Hello my dears!! I've got the design for our November tangerine sticker (and I love it sm TuT), but I need help deciding on details. I'm wondering about which background color looks best:
And do you prefer the fun sparkles, or the more delicate shine on the apple? I love the look of the sparkles, but the shine makes for a cleaner sticker silhouette. HMMM

Hello friends!!! I hope you had a cozy, safe, appropriately or desirably scary Halloween >:) My best friend Brooke is in town (we've been friends for almost two decades, they are my ride or die), and it's my first time seeing her in THREE YEARS and we're having such a wonderful time. We went yarn shopping yesterday, and I showed her my studio, and we watched Barbarian last night while drinking mulled wine and crocheting together hehehe. (also oh my GOD what a good horror movie!!!)...

Hi friends! Here is this month's tangerine rewards! I just realized I should have made the sticker witch look like the postcard witch or vice versa, to create like a cohesive narrative, but just pretend they're roommates and the purple hair one is admiring their roomie's find heheh
I'm quite happy with it! I think it's very cute <3 join the tangerine tier before the end of the month if you wanna get ur hands on these goodies~

Hellooo my dears~ I'm still..not having a great time, but I am very happy with how my October postcard turned out -- so much so, that I made it into a coloring page!! I'll post the full colored version that'll be going out to tangerines probably later today, but I wanted to share this very cute coloring page version with y'all :3 The PDF has the smaller version shown above, along with a second full-page version of the drawing, in case you want it to be a bit bigger, or share it with someone o...

Hello y'all!! Coming out of my quiet healing cocoon to share some cool fun news - I'm working on a collab with my fave crochet YouTuber, Toni from TL Yarn Crafts :3 I'm working with her on her fall merchandise collection ~ I was supposed to be working on this in September as well but for obvious reasons, I wasn't able to get any work done on it ;; SO I have to crunch a little bit this mont...
2022-10-10 20:15:23 +0000 UTC View PostMarian came through on Monday and was an absolute CHAMP and packed up all the September tangerine mail, and I sent it all off on Wednesday, so it should hopefully be in your hands soon!
I hope y'all are doing well~ Happy happy Friday <3
hi friends! again, i am eternally grateful for your patience and understanding these last few weeks as i go through this major life change.
i'm back in the studio now, and i'm hoping to very slowly build back a routine -- i will still be a bit quiet on here for october (alas, i do not have the energy to participate in any drawing challenges this month 😞), but!! i'll be posting our podcast, sketchbook tour, and the tangerine rewards as per usual. i'm hoping to maybe make s...
2022-10-03 19:36:05 +0000 UTC View Posthi y'all! so, as you can imagine, this has been a really difficult month -- unfortunately, i'm not going to be able to get out any rewards besides the tangerine postcards, which i was able to order at the very start of september. i'm really really sorry, but i hope you can understand why. october rewards will definitely be delivered in full! i'm even hoping i can maybe participate in peachtober or cheektober, but we shall see. :-)
thanks again for your understanding x
2022-09-26 16:58:55 +0000 UTC View Posthi friends! just wanted to give y'all a big life update, and an explanation as to why september's rewards are gonna be a bit late. connor and i have broken up, and the split is not going as well as i had hoped. i appreciate your grace and understanding during this extremely difficult time, and hopefully i'll be back to making art for you soon. love you lots x

I was thinking of making him our sept postcard?? it's a little ~simpler~ I guess than my postcards have been recently so i'm a little self-conscious about it, lmao. I was also thinking about turning him into a phone bg maybe??

2022-08-30 18:51:22 +0000 UTC View PostHello my sweets! WOW this episode is a bit all over the place -- I do hope you'll forgive me lol. I've got a lot going on today, so my brain is definitely kinda all over the place ;;
I hope you like this episode!! And I hope you're doing okay. Here are some of the things I mentioned:
WOOOOO here's my new vloggo! sponsored by hoyoverse! AAHHH
i will say, hoyoverse has had the quickest turnaround in terms of content approval of any brand i've worked with? maybe it's cause they're based in china and basically on an opposite timezone, but i submitted my final draft to them last night and when i woke up this morning i had the approval email in my inbox!
it's also definitely the longest ad spot i've ever done, and was also the weirdest, as i've never been sponsored ...

Hello friends!! How are y'all doing? I'm doing okay~ I'm tired and a bit worn down, so I'm trying to take it reeeealllly slow. I tend to bury myself in work when I don't feel well emotionally or mentally, but that never serves me, so!! I'm still trying to work (cause I do love what I do), but I'm just taking it very very easy. You'd think after being self-employed for almost 5 years, I'd have a better handle on not stressing myself out so much, but alas :))
ANYWAY I have been d...

