Happy Fifth Birthday Misery Makes! I can’t believe it’s been five years since I launched my little goth crafting business on Etsy. Thank you to everyone who has supported and ordered from me, come to the craft fairs, or found me in the coolest and darkest corners.

Misery Makes will be at @tabletopscot.bsky.social again this year at the start of September, sharing a table with our good friends at we_evolve. Hope to see you there!

I’ll be at the Fright Fair Gothic Market in Lowestoft on Saturday (28th June), at the Hatfield Hotel (11-3). Come and say hello and check out all the cool gothy wares!

I’ve been working on some new designs but in the meantime the ever popular arcane sigil design and Cthulhu-like tentacle design hankies are back in stock on my Etsy store - miserymakesshop.etsy.com

This Saturday, Misery Makes will be at the Fright Fair in Lowestoft at the Hatfield Hotel, from 11am until 3pm. It may be sunny outside but it’ll be dark and safe at the Fright Fair. Come and see me there!

Just packaging up the extras for my 1000th customer. Congratulations, and thank you to all of my customers for your continued support. I should have some new designs on the site this year, and hope to see you at one of the planned fairs!

Coming up to my 1000th customer on Misery Makes and to celebrate this massive milestone I’m giving away an original piece of art featuring Misery the Magpie, along with a badge and some pocket zines to my 1000th customer. Miserymakesshop.etsy.com

Back in stock, rising from the deep, are the ever-popular tentacle hankies! Available now from miserymakesshop.etsy.com

Hello! I’ve found Bluesky! I’m hoping this will be better than Facebook and Instagram, but looking forward to sharing what I’m making and selling.
