It feels like there is a balloon in my head instead of a brain I am very tired. Updates if I can sleep this off!
Posting the girl by my own personal request. I wish I had more ideas for gold foil so I could have it on everything!
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
Two days down and I'm almost done quality checking, yay!
I'm currently working on a small set of stickers and boy am I clumsy! Hopefully 75% of the supplies won't be ruined, that's my goal
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
New mini crossbody bag order came in! Yaaay! I might have to keep an Esquie for myself

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!
Back in Georgia for Momocon! It feels like it's been a long time since I've been here and it's so nice to be back. Make sure to stop by this weekend to say hi!

It feels like I have been asleep for 3 days straight but I do not have inflammation it's a weird cold

Esquie keychain restock in! I've restocked a small handful of keychains for Momocon while being in the middle of designing a bunch of new ones. As always health is getting in the way but slow progress is still progress.
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.

also a reminder that i have penguin stickers for sale: www.etsy.com/listing/1793517761/double-penguin-sticker-sheet-cute i love penguins!!
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.
I slept in, ran some errands, then took a 4hr nap. It's 7pm and I have to start the work day DETOUR you hit hard this weekend thank you!!
my small haul from anime detour this weekend!! i love shopping at this con socks & scrunchies from @penguinluvlemon.bsky.social silk tie and washi from @aluhnim.bsky.social otter print from @jadedsketch.bsky.social
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
