We're really excited to continue sharing with others everything our patrons have made possible for us. (also someone said something about "work/life balance" and I guess they weren't entirely wrong). We're looking to add to our traveling/event team! (Crafting team expansion is in the very near future).

If you'd like to be part of the experience that is our booth, please fill out the form, or send us a DM, and we'll be in touch to see if we'd be a good fit!

We'll be there!! :)

We may not always get to make things for ourselves any more but one to two weeks before DragonCon is always reserved in our book for making our own costumes (also speed finishing any that we promised for DC). This year, one of the ones we finally got to do was our Mario and Toads trio and we had an absolute blast. (It was also great seeing Matthew on a panel in disguise as Mario.)

Maybe we’ll start making these for inventory so more people can join in. 😂

We had such a wonderful weekend at being guests and hosting workshops and panels. Thank you to everyone that joined us!...

Catching up on all the commissions while also trying to make inventory for upcoming cons has kept us pretty busy (and forgetting to post) so here’s a little collection of recent commissions we’ve completed! ☺️

It’s happeningggg!! Our first con after faire season! Come see us at this weekend —we’ll have a booth near the cosplay stage and will be running workshops!

(Also bringing you your very own chance to have some out-of-state ren faire dust with any purchase 😌. I swear it has the qualities of glitter- there’s no way to get rid of all of it no matter what you do).
