at last - a new vlog!!

WOOOHOOOOOO a new vlog! on my youtube channel! who thought we'd ever see the day!! Y'all get early access ;D I'm quite happy with how this video turned out and would love to know what you think <3 it's definitely more of a day-in-the-life video, and less of a studio vlog, but I still think it's great :3

English captions are on the way!! Also, if there are any Spanish or Korean speakers here that have experience in captioning, please let me know! These are th...

so for this month's freebie...

hello my dears!! I am brainstorming for this month's freebie, and I was thinking about doing something a bit different -- I was gonna turn my handwriting into a font! That's exclusively for you guys ;D Lots of folks have asked what font I'm using on my handwritten titles, so I figured I should just...make my handwriting a font at last hahah

Y'all would be free to use it on personal projects on whatever you fancy! Just please credit it back to me :3 Does that so...

a casual little march vloggo for y'all <3

Hi friends!!! I finally got a chance to edit the footage I gathered for a mini vlog back at the end of March!! it features some footage from the theatre, as well as just bits and bobs from me running around doing random errands and things :3

I know there's minor editing errors here and there, but I'm trying real hard to grasp the "done is better than perfect" mentality, which I think is the reason that editing videos takes me so dang long...I hope y'all enjoy it!!! Lemme know what you t...

Hello dear ones!!! I will actually be making a separate post (probs on Monday) for my sketchbook pics, but in the meanwhile~ here’s a little crochet tour! it’s, surprise surprise, a bit ramble but I hope you enjoy it nonetheless :o) Let me know what you think of this format! I was able to film and edit it in under two hours, so this could definitely be a thing for months when I do a significant amount of crochet work :D

Happy Friday !!!

Hi y'all! Kind Rowwenic messaged me asking for a link to my Artist Talk that I gave in February, and folks from the gallery just sent me the link!! This is a recording of the presentation I gave, along with the Q+A at the end. I hope you like it, if you end up watching it!! I'm posting it here for safe keeping so folks can return it when they please. :o)

an idea re: march sketchbook....

Hey cutie pies!!! I was looking at my sketchbooks and I don't have too many drawings/sketches from this month to show you -- HOWEVER I have many many MANY crochet WIPs that I would love to share! I could do it as a blog post, with pictures and some detailed writings, OR I could upload it as a video companion to my actual sketchbook pics. What sounds better? Slash does that sound appealing at all? Crochet is really scratching...

062. understudy crocheter extraordinaire

Hello my sweets!!! Happy happy Friday -- here is our first March podcast :D I hope you like it! I talk about admin woes, lots of understudy/theatre talk, and some crochet thoughts that have been rattling around in my brain. (I really would love your input on what you would wanna see out of a "simple crochet projects" kinda video)

march freebie: a fun little crochet fruit pouch tutorial!

Hi friends!!!! I'm so so happy that I was able to recover the footage I thought I lost and get this out to y'all :3 

This is a more detailed (and slightly modified) walkthrough of this pattern by Hay Hay Crochet -- hopefully, it'll help you get a handle on reading crochet lingo, so that you can broaden your library of crochet tutorials/patterns/etc!

Hello my dears!! I'm coming to you live from the dressing room, where I'm crocheting and listening to them work through our second to last day of tech rehearsal :o) We open tomorrow evening!! And then on Friday we have our first of three understudy rehearsals which will be my time to shine >:D

One of the other understudies had to go on for the main character in rehearsal the other day cause the actor was dealing with some personal stuff, and watching how nervous he was made ME nervou...

061. not quite a dancer, but a "strong mover"

hello sweet bluebells!!! i hope y'all are well!! happy monday and happy end of february~

i had some unfortunate technical difficulties while recording this episode ;; i think it was probably the cord that connects my mic to my laptop? i'm not sure, but i will troubleshoot so that things can go a little more smoothly next time. 

in this episode, i talk at length about the process of ~tech~ and what it's been like understudying three roles, as well as a little bit about my shor...

hello from the theatre hehe

i am currently sat in rehearsal waiting for a run to start so i am sneakily tuning in!! and saying hi!!! i can’t post any photos of the rehearsal space, but i did share a photo from the first page of the script where i doodled quite a bit !! i’ve actually been doodling all over my script, it helps keeps my hands busy when i’m not writing blocking or notes during run throughs

we start tech tomorrow, which means we sit in the theatre for 10 hours and work from moment to moment to fi...

Hi friends!! Our February freebie is here!! It's this darling little hilltop filled to the brim with cute colorful houses :3 I had a lot of fun working on this and I'm pretty happy with how it turned out! It is...vaguely Christmas tree shaped but try not to think about that too much lolol

The size I have attached to this post should work well for both tablets and phones :3 I think if you center it and use white as a bg color, you could also make it work for desktops. Pls let me know wha...

hellloooooo again sweet beans!!

Hello my sweets!! I have returned from the depths of...my apartment! 

To be entirely honest with you, January wasn't as relaxing as I hoped it would be (I seem to find ways to stress myself out regardless of what I've got going on rip) but! It was at least a little bit relaxing and now I am happy to be back here with y'all! I missed you D:

I've got a reward schedule for this month scribbled into my little notebook -- I'm lowkey trying bullet journaling again? But like the ver...

lots of returned tangerine mail :(

Hi y'all!!! I stopped by my PO box this morning to grab any lingering packages and things before Connor and I drive down to Cali tomorrow, but to my surprise, SO MANY tangerine envelopes got returned to me! Seemingly all the ones sent down to Australia and New Zealand were refused...I'm holding onto all AU/NZ parcels until the mail suspension down there is lifted. If you're an Aussie/New Zealand tangerine, and you want to cancel your pledge until  that happens, I totally...

If you join during this month, you will still get charged at the time of joining, but you will not get any rewards for this month.

onward and upward into 2022 !

Hello my dears!! I know some of y'all are already in the new year, but I am not there yet!! So I can still reminisce on 2021 haHA

It's been a weird year for me -- I had a meltdown in January, took February off (and picked up crocheting), closed my shop (for physical products at least), started making Patreon postcards, continued streaming and made Twitch partner (!!!), and have been in this weird sort of art/career purgatory for what feels like the whole year. I also found out that I ha...

december sketchbook tour!!

hello my dears!! i didn't draw a lot this month, but i'm decently happy with the stuff i did draw! because i've been in a weird art rut/burnout, drawing has been hard...i'm hoping (as always) to figure out how to make it more of a habit, especially once i get my adhd medication. maybe i just need to draw a bunch of video game fanart, as that's all i've been doing lately (playing video games that is) WHO KNOWS 

I know I've essentially reached the limits of my current style and I hav...

update re: tangerine mail

Hi y'all!! So, unfortunately, as it is the holiday season, I will not be getting my postcards in as quickly as I had hoped -- they'll be arriving around January 3rd D: I'll let you know soon as stuff arrives in case it gets here sooner, but I wanted to give you a heads up that I won't be able to send out December tangerine rewards until January. Sorry for the delay!!
