Day 3 (last night, oops) of making a childhood fave in Amigurumi, I got her arms made! Had a severe migraine and have been overworking my body for a few weeks, so I couldn't do more. I am hoping to get her dress collar, hair, nose and eyes done over the long weekend 🥹

Day 2 of doll making done!

I've made her dress and added the functional pocket!

The second clue is that her co-host (and most of the cast if I remember correctly) is a clown 🤡

Doll base done!

I'm exhausted and have to get up early for my job, but I'm glad I was able to crochet on and off today and get the base of this doll done :)

Can anyone wager a guess as to who the doll is? I'll give y'all a hint: she was really popular in a show from the late 90s to early 00s 🤡

Good afternoon, y'all!

We finally have everything in a place at the new house, but my entire art studio is packed into a tiny room that it isn't supposed to be in, and it might take another month or more to be set up in a big room properly.

That being said, all of my yarn drawers are set up properly, and my finished projects are in clear tubs and/or on display and accessible, so I am hoping to get back into the swing of things ASAP.

The unfortunate part on top of this is that I am both working a very hard physical job for 30-35 hours a week now, AND am going through severe health issues, so I cannot pheasibly give good dates on anything.

However, I have been healing well this weekend compared to how my body felt during the week, and am wanting to start on fun fall related projects :)

I am hoping to find time to also finish a basic phone backgrounds set I was working on before the move. It's a whimsigoth zodiac wallpaper for when you lock your phone, each one has the constellation for each sign.

If anyone has any suggestions, or is interested in getting a project from me themselves, I will offer up to 20% off on finished projects and bring back the $10 jewelry sale for finished jewelry pieces as well.

Hello folks!

We closed on our old place Wednesday, but are still moving a lot of stuff in and out. It's been about 3 weeks of moving and my disabled body just can't handle it much more.

I have a temporary space for all things art related, but it's all a jumbled mess and I am very burnt out at this point. I haven't crocheted in almost a month at this point and am struggling mentally and physically.

I am also starting a very physical job soon and it's going to take it out of me most days. I'm not sure how much I will be creating over the next few months as we settle in, but I will try to pop on here when able to give updates.

Hi everyone!

I will actually be moving in the next few days, so I won't be able to fulfill any requests for a few days, I don't anticipate being able to have everything unpacked and properly in place for a few weeks, so I think maybe mid-August I will reopen :)
