Yesterday was so wonderfully busy at #Denfur2025 that I didn't even have time to post, which means I also didn't have a chance to show you HIM.

My tribute to the unofficial fursona of Denver, it's #Blucifer, shiny and chrome... blue. Witness him and his rhinestone eye.

Limited edition of 4!
A plush of a rampant blue horse. It's made of slick, shiny blue Lycra with embroidered details. It has black hooves, mane and tail, and gleaming red rhinestone eyes. Unlike the sculpture it's inspired by, this plush has not ended its creator. (Yet?) The same plush from the back. Its back is made of blue minky fabric because it's a shelf-sitting plush meant for display. And because minky is fun to pet. The same plush, from behind so you can see the slimness of the waist (tricky to make, but it looks great!) and the width of the nice, well-balanced weighted base. Look you can't expect me to be completely dry when describing this, I'm allowed to be proud of my work! The same plush, this time with my attempt at spooky lighting. I'm not as good at lighting as I am at making plush.

A photo of my dealer's den booth display at DenFur. It's made of blue grid cubes with handmade plush and keychains displayed all over it. A plush of a rampant blue horse. It's made of slick, shiny blue Lycra with embroidered details. It has black hooves, mane and tail, and gleaming red rhinestone eyes. Unlike the sculpture it's inspired by, this plush has not ended its creator. (Yet?)

In the airport for less than five minutes before I spotted some other furries heading the same place I am 😁 At the gate, found a bunch more! I wonder if they're clocking me, too? 🤔 Maybe I should have dressed more 'mainstream fur' 🤭
Selfie of me, with cropped blue hair, glasses, and a pink plaid shirt dress. I'm wearing a mask and trying to look bemused but I think it just came off as startled?

We currently have 49 different fabrics to pick from for your Pal's body, some of which are down to their last one, and 28 different Pride flags to choose from!

( If you adopt a Pride Pal from this link directly, 3tsy gives me a fee discount! 🙏😁 )
nightengaleneedles.etsy.com/listing/2472...
swatches of fabrics you can get your custom Pride Pal made from! ** About FABRICS ** ** Do you have sensory issues that make touching certain kinds of fabrics tricky? ** Just send us a convo inquiring about any of the displayed fabrics and we'll tell you exactly what it feels like. Some are basic cotton, some are flannel, some are brocade, some are even corduroy! We want everyone to be 110% happy with their pal of choice. Hearts are made from ultra-soft minky on the front, and basic white nonwoven polyester on the back. ** About STEALTH ** We also offer a special STEALTH heart, the design of which will never be shown on the internet, for safety. STEALTH is for those that are currently not yet ready to be out, whether for safety or any other reason. YOU know what it means, and WE know what it means. STEALTH is a silent, private voice of support and love: *You can do this.* You're NEVER truly alone. And there's big open spaces and experiences waiting for you to shine in -- just hang on, and make it through. If you buy or are gifted a STEALTH heart, and you later find yourself ready to show your colors, just contact us online or at-con and we’ll exchange your stealth heart for your flag of choice with no extra cost to you: a congratulations. You worked hard, and we're proud of you. ** About BODY COLORS ** Each style choice is LIMITED in quantity. Usually no more than four are made from any given fabric, and some even less! When they're gone, they're gone! If you're in love with a particular body fabric for your Pal, please don't delay - we CANNOT reacquire these fabrics once they're used up! ALSO: Each style is an example of the fabric of choice. Your Pal may vary slightly from the pictured flat depending on where it's cut from the yardage: stripes may go a different direction; the pattern may be positioned differently. Please keep that in mind when making your selection!

The monster under the bed is on your side, and it's cheering for you. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️💕

For my birthday, we're featuring our ✨Pride Pals!✨ Meant for comfort, support, & repping your Pride, Pals are individually made just for you from reclaimed/recycled fabrics & your choice of flag. 🔗⤵️
A past customer made this as a gift for me a few years back. The Pride Pals are my babies. I've been making them for over 10 years! 🥹💙 These early Pride Pals, from back in 2014, look pretty stressed out! 😨 Their hearts used to be sewn onto the Pal back then, which made customizing a lot harder, and their Pride flags were made of fleece sewn together instead of custom printed minky like they are now. Plus, Pals these days smile a lot more 😁 Making the hearts a separate item instead of sewn onto the Pals' bellies also opened an opportunity for Shoulder Pets to hold the hearts too! ** BUT WHY THO? ** Because the thing is, PRIDE *isn't* always easy. It is bright happy rainbows but it's also tough, exhausting emotional work. That's why these Pride Pals exist: Because NO ONE should have to go it alone. Going off to college and nervous about being apart from your support network? Send along a Pride Pal to make it known: not one of us is ever truly alone. Have a friend who's been there for you, supporting you through your journey of self-discovery? Why not gift them a Pal with our Ally pillow! Now you can create a Pride Pal that's ALL your own! It's really easy to design a friendly monster for yourself, your partner, best friend, datemate, squish, metamour, or friend. * About PRIDE PALS ** Pride Pal Plush are 10" tall. Their bodies are 7" wide. Every Pride Pal has vinyl fangs and little wings, and 24mm black plastic safety eyes. They're ready for you to give them a big hug...or they can bite the stuffing out of anyone who doesn't respect your Pride! They hug your Pride Flag of choice between their little paws, in celebration and in solidarity. Whether in happiness or sadness, these Pals are there for you. They "get it," and they'll always return your hugs with enthusiasm. About FABRICS ** ** Do you have sensory issues that make touching certain kinds of fabrics tricky? ** Just send us a convo inquiring about any of the displayed fabrics and we'll tell you exactly what it feels like. Some are basic cotton, some are flannel, some are brocade, some are even corduroy! We want everyone to be 110% happy with their pal of choice. Hearts are made from ultra-soft minky on the front, and basic white nonwoven polyester on the back.

Featuring a similar level of simplicity as the Shoulder Pets, Sit-uppies are a budget-conscious option for characters that aren't as likely to sploot!

Meet the Sit-uppies! An adaptation of the Shoulder Pet pattern, Sit-uppies were especially designed for anthro-style upright characters. The pattern was carefully developed to use the base of their tail and their back legs to help them sit up.

Are you guys ready to meet our newest Plush style? Debuting this year! As is obvious, the Sleepyheads and Shoulder Pets lean heavily on the feral side, and anthro characters have not been as well represented by our custom plush. Well no longer!
