It is the annual Birth-A-Versary commemorating another successful sun revolution. Leaving behind my 30s and moving into my 40s. Lets see what the next decade brings.

Been MIA for a bit. Sorry to anyone trying to get ahold of me. My father had a minor stroke followed up by two other family members central to my childhood passing away in a short period of time. 🙃

If you're waiting on a pin shop order it'll go out Monday or Tuesday. My apologies for the delay. I've been really sick all week and have been a minimally functional lump of meat. Post office people also don't like you sharing your germs with them.

Playing the "fever. Or just cold damp and dreary weather" game. Dislike

Survived working Motor City CC spring edition last weekend. It was wounderful, chaotic, and I got to meet a number of neat people/guests. If I could make a living working shows I can't say I wouldn't try.

Building product for an upcoming shop drop. Stay tuned. 👀

🤔

We will be announcing our first guest for TFcon Chicago tomorrow! They have played characters in both Transformers animation and live action✈️ Any guesses? 🤔 Drop your thoughts below!👇 The reveal is TOMORROW at 10 AM!

Not a lot of people realize this, but "TFcon" is actually short for "Trans Femme Convention" 🏳️‍⚧️ We just happen to have a lot of robot toys there too. Who doesn't like transforming robots? 🤷‍♀️

Experimenting with some hand painted items. A mixture of one off items and small batch creations. Earrings, pendants, limited pins. Maybe the occasional other odd n end.

These tarrif shenanigans are "fun" and by fun I mean "by the time my order of business supplies gets here from China, if it even ever ships, how many times the value of the order will i end up paying in tarrifs?" Fun times.

🤔

Getting current pin orders packaged up to ship in the next day or two. Thank you to the people who have already ordered pins. :)

Another unexpected 2k medical bill. (More dentist stuff.. yay). Will be getting some laser stuff up on my weebly soon to help with costs. Leftover pins, maybe some faction symbol earrings, some other possible stuff. Need to offset some of the 2.5k in dental costs I've spent in the last month. :(

Nothing like an emergency molar extraction to get in the way of making pins for TFcon LA. :/ it's not gonna be a huge set, but I'll have a handful.

Pondering some ways to drum up some extra $ since my sisters income has been impacted due to cancer. Would XL versions of some of my pins for wall hangings/autograph items/whatever interest anyone? If so, which designs? In the early stages of thinking on this.

Mentally tired but plugging along Have some judgemental cats.

Bad anxiety day. Sister had cancer removal surgery today. She's awake post op but we will know more tomorrow about what they found and what further care will look like. Don't like feeling whiny "in public" but today is a feeling whiny day.

My non spoiled bag of chopped salad mix smells the same way a fancy hotel lobby with a water fountain does. I can't explain it, but three other people agreed with me.

Another cancer diagnosis in close family. Not so festive holidays this year.
