Kofi Only Allows 10 Photos Per Listing And Some Of My Sets Have 12 Items Each. So Here's An Array Of

The last of the keychains is being completed today! I swears it!

Happy 2025! Can you believe it's a new year already? New year means new updates so here we go:

First and foremost, I will be pushing the Kofi a little harder this year as it will become my primary source of income. I am thinking of adding monthly membership tiers starting with a dollar for those who want to support but are tight on funds. I'm also considering a $5 tier blind bag option where members can get a mystery baby animal blorbo every month, but I'll need to build up some stock so it might be a little bit before that one arrives. After that, however, as a primarily fiber artist, I'm not sure what else I could offer in higher tiers other than my eternal gratitude so if there's something you think I could offer exclusively to higher tiers, feel free to make suggestions in the comments below!

Secondly, as Kofi will become my primary source of income, that also means that my commission slots will be opening soon! How soon, you ask? Hopefully by February 1st! I'll be opening FOUR small commission slots and don't worry, there WILL be a commission list coming so y'all can see what I have at my disposal. Commissions will start at $30 + shipping for the smaller items, and increase based on the approximate size and estimated time for larger items (like dragons!). The list will be divided by size categories so folks will know ahead of time about how much they'll be paying. As of right now, I will not be taking custom commissions, or commissions outside of my repertoire, while I am figuring out this new system of mine, and how much I can physically and mentally handle being a full-time online maker and crafter.

Final third item, I will be setting up the shop this month to showcase what's currently available to be shipped and what's available to be commissioned so folks have a better view of my repertoire. There will be two separate categories: items ready to ship and items available for commission. The difference being that the items ready to ship have already been made and are sitting on a shelf waiting to find a new home.

That's it for new updates! Oh! Before I forget! As part of pushing the Kofi (and helping me raise the funds for C2E2), we have a cute little tracker that for every donation of a certain amount, a specific image gets colored in. We started that in December, and here's what we have so far!

Anyway, THAT'S it for new updates! Let's start the new year off with smiles, happy thoughts, and ready to kick some ass! Happy 2025!

No new WIP pics this week because I apparently can't read a calendar!

However! We are officially 130 days from C2E2 and yours truly is attending! Not as a vendor, sadly, but I'd like to make my own cosplay for the occasion. To do so, though, means time away from my crafting, so we're going to play a fun game to track progress towards the cosplay AND the con (which is why it's so high). As funds are raised/set aside, we'll color in the corresponding item until either the goal is reached or it's con time. This will be an ongoing goal until April 9th! Let's go!

Omgosh tiny phoenix!

I've always made use of dragon iconography, using them to represent resilience and determination. A phoenix rises from the ashes, but a dragon doesn't burn in the first place.

But I can't always be a dragon. Sometimes I do burn. And then I have to get back up again. Right now I need to get back up, so I decided to work on a phoenix pattern. I reckon a lot of y'all need to get back up too, so remember that even a tiny phoenix rises.

Day three of shop updates! (I know, I've been busy!)
