June Update

Hello!

I just wanted to update everyone that I'm nearing the completion of my next big episode! It's taking me longer than I expected, but is one I'm really proud of :D

Because of what is going on in the world at the moment, I decided to postpone my May live-steam till later this month. That said, I plan to do a normal livestream as well as a craft-along this month to make up for it :))

Here is a teaser of what is coming in this month alone...

Good morning!

I was thinking something I could do that would be fun, is to share a few of my very favorite songs! This a playlist with some of my all time favorites and if you have any you think I might like or want to share, let me know in the comments!

Hello!

I hope you are all having a super fun weekend! For the last few weeks I've been working on some really exciting stuff for you, while also experimenting with a whole new medium!

Hello!!!

SO, due to a snow storm we had on the mountain, the power has been going in and out the last few days! Yesterday, I thought they had fixed the issue but then at 8:00 PM last night it went out again and never came back on 😭

So if you all don’t mind, can we move our bake-along day to next Sunday the 5th?! The power might come back on at some point today, but I really don’t want to risk being halfway through the livestream... it happens again and everyone is left stra...
