Our little ghost friends spent too much time in the sunshine at the beach this weekend! Swipe to see what happens to little ghosties that don’t wear sunblock! 😱

Will be making a mess of these lil ghosties for spooky season! 👻 Keep an eye on my Etsy shop! I’ll share the link once he’s live (yikes, no pun intended, little buddy)!

Wanna know something fun about this ghost? He looks completely different in the dark. 👀 More pics coming soon!

Vimes blinked. A tall dark robed figure was now sitting in the boat.

IT’S THE SCYTHE, ISN’T IT? PEOPLE ALWAYS NOTICE THE SCYTHE.
- The Fifth Elephant, Terry Pratchett

This little guy is looking for work. You see, his apprentice is covering most of the day-to-day of his usual job, which means his career is heading down a different path. In fact, he told the employment offices that he is looking for… *checks notes* “something nice with cats or flowers.”

He’s been at his old job for millennia (I assume he was speaking figuratively…don’t you?) and he’s not quite sure what’s next for him. Are you willing to help him find a new direction?

Price: $20 (+$10 shipping) - DM me, will be up on Etsy soon if I still have him in a few weeks

This hobbit hole-inspired mini tote really puts the “Bag” in “Bag End”! It doesn’t get any cozier than living a hobbit life. That is, until a grumpy wizard comes along and demands you go adventuring with him. Just in case that happens to you, you’ll need something to carry your second breakfast or an extra pouch or two of Old Toby. As it so happens, this mini tote is perfectly suited for just that! Its hobbit stylings will remind you of home while you’re off getting singed by dragon fire or menaced by orcs.

$40 (+ $10 shipping if I have to send it by Eagle)

Hey everyone! I’ve got some good news - I’m reopening commissions! I will be doing it slightly different, though. Here’s how it’s going to go:

- I am going to put together a catalog of designs that I am willing to crochet. These will be stuffed animals and wearables - expect more of a blend moving forward, whereas before I was almost primarily stuffed animals. The catalog will be viewable here on Facebook with prices listed, or on my Etsy page (theforgeandthistleus.etsy.com).

- You contact me either here, through email ([email protected]), or through a listing on my Etsy page and let me know what design you would like, and in what colors. NOTE: Prices on Etsy shop may be higher to cover the cost of their fees.

- You pay me and I make your item and send it you! For larger items, like shawls, I will require a deposit with total balance paid before I ship - it will take some time to make the larger items, so as always, your patience is appreciated.

Take a look at these in-stock items and let me know what you’d like! More items coming soon!

That face you make when someone says, "Did someone make your shawl for you?" the first time you wear the shawl that you spent a long time making.

If you'd like me to make one for you, though, hit "Like" on this post and I'll add them as a custom item on my Etsy shop! You pick the colors, I make it for you, and ship it to your door!

You peek into the well, expecting to see your own face reflected back at you. Instead, you see the swirling colors of the rainbow sky of a magical land. Rather than stop and wonder what was in your morning coffee, you come to the conclusion that this must be a magical wishing well! You rummage through your pockets for a coin to toss, but you can't find any there.

It's a good thing you have this handy-dandy coin pouch, brimming with shiny offerings* that are sure to satisfy the wish fairies! All you had to do was pay $20 in your realm's currency to the merchant, and you got yourself this dragon scale-clad means of transporting small goods, such as dice for roleplaying adventures, cool rocks you found in the woods, and, that's right, coins for wishing wells. It's a wish come true! Find it here: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1466348531/

*Shiny offerings not included. I'm not getting involved in any dealings between you and the wish fairies.

Did you know that, in addition to a crocheter and a knitter, I am also a fledgeling bladesmith? The green-handled drop point in the center of this photo is the first knife I ever made with lots of help from my instructor. Proceeds from sales I make from my fibercrafted goods go toward furthering my bladesmithing education and building up my home forge, which is something my husband and I will use together. It's also something I hope to use to add financial support to my home and family someday.

If you'd like to support me in my journey towards self-sufficiency, consider shopping my crochet and knitted goods! Browse through what you see here on my social media, or go to my Etsy page (link in bio!) and place an order.

Thanks for all the support! Keep it coming!
