Catching up to slow down

Hi! This is just a general lil update with how things are going over here in my lil studio :)

I'm currently deep into order packing since re-opening my shop this weekend. I was absolutely blown away by how much love the tea towels and totes got and so happy to also have the mugs out finally.

But it's put me in this unique situation where the number of orders that came in was a lot more than I expected, which don't get me wrong - I am so incredibly thankful for! Because honestly, I was prepared to make very little this month. However, I'm now in a bit of a rush to get everything sent before the end of the week when we leave for our trip.

Everything will still be sent by Friday (cause they have to be!), including the Patreon mail, which I know I said I would send last week. But I ran out of stamps and had to order them. They also raised the price of stamps by 20% this year :(:(:( so I might need to find another shipping solution to save on postage.

All this to say that I'm doing a lot right now to reduce the workload I have to do while on holiday. Cause yes even while on holiday, I'll still need to do some things :') At least it'll be somewhere new surrounded by lots of good food, inspirational places and friends and family.

It's gonna be worth it!
