This year has been such an exciting flurry of events and new plush designs! I am so grateful for all of your support and encouragement throughout this year. I'm doing one last plush preorder for this year. My shop release is happening on Saturday, November 23, at noon(EST). ❤ Each new item will be limited since I make them all by hand. Due to prepping for MAGfest and Katsucon, my next shop release will take place in late February 2020.

At the last minute before heading out to O'Connor Brewing's Stranger Things party, I opened up preorders for a new friend: Babygorgon! It's the much rounder, quite small, and very kawaii cousin of the Stranger Things monsters. Even with all of Babygorgon's positive qualities, I'd still keep a close eye on your cat if you adopt one ...

I recently discovered a really cool app for my shop called "Sezzle." After thoroughly researching about it, I've now added it as a new checkout option on my shop!

I pay a Merchant Fee to use their service, but I think it's totally worth it! They also have a...

Sadly, my Grandma passed away this week. I feel badly that I wasn't able to visit more, but unfortunately she lived twelve hours away. I will admit that we were never very close, but she is the one who taught me how to sew when I was a little kid. I have thought about her many, many times since I've made a career out of that simple lesson, but it's something I never discussed with her or thanked her for. I really regret that.  I feel very fortunate to have been raised with two sets of grandparents- Grandma and Grandpa...

I honestly cannot remember who I had this conversation with, but it was along the lines of me wishing I could offer more of my handmade doll designs when I add them to my shop. I would only add the ones I’d finished sewing, which meant there would only be one or two available.  For anyone new to my work, I’ll quickly clarify why this is an issue for me:  In addition to sewing plush for my online shop, I also need time to make, package and ship open orders. I also need about a month’s worth of time to...
