2023 General Update (Hoodie and Kigu Commission Info)
2 years ago
Hi folks!
It’s almost summer and you know what that usually means!
… Only, this year it doesn’t.
It has been an incredibly busy year for me, with a move across the province, prepping for and working 6 conventions (4 in the midst of moving chaos), and taking on 16 hoodie and kigu commissions, on top of regular shop orders and designing new things. Add on mental health struggles, burnout, household management, catching covid twice, 2 family emergencies, adopting a puppy disguised as a kitten, and I am exhausted.
Something has had to give, and unfortunately, custom hoodies and kigus are it; I’m taking a break from custom hoodie and kigurumi commissions this summer.
I’m tentatively hoping to take on a limited number of custom commissions this Fall, but I don’t have a date set, and if I’m still feeling too squeezed for time I’ll likely hold off on reopening. It’s been a tough decision to make, but I want to continue making stuff to the best of my abilities, and my best is better when I’m not a smoking husk ;3
Thanks again for all of your continued support!
Oh! And if you’re planning to attend Fur-Eh! this summer, feel free to swing by and say hi! I’m thrilled to announce (late here, haha) that I’m their Guest of Honor this year!!!
