Henlo friendos,
It has been far too long since I've made any social media updates. The past couple of years have been absolute insanity and have taken me away from my ability to create while I dealt with massive life problems. I will be working to slowly rekindle my creative fire this year. Lots of changes to come.... Rebranding with a new logo (oh so fresh), new focus on original artworks, moving my shop from Etsy to my personal website, and new creative categories to explore including illustration, painting and cosplay. This is the short and sweet of it, but keep reading for the juicy details.

Without getting too personal here on the public forum, I will say that 2019 and 2020 were horrifically chaotic for me. Major points of my life and personality have been crumbling, rearranging, rising and falling. It has been a dumpster fire. Breakdowns, grief after grief, loss, anxiety....But through it all I have learned to face myself, do my shadow work, and I am starting to come out on the other side of who I was meant to transform into.
When I started my plush making over a decade ago, I created only custom work, commissions, and was fulfilled to do so. It helped me develop my skills and gave me direction as I had no idea what to create if someone wasn't telling me what they wanted. Over those 10+ years I have filled an entire sketchbook and more with ideas that I want to, NEED to create. They multiply every day and it nearly drives me insane to ignore and forego them. Now is the time for me to bring these projects to life. I know this change in direction will cause a shift in my audience, fanbase and customers but I do hope that by becoming more authentic, I will attract what and who is meant for me in the most healing, wholesome way.
