I am an artist. This is a home-based arts business that operates only because of customers like you!
Someone who works with their hands is a laborer, someone who works with their hands and their head is a craftsman, someone who works with their hands, their head, and their heart is an artist.

New Noodle Dragon in the making!

Using Glitter Bomb eyes - my new favorite "they work with everything! 🤩" eyes!

It's been about a year since I announced that I was going to create a store website... and it's about time that I update anyone who cares.
Here's the thing...
or several things...
- I don't make things enough in abundance or fast enough I can keep a store supplied.
- I don't tend to make the same thing twice (and I don't want to) so everything would be it's own unique listing.
- Creating a website/webstore is a lot of work with some security risks that I'm not willing to take in and not interested in creating one (despite the college degree knowledge to do this).
- Mostly, I just don't want to do it. I have lots of reasons for this but don't feel the need to post them because in the scheme of things, it's just not that important.
- Lastly, I will still continue to create. I'm still happy to take commissions when they come my way. I will still vend at a few select events each year. I'm not disappearing. My creations are still available as they've always been.
Happy Spring Equinox!

The adventures of getting this dragon into this box 8x8x8 box 😆
Meta thought that I needed to celebrate this... I do sincerely thank you all who follows and supports me. I hope this gets you the chuckle that it did me: "over 50 reactions! Whoo!" 🤣
I got over 50 reactions on my posts last week! Thanks everyone for your support! 🎉

PATTERN JUST DROPPED!
Megan Lapp's answer to the little AI Slop dragon that went viral is here, tested, and ready to purchase on her website, Ravelry, and Etsy! It goes together quick, too!
I used "The Floor is Lava" yarn from Tangled Pixie to make mine.

I had to buy pipe cleaners and de-holiday-ify my house so now they are staring at me like "Yo! Get me some eyes!" I don't know how they can stare without eyes but they are managing it. Can you feel the attitude?
