Hi all, hope you had a great weekend! Today i cut out and stuffed most of the cinnamon rolls for the upcoming breakfast shop update! I also snagged a pic with some cinnamon rolls i had at the house ð but there's a strong chance I'll be making my own cinnamon rolls for more pictures!!
I also began testing some sublimation for a new breakfast buddy that'll be joining the group this year!
Have a good night!
Superbowl sunday more like superbee... superbeewl.. superbeel... sunday amirite?

Those who pledge to the sticker tier; tips, tutorials & sticker tier; or ditto plush tiers between March 1-31 will receive this lil guy in the mail!
Hope you all had a nice Saturday!
Today i finished up the embroidery for the cinnamon rolls. My machine was not being nice with these last night so i gave it a break - i had 2 massive needle breaks, one of them pictured here ð i dont think I've ever seen one like that before! I had another one happen immediately after that so i called it a night. But then today my sensor Q foot snapped! These cinnamon rolls are cursed ð
After that I've been doing hand sewing on the egg and bacon d...
Happy Friday!
I started my day off by finalizing a couple tutorial posts here! The first one is on patterning simple muzzles and can be found here.
After that i started putting together the design files for my summer popsicle pins! I'm switching both manufacturers for these and also trying ...

Hey all!
I got a late start to my day after taking my dad to a doctor's appointment, but i was still able to get all the sublimation done for the bacon dittos and I'm getting them sewn together!
I also did some work prepping for another patterning post that will go up tomorrow- that's the little friend you see in these images ðĪ
I also finished making hopefully enough stock of the march ditto stickers - i wonder what they could be? ð
Have a nice night!
Happy hump day!
Today i finished up designing the March sticker - oof my printer was NOT happy today and was giving me lots of issues!! So it took me a lot longer to get finalized than i would have liked >< the sticker reveal will be next week!
I also began production of the bacon dittos for the breakfast drop which i hope will be late this month! Last year when i made them i was still using my tiny easy press. Since i have a new heat press and sublimation strats, i needed to adj...

hey all! while working on the hopen textiles mochi minky guide i have also updated the big z mochi minky guide to include their newest color, blush. it's a very light peachy tan that would work for a light skin tone. the entire guide can be accessed here:

Hey all! Man, today went by so fast!
I spent most of it on reward fulfillment! I've prepackaged stickers for february's sticker club! I like having a bunch of envelopes prepped and ready to go so i can quickly grab them, pop an address on and get them out!
And of course, the clodsire pattern was released! Its available through this post here through midnight tonight 1/31, and will ...
can you guys believe it's already the end of january? i know i can't!
it's been an insanely busy month for me but i am so thrilled with how things are going and humbled beyond belief ðĨ° 4 months ago i was miserable sitting at my desk at my full time job each day, but now i wake up every morning excited about the work i get to do. thank you all! i am VERY excited about a collab i have happening over the next few months, one which i hope to start in february... and you all will directly...

Hope you all are having a great Sunday!
Today is day 2 of fulfillment for my shop update! I'm going to try and pack up most of the orders. I start with any orders that i need to combine, like from people who placed multiple orders. Then i go through and do batches of the same item (for example everyone who bought 1 scented sugar cookie, then do all the unscented ones, etc).
I have almost 250 orders to fill, so it'll be a long day! ðŠ
Hey all, hope you had a great saturday!
My valentines day shop update was earlier today - thank you to everyone who supported me!! My new shop handled things wonderfully today, I'm so relieved!
The first day of fulfillment is always scenting and hand sewing the dittos. Since i allow my customers to choose a scent option, i dont lock in a certain number as scented or unscented. This means i have to wait until all orders to come in to finish hand sewing all plush. I do pre-scent about 25%...
hi all, hope you had a nice friday!
today i've done final posts & preparation for my shop update that is happening tomorrow, jan 28 at 1pm EST! i've gotten the strawberry boxes prepped and also have a bunch of mailing boxes to tape up tonight. don't forget to set alarms if you're interested! cross your fingers that my new shop handles everything smoothly ðĪŠðĪ

Hey everyone! Today i did some work to prep a few tip posts for $5 tips & tutorials patrons and higher, got all the single sweetditto pins on their backing cards, and did the majority of the editing for the waffleback lizard timelapse video!
I'm also still working through creating the hopen textile guide! I've matched about 2/3 of the colors and then i have to go back through and take photos of everything.
Have a great night!
FINALLY! i got the backing cards for the single sweetdittos!
it's a long story how these ended up being made... these single sweetdittos were meant to be the pink pins in my sweetditto set, but my manu REALLY screwed up the color and they came out purpley-pink... too close to purple for it to look good in the full set. so i had them remade to be true pink for the full set. but that meant i had ...

Hey everyone! Hope you're having a great weekend!
It's cold and rainy by me and after a long day of traveling yesterday it is the perfect day to relax and get these pins on their backing cards! I'm so in love with how this set came out ðĨ°
Hey all! I'm busy all day today traveling to prepare for my dads move. Here are some of the waffleback lizards I've made to show off the possibilities of the ITH pattern that will be a reward in February!
You can use mochi or normal minky. You can also just make em plain without any scales, or make them look closer to real shingleback lizards!
I also took a nice product photo late yesterday that i enjoyed taking ð§ðĪĪ
hey all! my valentine's day shop update will be on
SATURDAY JANUARY 28 AT 1PM EST
i won't have as many selections as other drops but here's what will be available - i will also have a few seconds grade/one-offs besides these standard designs!

I've had a long and exhausting day of traveling for family stuff today (my dad is in poor health and we're moving him up to a facility by me ð) but i got to come home to the last of the sweetditto pins, which means the set is finally complete! ð i just love how they all look with the backing card!
My manu did a poor job matching the pink pantone and it had come out purple/pink and needed to be remade. While the color was very nice and ditto-like, i needed a pink for the full set! Thi...
Here's a preview of another reward in February for $5 tips & tutorials and higher patrons: a waffleback lizard ITH file!
In keeping with the valentines day breakfast theme, i chose shingleback lizards because they mate for life, could form a heart shape when 2 were made, and are a mighty good play on words ð§ðĪ
Even though most of my patterns i release on patreon will be distributed at the end of the month, I'll send this one out earlier in February just in case anyone w...
