July Updates

I’m currently sitting here with 7 drafts about 7 finished projects that just need to be written, plus a few other projects I haven’t even started drafts on, and yet I haven’t written a blog post since April.

I’m not going to promise any kind of consistency here. If you want that, feel free to follow me on Instagram:

But, I am going to give a bit of an update of sorts since I have been working on the rest of this site instead of the blog.

For starters, I slightly reconfigured the look. I gave myself a new, personal logo and slightly changed the colors of everything else to match. I also cleaned up the menus and home page. Finally, I now have three portfolios available: Voiceover, Graphic Design, and Fiber Arts. Those I do update whenever I have new things to add. It takes much less time than actually writing.

In other updates, I have closed my Etsy shop and am slowly adding everything I’ve got to my Shopify shop that is connected to my Instagram shop which makes everything way easier. And way cheaper, too, because I can just pay $5 a month instead of $0.20 for every listing. I couldn’t add everything I wanted to because I always had to be careful to not go over a couple dollars in fees per month (and that charge happened every 3 months). That meant I was stacking things in listings and making it way too difficult if anybody ever did want to shop. So everything is going into its own listing so you can know exactly what you are ordering.

I have also set up my commissions on Ko-Fi! Right now there are only 2 listings, Baby Outfits and Keychains, but feel free to message me with any other requests.

Ok, in the next few weeks watch this space for more project write-ups and blog posts. I promise they are coming!


The Etsy Strike

As you may know, many Etsy sellers have set their shops on vacation mode this week as a strike against the latest fee hike. For more information, visit Etsystrike.org.

I have set my shop on vacation as well, despite my shop not being very large. I make very little on each sale due to the fees, along with the fact that they basically forced everyone to offer free shipping a few years ago to be included in search results.

Some of the things from my Etsy shop are also available on Ko-fi, and commissions are always open there if you are looking for something custom.


Monsterverse Episode 1: Endangered Species

I know I just posted on Monday, but I just got this link and wanted to share right away. Ruby is in a cartoon!

A while back, I voiced the character Ruby (the orange one with the fire in that cover image) in the educational game series “Monsters vs Fractions”. I performed her in episodes 2 and 3 of the game, and then a few other things here and there. But this is my first time getting to see her speak in an actual, moving cartoon. I even got to sing in character for the theme song, which was a really fun experience.

It’s also very fun to have something to share of my voiceover work, because it’s usually radio commercials or presentations that I can’t share.
