Hey everyone. Long time no shows, or communication, or pretty much anything. Last year was hellasious but it's over!

We will be having our grand reentry into the con and fair world this Saturday, February 8th, at Hickory comic con. We will be there with our partner Melissa Christie at her booth Melissa Christie Art.

And thanks to Melissa's never ending talent and imagination we will be introducing TWO new Christie Cats... Spring Cat and Pride Cat.

Also we will have an anime journal and sketchbook clearance section so don't miss out on the savings!

Can't wait to see you there!

So at 1 in the morning I come up with a lighted embroidery idea on multiple layers of organza. So I am looking for those micro fairy lights in strings of 10 preferably or up to 20 led lights.

Now here is the rub. I want a smaller battery box than your normal one holding your cr2032. I really miss radio shack at this moment (yes I'm aware of the franchise still in lenoir).

Technically I can 3d print a smaller box for a smaller battery if need be, cut and strip wires, etc. The on off switch is getting my brain a bit more as I want the battery box to be... well pretty as compared to such things built in Grammer school. However there is a point where sourcing such elements is more effective on every level rather than making.

I am failing at my normal lighting source sites, and Gemini, which can discuss warp theory at length, simply told me to build it myself.

If anyone wants the challenge and succeeds in finding such a jewel I am happy to trade product for the effort and information.

I learned today my dear friend and business partner, Melissa, has a form of cancer. Surgery is tomorrow.
Please help us bombard God with prayers for her recovery. He knows what's in our hearts but making noise about it can't hurt.

My (and Aarons) deepest thanks.

Hello everyone. I know it's been ages. I have been recovering from a traumatic illness that stole the first half of the year from me, and I am using the second half for recovering. We did partake in the Women's Resource Center event last weekend in order to ... get our toes wet again so to speak.
I want to thank all of you who still follow us, and make a special shout out to all those friends and family members who have walked by my side down this difficult road.

Lots of fun at the farm tomorrow! Come check out all our amazing vendors including a petting zoo and inflatables for your littles! We are so excited to see you!
