So I am at For the Love of Fantasy today, positively VIBRATING because im about to meet Sir Ian McKellen with my hobbity bois.

But I'm also buzzing because, even though I'm still shakey as all heck, and the amount of walking I've done this weekend has DEFINITELY made it worse, today I got to bring a very special boi to his new owner.

It took me a full EIGHT MONTHS to make, but this PROVES that I can still make my bois!! They just take, a LOT friggen longer.

When he was done, I literally sobbed I was so happy.

So thankyou Mischa Wayward-Winchester, for being so blessedly patient as I worked to get your boi finished, I'm so happy you love him, and I cannot wait for pics of all of his many future adventures.

Our favourite Boi got to meet more friends at Cross Roads in Birmingham last weekend!

I love that I'm getting updates of his adventures still, it is always the highlight of my week!

So how about an update about me and the business I hear you ask?

Well, there is -some- to report.

I have been referred to neuro, who want to take a closer look at my brain and spine to see what is causing the persistent tremors and numbness that is holding me back and fumbling my fingers.

Buuuuut the wait list is over a year long, so, like, that's a ways off.

However, I have started on beta blockers, which HAVE started helping somewhat, and are helping my fingers be less wobbly, though no less numb. That is still progress, so I'm thinking that I'll be able to at least do -some- over the coming months.

So it's all looking positive, if still a little far off.

Thankyou all for bearing with me (PUNS!) I hope to be back on the con circuit soooooon.

Okay, so, this is a really hard post to write, and I've been putting it off for a couple of weeks because I didn't want to admit that it had come to this point.

My motility, or, fine motor movement, has been getting progressively worse over the past four months, which has made continuing with my little bear business extremely difficult.

At the moment, I am unable to pick up, let alone use, a needle or a pin in order to actually hand sew anything, and most of my current making process involves a large amount of hand sewing.

This means that I cannot current make bears.

I have appointments with occupational therapists, physio therapists other specialists to help me recover some of the motility I have lost, and I will keep you updated as best I can on the situation.

But as you can imagine, this means that, for the foreseeable future, I cannot take any more orders, or attend any events.

If you have paid for an order, or have started payments for an order, I will still be upholding that order. I just cannot give you an accurate timeline for completion.

If you would rather recieve a refund, given my current uncertainty, then I am happy to do so, please, just drop me a message.

If you are unsure if this applies to you, please message me, and I will happily talk you through what I am currently able to achieve, and what my plan is moving forward.

I am hopeful that I will be able to regain some of my motility, and will be back showering you all in fluff soon, but there may be some significant changes to the bears I can make, and what I will be able to achieve moving forward.

I'm really sorry that it has come to this, and trust me, I am utterly heartbroken that I currently can't keep creating like I could last year, but I hope you can understand that I haven't come to this decision lightly, and I've tried everything in my power to avoid this outcome.

I hope to see you all again soon, and that this is just temporary.

And thank you, all of you, for the support you have shown me and my beary bois business so far, it has meant the absolute world to me.

I love you all!

Hello fans of fluff!

I had planned on being far more active on here for the New Year but apparently life likes to laugh at my plans, so, quick life update!

If you have been expecting an order from me, and I've not contacted you, please don't panic.

I have been particularly ill for the past couple of weeks, and have been in and out of hospital, having all sorts of tests and scans and unsavoury things done to me.

I'm starting to get a handle on the situation, and whilst I still don't gave answers beyond a fair amount of worried looking shrugging, I'm getting slowly better at living with it, so I should be back in the craft room within the next week, knocking out orders and diving back into my emotional support fluff piles.

Happy New Year I guess 😅

I hope your New Years have all been far less eventful!

I love you all, your support has been phenomenal.

Now have a cute cat photo to appease the Gods.

I hope you're all having a wonderful day, full of turnips and pork pies and merriment!

As we move into 2025, and find ourselves a quarter of the way through the century, I'm going to try and keep my spirits up, and fill my year with fluffy progress. Amd hopefully I'll bringing all of you along for the ride!

Look.

I require it!!!

Some commissions are easier than others.

Some commissions just require a bit of altering of exisisting patterns, and some fabric manipulations.

And then there are SOME commissions, that take literal MONTHS of drafts, false starts, different ideas and attempts until they finally start coming together.

When I tell you that I have a GRAVEYARD of drafts for this commission, I'm underselling it.

But AT LAST, barely 6 days before the last post deadline for Christmas, I've had an actual breakthrough!

I'm excited to see the final product, and I'm more excited that I seem to have finally cracked how to GET to the final product!

Where are my Six fans at??

So today was not the productive sewing filled day that I had originally planned...

However, it was very productive for the dopamine reserves!

Meet Brian 3.0, this year's geeky and wonderfully festive addition to my house.

Also, I met a GIANT bear on our hunt for Brian, and you had to see him.

I hope everyone's days have been wonderful!

15/11/2024

I have tried just sharing this, and it simply isn't working, so have a copy and paste!

If you find yourself free this Sunday, and you are looking for a Christmas gift for that special geeky someone in your life, then it may be worth checking this out!

It's run by the same people who run the main cons I attend!

I am NOT free, so, yanno, send pics!!
