Y'all, It's Been A Hecking Month. Here's Some Of What I've Been Working On (and Why I Haven't Posted

Poll is still going, friends! Help me pick a project for the new year!

I finished that wip :) I’m so incredibly gone on these two wizards. I’m always so excited to draw essek but then I get decision paralysis bc I have to choose how to decorate him 😭

Kofi only allows 10 photos per listing and some of my sets have 12 items each. So here's an array of the product photos of the "Pocket Pals Starter" collection.

This listing is for a SMALL crochet pocket pal type amigurumi. This item is a finished product, NOT A PATTERN! Each item is handmade so sizes/colors/shapes will vary.

***These items have been made in a home with a cat so if you have allergies, please let me know ahead of time!!***

Item Details: Approximate height: Ranging between 4 in/10.16 cm and 5.5 in/13.97 cm tall

Materials used: Acrylic yarn, plastic safety eyes, poly fill stuffing, embroidery thread, felt, E6000 glue

*Washing instructions: Recommended spot cleaning by hand, but can be washed with a washing machine in a laundry bag (delicate setting and warm water) and air dried.

**The patterns for these items were created and designed by 53Stitches, and handmade by Sly Fox of Nerdvana Crafts. These items are intended as fanart, and I am in no way affiliated with Pokemon. These characters are owned and copyrighted by Pokemon.

Tumblr keeps burying this

But anyway, if you're going to NYCC there will be a Critter meetup at 6:15 pm after autographs and pics are done for the day.

Another meet up is planned for Saturday at 3

*Sighs in writer*

you know you’re a writer when…

you spend 30 minutes choosing the perfect synonym for “said” only to change it back to “said.”

you google “how long does it take to bleed out” at 3 a.m. and now the FBI is probably watching you.

you write one sentence, stare at it, rewrite it 14 times, and somehow end up back at the original version.

“this scene is so important” but you have no idea what the scene actually is or why it’s important.

you come up with the best story ideas… in the shower… with no way to write them down.

your characters feel like real people but also you’re like “who are these guys and what do they want from me?”

your brain says “start writing!” but instead you reorganize your desk, reread your notes, and spend two hours naming a side character who shows up once.

you’ve cried over your WIP exactly 67 times and will do it again because the pain is the point.

you reread something you wrote and think, “wow, did i peak as a writer three months ago?”

every writing session begins with the sacred ritual of scrolling social media, opening unnecessary tabs, and procrastinating until panic sets in.

you have no idea how long a chapter should be, so you just… vibe.

you can’t watch tv or movies without mentally critiquing the plot, dialogue, and pacing.

your writing playlist is 98% vibes, 2% songs you’ll actually listen to while writing.

you keep a “murder notebook” but swear it’s not suspicious because it’s for your novel (probably).

the phrase “just one more draft” is your eternal mantra, even though you’ve rewritten this thing more times than you can count.

New in the shop! Kagome and Inuyasha amis 💜 both of these cuties are $60 each + shipping

"We're drinking dead people tea?"

"Aren't we all?"

Bless you, Caduceus 🩷🩵

if you didn’t realize, ableism is actually bigotry and systemic ableism and inaccessibility are really oppression and it’s not something disabled people brought on ourselves by having bodies&minds that you think are inferior and therefore not worth fighting for. disabled people’s lives and wellbeing matter. we don’t have to earn our worthiness by doing “enough” to deserve a good life. nobody does.

Less of a shop update and more of a quality of life update. Had this custom etched tip jar made to have at shows with me so even if folks might not be able to afford something in the moment, they can still offer a buck or two in appreciation of my work 💜

*Custom glasswork done by MCEtching, the QR code pictured links to his Ko-Fi page, where he also has a shop of his own. He makes other items besides just jars and glassware (he's been doing jewelry lately), like the lovely worry stone as seen in my hand. 💜

Yahaha! He needs to find his friend!

Help! He needs to find his friend!

I finally finished the Woodland Traveler pattern by @i-crochet-things! I learned so much. This is only the second amigurumi I’ve ever finished and the third crochet thing I’ve ever made.

Anyway, his name is Forklift (if you know, you know) and he enjoys piña coladas and getting caught in the rain. He is also OSHA forklift certified.
