Whew! Been busy on the home front, friend-o's!

Popping in quick to say I'M ALIVE! And that I've got sooo many things to share over the next month!

For now, have my cat being an absolute goblin. 😂🤌💜

Picture of my short-haired black cat crouched awkwardly on a couch cushion. He is looking over his shoulder towards the camera, and has been caught mid-lick so he has an absolutely atrocious derp face happening. 😂 It's definitely one of those accidentally perfect camera moments.

Whew!! Been busy AF the last few weeks! Not much physical art to share right now because I've been cranking on logos & web design for my author side. 😁

I'll be back to it soon with some sewing & a cabinet revamp.

Stay cool out there, friend-o's! It's a hot one!

Today I learned "Continental Style" knitting! It... DIDN'T SUCK. 👀

Knitting and I have never gotten along; I tend to strangle my needles until it's so tight I have to cut the stitches off and start over. 😂

This was nice! Very similar in feel to crochet, which is my friend.

💫ITEM RETRIEVED; SIDE QUEST COMPLETE! 💫

And it only took 2 tries to find a key that fit the doors. 😂

No shelves inside & it's *very* dirty on the outside. First thing will be scrubbing it down with wood soap & scraping the melted wax off the top(?!?!).

#HauntedCabinet #CursedObjects #MakersLife
Photo of a smallish brass key sticking out of the keyhole in a set of glass-paned doors on the haunted cabinet. Photo of the haunted cabinet with doors now wide open, showing the empty interior, after finding a key to fit the lock. Gotta love Victorian locks that all used the same style keys!

Several alien creatures with leggies like Marvin the Martian from Looney Tunes all stand in a row, observing the viewer. Some seem to have a normal amount of eyes, others have only one, or far too many. Our little friends come in a range of colors (dark pink, burgundy, shimmery light turquoise blue, vine green, white with orange highlights, or light purple), and styles (fluffy or pumpkin-headed). They are all adorable and ready for adoption!

I am so overwhelmed and happy at the excited response to this! It is all done with physical puppets (with some light and very obvious compositing in Premiere) and shot on my studio floor with my phone.

Okay.

Restocked some things, added new Pride things. Heavy on the gay right now because the shop closes on the 9th so I can go drink fruity drinks by a pool for a week and we want to ship before them so you have it for June. More coming this week, too.

Tonight, Shelly Skelly is rocking this one-of-a-kind Dunkin Donuts capelet, designed & stitched by the eponymous Hexxxy Lady herself, our very own: Crueller de Filling!

Watch out for the swish as Shelly Skelly makes her way up the red carpet! 😉

A sewing mannequin holds a capelet made of pink & orange satin with a large pink leopard print faux fur collar. A large black & white striped bow 'tie' sits at the neck, above which a spiky skull face sticks out of the neck of the mannequin. This is the face of Shelly Skelly, the anthropomorphic, undead model herself!

A black cat sitting primly atop an in-progress pile of an orange satin sewing project. The pile is right next to the sewing machine, clearly in use, except that right now there's a very self-satisfied cat on it. A burnt loaf of a goobus cat laying atop a large, folded piece of bright orange material, which is clearly mid-pattern-cutting. The mischief loaf has been caught mid-meow, so his face is partly scrunched and his mouth open just a tiny bit, giving him a ridiculously silly expression. A short-haired black cat sits within a large pile of pink leopard-print fabric. The is draped over his back half where it was tossed over him, and he is looking over his shoulder in consternation at this sudden development. His pose indicates that the thought running through his head might be akin to: "WTF, Möther?!", or maybe, "My Ass!". 🤣 Close-up photo of the primly sitting feet of a black cat, posed on top of a mid-cut sewing pattern. The goobus LITERALLY sat down ON MY PATTERN, AS I WAS CUTTING IT. I had to remove my scissors mid-cut as he forced his way into my space and put his ass on my pattern piece. To be fair, it was time for dinner. He is an excellent and reliable clock. 😂

Ok, I'm missing 1 facing piece, 2 pieces for the external long cape (I'm waiting on the fabric), and the bits for the jester's cap, which I'll cut out tomorrow.

Everything else is ready to go and now it is time to ASSEMBLE. 💀

A photo of a black table filled with (mostly) neatly laid out sewing project supplies. On the left are various pattern pieces folded into neat rectangles. The fabric is orange, pink, or pink leopard print & each rectangular pile is labeled as to which piece is which for easy reference. On the right of the table is a mini ironing board, iron, & pressing ham. Some scissors & bonus pattern pieces rest on the ironing board in the middle. The upper right corner of the table is filled with all the various small accoutrements required for such a project: pink & orange thread, gold lamé bias tape, pencils, rulers, etc.

My task list to finish this DunKING project is...large....

I have 2 days, and not even the full day each day. There are 30 items on the list.

This may not sound like a lot, but when a single item is along the lines of "Print & cut 17 letter stencils. Attach to material. Cut material", it adds up.
