Hey all! Today i continued work on the bee dittos which will be for sale in my spring shop update on Saturday, April 22 and 1pm est! I got all the sublimation done as well as all their wings, and finished one up for testing purposes! I'll finish production on these guys on Monday!
This weekend I'll be working on cutting out, stuffing, and hand sewing all the other plush for the update!
Have a good weekend!
hey all! i've finally decided that my spring shop update will be

i wanted to make more, but my machine breaking on me right before production and spreading myself thin this month really put a damper on things!
sadly, my peepitto pins will not be a part of this drop. the remakes ar...

Hey all! Today i continued work on the kaiju instructions and figuring out the new bee ditto construction method! I'm trying to make it a little easier to put together than last time.
But the event of the day was getting my smores pins!! They are so cute and the pin on pin looks so good 🥹 they will be for sale in a few months for my summer shop sale!
Hey all! Today i got the sprout dittos sewn up and began work on the bee dittos! The bee dittos have several components so they take a lot of time to make.
I'm still not sure if the drop will be april 22 or 29 - let's just say my peepitto pin remakes are not going well 😓 I'm going to make the call this weekend or the next, though! If things dont go well with the pins i may delay them until next year while i try to work things out.
Happy Tuesday! Today i continued work on the kaiju instructions, finished stitching together all the sheepittos and began work on the ditto sprouts! All their embroidery is done and the final step is to stitch on the leaves before they are sewn together in the hoop. Which means, I'll be cutting out a LOT of leaves tonight! 🌱

Hi all, hope you had a nice weekend! Mine was very busy with traveling, but it was great! (Especially because i bought a bunch of plants, which is a new hobby of mine!!)
This morning i was back to work, starting with the written kaiju instructions! I'll be working on them a bit every day until they're done, then working on the video instructions.
After that i made the purple peepittos and started the sheepittos too!
I'm still targeting april 22 as the drop date but if i get too behi...
Hey all! Hope you had a nice Friday!
Today i finished up the design for the banana ditto that is a plush reward for the may ditto tier! No teasers yet, but i also took the photos and it came out soooo cute 🥹
I also made some blue and yellow peepittos! I also plan to make some purple ones to complete the set!
I'll be traveling this weekend to visit my mom, so I'll be back to work on Monday! Have a good weekend and a nice holiday if you celebrate it! 😊
Hey all! Yesterday and today I've been working on the May physical rewards - no pictures to share as i dont want to spoil the surprise yet! 👀 I'll be wrapping up the design for the banana ditto plush tomorrow with the reveal of may rewards towards the middle of the month!
I also started work on the spring dittos! Pink peepitto is the first to be made, and i also got the backing cards for the singular peepitto pins! But i still haven't gotten the remakes 😓
I'll be deep into ditto p...
Today was very productive and I'm so glad!
I was able to finish up the instruction version of the kaiju and also make a minky example which is made with konpeito candy colors! Also looks very spring-y 🌻
Of course, minky is much less stretchy than mochi so it results in a smaller, less chonky kaiju but he's still very round!
this was the last example i wanted to make before focusing on writing the instructions! I'll be designing the may sticker & dittos the rest of the week, a...
Hey all, hope you had a great weekend!
I started my morning with a run to the post office to drop off more ditto plush and stickers! After that i caught up on my accounting including doing quarterly state taxes which took WAY longer than they should have 😩
After that i worked on the kaiju example I'm making for the instructions! He has a different color for every pattern piece to help them be more clear. This guy uses the head pattern pieces for the 4x4 embroidery area version. Of co...
here's information on the rewards for this month!

Well today did NOT go as planned - while i was able to get all the embroidery done for the ice cream kaiju that will be the instructions example for the april pattern, when i went to change the needle on my machine to a sewing needle the needle clamp broke 😭 i could not get a needle into it and unfortunately that means it has to be sent off for repairs. I'm pretty upset, I've only had the machine for 4 months and it already has to be sent off! Luckily its still under warranty but i will be...

