Tressie's Treasures

06/10/2026

I first want to apologize for my absence. On April 30th my husband passed away from Stage 4 esophogeal cancer after battling it since 2024. I am trying to learn how to navigate life without him which has been hard. I am slowly finding my new normal but it has been very hard to find a routine that does not involve him, such as picking up my old hobbies, as he was my biggest hype man and supporter of all the things I enjoyed. It is painfully difficult to go back to things I shared with him, so please be kind and have patience with me as I adjust to a life that is deeply emptier without him in it.

I just realized I forgot to post my available plushies a few weeks ago. I promise to post them this weekend things have been...tough here at home but I would love to see the plushies find homes instead of being tucked away in a bin.

Hey all!! I have some plushies left over from last year's toy expo. I am hoping to post them this weekend for sale. Please note that at this time I cannot deliver, but if you want a plush and are local in PG and cannot pick up at all, I will see if I can get a friend to deliver for me. If you can pickup that would be ideal. And if your not local I can ship (currently only shipping Canada wide due to terrifs), but it might take a week for me to get to a post office, and I do have to charge shipping.

Due to life being so hectic since October I will not be able vendor at the Northern BC Toy Expo this year. But I hope you still pop in and check it out. I will be hopefully volunteering however. Once I have a post to share with dates I will share them with you all. This event has always been a great turnout, and all the different vendors make it totally worth stopping in.

Hey all, I am still around. My husband has been having some health issues associated with his Cancer so I have not been up for sewing. He is recovering well but things are still chaotic. I hope to return to it soon and I apologize for all my long hiatus moments but life has been pretty hectic since November. Thank you to all the new follows and views, I hope you stick around for my future creations.

90% of my sewing patterns come from one creator on Etsy, her patterns are professional, easy to follow, and end with absolutely stunning plushies.

Good Evening. Things at home are finally settling down, my husband's health is on the upward climb, which has alleviated a lot of the stress in my household and within my family, and he will just continue to get better.

I am hoping to start back at sewing come January. I will be reaching out to anyone who is waiting on a plush to see if you are still interested, and we can discuss what I am/am not able to do at this time. I will also be making some changes to my page and my pricing. If you have already been given a quote for a plush, you will not be affected by any price changes.

I will also be pinning a post that will link you to the Etsy shop where I order 90% of my patterns from (and I will include a link to her free patterns too), this way you will know what I have quick access to. If you need a pattern outside of what Choly Knight offers, then I will see what I can find, but I cannot make any guarantees.

Thank you so much for your patience during this hiatus, and I am looking forward to the New Year and continuing to do what I love.

Good morning! I am currently working on some plushies that I am donating to a local corvid/bird rescue (Good Caws Crow Rescue) ran by my husbands cousin. She runs a fundraiser on/around Halloween every year and I usually make a couple plushies to donate that she uses for her silent auction. I will be working on these for the next week or two, and then I will be reaching out to people regarding their orders to get started on them, please remember I do this in my spare time and that is why it takes so long sometimes to complete, and I will alway prioratize orders that have a need by date so that you have it by the necessary date. ♥️

Here is a link (hopefully it works) to her Spooky Swaray event.

So this one took me longer than any commission (due to sewing burn out from the toy expo, and needing to track down fabric) but I love the final result and so did it's new owner. This was a custom order for one of my wonderful followers as a prize for the draw from my last live stream here on FB. As much as I love custom orders sometimes they are difficult due to a variety of things such as, skill limitations, available materials, and patterns I can get.

I use one pattern creator for 95% of my creations because her patterns are easy for this dislexic and visual learner to follow. The instructuons are clear and clean without a lot of confusing terms, they have clear step by step images, which allows me to make so many wonderful plushies just like this one.

I am working on orders slowly. However also have a handful of plushies left over from the Toy Expo, tonight after work I will post a list of what I have on hand and what the cost is for each.

It will take me a few weeks to catch up on orders and I thank you all for your patience and understanding.
