Okay For Real This Time...
15 min read
As I look forward to a new year, and yet another move in a few short months, I am doing my best to take advantage of the present calm in my life at the moment. My goal is to try and get my commission queue completely cleared out before I have to move again in May. Because, if history serves, another move just means things will get unstable again, and it's really difficult to get any work done in those conditions. And you have all been waiting far, far too long.
It's rather unorthodox of me, but I started this time at the END of my commission queue, with single-piece commissions that I knew would be easier for me to get out of the way. And before that, I took some time to do some fun projects for myself, to remind myself why I love doing this work. I think a lot of my problem in getting going again, beside general instability in my life, has been that working at the level I used to ended up burning me out so badly, a lot of the joy has been sapped out of my work. I am so hard on myself, that I mentally recoil at the idea of exhausting myself the way I once did. Though I only worked for myself, as an employer, I was brutal and pushed myself way too far. And I think I did some real damage.
I figured I would take a page from my supporters, and try to be kinder and more patient with myself. I need to slow down. I need to stop putting myself under so much pressure. I know many of you treasure my work, but none of it is worth more than my well-being. It took having another human being relying on me, and a support network that was truly healthy and nurturing, for me to realize how poorly I'd been treating myself. And as I started to see what I'd been doing to myself, I started to notice more and more how readily people in our society are willing to work themselves literally to death. Mothers returning to work two days after a C-section, managers returning to their jobs the day after a near heart attack, celebrities dying of overdose on pain killers because they insist on working despite broken bones. I was even watching an episode of Star Trek where a character was sick, but so dedicated to their political work, they worked themselves to the grave, and were touted as a noble hero for it. Seriously, what is the point of such a "work ethic" that promotes personal masochism? I don't want to shorten my life for the sake of my work.
Point is, I am establishing new boundaries for myself with relation to my work. No more sleepless nights binging through work. No more working until I am nodding off with a paintbrush in my hand. No more getting so absorbed in my work that I forget to eat all day. No more unlimited commission queues. No more caving in to demand when my heart is not into producing the supply. No more saying "Yes" to every request.
Unfortunately, my remaining workload does not reflect these boundaries or values. But I am still committed to fulfilling my obligations, as always. All told, I have a total of 10 remaining commissions, though many of them are multi-piece commissions, and they are all at least partially completed. Hopefully this is the last time I beg everyone's patience as I finish these. Please do not message me to ask if I am still doing your commission, or remind me that it still needs to be done. The answer is yes, and I have not forgotten. Please only message me if you 1.) want to discuss canceling your commission and getting a refund, 2.) want to update your contact information, 3.) you don't see your commission in the Trello queue, or a shipped item has not arrived, or 4.) you have a custom from me that needs repair.
Moving forward, I will be more focused on these boundaries between work and my life. Once my commission queue is complete, I will be able to hit the ground running with my first Patreon project, as I now have enough patrons to get started! I am looking forward to interacting with my fans more through Patreon.

Like I said, I did get more commissions done:

Again, commissions are currently CLOSED. Moreover, I have made a big decision about how I want to continue my work moving forward. Once I work through my backlog, I will ONLY be working through Patreon. Please check out my page to find out more about the perks of becoming a patron! I will only accept commissions from patrons, and I am considering selling only to patrons online. I will also be making a lot more one-of-a-kind pieces. In fact, my goal is to move away from making copies of my popular pieces entirely and make exclusively unique pieces. (If you don't already understand why I want to do this, please see Season 5, Episode 14... I really connected with Rarity in this episode ^_^;; )
Once again, thank you everyone for your patience, especially in this last couple years. It has been a very hectic time for me, and I really appreciate everyone's continued love and support. It would be no exaggeration to say that it has made all the difference in my life. You're amazing. Thank you.

I'M BACK!
There have been a lot of major changes happening in my life since moving to New England, and it's taken a lot of time to get my bearings. I ended a long-standing relationship of 11 years, and recently started some new ones. My family looks a lot different now than it once did, and adjusting to that has taken up a lot of my energy. Things have finally settled down now, and I have a much clearer vision for my future. I just finished getting settled into a new place (again) and will be trying to get back into the swing of things very soon. Preschool will be ending next month, but I expect to have my kid in daycare over the summer. Assuming that works out, it should open up a lot of time for me to get back to work on everything still in my queue.

I know, it has been a painfully long time and I still have people waiting on their commissions (well over a year, for some of you!) I have not forgotten you, I have not lost your information, I still intend to complete every single obligation I have to you all and, as always, I am extremely grateful for your patience. If your contact/mailing information has changed since you last contacted me, please feel free to send me a note or email so I can update my information. If your patience has run out and you no longer want something you've been waiting on, I do have a limited ability to refund some commissions. I will do my best to get back to responding promptly to all my messages.

I did not apply to any conventions this year, but you will still see me around a little. I will be attending Everfree Northwest, once again selling for BronyMom Tees. Come buy a shirt, or just say hello. I also found out MLP Fair will be in Providence this year, so I will most likely be going since I am so near, either for pleasure or business depending on how things are going around that time. I don't have any current plans to go to Bronycon, but I may go for pleasure anyway, since my sister recently moved to Baltimore and I'd like an excuse to visit.

