June/July - New Octoling Girl, Etsy Opening & Health Upda...
2 years ago
Donations/Support on my Ko-Fi / Shop Atelier Sweetsushi / Site 🐘 www.sweetsushi.nl ✉ commission[at]sweetsushi.nl
A health update can be read at the end of this blog for those that are interested to read.
After finishing the ko-fi items for my package in June I started working on the Inkling Hats again. I was able to check off some items including a custom inkling hat where the customer asked for a different color I usually work with and with a cute bow hairpiece added (results in my ko-fi gallery).
After that I went back to prototyping the Octoling Girl Hat again. The one with the swirls and woww that one was a huuuuge challenge. This one kinda took a toll from me and in the end it took me 50 hours of prototyping before I could actually start the real piece O_O. By the end of July I finally had a proper example and this one would be send to the customer immediately since they needed it for their cosplay. I worked very hard to make their cosplay and I was very happy that I was able to make it on time. They received it and where very happy with the hat (photo of the cosplay couple in my ko-fi update, thank you so much for sharing this with me!) ♥
I will soon pick up another octoling hat, a magenta colored one that have been waiting very patiently too ^__^ I am excited to share all these new hats with you all!
I have been preparing a bit for making a you-tube video featuring my ko-fi spring package and other things. But then all kind of things came in between so I haven't gotten the chance yet to actually record the video, but I will be able to do that soon. It's hard to schedule recording the video with 2 little kids at home. But summer vacation will be over soon, so hopefully that will make a difference for my productive hours.
I will talk a bit about myself and talk about and showcase the projects I have been making recently. After that I will finally send the items to their new owners and hopefully have a video I can share with you all that can tell who I am, what I make and how you can support me so I will be able to continue making cute things. I hope to being able to focus a bit more on ko-fi items and make more unique projects in the future.
After a looooong time having my shop closed I have decided to open shop again on Friday September 1. I will then accept Halloween orders and it will be very limited! I don’t have much room to schedule too many hats, especially with the long shipping time. It will also be the last time for me to receive some income before closing again for the rest of this year. After Halloween I am going to focus on my family (both my children have their birthdays) and finishing Onesies! YES FINALLY!
Btw it’s best to order on my ko-fi, since Etsy takes alllooot of fee. So if you like to support me the best way you can, please buy on my ko-fi ^_^ I would really appreciate that ♥

Aside of covering the month August and our little family vacation. I like to talk about my other projects like onesies next time. Due to chronic illness and the unexpected difficulty of the octoling wig I have been delayed by ALLOT. We are not just talking days or weeks even, but multiple months. So this means most of the onesies I was planning to make this year will be moved to next year. I feel extremely guilty about the situation, but I also feel kinda stuck. I already kept my shop closed most of the times, but I also need “some” income. Soyeah I have not been doing well, but I feel a huge responsebility and I will not give up and keep working hard to deliver cute items to you all. When you are waiting for your onesie and are (not) reading this, don’t worry I will also email you personally soon ♥
A bit of a long update, I tried to keep it short >_<
Luckily my dentist could see that where my tooth has been taken out has been recovered very well. He then advised me to go back to the ENT specialist. We then scheduled for another CT scan to see how it looks compared the the last time. Early August I had the results and it pretty much looked pretty well especially compared to the last scan. He said, take it easy, it needs time to heal. It’s propably due to chronic stress I still endure pain on that side of my face, after having a chronic sinusits short after my tooth was taken out. On top of that I bumped my shoulder, exactly on the side where I had a bursitis in the past so I had to deal with that too. And now that both my yoga instructor and physiotherapist are gone (she has moved recently and she was my therapist for years *cries*) I kinda feel lost.
Conclusion, I currently still suffer face ache, but not as bad as what it used to be (it's mostly bad under much pressure, hard sounds etc) and I suffer pain in my shoulder and lower back. Both keeps me from working properly, but I still try. BUT I also think I am currently suffer from too much stress, so I have been thinking allot about what to do about this issue I continue to battle. I don't want to continuously complain about my health issues and just enjoy making all the awesome things. So hopefully this will be the last time I have the need to talk about this. I hope by being transparent and talking about it will be helpfull.
