Hello dear Internet Stranger who may or may not have an artsy side hustle, business, Etsy shop, Redbubble page, etc. You’ve been there, you receive a message from a fan on Etsy or a DM on Instagram. “I love your work and would love to buy it. I have a couple of questions” Your customer service rep takes over and responds to the inquiries. They want to know if you offer fast shipping or if you can tweak something. You reply with however you do things. Then radio silence. Weeks turn into months. At this point, you know what’s up. The dreaded flaky prospect. I’ve had a ton of these…

Black Becky with the good 4C hair— crochet doll edition
Clearly my attempt at making a eye catching title could use work. Anywho… This was a commission by a colleague for her daughter. The hair was my favorite part so far.

It’s not new, but my blog is kind of new. So work dated as far back as 2014 may pop up. So in October of 2015, a local comic book store was holding a Halloween costume contest. I decided to enter and make my costume. Conveniently in the same month. Because waiting until the last minute is the best way to execute plans(not). Anyway, I had just gotten obsessed with Rosalina…

Yuri on Ice Amigurumi Art Dolls
A request from my cousin. I watched a few episodes of this anime and dropped it. It wasn’t my cup of tea. I’m not too big into sports anime. I watched it purely to learn a bit about the characters she requested. [huge_it_slider id=”1″] While these dolls are reserved, if you or someone you know is interested in owning a custom anime character crocheted doll, I can make them. They cost $50 + S&H.

Her name is Aoko. She’s not from any specific show or anything. She was inspired by eating hot cheetos. Not really. Just something spicy. She’s available for sale here on my website as well as on Etsy. Though be advised that on Etsy she has a shipping cost of $13 added into the listing price. If you buy directly here you can get calculated shipping or even actual free shipping(where I the maker pays the shipping, not you the buyer) if you join my mailing list and add the coupon code at checkout.
