Hi everyone just checking in to say I survived retail hell of December mostly unscathed! I had an ER trip for a gallbladder attack two days before Xmas and I’ve basically been avoiding holiday foods as much as I can since then. May have surgery in my near future, but currently doing okay!

Just a general heads up, my responses will be a little slow the next few weeks as I’m entering the literal retail hell week at my day job. Estimating 65+ hours this week alone, so wish me luck!

Be kind to retail workers! ❤️

Thanks to those who showed up to my pigeon panel!

Once again, we hit capacity before it even started. Despite the projector not working and a lack of space, this was my favorite panel ever.

On our way back to KC! Travel safe everyone!

Well MFF! It’s been another amazing weekend, never enough time or energy to see everyone and do everything, but pleased with the chaotic fun we had. Got a little time to suit as Tilly and Eloise, spent too much money, bought a goose with a knife, a flamingo and caught up with some wonderful friends!

Look, if there’s bird merchandise… I gotta get bird merch.

Last day at MFF Dealers Den! Lots of goodies still around, help me pack home lighter! I’m sad this may be my last visit to MFF for a long time so if you’re in love with something, come grab it!

Wish the waiter at the restaurant we had dinner at hadn’t taken thirty minutes to come back to us so we could pay. We missed out on Storytime because of it. :(

How it feels when you’re trying to scarf food real fast between customers and someone walks up to ask you something

Still lots of sculptures ready to find new homes! I have boxes and packing materials to get them to you safely as well!

This isn’t your Country Goose! I had some fun with the theme this year for MFF! Come check us out at A1-3!

We’re set up at MFF! Lots of new cups, magnets, vases and sculptures! Come see us at A1-3 in the Dealers Den!

Please please PLEASE SHARE!

ArtSea is such a sweetie and is such an iconic staple to see at cons — things happen outside of anyone’s control and it hurts my heart so much to hear they can’t make it to MFF!

PLEASE consider supporting them via shop and at least SHARE SHARE SHARE THEIR POST!!!!!
We were ready for MFF but the road had other plans!

Lost a fender, trailer's dented up bad, our new tire exploded, took tow roadside assisters to get us going again, but nobody got hurt, and that's what really counts!

We're back home with all our stock and a sale!

General heads-up in regards to MFF:
This will likely be my last MFF as long as I work at my day-job. (Currently at 9+ years) It’s unfortunately putting me at odds with my boss as they don’t like giving out ANY days in December, let alone a full week. I asked off 18 months in advance for this year…

In the final push for MFF, squeezing in some new illustrated vases!

Check out this insane vase commission from Anthrocon 😵

@tillette.bsky.social does fursona commissions on pottery, and this is by far one of the coolest pieces I have now 🥹

Don’t skip on interesting booths in the Den, you never know what you’ll see!

Working on some Paw Mugs for MFF in a few weeks! If anyone has any colors they’d like to see that I haven’t done, let me know and I’ll try to make it happen!

Furries, we need to talk about something very important. With Midwest FurFest just a month away, we need to address the elephant in the room

For the past few months, ICE, Border Patrol, & other federal agents have been storming throughout the Chicago area, where MFF is located (1/5)
new: federal agents have targeted rideshare drivers at o'hare on at least ten separate days since october 10.

in some cases, agents returned to abduct drivers multiple times in a single day, taking as many as ten to 20 people each time.

Federal agents have repeatedly terrorize rideshare drivers at O’Hare International Airport.

Firefighter is done and drying now! Making sure I’m being careful with my blow torch in the background.

Fursuit Friday Special Halloween Edition and introduction! Everyone meet Elodie!! I’ve been in love with this suit since I saw it a few years ago, and was lucky enough to snag it when it recently was for sale! I’m excited to share Elodie alongside Tilly! (Also sneaky cameo by Fuji)

Finally got a peaceful weekend to start some new sculpts. These two roughed in very quickly/easily. Fingers crossed should be ready to hollow out in the next day or so and I’ll be able to tighten up the details after that!

I try not to post junk like this, but I’m really not doing well right now. My husband has been having health issues over the last couple of months, things that are going to be manageable soon, but the stress of his things on top of the absolute doom that is just existing is really weighing me down.

Hi everyone, sad news. One of my vases from AC that was purchased and shipped to my customer was unfortunately stolen from their apartment’s mail room. I know it’s an incredibly long shot, but if you see this on the internet for sale or in the Sioux Falls, SD area; please let me know!!!
