There's nothing quite like vinyl, its uncompressed and on a great listening system its as close to being in the recording studio with the artist as you will ever get.

Hobbies That Keep Me Sane (and Slightly Fermented)
Between motherhood, mental load, and trying to drink my coffee while it’s still hot, these are the hobbies that keep me grounded-ish. Think sourdough experiments, cozy reads, creative chaos, gardening dreams, and little rituals that make everyday life feel softer and more intentional.

Keep in mind these shows are all ones that you can half pay attention to and not really feel like you're missing anything. I won't be putting shows on here that require your full attention no matter how many times you've seen it (ie Game of Thrones)

One of my first jobs was as a production assistant, making handcrafted jewelry from semi-precious stones and fine wire metals of gold and silver. I learned how to twist wire into beautiful designs, which inspired me to create jewelry, as I am allergic to the metals in costume jewelry.

This list is made to help newbie wire jewelry crafters discover tools to get into the craft. As preference is subjective, this list is meant to inspire, not dictate, creative expression—the world of wire jewelry-making is yours, dear friend; dream up what you will.
