37 pairs of ears doneeeee. I just realized I havent made my obligatory how to find me in the den map post yet 🤣🤣🫠 maybe tomorrow... just trying to make sure my tables are stocked with rad shit! I always forget social media is part of the job now and im terrible at it.

🫠🫠🫠🫠 ughhhh have to restart embroidery on the hand paws cause I was tryin something fun and used a thin foam interface and the machine DID NOT wanna and kept shifting. Gonna go classic just mochi minky(nothing ironed on), which is what I have on my hand paws because I wanted more dexterity so its

Finished screen printing 105 shirts today, heat setting tomorrow after they dry. Now staying up to work on hand paws for my premade fox and stick 35 pairs of ears on their headbands. I might be over prepping for awu but its gonna help in the long con gauntlet ive got goin.

Snuck in a cute project during ear prep for con! The large blue ears reminded me of my partners sona so I decided to airbrush em up and add some earrings for them to wear at con ♡ used pearl accents to match a string of pearls they wear a lot :) left a note with em for them to find when they wake up

Drowning in con prep but laying good ground work for prep for the fall. This is gonna be the busiest con season Ive ever had and im terrified and excited. I know im good at con crunching and will be able to restock stuff between each con but im gonna have to be SOOOO strategic about items that take

Cause I ~needed~ another project before con hahahahah. Gonna actually do the thing and debut my mini monsters at a con. These are a project ive been working on and off on for like a decade. The faces used to be hand stitched with silly button eyes and now with embroidery I can do them the way

0-0 I got a booth at blfc omggg. Im going to a con like every 2-3 weeks from now til nov. I fear I am girl bossing too close to the sun but I feel so validated in the sheer amount of work ive put into my buisness and myself in the last couple years. I might need to start getting ANYTHING I make

Tryin not to go too hard with swim workouts to get back into the groove but today I did a 100 without stopping, flip turns included, and a nonstop 25 of butterfly at the end of the hour. So exhausted but so excited to be building up my lungs again cause my breath control is bad haha(fuck asthma)

Getting excited for awu but also mostly excited to have a mini vacation after in Vegas to celebrate 10 years of marriage. Trying to get all my ducks in a row and get show tickets and stuff and its just makin me more excited! Crazy its been this long!! also gonna be gay and plan another mini

Hit a flip turn for the first time in a decade today on the first try. Im so stoaked to be back in the water. Gyms are fun if all you're doing is playing mermaids the whole time.

Sitting here ripping a Hawthorne heights cd from hs cause I dont know own mp3s to upload to my waterproof head phones cause Bluetooth doesn't work under water hahahah. Guess Im gonna start buying cds again! Next up is boy George and the culture club and birdmonster/the atom age (local bands from hs)

Workin on lining for 4 partials rn and in a groove! I have a lane reservation tomorrow for lap swim and im soooo glad we're goin after noon hahha. So excited to be able to swim again but im so sore and my night owl work is buttin heads with my want to swim earlier in the day haha

Made myself a na tiki drink as a treat for work and forgot cinnamon was hydrophobic haahahah so it looks crazy but is good. Found na bitters and it def is a delight! (Also we are such nerds we have the glasses they use at trader sams for their non mug drinks, always seeking some whimsey!)

When you treat yourself to coffee cause this day is always a loaded one and they just hit ya in the face hahahahaha. Didn't have the heart to tell the guy no thanks cause he was soooo nice! Happy dead dad day i guess!

Working on cutting out like 100 tails because I really only have the summer to prep for my next 3 cons because I have super limited time in between each one. Planning like 5 premades, at least 75 more worms, shooting for 50+ sets of ears, so many shirts, just wild amounts to get done in 6 weeks!

Completely forgot my clothes at home and going to a memorial/hangout with my partners fam today. Ingenuity and a late night walmart run and at least im not wearing a carrion shirt and jeans today 🤣

Durin my little break before con prep starts again im working on cleanin and decorating the house a bit. Borrowed my partners silver teapot And added our wedding bouquets to it! Still gotta unsquish the paper and actually make it an arrangement but I love it!(REALLY unfortunate book choice here)
