The fog of grief is lifting and I feel clearer minded. Tried to respond to everyone who needed a response. If I missed anyone I’m surely sorry! Here’s some small deltarune boys I made.

We got Freddy’s ashes and paw prints and fur clippings today. It doesn’t feel real. My best friend can’t be in this box. How will he catch sun beams in there? They sent us a sympathy card from the vet. That was very sweet of them. They were so good to him. I can never take a pic of him again.
My best friend died today. I miss him so much. He was 17 and his body just couldn’t go on anymore.
Seems our old man, Freddy, is telling us it’s time. I won’t be around, sorry for the extended leave and not responding much. Here’s some of my fav pics from when he was younger.
16 year old Freddy for pet tax. He’s doing so good after his medicine!
Sorry I’ve been away. I was having a serious health thing. And my elder cat did as well. I feel mostly sorted and will get to DMs and regular activity soon! Also I have no connection with the Aryanne beanie pony plush at all nor the maker. I’ve been messaged several times about it.
I wish bluesky did balloons like Twitter. I logged in just to see my balloons (I never updated my app so it’s still stuck in Twitter colors and such)
A final round of ancient plush I made of fire type pokemon for no reason
For no reason at all have a third round of ancient fire type plush I’ve made.
For no reason at all, have some more ancient fire pokemon. Just seemed a good day to have some warm pokemon.
For no reason at all, have some ancient fire type pokemon I made. These are all from before I had my embroidery machine. I think these are all 2012 / 2013 and earlier.
I ordered two boxes of stuffing. Get the update they’re delivered. This is the most ominous delivered picture I’ve ever seen. I also have no clue where this is. I’m hoping it’s the front office of my apartment complex, but this is a ransom picture vibe
I’ve seen a growing sentiment voiced in a few diff places where things like acrylic keychains or notepads for example are called mass manufactured in a derogatory sense. That’s sad to me and I’m someone with a 95% handmade booth. It’s a fun way to have art from friends and fellow artists! It’s fine!
I sometimes worry I’m too old school. I’ve been sewing plush for 21 years after all. There were no resources back then, so I taught myself to sew and draft patterns at the same time. So I sew different than modern makers. I’m resourceful sure, but seeing that crit circulating makes me wonder…
Trying to get back into it. Beees an upcycled fluttershy.
Found out a dear friend @dattaxpony.bsky.social passed away over the holidays. Words can’t express how upset this has made me. He was always a good, sweet guy. He always made time for me every con and he was great to chat with. You will be missed. My Thoughts are with his family and loved ones.
Throwback to ten years ago when I made like a hundred plush sushi keychains and they didn’t sell even at $5 so I ended up giving them all away at AWA to fellow artists later that year.
Deltarune feels so different now. It’s bc I’m genuinely so worried for these characters. I fear for them. I did have this before, of course, but it was also such fun times, games and smiles, the sorrow was easily lost in the joy. Now it’s a palpable, heavy burden that can’t be ignored. Good stuff.
This won’t even fully restock them 😭 but I ordered fabric for my understocked shelves

I am finally feeling a lot better. I got really really sick sorry for being gone so long. Will catch up with messages no later than Monday. Thank you everyone for the patience! Here’s some stew my husband made me!
Last but not least, my haul from this year! Included among some of my fellow vendors' wares is my volunteer shirt and attendee glass. This was also my first time buying a handmade plush at a convention (@hibiscustitch.bsky.social); I always thought Apple Split was an adorable stallion. 🍎
Exhausted AF. Been on the clock for about 2 1/2 hours now and I’m ready to go home Rocking the Misty and Tempest bracelets from @hibiscustitch.bsky.social tho
