Coo coo ka-choo, how do you do?
Happy (Early) Thanksgiving everyone! It's my favorite holiday of the year. The unreasonably large turkey has been taking up tons of space in my family's fridge for a while now, I can't wait to enjoy! What's your favorite side? Mine is stuffing, but in the bread made in a pot sort of way. The best thing to do is mix macaroni and cheese with the stuffing, so it soaks up the cheese, and add a bite of turkey on top. It's so good!
Last week, I talked about falling prey to the 11.11 deals on AliExpress. Guess what's coming up on Friday? An empty(ier) wallet! I should've looked around a lot harder when everything was on sale because there are these super cute heart shaped bubble wrap bags! Oh my gosh, it fits so perfectly with my brand! I found a treasure trove of teal heart shaped stuff just a couple days too late! So now, instead of having the perfect packaging supplies, I have some experimental (but necessary) eyes. It's tough to find eyes that are big and cute enough for the Lil' Mushroom Buddy Plush (Name in Progress).
I've been working on a couple sets of Galaxy Maker Gloves, specifically in Outflow (Nova). When I was making names for Mandala Sparkle yarns, specifically naming them after astral bodies, I found it super ironic a bunch of the colors are space-themed. I only started looking at color names after I started this shop, so it's like opening up a whole new world of finding out what titles they can come up with... and what goofy knock-offs I can think of. I'm thinking of other accessories I could make to match with as I make the gloves. I currently have hat and cowl sets, but nothing is slated to be a Mandala Sequins yarn. I found a similar looking legwarmer pattern, but do people actually wear legwarmers? I know they're popular among the alt crowd (I own furry ones myself), but is that a niche audience?
Ah, well. I've been rambling, let me head out cause I got cooking to do. If you celebrate Thanksgiving, hope you have a nice holiday. If not, uh, enjoy the parades anyway!
