Omgosh Tiny Phoenix!

Hi, it's me. I've been busy. Socials took a back seat for a bit. Here's what new in the Nerdvana shop! Reblogs welcome!

Wow, do you ever go onto tumblr every day but completely forget to post about the new things you're crocheting at any point? Because I do. I've been working on a bunch of stuff since the last time I was active on this tumblr! Sometimes I remember to post about it on Instagram and sometimes I don't, but tumblr is way cooler than Instagram anyway - so I'm going to try to remember to post here as well!

This is a cute lil chicken pattern that's available free over at 53stitches.com! I signed up for a lot of conventions this year, the next one is Gold Coast Supanova on April 12th & 13th - these little birbs have been so popular, and I'm glad because they are heckin' fun to make.

I made 12 designs in all (+ an extra highly requested Cockatiel I still need to write up) and I'm trying to add all of my old patterns to the website for free over the next few months, so keep an eye out! Plus making youtube content! So much going on, and yet I don't want to blab about it on social media as per usual 😂

@thejaycorn @thestarfishface Tell me that first one isn't a rough draft of Sparks!

Reblog to let your followers know that they’re safe from jumpscares/screamers/etc from you on April 1st but they are NOT safe from getting boop’d like an idiot amen

if your class solidarity doesn’t include people who are on SSI, food stamps, or are unable to work it’s not solidarity

Got my mail club today from @thestarfishface. Had to rearrange a bit, but enjoy the children!

You’re tired. Burnt out. Exhausted. Stressed.

This lowers your capacity for emotional regulation.

You’ll cry more easily. Get dragged into low moods more easily. Simple little things where you’re like ‘dang, that shouldn’t hit so hard,’ will wallop you.

This will trick you into thinking you’re weak and can’t handle life. A loser.

Not so my friend.

It’s a signal that you need a nap, need to allow for more sleep at night, need to prioritize and scale back on what you can accomplish in a day, need to take a mental health day or even a leave.

Something’s got to give.

But!

It’s not your self worth.

End of May Update

Thanks to some generous donations, I've had to update my latest Ko-Fi goal for con funding, and as a bonus, show off what I've been working on now that my spell slots are coming back. https://ko-fi.com/post/End-of-May-Update-J3J7YS0WF

SORRY FOR THE VERY PERSONAL COMIC!!

This is my half of “Unhealthy”, an essay comic double header with the lovely and talented Sarah Winifred Searle. She and I both wrote about our personal experiences as overweight ladies with eating disorders, and her story is breathtaking! You can buy a physical copy of the book here: https://topatoco.com/collections/abby-howard/products/ah-unhealthy
