i'm closing the secret shop temporarily!!

Hi friends!! Woooo, apologies for the radio silence this month -- turns out moving takes up like all my brain cells and a lot of things tend to fall through the cracks. Such as the secret shop! I wanted to say I'm so so sorry for the delay in getting your orders to you -- I know some of you have been waiting since early April. But all the open orders have been shipped out, and they'll hopefully be in your hands shortly!!

Since the secret shop has been one of the things...

how do we feel about this sticker for june??

Hey y'all!! So one of my besties, Seth, came over the other night, and we were a little ~inebrieated~ and he asked me to draw a "turtle and it says 'I'm always home'" and I had to draw it with my left and my right, and obviously the left-handed one was a monstrosity, but I think the right-handed one turned out really cute, so I thought about making it June's sticker!!! What do y'all think? 

I also like the kinda punchy red/pink I chose for the bg color, I feel it's a bg color I've ...

need some input on the april postcard

Hi friends! I'm having some trouble deciding on the April postcard flourishes -- do we like the stars or sparkles better?

I think I'm leaning towards the sparkles??? But I'm not sure! What do you think? Do you think it might work without any flourishes at all?

here's the plain version, just for good measure:

questions for this week's pod?

Hello my sweets!! It's been a hot minute since we did a little q&a, so I thought this would be a good time to do one :D I'll be recording the podcast on Thursday morning, so you've got a couple days to get your q's in~

what kinda apartment tours do you like?

Hello!!! So my mom is helping me reorganize my apartment -- tidying up, downsizing a bit, rearranging stuff so I have space to move in all the stuff from my studio (also, helping me clean, bless her heart <33)

I wanna finally film my apartment tour since it'll be all tidy and neat, but I wanna get some input from y'all. My two main questions are:

  • 1) Do you want me to wait until after all my studio stuff is moved home, or do you want a tou...

075. trying to get ahead of my stress, somehow

Hello! I hope you enjoy this JUICY podcast!!! Apologies this is coming to you later than planned, so I hope the hour-long rambly goodness helps make up for it <3

It's a bit all over the place -- I talk about anti-fat bias and my child-like food tastes, my fear/excitement about moving out of this apartment, some break-up blues, some theatre things, and some yarn things! Huzzah!! 

Here's links to the stuff I mentioned:

i updated secret shop inventory!!

hi y'all!! i updated the secret shop inventory to include the november and december rewards~ and i put some items on sale!! i also reordered a restock of the "landscape sketchbook" and "yarn department" prints :o) and here's the password again for you:

Helloooo sweet patron friends! I'm having some trouble deciding on what kinda video I should do next for my YouTube channel...I'm moving out of this apartment at the end of April (and yes, I'll be doing a moving vlog, but that won't be going up until end of May, most likely!)

And so I'm wondering if you want to see a baking video, a closet cleanout, or if I should post a crochet tutorial for my little pencil pouch! I wanna make all of these eventually, but knowing which you wanna see mo...

early access to my new vlog :o)

Hellooooo!! Here's a little vlog I've been chipping away at for the last couple weeks. I'm really happy with how it turned out!! I know it's a lot shorter than my videos usually are, but I hope you'll enjoy it all the same. I'm working on getting back into the swing of vlogging again, and it's nice to realize how much I've missed it. :') 

I hope y'all are well! I'll probably be putting ads on this video and publishing it on Wednesday or Thursday, jsyk <3

I hope you like it...