Hello my loves!! First off, happy August! I do love it when the first of a month lands on a Monday, it just feels...~right~. I have a new video for you !! It's a draw with me combined with a sketchbook tour -- I had every intention of finishing my sketchbook in a week, but you will see that that...did not happen lmao. I somehow draw very slowly but at the same time am very impatient and tend to rush a bit. Not sure how that works but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I really hope you like it!! I downloade...

Hello my dears!! Here is our July sketchbook tour!! I am so so happy that I got to upload so many sketchbook pages hehe -- since I was focusing so much on finishing my old sketchbook, I didn't really draw much at all digitally (save for my youtube thumbnail). I had a lot of fun cranking out these pages and I hope you enjoy looking through them!! <33
Lots of love,
Chey
Update: Just to be safe, I'm going to be resending June rewards to all the tangerines that I haven't heard from re: receiving a mislabeled envelope. This could mean some of y'all wind up with two sets of rewards, but I'd rather be safe than sorry! July rewards will be going out next week, during the first week of August. :o)
Hello my sweets! So I've been cross referencing the list of "wrong names" versus those who received said mis-labeled ...

Hello my sweets! I added this in the description of the video, but I wanted to make sure that y'all saw it too - it's a Google Doc with the written pattern for the cute crochet coaster. :o) I figured it might be easier to have on hand rather than having to constantly go back and scrub through the video. Happy Monday!
2022-07-25 18:21:35 +0000 UTC View PostHello my dears!! Here is our second July podcast -- I talk a little bit about some day-to-day happenings, and some cool opportunities, but the majority of this episode is just me gushing about yarn and crochet and knitting. It's been taking up a lot of space in my brain recently, so you'll have to forgive me hahah.
These are all the patterns I mentioned:
Hello my sweet patrons!! Here is early access to a new YouTube video I'll be publishing next week -- just gotta make the thumbnail and get some captions done. :o) This was actually very fun to film and edit, considering it was way more straight forward than my vlogs are, where I have to sift through 3-4 hours of footage and find the interesting bits lol.
I hope you like this video, and I hope you enjoy following along!! Y'all are my early access crowd, so if there's any weird editing hi...
2022-07-16 01:48:41 +0000 UTC View PostHello friends!! So it does, indeed, seem that pretty much everyone got mail sent to them with the wrong name/right address mix-up. I think I have a course of action:
Hello my dear bluebells!! Happy happy Friday~ I hope you enjoy this episode! I chat quite a bit about how I've been practicing mindfulness, some about some ~acting things~ that have been happening recently, and also some crochet projects I'm excited about >:) Here are the links I mentioned!!!
Hello my friends!! It’s been long overdue, but here is an updated masterlist of all my resources/suppliers/etc!! Since my shop has closed, this list has changed a bit, but it’ll have everything that I’m currently using on a regular basis, from art supplies to stream specs. :D If you want to know more about my shop packaging/product sourcing, you can check out the older 2019 post that is also in the tag “resources masterlist” tag, or just 2022-07-07 18:00:17 +0000 UTC View Post
Hello my dears!! Here is the preview for our July mail - I’m really happy with them!!! The fire Soph is basically a slightly edited version of my fave Twitch emote on my channel heheheh >:3
And the postcard went through some trial and error - I thought I was gonna do a more "painterly" look, cause I love it when other artists make fun painterly, scribbly flower still life's, but I can't quite figure out my digital process for that yet...so! I went with a m...
2022-07-06 22:10:33 +0000 UTC View PostHello my sweets! So I'm posting this for everyone, in case some tangerines have moved tiers, but there seems to have been a bit of an address kerfuffle with the June rewards -- some folks are receiving their rewards with the right address but wrong name, and some are receiving two envelopes, with the second address having their address but a different name. This is totally my bad!
When I download the .csv with all the addresses, I usually reorganize it and tidy it...

Hello my sweets! Here is our July schedule~ this is just for the big posts for the month!! There will of course be other little tidbits here and there as we go through July. :D
I didn't set a "mailing date" for the tangerine mail, just cause production times are a bit all over the place rn, so it's hard to know when I'll have the product in hand to start packing, ya know?
I'm hopefully gonna have a new YouTube video for y'all next week 2022-07-01 19:00:43 +0000 UTC View Post
hello my sweets!!! here is the second of our ~non traditional~ june bluebell rewards: a sweet little crochet tutorial! i came up with this coaster design, and had a lot of fun walking through it for y'all :3 the video is time-stamped for your easy perusal, and i hope you have fun making these sweet little flowery rounds. <3 you can also use them as face scrubbies tbh -- i would maybe just go down in hook size to 3.75/4mm to make them a bit smaller and tighter. :o)
