June Happy Mail

A little delayed, but I hope the wait is worth it because I have been SO excited to finally show you the new stickers for this month!

Inspired by your piggies, I drew over 60 unique guinea pigs to make one of my absolute favorite sticker sheets yet! This month's happy mail rewards include a large sticker sheet + a matching vinyl sticker.

An update: making stuff & finding cats (literally)

First, I wanna apologize for the radio silence. It's been an insanely busy month, which became suddenly even more busy/delayed because I FOUND A CAT a couple weeks ago 😅

If you haven't seen my stories on Instagram, I suddenly found a stray orange cat outside of our apartment. The little man was walking around in our courtyard crying, and when I called him over, I saw that he was really skin...

The lemons that started it all 🍋

Last month, I took a group workshop with friends where we all painted lemons. And sitting at that canvas making art totally unrelated to my work awakened a very dormant part of my creativity that I forgot about.

Over the past few weeks, I've done more painting than I have done in years. If you've been following me for a while, you may remember when I used to paint just for fun. But since starting on my art biz full time (about 3 years ago), I haven't really done much painting a...

May rewards - Breakfast Club

Remember that egg guinea pig I made? Well, it was actually a part of this Breakfast inspired sticker sheet! I really wanted to do another foodie themed sticker set like the dessert guinea pigs I made before, and this is what I came up with :D The set includes a large sticker sheet and a matching weather resistant matte sticker.

Things coming this May:

• Small ceramics restock - I have some things on the shelf I'd like to list before the summer starts! This will probably be t...

Poll: Snack clip bags with magnets?

Please excuse the double post! I realize that I need feedback on this asap since I need to finalize the order.

-----

The making doesn't stop - I have so many ideas coming to me, and rather than showing restraint, I'm making it all.

I wanted to make bird clips for the first round of snack bag clips, but I just didn't have the inspiration at the time. This weekend though, I finally got around to it and hopefully they come before June.

New sock samples (autumn collection)

I'm really kicking it off with sock designs this year :D I created 4 designs for summer, and here are 4 ADDITIONAL designs for autumn. That means 8 whole new designs for 2025!

There are some minor things I need to change, but overall they already look so good. I feel so much more confident making sock designs now compared to when I first started, and it's become one of my favorite things to do. I esp...

Last summer items + tariff fears

Images of the last 3 bag designs to join the summer collection + a new pigeon cap/beanie in the works

------

I've never made such a big expanse of products for a single collection before. But with 3 huge summer conventions coming and the new US tariffs, I've been feeling a lot of pressure to make this collection a good one.

I'm really worried this might be the last big manufacturing push I can do for a while because the economy is just so uncertain right now. Even tho the ta...

Sneak peak: Summer collection

This is my first year doing lots of conventions, and we were very lucky to get accepted into several large ones this summer. But with these additional events also comes additional work - and I've been working my arse off for the past few months

While I didn't technically need to design new stuff, I wanted to. And as I got to creating, more and more ideas began to come out and suddenly there were enough new things to actually become a full 2025 summer collection.

In t...

April rewards: Fruits and more veggies!

I hope you aren't too tired of the fruit and veggie themes cause there's more this month! I know it strays from the path of making cute animals, but sometimes I do draw other things when the inspiration hits :P

This month's rewards will include a set of fruit stickers and for the first time - large A4 prints! I just need to figure out the best way to send these to you so that they don't get damaged in transit, but it's gonna be so worth it.

The baguette bag

I haven't been able to draw or make much art this week due to some chronic arm issues, but I did make this today. It's a concept for a baguette bag - and I know it's super niche, but I feel like this is a need for anyone who regularly buys bread from the bakery 😆

I wonder if I should make this a pair though, one that is long for baguettes and one that is shorter for loafs.

Either way, I need to decide soon cause this is about the last week I can order anything for it to be on t...

Beanies and caps for 2025

My last post was about the poor dino who didn't make the cut :') But on a happy note, these are the designs that I'm currently getting made!

