Spent yesterday having big ol’ crash out but now it’s time to rebuild. Etsy banned my shop of 8+ years yesterday due to their crummy content moderation bots so I’m starting over with a new store! My shop was about a third of my income so shares are appreciated! 💖🙏 mittiepaul.myshopify.com

SHOP REOPENING SALE

Etsy’s AI based content moderation kept flagging all of my original art and merch so they banned my shop so I lost over 8 years of ratings and reviews and have to start my web storefront over from scratch.
YOU CAN NOW FIND ME AT

Shipping only to US and CAN at the moment, sorry! I wanted to wait until I had time to do inventory and take a bunch of new pictures of everything, but I found out I need to get thousands of dollars of dental work done this summer so I’m launching it a little bit early with the “best sellers” for now and will continue to add more in the coming weeks!
I have some new merch planned and in the works too!


If you were looking for anything in particular that’s not yet up on my shop please message me and I will add it as soon as I’m able!

some tips for actually doing this: -shitty is better than incomplete -you are the ONLY one who can do what YOU'RE doing -people LOVE seeing the artist's hand in their work, esp in the age of genAi -the more you say "this sucks," the more you believe it. the opposite is also true

when you're surrounded by what seems like everybody admitting that they feel awful about themselves, it can start to feel normal and expected that you also feel awful about yourself. but actually, it's okay to not want that! you can feel better! it takes work, and effort, but it's on the table!

(mostly) finished curtain project :) technically it is a quilt top with a backing on it until I do the hand quilting I want to do, but for now I'm just happy it's done enough to use. Shoutout to Chicago queer quilting cohort and generations-quilt-patterns.com for giving me the confidence to try!

Photo of a patchwork curtain hanging from a tension rod in a doorway. To the right of it is a bookcase with a dead fern on it and a scratching post shaped like a carrot and to the left is a hubcap and some cat litter

I'll get back to drawing soon I swear but right now my brain will kind of only let me think about patchwork (not calling it quilting till I actually quilt something lol)
