Summer Blues
7 years ago
Alright so high time for an update post!
Wedding is creeping closer and sapping all the money I have, it's scary but I know when the day comes it'll all be worth it!
Summer has always been a slow time for the fursuit business, and it's a real bummer when I need premade stuff sold and have put a halt on custom orders that are too time consuming so I can focus on the wedding. But, we'll be ok. I have prepared for it a bit better then I did last year. It's the one thing I hate about the business though, preparing and saving for the slow times. I just want and need consistency, I guess.
I am proud of the fact that despite the tightness of my budget I will NOT be posting any emergency slots, and I've just reposted my Etsy listings early at my new prices. I think emergency commissions are shady and unprofessional, and I'd honestly never do them. It's taking advantage of a situation instead of dealing with it yourself and I find it to be very dishonest. Props to people who do it and don't see a problem with it, but I do, personally.
If you're curious as to what premade stuff I have, I am still trying to sell my premade snow leopard suit, I can cast from my base uncut for $100, and other goodies I can do are up on my Etsy.

I'll be starting to offer new stuff very soon like fursuit collars, kitten style ears, fursuit sneakers/sandals, and more accesory/merch stuff to appeal to those on a budget more. So super psyched for that!
Also currently working on my very first fursuit sized beanie hat! Crocheting is so soothing and I can't wait to finish it and show the results and possibly offer them for sale too!
Soooo that's the update for now, fun small stuff on the horizon, I'm excited for everything that's yet to come this summer like starting my new job, and being free to actually pursue some projects I never had time to before. It's gonna be a nice little vacation month for me.
And then next month...THE WEDDING! DUN DUN DUUUUUUUN

Alternatively, the school vacation weeks we have (Late February and April) are nuts for us - and yes, ANE was right in the middle of the February one, but I had requested it off before the Christmas season.
