Alive!
Posted a year agoIm still here, just super quiet. With what is seeming to be an inevitable crash of Twitter, i'll most likely start being more active on here again. Not sure how regular posts will be, as daily updates aren't feasible here. So moving forward i'll do my best to try to get back to the swing of things here on FA. Please bare with me while i figure out how to readjust to a new normal. Ive also got lots of old images i need to sort through so they can be posted here. Its been a clean minute since ive posted images here regularly, so hang tight. Cant say how soon i'll be posting things as its the "holiday season", but i'll do my best to get back to posting on a regular basis.
2021
Posted 3 years agoWell last year was trip...Lets pick up the pieces and do better. I have a new job, better pay, steady hours, and am starting to get my life on track. Dealing with some hurdles, but i hope to get to my goals in due time.
FIND ME HERE+2020
Posted 4 years agoI use twitter and instagram way more than i do FA.

Since i haven't said much on here about life things here's an update. This past year, i have been setting myself up to do better for this year. Which means I'm cutting back on the one thing i love to do most, suit making. While i'll still be making things, i just won't be taking on as much. Only small orders for the foreseeable future. Now that doesn't mean i won't make full/partial suits ever again, its just not feasible for the time being. I have put in for full time at my day job, so most of my time will be dedicated to that. The remainder of my free time will be put towards premade parts, to sell at cons, or to sell online at some point. In short, i want to better my life, have a house of my own, and live how i want. Taking a step back from one thing to help me pursue another, seems the most logical thing to do.

Shinies?
Posted 5 years agoI just enabled them! However, it's a little bit of a weird set up. I don't see how or where someone can tip you? I'm i blind or just really missing something?
Working hard+Updates
Posted 5 years agoThis year is going by too fast. Still a ton of con prep to do for AC, i haven't started anything for it yet. Been working almost solely on commissions outside my day job, leaving little free time. Don't get me wrong, this isn't a complaint, I'm nearly stating the facts. Commissions take priority, so naturally con prep lags behind. In good news though commissions are getting very caught up. Goat suit needs its head worked on more, its bodysuit is about 80% done, hands and feet are done. Galaxy raven is about 99% done, all that's left is to cover the feet. Wolf full suit is coming along nicely, its hands are done, tail is done, head is taped up, DTD is stuffed and ready to pattern. Saber head is making progress as well.
Speaking of Anthrocon, this will hopefully be a very big year for me there. Im planning on a new table set up, getting rid of one table and replacing it with a larger standing grid display. I'll be able to properly display wings, tails, and feet paws this way. I still have a few premade partials looking for homes, so they'll come to the con with me. As well as 2 new twin partials that are being worked on, they'll be done for AC as well. I have an extremely lofty goal this year for AC, so i really need to get cracking and pull some late nighters even on days i have my day job. This includes taking inventory of what i already have made, and what still needs to be made in order to achieve my goal, and if its feasible to get that list done for AC.
My personal goal and mantra for 2019 is and has been before the year started, "Make 2019 big". For me that means stick to my lists and time frames as hard and best i can. Plan for the unexpected and expected, and budget for the future, and achieve my goal as best as i personally can do.

Anthrocon!
Posted 5 years agoI will be attending this year! Again i will be a dealer, tables haven't been assigned yet, but when they do i'll make a post where to find me at. I'll have at least 2 new partials with me, 2 twin birds, which is rather fitting since the charity this year is a bird rescue!

To 2019
Posted 5 years agoIt's been quite the year, but I'm glad I've made it through. Currently i have Anthrocon on my list of attending/dealing at cons, with a few more potential ones id like to sell at. We'll see where the year brings me. Im still saving to move, its a long arduous process, but I'm slowly getting there. Trying to plan ahead, for my future place, already have some house amenities put away, that way i don't have to worry about getting all those things at once. Im still unsure where i want to go, all i know is the state im in is far too expensive for me to stay, so another state may be a better choice. It's wherever the money leads me really. Heres to hoping this coming year being a smoother ride than 2018.
Toothless dragon plush auction?!
Posted 5 years agoIm actually heavily considering having an auction to make a more updated version of my 6ft Toothless plush, or it could be the light fury if desired. What auction platform do you all prefer?
Not dead!
Posted 5 years agoJust working my day job a ton! Hours have been nuts, no set anything other than i have Sundays off. It's probably going to be quiet on here until after the holidays, as ive been working non stop. The few projects i have on hand are being worked on, just at a slower space.

Working! Goals too
Posted 5 years agoWhile i do have a new job, I'm still working on suits. Im still working on hobbies, always trying to improve my skills in whatever i pick up to do. My biggest goal is to make 2019, "big". For me that means save up and earn enough to put a down payment on a house. At the same time i have other things i'd like to do, my sister's 21 birthday is next year, she wants to go to disney, i'd like to go with her. I'll have to make some pocket money to save and go, i'd like to make it a fun and special b-day for her, while maintaining a path to my goals as well. I have a feeling that it's going to take into 2020 to achieve my goals, because i know there's inevitably going to be obstacles, but such is life. Regardless, i have some lofty goals to reach, and im planning to make the next 1-2 years grand in my efforts to reach them. Im keeping my fingers crossed that i can get into at least 3 cons to deal at in 2019. With that, im hoping to make certain monetary goals at each, with taxes and expenses at the forefront of my biggest concerns. If i can push past my con goals, and do well, i /should/ be able to afford that house, and a trip with my sister. Of course i do have some other personal goals i'd like to try and achieve as well, personal happiness, actually suiting at cons for myself again, i miss suiting i never get to do it anymore. That just about sums it up, personals goals are to be "big", here's hoping i'll follow through and achieve them!
I have a new job!
Posted 5 years agoAfter 10 long years, ive finally gotten myself a new job! Had my interview today, and got hired on the spot. Gonna be close to full time, basically a glorified part time, but im more than happy with that. I want and need to work in order to save enough to move, this is a great new change that will help me achieve my goal. Fear not though, i'll still be making suits, i'll still go to cons, i'll just be making a better and healthier living. Even better still my new job is in the same complex as my current job, so travel time will be the exact same! Oh man im so excited to start down a new path, a much needed fresh start.
Goals
Posted 5 years agoI have some major goals set for the next year+. Going to try to attend and sell at as many cons as i can get into. Gotta make that dough, ya know? If all goes mostly to plan i should be be able meet my monetary goal in a year and a half. I don't wanna say to much, as everything is tentative, but major changes in the future! I'll still be taking commissions, i'll still have premades, not too much will change that way. Im planning on changing day jobs, which will definitely be a much needed boost to my pockets. Its gonna be a tough road ahead, but hopefully the hard work will pay off!

Reminder, i am very active on Twitter https://twitter.com/Icy_Paw Its where i post nearly every days. Many WIPs, personal happenings, best way to stay up to date with me. I have things on there that i haven't even posted here yet.
Starting off 2018
Posted 6 years agoThis is going to be a very different year for me to say the least. I will not be attending any major cons this year. Once i clear my queue from last year i'll be opening for new large orders, full suits, partials suits, bodies for existing customers suits, etc. I really need to get a new day job, if i cant get enough income via commissions, a day job will take priority. As much as i want to indefinitely make suits, im a one person show with a cramped work space. In order for me to expand as a business and person i need to get my financial self in a stable position. To do that, i need more income, then i can move again to a much larger space to produce things in a smoother more functional fashion. So until i can move again, the amount of large commissions i take on will be few at a time.
I am far more active on twitter. If you have an account feel fore to follow. :)