Preschool = Sweet Freedom
3 min read
So, I am finally settled in my new apartment and the workshop is set up. I have just been waiting for my kid to start preschool so I can focus on getting these commissions cranked out. Unfortunately the program is only a half day, but I can still get a lot done with 4 hours of freedom from my kid! That all starts on the 12th. I also got a part-time job as a baker/decorator, so I'm back in the bakery again. Hopefully I'll be posting some of my work from there soon. ;D
I have a bunch of notes and emails I haven't been able to get around to responding to, but I plan to reply to everyone very soon. Once again, thank you all for the incredible patience you've had with me. I know it's been an exceptionally bumpy ride this last year, and I deeply, truly appreciate your support, business, and continued understanding.
Again, commissions are currently CLOSED and I will NOT be reopening them again UNTIL I have completed everything in my current queue.

The Soap Opera of My Life...
3 min read
Ugh, I seem to have dropped off the face of the earth again, haven't I? I'm afraid I have been distracted from my pony duties, yet again, by life stuff. In the months leading up to Bronycon, I have fallen in love, come out of a personal closet, and been managing some increasingly complicated, downright soap-opera-esque personal drama as a result. It's been transformative, but a bit overwhelming. I managed to survive Bronycon once again, but now I am moving out of my apartment with my son and going through a separation from my partner of 11 years.
As a result I'm going to be closing commissions yet again. I should be resettled relatively soon, and be getting back to work early next month, but I won't be opening commissions again this time until I am COMPLETELY done with my current queue. I have some orders that have just been waiting too damn long at this point. Don't worry, I haven't forgotten any of you.
After this, I do not know if I'm going to be doing customs in the same capacity as before. I have been wanting to branch out more artistically for a while now and I may be investing a lot more time in other projects soon. I will probably still be making some ponies, but not nearly as many as before. We'll see how I'm feeling once the queue is fully cleared.

EFNW and Bronycon
4 min read
I have booked my flight for Everfree Northwest this year - I was not able to get my application in on time for myself, but I will be selling for BronyMom Tees. (I'll bring some ponies too, though, don't worry.) I have also paid for my BronyCon table. I will likely be selling some t-shirts there too, but the focus will be primarily customs. My friend Serp, who does all my 3D printing, will be coming to assist at my table, so hopefully we'll have tons of exciting new pieces to display.
I have applied for Trotcon, and will possibly apply for Grand Brony Gala and Nightmare Nights later this year as well. I applied for BronyCan, but it might not be happening this year even if I get in. We'll have to see how the year goes for me first, it just seems a little unlikely at this point. I was really hoping to add new cons to my list this year, but it has been pretty crazy adjusting after the move. There's a real possibility I might just do EFNW and Bronycon, and that will be it. But again, we'll see what the year brings.

Okay For Real This Time... by Gryphyn-Bloodheart, journal
Okay For Real This Time...
As I look forward to a new year, and yet another move in a few short months, I am doing my best to take advantage of the present calm in my life at the moment. My goal is to try and get my commission queue completely cleared out before I have to move again in May. Because, if history serves, another move just means things will get unstable again, and it's really difficult to get any work done in those conditions. And you have all been waiting far, far too long.
It's rather unorthodox of me, but I started this time at the END of my commission queue, with single-piece commissions that I knew would be easier for me to get out of the way. And be

New Beginnings
I'M BACK!
There have been a lot of major changes happening in my life since moving to New England, and it's taken a lot of time to get my bearings. I ended a long-standing relationship of 11 years, and recently started some new ones. My family looks a lot different now than it once did, and adjusting to that has taken up a lot of my energy. Things have finally settled down now, and I have a much clearer vision for my future. I just finished getting settled into a new place (again) and will be trying to get back into the swing of things very soon. Preschool will be ending next month, but I expect to have my kid in daycare over the summer. Ass

Preschool = Sweet Freedom
So, I am finally settled in my new apartment and the workshop is set up. I have just been waiting for my kid to start preschool so I can focus on getting these commissions cranked out. Unfortunately the program is only a half day, but I can still get a lot done with 4 hours of freedom from my kid! That all starts on the 12th. I also got a part-time job as a baker/decorator, so I'm back in the bakery again. Hopefully I'll be posting some of my work from there soon. ;D
I have a bunch of notes and emails I haven't been able to get around to responding to, but I plan to reply to everyone very soon. Once again, thank you all for the incredible pa

The Soap Opera of My Life...
Ugh, I seem to have dropped off the face of the earth again, haven't I? I'm afraid I have been distracted from my pony duties, yet again, by life stuff. In the months leading up to Bronycon, I have fallen in love, come out of a personal closet, and been managing some increasingly complicated, downright soap-opera-esque personal drama as a result. It's been transformative, but a bit overwhelming. I managed to survive Bronycon once again, but now I am moving out of my apartment with my son and going through a separation from my partner of 11 years.
As a result I'm going to be closing commissions yet again. I should be resettled relatively soon

EFNW and Bronycon
I have booked my flight for Everfree Northwest this year - I was not able to get my application in on time for myself, but I will be selling for BronyMom Tees. (I'll bring some ponies too, though, don't worry.) I have also paid for my BronyCon table. I will likely be selling some t-shirts there too, but the focus will be primarily customs. My friend Serp, who does all my 3D printing, will be coming to assist at my table, so hopefully we'll have tons of exciting new pieces to display.
I have applied for Trotcon, and will possibly apply for Grand Brony Gala and Nightmare Nights later this year as well. I applied for BronyCan, but it might not
