I am currently on my way to a Very Important Jury! This is the last step to achieving a childhood dream of mine :)

I’m SO NERVOUS y’all. Hopefully I’ll be back soon with wonderful news!

Have some mostly finished turtles while you wait! I’ll bring photos of them finished when I have news!

I don’t like how gosh darn close to single digit numbers we are. It’s so close!!

Today is for turning this giant pile of fabric into some fidget friends. As much as I want to continue prototyping, I can’t forget about making sure I’m stocked for winter markets!

Hello bsky friends!

I am caught up on all of my youtube. I'm caught up on all of my podcasts. I'm even caught up on all of my shows!!

What are your favorite "no brain" background shows? I love listening to audiobooks, too, but sometimes they need too much attention for working, you know?

12 days to go, but breaks are really important, too. It’s me and BF’s anniversary this weekend, so we both took off work to go apple and pumpkin picking. Have a lovely Friday everyone 💜

I’ve liked how this little darling has looked since the very beginning, which means I have been terrified of messing her up the entire time.

Almost done. #art #witchsky

13 days left!! It’s a BUSY time in the studio 😭 photoshop ate my files, so I lost all of yesterday’s work on my backing card/business card/plush tag order.

Send coffee ☕️

And maybe a photoshop wrangler

I’m finally happy with my turtle pattern. Good thing, too, since my jury is officially two weeks away!

Todays a busy day full of admin work, embroidery digitizing, and rounding off some WIPs before diving into a new pattern.

Finally got my hands on a copy of Bill Watterson and John Kascht’s “The Mysteries”. It was phenomenal!

My favorite spread is the one of the guy drinking a frappe in his car: “the people loved luxuriously”

I made a little countdown calendar to help with my time blindness running up to the Very Important Jury on Nov 1. Prepping for this jury while *also* prepping for my biggest show of the year is a Tall Order! The hand lettering isn’t the greatest, but writing each individual day was so helpful.

Currently in prototyping hell. I love turtles, they’re worth it, but I’m 7 turtles in and still not happy 😭

Hiya everyone!

I'm currently dealing with some No Fun Legal Stuff involving Purrmaids that's going to cost me at LEAST a few thousand dollars in legal fees and a few thousand MORE in additional costs.

It's a GREAT time to think about getting a plush is all I'm saying 👀

Be safe out in the woods this spooky season!

Bring some salt with you, and if you happen upon a folkloric hag made of gnarled bark, weeping and creaking in the autumn breeze, do not accept any gifts from her, and do NOT ask about her wooden child.

This is exactly why I sell mostly in person and haven’t been on Etsy in years! It was really a death by a thousand cuts, starting in like 2016. I’m so sad that it’s no longer a good option for those just starting out, it used to be perfect for selling on while building your own audience.
Etsy is overrun by AI image creators and mass produced items. Etsy shareholders have decided Etsy makes more money if they don’t kick these shops out.

Artists and makers can no longer rely on Etsy for steady income. We have taken to craft shows and festivals. Find one in your area. Support us.
Do you go to craft shows? Why or why not? Please be honest.

Currently stress testing the Floppy Fidget Friends. If they can withstand my ADHD nonsense for an entire road trip, they can withstand anything.

He’s made with mochi minky and filled with poly pellets, so he’s super stretchy and floppy and fun to squish!
