Midwesterner here- I have never heard of Johnny Cupcakes. Will def be looking him up though. I love all the new prints you’re making! I’m not huge into all the references but they look awesome!
He seems like a genuinely good dude - excited to see if we can get into creative mischief together 😂 And thank you!!! I should actually explain what each thing is, since not everything is a cryptid - and some of those are ones nobody seems to know - which is honestly fun to go into lore-teaching mode! 😁
I'm so sorry jo but you mentioning the sunny fox Collab is I l l e g a l. Astin and I are on our way to kick your ass 💪🚗💨 (so glad the events went well!! The new bags are so good!!)
Thank you!!! Definitely a good view count (for me at least, I don't usually get much past 100) I posted it on my personal FB for once (I rarely do anything on it) and I think that helped!
Once again you are making me feel like we are the same person 😂 that deep teal/emerald color is also my favorite color too. However, you would have definitely cringed at me back in the day - I have always worn band shirts at the concerts for the bands I would see. Even sometimes putting on the shirts I would buy at the concert lmao. Oh! And with Ghostbusters - have you seen the first reboot that came out a few years ago with Paul Rudd? It's so good! I'm guessing that's your crush? Hehe Also, I agree with everyone else. Your table setup looks so good with the new signage. And did I also peep my pins in the beginning? 👀👀 And I don't know if you have mentioned them before, but I LOVE those dog and crossbones earrings omg. I need a pair. And that's so exciting about Johnny Cupcakes! 😃💖 I hope things work out!
Paul Rudd is definitely one of my crushes - how could I not? haha And I really dislike how much I cared about people doing that, and what a buckwild thing to have as a pet peeve. I for sure didn't need to be eye-rolling at band shirts, especially because I'd wear DIY versions I made myself (usually to have the band sign) but like....why was that okay to me but not the ones that financially supported the band I was seeing? lol You sure did see your pins! I ran up to my artist friends there and was like "WAIT FOR IT" and moved the cow XD okay also thank you for saying that about the dog skull and crossbones, 'cause I feel like nobody actually likes them (I've never sold a pair) but I'm so proud of that design!
Any ideas what you could envision a new logo including? I need to be better about watching your videos! It's *almost* like catching up (and hell if it helps you, that's more reason)
To add another comment to your algorithm, it does irk me a little when vendors talk about just covering their event fees for the day. Even if I only cover my entry fee, gas, parking, etc then that means I am literally giving away everything for free. Even if I make just a little more, and say cover the materials of said gifts, then that means I still did all that work for free. That isn't so bad if you're a hobbyist but I need to pay my mortgage. I find most everyone does this and it is a pet peeve.
If I only did pop ups, I don't think I could sustain this line of work for very long with how this year is going. I made one (1) $6 sale yesterday. It was a last minute market so I didn't have a table fee, but parking was $4 (cheaper than usual) and 30 mins of gas each way. At least the item I essentially gave away was a mystery bag which I've already called a loss on the items inside 🥴
I LOVE the cryptid line! Murder Otters are SO FREAKING CUTE! lol. I also love how much the galaxy background makes all the signage REALLY pop.
🥰🥰🥰 thank you my lovely friend!! 🖤
I LOVE seeing all the colors lined up like that. Makes my creative brain so happy! 😍 The galaxy signage is so nice too!
❤️❤️❤️❤️ you're the bestest, thank you 🥰
Love the new fabrics! And the cryptid lineup!! So awesome :)
Thanks buddy!!! 🥰 I have begun formally collecting my lil' weirdos in full 😂
I love the voidfish fabric!
😁 I'm glad someone knew the reference I was, making! 🪼
Excellent fabric choices!
Hey thanks!! 😁

Oh no I've committed a friend crime 😭 I didn't know what level of "Keep It Secret, Keep It Safe" we were at. Threat Level Gandalf is in effect 😂
First 🎉
Thank you for this comment, because it let me know my video went up earlier than I thought it was scheduled for LOL!
The view count for 2 days doesn't seem too bad. (sprinkles fairy dust) Wishing you sky rocketing views!

What's that you're watching in the background?
I believe it's a convention vlog from Lion Around Sewing in the background when I'm making my signs!
Any ideas what you could envision a new logo including?

❤️❤️❤️ thanks Nicki! I was trying to think how to describe my new logo idea but then saw your insta comment 😂 miss you!!

I'm trying to be more discerning about what events I do, but it's so hard to say no when offered the ~opportunity~ 🫠
