Feliz Dia de los Muertos! (also big life update)

Hola, mis amigos. I hope this finds you well! I love the three day Halloween/Dia de los Angelitos/Dia de los Muertos celebrations. One year I'd like to set up an ofrenda downtown for the festival. I missed it this year due to working all day and being sick. Might have caught something at the Halloween party?
Commissions and art have been very slow. Not to be all "life problems, weh!" But seriously, the past few months (year, really?) have been so rough. We (my roommates, gf, and I) have been having multiple apartment-related issues, including pest problems, broken washer, room switches, health issues, amongst many others. We've unfortunately also had some family and pet losses this past month. My sewing machine is acting up. After I bag up all my possessions in my room and have it treated I can get back into the swing of fursuits. I feel like every time I sit down to work something happens. I've felt like this since the spring. The silver lining is I've been transitioning into my new job well (not the pottery studio, but another one!) where I actually get to work with animals (a local shelter) and volunteers! I'm very excited for this opportunity to have a job within my field and to gain experience. I still will be glazing when I can, and will juggle the two jobs.
After I finish these commissions (aiming for this month. I'm very determined) I will be closing and only opening for trades. I have a few personal projects that have been on the back burner for years, including my lemur and a Rocket Raccoon cosplay. I really want to experiment in different costume construction, and next year would like to attempt a centaur maybe??
So thank you all so much for your support and patience. I only want to make quality art and I've learned sometimes it takes longer than I would like. The furry community has been a great source of strength for me and continues to harbor some of my favorite people in the world. Muah! <3
