. Once the class is done, the associates distribute product samples and send people on their way. Sephora also has a great follow-up practice. A few days after the class they email you a note from your instructors, along with an invitation to purchase the products you used in the class. 2. Put together a runway show This even type works best for apparel and accessories. If you’re bringing in fresh merchandise or launching a new product line, why not hold a runway show to showcase your items? Bring in some models or better yet, ask your customers to participate. That’s what Justice, an apparel store for girls and tweens did last year. In honor of the back-to-school season in 2018, Justice ran fashion shows in several of its stores, giving girls the opportunity to strut their stuff while sporting their back-to-school looks. To kick off Back-to-School season, Justice held “We Are Justice” Fashion Shows at every Justice store nationwide. Check out our recap:https://t.co/1vop7xqZrj #AD #LiveJustice #WeAreJustice #BacktoSchool #JusticeRunway pic.twitter.com/QVyPwgUl3t — Reesa Lewandowski (@mommalewsblog) July 26, 2018 Running a similar event could work well for you, too. The next time you want to showcase your new or seasonal items, consider letting your customers model those outfits for your brand. 3. Celebrate a product launch with a sale and in-store services Another cool way to unveil a new product or partnership is to celebrate its launch — literally. Pop some champagne, decorate your store, and get in a festive mood. You can even hold a sale while you’re at it! Birchbox’s SoHo location did just that in January of 2018 when they launched VERB Haircare. They held free hairstyling sessions in-store, ran a promotion, and served drinks to guests. This is a great initiative if you’re looking to showcase new products that can’t really be modeled on the runway. If you’re selling these types of products, show them off through services and samples in-store. 4. Hold offsite events Retail events don’t always have to take place inside your store. If you have a lot of people attending or if you’re in the sports and outdoors niche, then it makes more sense to promote activities outside your location. Pace Athletic, an Aussie retailer specializing in running footwear and gear, does a great job at this. Pace created the “Pace Run Club,” where members go out together and participate in running events in different parts of Australia. In addition to strengthening their community, these events also fueled the growth of their business. “Pace Run Clubs are moving advertisements for our brand,” said Will Hatton, the co-owner of Pace Athletic. Will said that he and co-founder invested in professional photography during these events, and doing so improved their growth even more. The professional photos also gave Will and Stuart high-quality content for Facebook and Instagram, which increased social media engagement. “We find that folks tag themselves and reshare our photos a lot more after we started doing professional photography,” said Will. “As our social media numbers trended up, we also saw more folks joining our weekly runs which was great!” One of the best takeaways from Pace Athletic’s story is that community-centric activities and events can also help your marketing. So if you’re looking for ways to bring people together  — while putting your brand out there at the same time — running the right event could help you achieve that goal. 5. Set up a “pop-in” shop If you have a large store, then having temporary “pop-in” shops could spruce up your location. Think of them as pop-up events, but ones that take place inside your store. You could come up with a specific theme and create your pop-in shop (or “store within a store”) in your location. For best results, partner with another brand or vendor to make it happen. That was the case with swimwear brand Segara. Last year, Segara partnered with Cuyana, a California-based retailer that sells women’s essentials, to hold pop-in events in their location. See if you can do something similar. If you’re looking to spice things in your store, find a brand that aligns with your values, put together a pop-in event, and co-market it for maximum impact. 6. Invite an expert Educational events don’t always have to take the form of classes. Expert talks and commentaries can also do the trick. If you’re connected to experts or influencers in your niche, invite them to share their knowledge with your community. Travel and lifestyle brand Away implemented this recently when they brought in experts in their stores to talk about ancient divination practices. What about you? Who can you invite to speak to your community? Connect with them and invite them to your store. 7. Hold a meet-and-greet If you have relationships with the authors, artists, or designers behind your merchandise, try getting them into your location for a meet-and-greet. This works particularly when they’re launching a new product — i.e., book, fashion line, project etc. Get in though with that author or artist (or their publicist) and see if they’d be willing to come in. For example, when Liane Moriarty published her book, Nine Perfect Strangers, in 2018, she went on a book tour where she headed to various bookstores to talk about her new book and sign copies. You could also use meet-and-greets (or almost any event type, for that matter) as perks for your best customers. For example, when Saks Fifth Avenue ran its Saks IT List Townhouse for New York Fashion Week, they had a special meet-and-greet opportunity with Harper’s Bazaar editor in chief Glenda Bailey and fashion designer Jeremy Scott. The opportunity was extended exclusively to American Express platinum cardholders and SaksFirst card members, so it also serves as a way for Saks to reward its cardholders (and those of American Express).

WIP, but I broke in the watercolour sketchbook I made.

I never remember Before pics, so here are some After pics and Before from the next tree to be made.

It's been awhile since I got to spin anything. This is a lovely Rambouillet from Zen Fiber Arts. Unnamed colourway, but she said it was her ode to fall when I bought it. I've never spun this breed before, and the fiber is super soft and has a nice staple length. I've got two more hanks, and then I'm going to ply for a nice squishy 3-ply. Maybe it'll be a hat.
