A beautiful blue baby 🍔🐢💙 because i can't ever be happy with anything, I'll be making a few more tweaks early next week! But we are getting there slowly but surely 😤

Today was a variety of different projects for me!
I worked on the shiba plush for a post for tomorrow, finished sewing the linings to the nuggie cases, and began work on the pretty patty burgle! I had so many blue mochi colors that i couldn't resist using that color scheme!! I hope the edits on burgle will come together nicely so i can make a final one next!! 🍔👀
Today i modded the 3rd burgle prototype to shorten the back legs, remove the extra strip of fabric on the top bun, change the cheese, and add some lettuce! I plan on cleaning up the features a little on the next iteration, which I'm thinking about making a Pretty Patty inspired one 👀

What a great time to be designing the burgle!
Today i enlarged the pattern to make it less finnicky to sew. He's all machine sewn, so some of the little pieces were pretty tricky at the smaller size! But he still has a lot of issues to fix - he's still too tall! Adding a layer for the bottom of the top bun was a bad call, so it'll be removed, which should help with the height! I'm also going to tweak the face a little bit (which I'm now doing in a more burger sauce color, but super bad lig...
Today i made the 2nd prototype of the burger turtle with accurate colors! I needed to split the gusset into segments to get the parts of the burger included so i figured i might as well use the right colors. Well, he came out WAY too tall and he was way too fiddly to sew at this size, which means I'll be making him larger! He'll still be 4x4 friendly in the end, though!

here comes a McDitto's nuggie, with a special surprise inside 👀 sound on!
he's made from special sherpa fabric for that thick nuggie look, and comes with his own McDitto's box!
there is no scent option available for him, i do not have the stomach for any savory scents, and i'm not sure they'd exist either 🤣
there are currently no cancellations in the ditto plush tier. if ther...

Here's a preview of the first draft of the june pattern reward: a burger turtle, aka burtle? Burgle? I can't wait to get him made with real colors, i think he will be a cutie! 🥹

hey all! today i continued production of the june stickers. i also wrote up the instructions for the koala cookie keychain ITH pattern releasing at the end of the month. despite it being a beginner friendly ITH file, i still somehow managed to make the instructions almost 20 pages long 😬
i also wrote up a post about embroidery machine tension that comes with a file to help you test yours out he...

Hey all! Hope you had a wondeful weekend! Mine was a mix of gardening and Zelda. We built a small bubbler in our backyard for the birds! It was surprisingly easy besides when i accidentally cut the power cord 3 hours in when trimming the pond liner 🫣
Today i was able to start production on the june stickers since i received the vinyl! Look for their reveal this week 👀
I also started work back up on the koala ITH pattern! I made a batch of shy & anxious koalas to take pictures ...
Happy Friday indeed!! Today i made some more stickers for my stock as well as the first stickers for June 👀 which haven't been revealed yet!! But they didnt cut well, and then i ran out of vinyl, so I'll have to do another round on Monday 😭
I also made another entry into the shiba patterning series! We've started the body now!
And now, I'M OFF TO PLAY ZELDA!! i hope you all have a nice ...
hey all! sorry for the lack of WIPs this week - i've been working on the june ditto rewards, which i'm not quite ready to reveal yet 👀 i've gotten the majority of the work done on the nuggie dittos, and have started work on the june sticker as well!
i also began work on the shiba body for our long-running patterning series, which i can share my sketch of how i'd like it to look! look for that p...

