I MADE LOTS OF PROGRESS THIS WEEKEND Ngl, it's almost surreal to slowly have this version of your character standing there and although Sinthia is far from being done I'm already really proud of the way she's coming together.

Getting the embroidery machine was definitely the right decision because as I was hoping it boosted my need to make more plushies immensely!

going to have a haircut at Irl Snips !!!!!

Sometimes you just have one of those moments where the progress we've made as a culture get thrown into stark relief. You look at something and go "Holy shit, that would never have happened when I was a kid."

Today, I had one of those moments when I realized that the teenage boys I'm working with are just. genuinely, openly enthusiastic about going to Build-a-Bear for their outing.

These are sixteen and seventeen year old boys! They just had a whole conversation about what to name their "cute", mostly new squishmallows! They're genuinely excited that they're going to Build-a-Bear this weekend and asking other kids to pick up specific accessories for them!!

Holy shit, that never would've happened when I was 16. None of the boys would have dared to be visibly interested - and neither would most of the girls! There would have been a million gay jokes and "Haha, you're a girl" jokes and "What are you, a baby?" jokes. Teenagers weren't even supposed to care about anything back then!

Less than 15 years later, and I'm watching three 17 year old boys treat all that as not even worthy of comment.

So let's call that a reason for hope. Even when the kids aren't alright, in some ways apparently they are alright. Go Gen Z, honestly. It's so lovely to watch you guys just openly doing and saying stuff that, when I was a teen, would've been a social death sentence.

Fashion wip

(got the outfit from @/larzuen 's Wally plushie!)

he looks so silly ...

The thing is, this sight just does not stop being funny

I've stitched all the panels of bdubs' torso together now! and added stuffing around the dog toy squeaker inside, so he's really starting take form of a solid creature.

sort of got that caterpillar drip

and a squeak for good measure!

(next up, the arms)

a little kitty plushie update!! wanted to share some of the behind the scenes sample pictures for luna, aurora and matcha!

sample pictures always look rough bc they don't have perfect lighting and I usually spend some time brushing their fur so it looks nice for the pictures I take so asdlkjgs I promise they'll look better in their official pictures but I love how these turned out!! the siamese patterning for luna, the snowshoe patterning for aurora, and the grey tabby patterning for matcha are all so good and I'm excited to get them and take some better photos of them!! the campaign is still a good three-four weeks away at the least but we're getting closer to ready!! :D

> Karkat: become marketable plushie (WIP)

My math's teacher basically told me to fend for myself when I finally dared explain I have dyscalculia. I'm sad and tired. Imma leave this one like this, sorry if it's too messy.

Got back my mojo for working on the Shockwave plush, so I bring thee another collection of progress photos! Stay tuned for the final product :)

His Punisher attaches by magnet!! And with that, he’s all finished…

Tomorrow I’m going to go take nice pics at the beach before it rains for 3 days straight 💀☔️

Sorry for posting so many wips!!!!
