Hey everyone! We just wanted to take a quick moment to say a huge thank you to everyone who came out to see us at the Arts in the Park event in Columbia this weekend. It was such a fun time, and we honestly couldn't have asked for more beautiful weather to spend outside with the community.

We also want to extend a big thank you to the City of Columbia, IL - Government and the Monroe County Arts Alliance for putting everything together and hosting such a fantastic event.

We love getting to chat with you all and truly appreciate the support for our little family business. See you at the next one!

Living life on the absolute edge. 😅

Take a close look at the left border of this door hanger. That is what we in the maker world call an "unplanned extreme sport." I gave the laser cutter a job to do, and it took the instructions *very* literally.

A millimeter to the left, and we would have been venting smoke into an empty void. Instead, we got a perfectly cut edge with zero room for error. Measure twice, cut once, and hold your breath for the entire run.

Who needs adrenaline when you have laser calibration?

We're assembling some mystery dumpling clickers. Here's a sneak peak of some of the colors you could get in your bamboo steamers. Pick yours up on our website. Shipping and local pickup available!

Now live on the website: Mystery Dumpling Clickers!

If you or your kids love the popular squishy dumpling fidgets, you are going to love this mechanical twist. Instead of squishing, these dumplings feature an incredibly crisp, tactile button that gives you a satisfying click every single time you press it.

Each one comes hidden inside its own 3D-printed steamer basket, so the color you get is a complete surprise until you open it up.

We print everything right here in Waterloo, Illinois. From the basket to the dumpling itself, every piece is made locally by us. And because doing things the right way matters, we maintain official commercial licenses with every designer we work with. When you buy from our shop, a portion of that goes directly back to supporting the independent digital artists who engineered the designs.

We have plenty of stock ready to ship straight to your door, or you can choose one of our local pickup options at checkout to skip the shipping fees.
Head over to the site to grab yours, or send us a message if you want to coordinate a local pickup!