Today is my husband and i's 4 year wedding anniversary, so i snuck in a present for him in my work queue!
We love birds and had a bird themed wedding so i try to always make my anniversary gifts bird themed. We had an awesome experience feeding sparrows in a park in japan on our honeymoon so its one of my preferred birdies to gift! The gift theme for 4 years is "flowers or fruit" so.. why not both?
Made with a modified version of nazfx's borb pattern! She is 50% of the small size and is...
Today i worked on a variety of things! I worked on another dart patterning tutorial which will go up soon! Tomorrow is my 4 year wedding anniversary so I'll be taking another day off but I'll still have posts going up!
I also worked on cleaning up the kaiju pattern for the instructions and editing the face pattern to include a 4x4 embroidery version.
I'll be making another, ~very colorful~ example since having the pattern pieces be different colors will help make the pictures and video...
Today was the kaiju closeup day 💅 i set up my big photobooth to get pictures of these guys together with the buildings i got for them! Here are a few of my favorites~
I'll be posting them on social media starting next week!
Next up I'll be making a kaiju to record footage for the instructions for the pattern!
And now its time to clean up the mess that is my sewing room 😩
Hey all! Today was my first day back to work after taking 3 days off to do some ~gaming~
I finished up the squish cat video instructions and the files for delivery! The pattern releases this Friday - get hyped! 🥳
I also worked on finishing the hand sewing for the dessert kaiju! Strawberry shortcake got a little strawberry for her whipped cream 🍓 their big photoshoot will be tomorrow!
Have a great night!
HERE HE IS!!
I was skeptical about this pin working out because it is a pin on pin design with dyed enamel which I've never seen before! The cracker is a separate pin with recessed details. I was hyperfixating on this idea and I'm so glad its working out!
This is just a manu photo of a sample which i want to make one minor adjustment to but I'm so excited about these 🥳
These pins will also be released during my summer shop update in a few months!
here is the 2nd popsicle pin preview for this weekend!
this year i'm having them made as soft enamel with an epoxy coat and screen print on top. i really like the 3D look it makes for this pin design - it looks so popsicle-y!
these pins won't be available for several months, until my summer ditto drop that will be around july! i'm just tired of waiting on manus for pins, so i'm working way in advance this year 🤣

Well, i got close to finishing her after all! She needs some needle sculpting and hand sewing but the majority of the elements are there~ ill make her a little strawberry for the front whipped cream before her photoshoot too! I plan on taking pics of the kaiju early next week!
I'll be taking Friday-Sunday off to do some gaming but i have some posts scheduled for then, and back to work Monday!
Have a good one!
Hey everyone!
Today i did quite a bit of patreon work and made a tutorial on patterning darts today and prepped some posts for this weekend! I'll be taking Friday-Sunday off but I'll have some posts going up regardless!
I also started work on the final dessert kaiju! I dont think I'll be able to finish this guy tomorrow because i need to go to an appointment and also work on the video tutorial for the squish cats but i hope I'll get all the embroidery done at least~
The kaiju ill be ...
Here they are!! Aubry and i's original full concept for the kaiju plush~ im excited to take some better pics of these 2!

Today i dropped off all squish cat orders at the post office and continued work on the squish cat pattern instructions!
Then i began work on these 2 new kaiju, who are the designs aubry and i had originally thought of - any ideas on their theme? 👀
Hey all! This weekend just flew by!
Today i packed up all the squish cat orders, which will go out tomorrow!
We also put together a new building for the kaiju for their eventual photoshoot, which is MUCH bigger than the previous one 😂 where am i gonna store this thing when I'm done??
I still have a few more kaiju planned, which I'll be working on this week!
Thanks again to everyone who adopted a squish cat during yesterday's impromptu mini drop! 🤗🐱
Today i scented and hand sewed the dorayakitties. While the other squish cats weren't able to be scented, the dorayakitties were similar to my ditto drops in that they can be scented upon request so i couldn't finish them up until orders came in.
Tomorrow I'll be packing up all the orders and dropping them off on Monday!
Hi all, happy Friday!
Today i worked on a new post in our patterning series, which covers patterning ears!
I also made this lovely lady, a dango kaiju! She still needs needle sculpting on her eyes and I'm going to see if i can make a little dango accessory for her topping too 🤔 (also, I've decided that she and taiyaki are dating 😌❤️)
Also, thank you to everyone who bought a squish...
Hey all! Late update today since I've been finishing up this taiyaki themed kaiju!
When researching taiyaki i decided to give both of the dessert kaiju a little themed topping, so the matcha kaiju got a lil update too! 👀
Hi all! Happy wednesday!
Today i continued work on the written instructions for the squish cat pattern which is releasing at the end of this month! I hope i can finish them by the end of the week and then work on the video instructions next week!
I also finished the first kaiju plush for example photos for this pattern! This kaiju's colors are inspired by a matcha red bean parfait! I have some minor embroidery edits to make, one of them being moving the scales much closer to the front o...
Hey all! Happy Tuesday! I finally feel like I've adjusted to daylight savings 😤 i hope those of you who were also affected are recovered too!
Today i finished up the timelapse for the dorayakitty plushies, which tips & tutorials patrons and higher have early access to!
Next i finished digitizing the kaiju pattern and its embroidery, and started the first example plush! This one's color schemes are inspired by a matcha & red bean parfait 🍵👀
I'll be posting a tutorial ...
Hey all! Today was a sleepy day, first Monday after daylight savings and i woke up to a dark and rainy day 😴 i definitely hit snooze a few times more than usual 😅
I started by editing the timelapse for the dorayakitties for my YouTube! It's mostly done, just gotta give it another review. I'll also be working on the instructions the rest of this week, both written and video!
I also began finalizing the kaiju pattern! While he still needs some embroidery edits, this lil guy was tra...
