You've gotta love Jews more than you hate Nazis.

You've gotta love trans folks more than you hate TERFs.

You've gotta love your unhoused neighbors more than you hate the billionaires.

You've gotta love immigrants more than you hate ICE.

You've gotta love queer kids more than you hate christian fundamentalists.

You've gotta love fat people more than you hate the diet industry.

You've gotta love disabled people more than you hate the insurance companies.

You've gotta love your fellow humans more than you hate the worst that humanity has to offer. You don't have to like every person you're fighting for, and you sure as hell don't have to give up your righteous anger, but hate is ultimately corrosive.

You've gotta love.

Just remember guys they're fucking kids.

Some of the fruits of my previous sorting party. Some very sparkly dragons! Been in a diamond art kick, probably going to do some more today.

Last shop update, I promise! Since it's Pride month, I do still have some Pride critters available. I am working on more so if you don't see one for you, send me a message! I might be working on it!

Critters are $10 each or $15 for 2 + shipping 💜

Goodness gracious, how is it August already?? Well, better late than never to post these, I guess.

Pride month and Disability Pride month have both come and gone but that doesn't mean that one's pride or disabilities have just gone away. In fact, one of my invisible disabilities kicked my butt this last week, which is why I haven't been able to do much of anything besides rest. So now that I'm able to work again, it's back to finishing orders and working on Sailor Scouts.

Currently on the docket for August:

One (1) Baby alien

One (1) traditional bee

One (1) woodpecker

Sailor Scout to be determined

Oh, and one super special, super silly goose for a certain vampiric voice actor...

Anyway, here's what's left of the pride buddies!

Fishies $20 + $5 shipping

Turtles and bees $10 or 2 for $15 + $5 shipping

2024 Goals

Hello friends and happy 2024! Can you believe we're already a month in? Feels like time has just flown by! Things have been crazy busy in the workshop so I wanted to give you all an update as to what our goals are for the upcoming year. 

First up, we're making some new dolls! Our primary goal is to make all of the Sailor Scouts from the anime series Sailor Moon. This series was extra special to me growing up so getting to make amigurumi of these magical girls brings me a lot of joy.

Second, we're hoping to have an actual storefront up, ideally, by May! Why May? That gives me time to get all the photos taken, descriptions written, and prices determined. Plus I can adequately give all the due credit to the lovely folks whose patterns I'm using to create these wonderful amigurumi. 

That being said, what's going to be in the store? Glad you asked! My plan is to have two separate categories: Ready to Ship, and Commissionable. Since I am still doing local shows, the items in the Commissionable section would mostly be those items, while the items in Ready to Ship will be the available bigger items since they're a bit harder to sell locally. Of course, as items sell and become unavailable, they will be moved to the Commissionable section until such time that they are ready to ship again.

And there you have it! An update on our goals for the year! It's a lot of work but we're hoping to get it done. Be sure to keep an eye out for future updates as well as new items for sale! I'm going to try to post at least one Sunday a month, maybe two if I'm feeling ambitious (working out a schedule still) as I take new pics of merch and try to grow this little business of mine! Have a great 2024!

seeing all the 14-17 y/o queer kids who don’t know what v for vendetta is…. u mean the blockbuster film written by two trans women about a masked vigilante who decides to singlehandedly take down a fascist alternate version of england set in the distant year of 2020… and his driving force was getting justice for a lesbian who he never met but whose diary he found, who was separated from her wife before being killed by said fascist gov…. and it stars natalie portman…. okay
