Some family stuff came up this week so I'm posting product care before actual product photos. I will get those done as soon as I can but my schedule is shifted a bit. I have a feeling I'll be asked about care and wanted to make something to point customers to

Small tutorial for ironing scarfs safely! Please remember directly ironing could damage the print. I did try using a steamer first which worked well for wrinkles but not the crease where the scarf is folded in packaging. Try steaming at your own risk. More examples for care posted soon

I have a new product arriving tomorrow blind. I didn't get any picture updates and I am very nervous but also excited. If it works out I'll have one problem solved with my table display and a nice quality unique product. Hopefully the problem will be me taking fast quick pics to share in excitement

Designing stuff as a shaky hand person takes so dang long I'm - digital thumbnail design on tablet - sketching details on paper - putting thumbnails and sketches together on the computer - completing image with anchor tool and mouse This is only for one product but man I'm a mess

When a friend calls you at midnight and says "I'm at the Sega store in Tokyo what do you want? Oh and I'm going to Chiikawa Park tomorrow make a list" Actually put me in tears. It's their trip they didn't have to include me and do a haul!

After this update I slept 11hrs oof. I'm working nights because it's quieter and better for allergies but it's not great for anything else. I'll be working at least one more overnight to get an accessory order ready to start, then it's back to keychain designs.

I'm working on a whole bunch of new keychains and it feels like I'm really slow but I'm also working on like 50 designs at once so it's hard to see any progress. I might just have to get a few done to have them by the next event.

With the way import shipping costs are I might have to invest in prints for the first time. It'll still be a less upfront investment than bags are and the point is to have something big and visual to bring people to the table to look at the small stuff.

Wings are an easy place to put a pattern or accent color which is part of the fun for me to make something, so it's bats again Can't do that with birds. People get very confused about a bird in different colors. Tried making Penguins with diff colors and people would ask where the Penguins were
