Deviation Actions
If you haven't noticed, I've mostly gone dark on pretty much everywhere, and the site has gone through a number of changes.
The last year has been very, very rough. My husband suffered a mental break from a previously undiagnosed personality disorder, which resulted in a drastic personality change. He walked out on us at the end of last June. Everything since then has been a rollercoaster that is just now starting to even out. Needless to say I've been fighting off a lot of depression myself as a result, and the stress has made a lot of my old C-PTSD symptoms to come back. This has tanked my drive and creativity for months now, and it's only just now starting to come back in bits and pieces.
I really don't know yet when I will be posting content consistently, but I'm hoping it will be soon. For now I will be posting some of the new product pictures that are from the site overhaul I finished in April, and some of my new amigurumi designs. I'm hoping to do more pattern writing since I have a back log of first drafts and lots of photos . With any luck those will be making it onto Geekerymade.com, here, Ravlery, and other sites over the next few months.
It will be a little longer before I do some new vinyl designs. As far as those go I plan on focusing on expanding product types for a few months. That means more shirts, mugs, phone cases, and much, much more. I've found a bunch of new suppliers and am working towards carrying more of these items when I vend at events.
The vending schedule for this year is very parred down. I did vend at Salt Con 2016 and Utah Pride 2016, but so far that's it this year. I may be vending at Salt Lake Comic Con along side another artist and at the Brown Coat Ball in Salt Lake City. There is another event around Christmas that I'm looking at too, but I haven't committed to any of these as of yet.
So that's the update.

Yet another convention :)
We will be vending at SaltCon 2015 on March 12, 13 and 14 in Layton UT. This is one of my favorite conventions! It is a 3 full (overnight included) gaming extravaganza and doesn't get near enough credit for it's awesomeness. Basically every game store in northern Utah (and there are a LOT of them) get together and have a 3 day long party :).
We will be launching a new line of dice bags (patterns for which are to come) at the event, as well as some new jewelry. Since there will be no FantasyCon this year, our next event probably won't be until August after this. We plan on taking that time gap to really stock up for ComicCon in September and
Salt Lake City FanX!
We will be vending at table Purple 15 (yes you read that right) at SLC FanX Jan 29, 30 and 31!
Finished up the Amigurumi Chandra
Now that the rough draft of the pattern is done I can go over it and get it ready for publishing. Pics to come. The prototype will be for sale at our booth this convention season.
Crochet Live Streams
I am now doing living streams most evenings on Twitch! Sometimes I or Raul will be gaming (WoW, LoL, Don't Starve, or Minecraft mostly) and every night I stream I will do a two hour block of crafting :) Current project is an amigurumi Tauren!
