Local Bookstores Are The Best
Part One (because I'm sure I will continue to have many things to say on this subject)
There's this one super awesome person who works at the small town local bookstore I frequent. They read over a hundred books a year. They work at three other jobs, including the locally owned game store down the street. They play D&D. They have a shrine in the front of the store when you first walk in dedicated to their recommendations from the hundreds of books they consume. I walk into the store and they are listening to yet another book. Or turning the pages of one. They once turned down the volume "just in case you wanted to read this series so I don't spoil it for you". They tell you the best RPG stuff to get and where to get the coolest dice. They talk books and authors of any genre any timeframe. They help you weigh the pros and cons of starting certain series, or deciding which ones to purchase first. They are the chillest person known to humankind. They are my favorite person to see in that bookstore and I hope both they and the bookstore gain immortality if that's something they'd be interested in.

Art postcard size prints of a few of my paintings. They're 4" x 6" (inches) of Toronto subway stations :D. I've been considering retiring these so I will not be reprinting them, last chance to get them until they sell out. :)
Get them here
Prints based on: - Lawrence West Station #3 - Yorkdale Station #1 - Davisville Station #4 - Rosedale Station #2 - Lawrence West Station #4
Composition #4, hand carved woodcut print of Mount Pleasant train station in Canada. These are quite fun and relaxing to make even though its less forgiving than painting - if a mistake is made during the carving process you can't exactly fix it :P. The fact that I had no issues with the carving is great :D.
The woodcut is limited edition printed by hand on beautiful paper with a mixture of cotton and paper pulp made in France(yes I am nerding out about paper). Each print is numbered and signed by me and comes with a written thank you note :D.
The print is 20.5 cm x 15.5 cm , 8 inch x 6 inch. Paper is 24 cm x 18 cm, 9.5 inch x 7 inch

Story Time!!
So yesterday, my hubby and I were out of town, because he was participating in a special Magic: The Gathering draft event (Spring Flourishes), and he took second place in a 6 person pod.
While he was doing that, I was doing my own thing at a free table and trying to make a stockpile of Pokémon Eggs and had the display ones… Well, on display! Two girls saw them and was instantly curious about them and wanted to hold them and I was like, “sure!” One of the Dads took notice and asked about them and I explained that these were crochet Pokémon Eggs based off the kilometer eggs on Pokémon Go and that I plan on selling them on my online shop and possibly at a craft fair if make enough and get accepted.
The two girls wanted the 12K and Shadow Egg and the Dad wanted to buy them. Told them they were $5 each, but he wanted to pay DOUBLE the amount! I thanked them and the girls were so happy and were the proud owners of their own eggs!
I hope Moonlight and Sunlight are enjoying their new homes.
I think that that interaction yesterday more than ever gave me more confidence to try and make a lot of cute amigurumi items to show off and sell to folks interested. It really makes me happy seeing people look at my work and be genuinely happy taking them home. Makes the hard work and wrist pain worth it to me.
NOTE: I'm making this post because for some weird reason, Tumblr flagged my previous post?? Anywaaaaaays…
I made some Pokémon Eggs! Read more to check out the gallery and more info!
I created a lovely display of amigurumi Pokémon Eggs from Pokémon Go that I plan on adding to my shop on my Ko-Fi page! We have…
2K Egg
5K Egg
7K Egg (Gift given though friends)
10K Egg
12K Egg (Reward for defeating a Team Rocket Boss)
And this is my own special creation—the Shadow Egg!
This design was an inspiration from an old Pokémon game I played, Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness.
Like I said earlier, I do plan on adding these lovely eggs in my shop on my Ko-Fi Page as they are or as keychains! But if you want them early, my commissions are always open!
Regular: $5
Keychain: $7
Thank you all SO much for reading my post! Enjoy this picture of Lynx napping with a Snom!🫰🏾

UPDATE!!
Hubby and I are out of town, because he's participating in a special Magic: The Gathering draft event and while he's doing that, I'm crocheting more eggs.
Two girls saw the display models I have and immediately wanted them. Their Dad was more than happy to pay DOUBLE the asking price for the 10K and Shadow Egg.
Their names are Moonlight and Sunlight. I hope they enjoy their new homes!
