So excited for next week's Once Upon a Con in National Harbor - we know it will be a blast, and are super excited to see some of our favorite authors, artists, and makers (like @jocelynshort.bsky.social!!)

Super interesting piece on greenwashing. I'd love to see more about this, especially in regards to textiles and how we identify what's truly environmentally friendly, beyond just reusing or upcycling materials in wasteful, pro-chemical, or pro-plastic ways 💚

Should I be prepping more inventory for Queensland Faire next week? Yep. Am I okay with my reprioritization? HELL yep.

Happy Pride y'all!

A reminder to every nonprofit, every creative, every person who is lacking resources and turns to generative AI for help - that technology is DESTROYING our environment. I know it's often a "free", useful tool, but - if you are able to - please consider the long-term cost of every prompt you run. 💔🌍

If you're a #maker and don't have at LEAST one bestie that will randomly go to the thrift shop/craft store/IKEA with you, what are you even doing?

This #earthday I'd like to shout out all the ways Amaranth is a sustainable costume shop, fighting against ecowaste while giving new life to aging textiles

Real talk, getting to do events all over the Mid-Atlantic is incredible, and I am SO lucky to have drives home like this.

Don't get me wrong, events are exhausting - and my fibro keeps me on my toes - but I am humbled that I get the opportunity to do this

We can't wait to see you at all the amazing #fairy #fantasy and #renaissance faires this year!

I am beyond lucky to have acces to such amazing, #vintage fabrics from my mother and late grandmother. I cannot wait to use these all - even the small sample pieces!!

Yessss! I know @dcpubliclibrary.bsky.social does 🙌🏼🙌🏼

Getting hype 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

Keep an eye for more events to be added, as this is just the start 🤗

Sending out big hugs to vendors at #katsucon - if anyone had products destroyed, how can we help?? 🤢

Thinking about all #joann store employees - I know SO many of them work there because they share our passion for creating, and now many of them are just sitting, waiting for their stores to close.

As a maker I am so saddened, and as a human I am heartbroken

Had sooooo much fun at Mythicon this past weekend. Wasn't a strong weekend for sales, but saw familiar faces at the con, connected with and met some AMAZING other vendors, and just had a fabulous time ❤️❤️❤️

Was having some tension issues, so figured it was a good time to clean my #sewing machine 🤢😂

Thissss!!!

Ah! I'm overwhelmed!
But excited to find another new space to connect with artists, artisans, makers, cosplayers, geeks, nerds, rennies, fae and y'know, just ....our people!
