Happy new year everyone!
Just a quick little ramble/chat thing to you all about what's to come from me in 2018. So some of you who know me personally might know how much I love World of Warcraft, well I'm hoping to add some mounts/pets onto my plush rota sometime this coming year; we're talking Dragon aspects, rare mounts, battle pets!
On the generic plush side of things I'm wanting big cats because they've always held a place in my heart, and I'd actually love to look into how to donate something towards the WWF from each sale I make on Etsy! Other animals I'd like to add to my shop include snakes, birds of some sort, giraffes, rhinos, elephants...the list goes on really....no it actually does; my notepad had 56 animals down last time I checked
I'm still loving my mythology so expect to see more crazy beasts on my shop and here! The Jackalope won my poll so that'll be first on the list and then who knows what, griffins, sea dragons, hydras? I'll have to do some googling
I'm very excited to be starting a brand new year knowing I'm under no stress to look for a job as I'm now full time with my shop <3 So it is totally a new year, new me and as much I hate new years resolutions I'll be going back on my keto diet first thing and trying to exercise more often to shed those 30 something pounds, all in all 2018 will be a year of change and growth for me. Thank you so much to all my watchers, expect giveaways in the new year and a tonne more surprises!

An overdue update
I know I've been pretty lax on uploading my plushies lately and the truth is I haven't got anything to show you guys right now, I've only been working on things if they're orders or commissions.
I've not been in the best place mentally recently, I've pushed my family away, deleted my facebook and I seem to enjoy food a lot less than I used to and barely eat now. Call it depression or whatever but I do occasionally get this feeling however this is the longest amount of time I think its affected me.
Anyway I just want to reassure you all that I will be back to be normal when I'm ready, I still love sewing and creating things and I still have
Street Party and lack of updates
So first off: my mums road had a street party yesterday in honour of Jo Cox ( a politician that was murdered because she wanted the world to be a better place ) and the NEWS team turned up to do a LIVE segment on it! I was a stones throw away from the reporter and the camera all day and luckily I'm just out of the shot on the tv
Here is a picture of them and how close they were:
Anyway, shop stuff!
So as you all know from my previous status update my old manager suddenly passed away; it shook me even though we'd not talked in years because she was such a lovely person and as far as I know she wasn't ill. During the past week probably due
Just a little silly victory for me
Whew I finally learned to dye my own hair it only took me 25 years! I've been relying on friends (who aren't in my life anymore), my mother who is AWFUL at dying hair and it just never works and of course the hairdressers that charge a minimum of £60 to do it for you...and it only lasts a week at the most. Well this box dye cost me £1.
I just noticed you guys don't really know what I look like so this is sort of a debut? Hello
Do excuse the hair all over my tshirt, it's just something I threw on to take the picture/check I hadn't somehow turned my hair green (there's a thought!)
My arm is feeling a lot better today, I think I
Patterns
So I'm thinking of putting some of my own patterns up for sale however I'm a little concerned.
Sometimes I like to just make my plushies from basic shapes and then add the limbs/parts with ladder stitches and I know a lot of pattern sellers make their patterns differently with darts and gussets galore, sometimes I think this looks a bit iffy especially on faces of plushies where you can see thousands of folded seams.
Anyway my question: Is this something people would be interested in? I've got over 50 patterns in my binding folder just sitting there, and a few plushies I might retire from my shop and just sell the pattern a.k.a chameleon an
