I'm really bad about updating the page, sorry about that! I've been trying to update the Ko-Fi blog (all free to read, no subscription) and my Bluesky now and then, so if you haven't checked those out, feel free :) Ko-Fi: bit.ly/CVKofi and Bluesky: bit.ly/CVbsky

I've added a lot more battletech stuff to my Etsy shop, and some dice and sewing supplies. I've also added other themed dice bags like Lorcana, MtG, and Halloween. I'm working on some other designs for SWU, Pokemon, Battledome TCG, and Riftbound, as well as other themes that have nothing to do with games :)

Finished a batch of Battletech dice bags for Nowhere's Store of Forgotten Lore and delivered them this weekend. Great shop if you're ever in the area!

Just recently found out about the Share & Save link program for etsy to reduce seller fees for your shop. Then it occurred to me if I'm sharing someone -else's- shop, i should use their Share & Save link (storename .etsy .com) and any traffic that comes from me will then save them a few percent in fees as well.

I kept seeing online that it does you no good to use someone else's share & save link, but if you're trying to help them by promoting their shop, then it will absolutely help them. So I've updated all my website referral links to the share & save links for everyone's shops to hopefully help out a little :)

learned you can generate your own QR codes for things, even if the service you want a code for would otherwise charge you for it, lol

If any of you crafty people have been pondering the PixCut S1 from Liene (it was a kickstarter earlier this year but i didn't back it at the time) there's currently a bonus kit free with it, and a 20% off coupon if you order before the end of the year.

Coupon code is STATIONERYOUS20DIS (saves almost 60 bucks)
free kit is 72 sheets of sticker paper and 2 ink cartridges ($43 normally)

Machine comes with 36 sheets and an ink cartridge already
Total is $239.20. free shipping. didn't have tax on mine.

Not sponsored or anything, just had it pop up in my email today and remembered i was interested in it back when they did the kickstarter, so wanted to share.

So I posted my battletech / robotech / mechwarrior bags up on Etsy a little over a week ago and managed to get out all my orders in time for USPS Christmas Delivery! Very happy about that :)

To anyone purchasing trading cards on ebay, DO NOT purchase from anyone who is an auto parts seller in china (you can check their location by clicking on their seller name on the listing, then viewing their products, all will be "ships from china")

Yes, i naively believed their 100% feedback rating and did just that. Yes, it was indeed a scam.
Yes, there are even more than the one i bought from who are pulling the exact same scam with MtG, Pokemon, Yugioh, etc.
No, ebay will not let me report the ones I didn't purchase from, even though it's a pretty obvious setup at this point.

Friendly reminder for anyone who uses AA and/or AAA batteries on a regular basis, the Ostation battery charging station is a user-friendly solution to having rechargeable batteries ready to go 24/7. Seriously can't wait to stop buying bulk packs of batteries every couple months and having to throw away old ones. Really not fond of the idea of batteries in a landfill.

Just sharing in case anyone still wants to check it out. 15 days down, 30 to go :)

I just found the coolest browser add-on. Tabs for a Cause, which just adds right onto your chrome browser and you earn Hearts every time you open a new tab, and you can donate those hearts to a charity/cause of your choice whenever you have any collected. I haven't seen charity support this simple since WeTopia.

And yes, I'm one of those people who has at least 20 tabs open at any given time, so I should be zooming right along~

Raise money for charity with every browser tab you open, for free.

Finally got better thread and figured out the thread tension issues I'd been having. Experimented with a few design techniques, and I'm super excited now that I've got the process down :)
