I had a super fun custom this month, it was a delight to make 💐

Pattern is available on my site now, línk in bio!

While I don’t have an online shop for my hoops, customs are almost always open for those in Canada, just send me a message!

Happy New Year’s Eve!

2025 was the year of my top surgery so I didn’t stitch as much as years gone past while I healed.

I moved into @the.black.heart.co this year in Oshawa, and even did custom work for @borderlands 🔥

I can’t wait to see what 2026 has in store for me!

I am cringe but I am free ✨

I was recently getting the Cool S tattooed on me by @leealoutattoos , and @limpbizkit started playing. In that moment, I knew I had peaked in coolness, and it was fucking rad 🔥

This will be available this weekend at @prfmoshawa ✊🏻 Will I see you there?

That’s a rock fact 🪨

It’s my favourite time of the year (minus the Raynaud’s flare ups), and that means it’s time for an Over The Garden Wall rewatch 🍁

What’s your favourite quote or scene from it?

I’ve been having a lot of fun on our weekly thrifting date with my husband, and then coming on here and sharing with you!
It was a good week! I think they all are though 🫶🏻
Which one of these would you have gotten? Which is the most cursed 👀

You will not break me ✊🏻

We all need to be more like Dungeon Crawler Carl, and remember that they will not break us. We will not let them.

Used red and white for Carl’s boxers, and purple because well, I’m a Donut Hole ✨

Goddamnit, Donut ❤️

Have you read Dungeon Crawler Carl yet? It’s like if Hitchhikers Guide mixed with The Hunger Games, but there’s a sassy, talking cat named Princess Donut.

Fan Expo Canada starts this Thursday and I’m so excited! I made this catalog for you guys so you can check out what’s going to be there for the first time! ✨

I’ll have handmade sticker books ($25) because what sticker slut couldn’t use somewhere cute to store their stickers?

There will also be 45 sticker designs that were not there last year!

What are you most excited to see?👀