Hey all! Hope you had a great weekend! My mom visited and brought me a ton of native plants for my new garden I was very excited about 🥰 i worked outside for over 8 hours yesterday and got a killer sunburn on my back where i missed applying sunscreen 🤪 oops!!
Today i had to take my dad to a doctors appointment but i was able to stitch out the nuggie dittos, which tied for 1st on BOTH june tiebreaker polls! since nuggie also made it to the may tiebreaker poll, i chose it for the june ...
Happy Friday!
I only worked a half day today because my mom is visiting this weekend and i needed to clean the house 🧹
I made a batch of the standard koala cookie design, and spent a lot of time fiddling with the tension on my machine. I realized yesterday while doing the embroidery for today's tutorial post that the tension on my machine was REALLY messed up. The bobbin thread ...
Happy Thursday! Today i wrapped up the design work on the koala cookie ITH patterns that are a reward for may! I also took this photo for them, and enjoyed the snacks afterwards 👀
I also started work again on the dog head patterning series i started a while ago that was paused during the kaiju month posts! He'll take the patterning post spotlight again soon 😤
Hey all! Today i caught up on monthly accounting and also put up a patreon post on lining objects. Check it out if you missed it! https://www.patreon.com/posts/82455487
I also continued work on may's koala cookie ITH pattern reward! I cleaned up the blushing design and also made the anxious one, for all my fellow worry warts out there 🤝
I'll be finishing up the 4th one soon, which is the bow one shown prev...
Hey all!
Today i made a bunch of stickers for my stock and for reward fulfillment! I hope those of you with early renewal dates will receive your brownie stickers soon 😤👍
I also continued work on designing the koala cookie ITH file reward for may! I think I'm going to change the middle's bow to a fill stitch for some contrast, and i have some cleanup work to do on the bashful one 👉👈
Have a nice night!
Hey all! Hope you had a wonderful weekend!
Today i worked on transitioning all rewards to may and updating the patreon shop for the month! For those with access, it's been updated with the sprout stickers, squish cat pattern, and the kaiju plush i made! Thank you to all supporters so far!! 🙏🙏
I've continued work on fulfilling the first of the monthly rewards as well! Instead of a boring picture of a bunch of packages, have a picture of a bunch of banana peels 🤣🍌
I'll be w...

Phew, this month FLEW by 💀 this was definitely my busiest month since i've gone full time, and a huge lesson learned for me to not spread myself so thin in future months! but, i got through it, and may is a new month 💪😤

Hey all! Today i worked on production of the banana dittos. I only had time to make the example plush earlier in the month, so now I'm making all of them so i can ship them out early next week!
Each banana has a separate peel, and each peel is lined which means i have to sew 48 peels and then sew two of them together. I'll make a post about lining things next week!
I'll be finishing these up throughout the weekend, and also doing further prep for beginning of the month reward fulfillmen...
Here's a preview of may's ITH pattern reward - a koala's march keychain!
I wanted to continue the snack theme for may since the sticker reward is a cosmic brownie ditto and the plush reward is a banana! These cookies were one of my favorite snacks when i was a kid - although i will continue calling them koala yummies until the day i die, because that's how i knew them growing up 😤
I plan on making a couple more variants of these for the reward too!
Hey all! Today i continued work on the video instructions for the kaiju pattern which releases on Sunday. I hope to wrap everything up with that tomorrow!
In something more visually interesting, i received my popsicle pins! These ones are made with soft enamel and an epoxy coat, and i really like how it makes them look more popsicle-y! They will be for sale in my summer shop update in a few months!
Hey all! Hope you had a great weekend!
Today i dropped off the spring shop update orders. Thanks again to everyone who supported!! ❤️
I also began work on the kaiju video instructions, recording the audio and starting editing it. I hope to finish it by Wednesday - the pattern will be released on Sunday! I hope to see some kaiju from you all!! ❤️
Also, MY SEWING MACHINE IS BACK!! i broke the needle clamp on my brand new topaz 50 over 3 weeks ago and it had to be sent off to re...
Hey all! Thank you so much to everyone who supported me in any way for the spring drop!! I am humbled as always 🥹❤️
Yesterday, as per usual, i spent the first day of the drop scenting and hand sewing the remaining dittos since i can't finish everything until the orders come in.
Today I'll be packing up all the orders, and dropping them off at the post office tomorrow!
Hope you're having a nice weekend!
hey all! i had a very productive day today and finally finished the written kaiju instructions! it ended up being 79 pages long 😳 i'll be working on the video instructions next week until they are complete!
reminder that tomorrow is my spring shop update at 1pm EST! i'll be working on fulfilling orders all weekend 🥰
have a good one!

May's sticker is the cosmic brownie ditto! i was so happy people liked him and while the plush will remain exclusive to the plush tier, i decided to make a sticker of him! and since the plush reward for may is a banana, i thought it would be cute to go with a snack theme for may!

Today is national banana day, so what better day to reveal may's ditto plush: banana ditto! 🍌
Comes with a removable peel and can be banana scented upon request!
Have another cute photo!
Hey all, hope you had a great Monday!
Today i finished sewing up the bees! Man, even with the streamlining i did, these are a lot of work! The wings are done ITH and i tried my best to get my silhouette to cut out the antennae but it just wouldn't do it cleanly - so i had to cut them all out by hand!
I'll be stuffing these and the remaining plush all throughout the week in preparation for my shop update on saturday at 1pm est!
This week will be pretty boring as far as WIPs go, since ...
