hey gang! I've been thinking about building up my shop inventory again, and aside from new crochet patterns coming out (handpaws pattern coming soon btw!) would y'all be interested in other premade stuff?
clicky in the poll or comment if you have other ideas :3
(also shameless plug shameless plug there is still old premade stuff up on my ko-fi)

just working on some normal things

this one is going to be a bit sturdier on account of not being made out of 90% paper towel lolol and I'll try and find a better way to mount it to the wall than the last one

prototyping something~

I've been meaning to try and crochet some handpaws for forever now and I'm finally getting around to it!! rlly enjoying that base, I did write the pattern down so I might tweak it some and release it at a later date so that people can make their own!

because I thought
it might be cool
to attach some Yarn Fur to it

that fun idea has so far cost me seven consecutive hours of attaching fur to One paw and it's not even remotely done

but! it looks dope and I want to see it through. the plan is to fill in the rest of the paw and trim it! I was gonna brush the fur out as well but I think the yarn look has grown on me a little too much to change it!

what do we think about this! would you buy something like that? would you buy a pattern for like 5ish dollars to make your own? let me know!

raffle is live!

here it is! hope you guys like how it turned out! I'll be leaving it open for a full week, tbh mostly because I'm gonna be working a lot more than I expected at my dayjob and don't want to overwhelm myself. I had a lot of fun making it!

also make sure to check out the comments on this for a not-so-secret 3.5 poll :^)

Choose Your Own Adventure Raffle!

Posted 2 months, 11 days ago by Xikeb

what are we making?

0 Votes hat
9 Votes keychain
2 Votes other small accessory
1 Votes wall tapestry
8 Votes plush

hello gang! I have done this once before but for anyone who needs a reminder of how this works or anyone just joining in, here's how it goes:
I am going to hold a series of polls, each lasting roughly 24 hours, to determine what I'm going to be crocheting for this raffle! we'll start with broad categories and narrow it down all the way to colors and other such fun things.
when all the polls are done and the final result is finished, I'll be holding a raffle proper for whatever it is we all end up making together!
you will get extra entries for the final raffle for voting in the polls and spreading the word via your own bulletins but that is optional)

shipping will be free but across the U.S. only this time, sorry in advance to you international gamers -_-

with all of that out of the way, let's see what kind of thing we're making!

commissions are open!

Posted 2 months, 14 days ago by Xikeb

you can find the listing over here :3

tweaked a few things and added a shiny new TOS but everything else is just about the same! I'm ready to get back into it. I will only be taking them one at a time like I said before, mostly to pace myself and prevent burnout, but I can def have a waitlist or somesuch if there's enough interest!

I rlly do want to be a lot more active on here,, hopefully that happens lolol

winding up to start comms again :3

Posted 2 months, 19 days ago by Xikeb

Ping Me For Comms Please!

6 Votes *click click*

I know I say this every time I resurface but Damn I wanna be more active on here

as the title says I am preparing to refresh my commissions listing and get back on it! I am delighted to say that I have fully cleared my queue (thank you all so much for your patience) and I'll be doing some much needed restructuring and slapping a new coat of paint on everything and we'll be rolling again. do click the clicky in the poll if you wanna be pinged when I officially start commissions again! I will be doing these one at a time to pace myself so it will most likely be a waitlist system if multiple ppl are interested at the same time.
I also want to get back into posting actual oc stuff and doing raffles and overall being active! istg having a fulltime job took any and all ability to be present on the internet out of me but I did go down to 4 days a week instead of 5 after much Soft Arguing with my manager so we'll see.
