Last Shop Update, I Promise! Since It's Pride Month, I Do Still Have Some Pride Critters Available. I

You’re tired. Burnt out. Exhausted. Stressed.

This lowers your capacity for emotional regulation.

You’ll cry more easily. Get dragged into low moods more easily. Simple little things where you’re like ‘dang, that shouldn’t hit so hard,’ will wallop you.

This will trick you into thinking you’re weak and can’t handle life. A loser.

Not so my friend.

It’s a signal that you need a nap, need to allow for more sleep at night, need to prioritize and scale back on what you can accomplish in a day, need to take a mental health day or even a leave.

Something’s got to give.

But!

It’s not your self worth.

Poll is still going, friends! Help me pick a project for the new year!

attention critters!!

i'm doing fanart sketches for 🍉 reply or dm me a screenshot of your do/nation to doctors without borders and i will sketch something for you!

(not sure how this works on tumblr but i'm trying not to use any keywords that'll get me flagged as a bot, so i can get more eyes on this.)

Kofi only allows 10 photos per listing and some of my sets have 12 items each. So here's an array of the product photos of the "Fairy Tale Princesses" collection.

These items have been made in a home with a cat so if you have allergies, please let me know ahead of time!!

Item Details: Approximate height: Ranging between 3.75 in/9.5 cm and 5.25 in/13.33 cm tall Materials used: Acrylic yarn, plastic safety eyes, poly fill stuffing, embroidery thread

*Washing instructions: Recommended spot cleaning by hand, but can be washed with a washing machine in a laundry bag (delicate setting and warm water) and air dried.

**The patterns for these items were created and designed by Jana Whitley, and handmade by Sly Fox of Nerdvana Crafts. These items are intended as fanart, and I am in no way affiliated with Disney or Thunder Bay Press. These characters are owned and copyrighted by Disney.

Days like today are when I'm really grateful for my cat. Migraines suck no matter how "mild" they might be, and she knew something was wrong. So instead of her usual shenanigans, she curled up by my legs for about an hour while I rested. She wasn't even terribly perturbed by my fidgeting or shifting. These are the moments I'll try to remember when she's being a shithead later.

Change a single letter and change the word game

I want to play a game with you all.

You have to make a new word by changing only one letter of the last word.

Actually, I’m tired of hearing fiber arts be referred to as “grandma crafts”. I’m going to be honest, I think the association of “this is a thing only boring old people do” is bullshit. One; because older people are rarely genuinely boring. And two; I think it puts people off of learning these things.

oh and people who write fanfics are not "less talented" than people who write original works as their main source of income, by the way. fanfic writers aren't "all children going through a phase". they're writers who put in time, efforts and dedication just like any other writers, the only difference is that, instead of making their writing a career to earn themselves money, they write for free, out of pure passion, because they love the characters they're writing about so much that they're writing novel-length fics about them. you look uneducated af by using "fanfic writer" as an insult to imply fanfic writers aren't as valid or talented as writers who earn money from their works, especially when I've read so many fanfics that are a lot better and more professionally written than some best-selling books out there.
