Dammit, that thing when you're trying to find a post (that you're not even sure if you bookmarked) "It had... words... in it..." I know vaguely what it was about!

I made those crochet lanterns last year. They were flanking my market booth during the X-Mas Market and were a big hit to draw people in. I love how magical they look. 😍 Pattern: Lampion Meeresbrise by AngiDesign 🧢 #crochet #boho #lantern #bohostyle #hÀkeln #crochetsky #fairylights

Since I skipped the shop birthday earlier this year - how about a summer sale? 20% off everything for the next week. No code needed, just dive in: oishiny.etsy.com Free international shipping included. #Handmade #Sale #ShopIndie

You can get 15% off your order when you purchase anything from my website, like these two cuties maybe 🐺🐰🩷 Use code SUMMER25 at checkout littlebirdofparadise.bigcartel.com #mhhsbd #art #folkArt #originalart #artforsale #artshop #bsnm

I took up wallpapers when the UK postal service got hacked and I literally couldn't send parcels abroad. It's kept me topped up a few times too when sales have been slow. Every wallpaper sold is a step closer to getting my bills paid, and every bundle is a big jump: ko-fi.com/turtleofcalm... πŸ’ΈπŸ’•

I have relisted this turkey tail mushroom ornament. Maybe some #mycology and mushroom people might like to buy it. 🐑Completely handmade and designed to be a little art piece, it's my take on these beautiful funghi. earthandsandbyanna.etsy.com/listing/1007... #mushroom #art #artshop #MHHSBD #sciart

I swear, the calendar is conspiring - I blink, and it's a week until rent is due. If you'd like to snap up a shiny thing, you can find them at: oishiny.etsy.com For wallpapers, visit: ko-fi.com/turtleofcalm... Thank you everyone sharing, you're stars. #Handmade #Helpsky #DisabledArtist

Thank you everyone sharing, got a ways to go but making progress, you're all brilliant!

And now Etsy has fallen over. (So has Spotify, so I'm sure things will be back online later.) I'm having a crisis here, could we have a less? Ko-Fi is still up - can I interest you in a wallpaper or two? Grab a bundle and get a big discount: ko-fi.com/turtleofcalm...

Disabled artist in need of a little internet magic - sales have been very slow, and rent is due soon. I have a Ko-Fi open, with plenty of wallpapers to download. (Etsy currently down, will promote that again when it works, to avoid glitches.) ko-fi.com/turtleofcalm #MutualAid #Helpsky πŸ’ΈπŸ’•

Right, I'm coming down to the wire on making rent and Etsy is downish so there's no sense promoting pendants. Can I interest you in a bundle of wallpapers? Adventures from all over Hampshire: ko-fi.com/turtleofcalm... Over 150 single wallpapers to choose from, or grab a bundle and get a discount.

Friday 13th tomorrow, and here's me praying I wake up to a miracle... Anyway. Phone off, fingers crossed Ko-Fi gets anywhere overnight.

Thank you everyone sharing. I'm stressed beyond belief and the migraine is not helping, but I'm doing what I can. 6 days to go. #Crowdfunding #DisabledArtist

Which is better... Looking back over the shoulder or standing in profile?

Ok, another 5 (uncached) US Kindle sales of @lilithsaintcrow.com's RATTLESNAKE WIND. I'm really reaching for dopamine here, so if you could say wonderful things about the author where I can see them, I'd appreciate it.

Dear everyone: It's not just you, half the internet is down.

Beautiful unique blue, red, and green shimmering and sparkling glass necklace. Lovely handcrafted dichroic glass pendant. #jewellery #handmade #etsy #giftideas #shopindie samphireglass.etsy.com/listing/1244...

Migraines are just the stupidest thing ever. "You're stressed - how would you like to also be blind and unable to speak English about it? Bonus for slapping your water bottle across the room."

My ko-fi shop is open again!! Also I've adjusted the shipping so that worldwide shipping is an option, as well as edited some of the shipping prices by a dollar so that it factors in my mailer's parcel insurance (which i forgot to do previously oops) ko-fi.com/telekitnetic...

#pridemonth continues! Can I interest you in two horror short stories with trans masc MCs? They're PWYW over on itch! vincentlore.itch.io

My newest creation is this fabric art celestial ghost bag. I designed and hand-sewed her. She enjoys instilling cosmic terror in jerks. She also likes attending book clubs for beings with incomprehensible powers but she's a bit too shy to talk much during the meetings. jeremycreature.etsy.com

I keep debating if there's anything else I could put up on Ko-Fi. I'm not that artistic so photography is about it really. (I still do RedBubble postcards but you get a tiny fraction months later, so not that practical.)

The problem with crisis after crisis is you end up with everything burned out, all plans, all resources, all anything. I don't know how I'm paying rent and when I went to take a walk about it, a bit of shoe fell off. Come on!