The thick beanies are specifically made for winter, which is very far off I know, but shipping is so expensive that ordering them now will save me a lot of money and time.

The plan is to release the corduroy caps as soon as I get them so they can be used in summer! Fingers crossed they come in April as expected <3

The dino who didn't make the cut :')

A little while ago, I was playing with the idea of making a dinosaur design for caps and beanies after an off-hand comment from a guy we bought bagels from in New York City :P

He wanted something that was "cute but tough" and my guinea pig beanie didn't scream fierce to him (clearly he hasn't met a guinea pig before hehe).

But I really liked the idea of doing a dinosaur beanie! So over the winter, I made a "fierce but funny" design that I quite liked.

Cat mugs: One year later...

Can you believe that I've been working on this cat mug for over a year now? 🫠 I've actually lost track of how many samples I've gone through after rejecting so many bad versions.

But I just got this video from a new supplier, and this looks really promising! There still need to be some adjustments made, but I'm actually, dare I say it, feeling hopeful this might just work.

If you're new here, you might be surprised to see I'm looking for a supplier to mass produce...

March happy mail - veggies & panic

Hi friends! It's already March which means a new sticker theme! I'll admit that this month's happy mail combo doesn't exactly match :P But with so much going on recently, the only additional thing I could draw was this cat (inspired by Shrimp).

There are lots of new things coming to the shop this month! The spring collection will be released later this week (I still need to add all the fantasy cats to the shop) and there will also, FINALLY, be a ceramics restock at...

February mail on th way!

Your adventuring cat set is now on the way! I've dropped them all off to the post now and I'm so excited for you to get this set 😁

I think the bard and the purple warlock are still my favorite 2, inspired by my own cats Shrimp and Haddock hehe.

Mug pre-orders open!

I've just opened up a limited number of mug pre-order spots and have also included the new Year of the Snake design as an option!

Mug pre-orders take 3-6 weeks for me to make, but I've already begun making the base mug forms so I expect it to be a bit quicker this time :)

New video: Merch + mini update!

Hiii! I'm very rusty at doing videos now but there's so much new stuff I wanna share with you and this seemed like the easiest way.

I really enjoyed doing this lil update video actually and it feels like something I could do more frequently. It reminds me of when I was doing the lil podcast updates. Without needing to do a long editing session, this feels way more manageable to do more frequently.

Let me know if you like more of this and what you think of the new merch!

New! Snack bag clips :D

I shared this a little while ago, but the snack bag clips are finally here! I've never made these before, but I am so happy with how they came out. They come in sets of three and are absolutely fantastic for closing off snack bags for you or your pets :D

If these are popular, I'd love to branch out and make more ^^ Next on my list would be a set of 3 birds or forest animals.

If you want to get them for yourself, you can find them here: 2025-02-09 20:08:00 +0000 UTC View Post

Feb rewards: Paws of the Round Table!

I really love doing themed sticker sheets like this, and these little characters came to me during a stroke of inspiration! I somehow managed to design all these characters within a few days and couldn't be more impressed with myself 😂 It's amazing what can be done when the time is right.

I'm thinking that a version of these cats, but as villains, would be so fun to do next. Just need to figure out when that would be hehe.

Coming this month:

Happy mail coming + digital download update

Hi friends! Lunar new year happy mail will be on the way tomorrow. I was hoping to send them earlier, but there have been a lot of delays with my shipments recently and I only got the stickers yesterday 💕

Also I have to address the lack of digital downloads recently. This originally was an extra bonus I included during months I had time, and in 2024 I committed to trying to make them each month.

But I began to notice that I was always making them last minute and very few peop...

January happy mail set :D

Here is the official set for January's happy mail! The sticker sheet, as shared before, features the 12 animals that won the Great Race and became part of the Lunar Calendar.

And to celebrate the Year of the Snake, I've designed a red and gold foiled postcard to match :) The character in the middle 福 means luck or fortune, which is traditionally hung upside down in the home to represent luck arriving.

Happy Lunar New Year! (Comes January 29, but is celebrated all week)
