April's reward for the ditto plush tiers is cosmic brownie ditto! he can be chocolate scented upon request ðŸ«
i enjoyed making this one very much, especially with the *ahem* culinary research i had to do~
april was the first month where we held a poll for those in the plush tiers to vote on the plush design they wanted! it was a lot of fun to see what everyon...

Since these little guys are smaller than my normal stickers, the sticker tiers will include 1 normal and 1 shiny sprout! The normal is made with my normal glossy laminate and the shiny is made with holo star laminate!
Hey all, happy Friday!
Today i posted another entry in the patterning series - this one is about designing embroidery! It took a long time to write, so i hope you find it helpful!
It was also the last day of prototyping the chonky kaiju pattern! I focused on improving the front view. I have some minor edits to make, like lowering the nostrils and the front of the mouth a bit and editing the shap...
Hey all! Tomorrows friday!!
Today i knocked out the backing card for the ditto sprout pin! I'll marinate on this one for a day before calling it final. I have to make a big business card order but I'm holding off as long as i can on ordering all my pin backing cards because i want to see what happens with the yellow peepitto remakes 😅
I also had a big progress day on the kaiju pattern! I machine sewed an entire plush with embroidery today. I did a big dumb and ran all the embroidery ...
Happy wednesday! This week is flying by @_@
I had to spend a lot of time taking my dad to an appointment today but i was able to get some work done prepping some patreon posts for the future while i was waiting!
I also continued work on the kaiju - as promised he became even chonkier from the side today to even out his body with his noggin 👀 I'm also figuring out his legs and will be working on the spikes soon too! His head is still a little rough but the main shapes are there~
I ...
Hi all!
Today i continued work on the backing cards for the peepitto pins! I always print out a test to make sure everything looks OK in person before sending them off to production. I have a few adjustments i need to make but I'm pretty happy with them!
I also continued work on the kaiju pattern for the april reward! He's become chonkier, and will be even chonkier by the end 👀 i also got some safety eyes bc I'm obsessed with them, so I'm sure I'll make a version with them too!
Hi all, hope you had a nice Monday!
I started the day by beginning the design for the peepitto backing card! I have a lot of work to do on it, so I'll save the reveal for when i clean it up a lot!
But the big event of the day was starting the kaiju pattern that will be a pattern reward for April! This plush is a collab between myself and aubryjoi! They designed the kaiju and i love it soooo much 🥺
My goal today was to block out the main shapes! I have a lot of refining to do, but ...
Happy Saturday!
Today i was finishing up the embroidery for the cosmic brownie dittos for april's plush tier reward. As i was about to sew on the backs i decided to sublimate a darker brown mochi; cosmic brownies have a lighter top frosting and a darker brownie, and the difference between the brown i was using for the top and bottom wasn't enough for me! i love mochi but it's dark brown color choices leave a LOT to be desired.

hey all!
i started the day by taking even more dorayakitty photos, and had so much trouble choosing the one i wanted as the main pic... and then just ended up using one i took ages ago 🤣 oh well!
i also finished up another entry for our patterning series that's going on, this time about transferring the embroidery placement to your digitizing program!
i've also made some m...

Today i finished packing up & mailing out the rest of the March ditto plush and more stickers!
I also finished sewing up some more dorayakitties and took some cute photos with them, and recorded some footage for their videos!
Tomorrow i plan on starting the cosmic brownie dittos for the April plush rewards, which means next week I'll be starting the pattern for April's pattern reward!! I'm VERY excited for this one!! 👀
The first of the month is always a busy day for me since i roll over my patreon to a new month of rewards! If you haven't read the post about March rewards, you can check it out here!
The patreon shop, which is accessible to $5 patrons and higher, has been updated with the clodsire pattern and the bacon&am...
here's information on the rewards for this month!

O LAWD HE COMIN! I finished a large dorayakitty today! This pattern will be a reward in March as well as a tiny ITH version!
I'm still tweaking the embroidery for the minies, it is REALLY hard to get embroidery defined at such a small size 😩 hopefully will have progress to share by the end of the week!
Tomorrow is March 1 which means I'll be working on patreon reward fulfillment for a big chunk of the day!
Have a good night!
Another month come and gone - this year is FLYING by!! 💀
things are still crazy busy for me over here, but what about you? did you make anything you'd like to share in february? anything you're looking forward to in march? it doesn't have to be plush related!
i am VERY excited about the pattern rewards for march and april, and i'm super hyped to wrap those up this month!

hi all, happy pokemon day!
today i dropped off all the breakfast orders at the post office! it wasnt as hard carrying everything in 1 go since there weren't any boxes this time 💪😤
i also finally got my hands on a full mochi swatch set from hopen textiles! i'm not sure why mine was missing many colors originally - i bought it shortly after they switched mochi suppliers, and i know of at least one other person who bought theirs around this time who was also missing colors. any...

