It's time for a huge update!
As I mentioned in the previous update, my tooth was taken out. It took a while before I was recovered and on top of that I became very ill. I think everything together just destroyed my resistance. It started with a very bad cough (like really bad, I slept so bad) and I was still working really hard on prototyping at the time. I just wanted to make that deadline! But after 2 weeks I just couldn’t keep going, my health got worse, got a huge fever, still coughing allot, headaches and all I could do was sleep. When I finally thought I felt a bit better I got a sinusitis...again. And it just didn’t get any better, so after a month of being sick I went to the doctors and got antibiotics for the sinusitis. I started to get really stressed out because my work was on a stop again, while I was already very behind on schedule. So everything together was just not doing me very well. The antibiotics sadly didn't work at all and I wanted to return to my doctor, but again they where not available (vacation again...sigh) so I just endured a little longer.
About a week ago the sinusitis was finally doing a bit better, after a month causing me pain. But I still have to deal with allot of fatigue, snot/slime and headaches. But at least it’s not as bad as it was before. The virus is gone I think, all that is left is to recover. My kids also have been sick again, so they needed my care as well. I’ve been very stressed and not just because of work getting delayed, but also because I’ve been constantly sick since November last year and just haven't been able to get a proper break from it. I keep telling myself to stay positive, but it’s hard. And with everything going on I haven't been able to get a proper income, so financially it has also been hard. But I will manage somehow and will try to focus on positive things and work whenever I can. I have been able to work a little bit in the last few weeks. Not as much as I am used to, but it’s something at least! So hopefully you all still have some patience with me and soon I will be able to showcase so many awesome projects with you all ♥
Lets talk about the octo girl hat. Oh boyyyy...after 30+ hours prototyping I finally figured out the pattern of this new fleece hat. It looks really good, but I am not even done yet O_O. I have taken a break from it at the moment, since I had become very sick for quit a long time (read health update). If you are curious about the progress and a sneak peak, please consider supporting me on ko-fi. I post early look into projects and exclusive content for members only. The support means a ton to me! ♥
In the past 2 weeks I have been able to work a littl bit and started to finishing a few inkling hats. It felt really good to check off some things from my queue after such a long time. I post work in progress pictures of these on my ko-fi as well. I just need to finish this yellow inkling braid that is halfway done and start a custom braided one. Then I will continue prototyping the octoling girl and hopefully it won’t take too long for me to finish her. After that I am taking a little break from the hats and pick them up once I at least made a good start with the onesie for Kaida.
I also started working on the concept designs and hope to finish them soon. Things just has been slow, because I usually only can draw in the evening and I am so tired lateley due to illness. I want to thank you all for your huge patience with me, I really apreciate it!
Spring has official begun! I am preparing for the spring package and hopefully I will be able to ship it in May. I am in the progress of making a personal traditional art gift and I will make a small sewn item I have been inspired to make as well. I will keep it a secret/surprise for now, but once it's been shipped to their owner I will share what's inside ^__^ Excited! Even if it's just the one member :O Thank you so much for supporting me for the long run Exobass! And thank you! Sponst for joining as well! ♥ I hope more members will pop up so I can make more people happy with my content. I love making new things, I have allot of inspiration and ideas (just to little time). Time that can be created when I receive enough support ♥
I have rainbow pillowcases (almost) ready to ship, check them out of my ko-fi: https://ko-fi.com/i/IC0C7JO26Q
Since my last update my Etsy shop has been closed, so I havent had any income from there. I have now decided to open it for limited orders. I will close shop again once I have reached the limit. My ko-fi shop stays open.
