I don't use Twitter at all anymore, but I have the app and get notifications when Kristi (@auralynne) posts on our Twitter account -- which is how I realized she made us a Bluesky account! (Give it a follow.)

That has me thinking a bit about our social media situation. Right now, as far as I understand it, Kristi and Chiarra do most of the work, with Kristi doing the bulk of it. I run our Tumblr, but I won't take too much credit there because I mostly cross-post what Kristi prepares.

Could we open the floor perhaps for more volunteers to assist in social media posting and public interactions? Or at least open the floor for folks to give their opinions, which is what I'm doing I suppose. Hi. First forum post. ?

The Tranimals are finally here!

The pouch has been emptied, the tranimals unleashed. If you're located in the US or Canada, you can get your very own on my Artisans Cooperative storefront. Elsewhere, and you can pick them up over on Ko-Fi. You can also help spread the word by reblogging/boosting/etc. on my socials, all found through my Linktree.

I'm running a discount for 25% off all purchases from my shop. All purchases will earn you an entry for a free lap size quilt when I reach my current Ko-Fi goal. We're $1000 USD from reaching the goal. If it's reached by October 16th, I'm giving away TWO lap size quilts, and the names will be drawn from the people who have donated, purchased from my shop, or commissioned me since my last giveaway. My members are automatically entered.

As for what the goal actually is, it's payment for our water heater and installation, which we had done last year because the 20-year-old water heater died. It was a $3k loan, we're down to the final $1k, and it'll start collecting interest in April next year. Once this is done and paid for, I'm going to treat myself to something nice seeing as all my money has gone towards home repairs from the ice storm in February, vet bills, medical bills, and this. I deserve something nice, like an XBox Series X and a physical copy of the new Dragon Age game (my fav game series ever) that releases on Halloween.

Please, help me reach my goal!