Here we are, 4 full bags of orders ready to go out tomorrow morning!
Thank you again everyone for your support! ðŸ™
Thank you everyone who supported me on this drop! I had 200 plushies for sale today and they went so quickly. I can't tell you how much it means to me! It still blows my mind every time!
Fulfillment for drops is always a 2-3 day process for me. While i pre-scent 1/3 of the plush and hand-sew another 1/3 in advance, since people can choose their scent preference i have to wait for orders to come through to finish the last 1/3 depending on how many want them scented. This process has gotten...
Happy Friday!
Since im a bit behind schedule i spent the day working on the newest tutorial post.
I also received my peepitto pins but... ALL of the yellow ones have black smudges that can't be removed!! 😩 so they will have to be remade sadly...
I ended the day by working on the dorayakitties! I tested out the embroidery for the kanji brand on top and ran the embroidery for a large one! Can't wait to finish these up!!
Tomorrow is the breakfast drop, so I'll be spending all week...
Ugh, today did not go as i planned at all - i had something really urgent come up before lunch that ended up with me making stressful phone calls for 5 hours - what a waste of a day!!
I did manage to work on an embroidered version of the head pattern I've been using for patreon posts! There are a number of edits i want to make to the embroidery but it'll be a good learning experience for that series. And looking back i don't know why i ran the eyebrows in white for a white colored plush ðŸ...
Hey all! Happy hump day!
Today i finished sewing up the ditto donuts and finalizing my shop for Saturdays update! Tonight i need to stuff the rest of the donuts and do more handsewing but the bulk of the work is behind me!
I took some time to continue work on the head pattern for a tutorial post for this week, and also stuffed this fluffy squish cat who i made late last week to show off what the squish cat pattern looks like in luxe cuddle minky! This baby also has safety eyes!

Hey all! Today was the 2nd day of donut production for this Saturdays shop update! I got all the purple donuts embroidery done and I'm about 1/3 through sewing all the donuts together. As i figured might happen i didnt get them all done today so I'll be finishing them up tomorrow in addition to prepping my shop for the update!
Have a good night!
I got this pic from my manu last night! These mini peepitto pins are getting shipped out to me soon! 🥳 they will be a part of my spring shop update in a couple months!!

Happy Monday!
Today was the first day of donut production! I got all the embroidery for the rainbow and shiny ones done. I'd reaalllyyy like to get the purple ones made and everything sewn up tomorrow but we'll see how it goes! Things usually take longer than i expect 😅
After these are made i need to do some shop prep to finalize things for the shop update that's happening this saturday, feb 25 at 1pm EST!
while i still have the april dittos to make by mid march, once the breakfas...
Since i finally received fabric today to finish the donuts for the breakfast buddy line I'm locking in the shop update day for them as 1 week from today! It'll be
SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 25 AT 1PM EST!
Hi all, happy Saturday!
I've gotten all the breakfast dittos stuffed and ready for hand sewing! The scents have been mixed up too!
I decided to make some dorayakitties with my new squish cat pattern, so i went to buy some dorayaki at a local japanese specialty store.. and look at how perfect this fabric match is! 🤩 so excited to make them!
Have a good night!
Hey all, happy Friday!
Today i did more work on March's reward for $5 tips & tutorials patrons and higher - besides the mini ITH version, I'll also be including embroidery files and a sewing pattern for a mega mochi mew!
These guys are beginner friendly and can be made from any stretch fabric. They're really nice because they dont take long to make and take up a lot of fabric and stuffing, so if you have leftovers you're trying to use, it will be good for that!
I will be making ...
Today i had a lot of fun working on a reward for March $5 tips & tutorials patrons and higher! I'm tentatively calling these "mini mochi mews" - a month or so ago i had this idea to make a very round kitty out of mochi that would be a really good stim toy, and here's the result! Its a tiny baby that is an ITH pattern that can be made in a 4x4 hoop! And it works well in both minky and mochi~ ofc mochi makes a much more squishy and round mew, but the minky is very cute too!! It'll come with...

Today i had to spend most of my time adulting, unfortunately, but i was able to finish up the last of the pancake dittos for the upcoming breakfast shop update!
I'm still waiting on some fabric in the mail to make the donuts, but I'm *hoping* it'll arrive saturday or Monday - which means we're still looking at a shop update day of feb 25! If things get delayed i will need to push it back a week.
In the meantime I'm going to work on an ITH file reward for March! Ive done some work for th...
Hi all, hope you're having a nice valentines day!
Today has been a bunch of various tasks for me, including finishing up the sewing of the waffle dittos and the rest of the April stickers. I also worked on more content for future patreon posts, took some photos of the bacon and egg dittos, and began sewing the pancake dittos! These are very hard to make since i first sublimate the fabric and then do embroidery on top, so they're very error prone. I hope to finish up the whole batch tomorro...
Happy Monday! Hope youre having a nice start to your week!
Everyone say hello to the newest member of the breakfast buddy family: waffle ditto!
Today i finished up the sublimation design for these guys and got all the fabric prepped for sewing together. I also started preparing the sublimation for the pancake dittos and also started production of the april stickers! I am working way ahead 💪😤
Have a good rest of your day!
