Hi hi fabulous patreon pals! I'm just writing to give a quick couple of updates on things going on in my life and how they will slightly impact a couple of things here in the short term!
As some of you know, I have one more trip that I'm taking to Sweden in order to finish emptying out my flat and finalizing the sale! I'm leaving later this week and will be there until a few days into March! It's going to be a lot of work and emotions but once it's done, it will be a relief at least.
(as a side note, are any of you in the Stockholm area interested in a couple of large framed prints? I can sign them if you want to come and pick them up! (haha!)
Since I won't be back until a few days into March, the February envelopes will be sent out about a week later than usual. So instead of them being sent out on the 2nd of the month, I'm aiming to send them out on the 7th of March! They are actually all packed up and ready to go (yay for planning ahead!) but I can't get all of the addresses for everyone who has supported in February until the last day of February! SO, I'll be addressing and sending them out ASAP when I get back from Sweden. Thanks for your understanding!
I have been working hard to try and get as much done as possible before I leave. (The tutorial for the month was done and posted early, 3 new illustrations are already completed for the month!) I do hope to do another artwork this month and will try working on it while I travel, but we'll see how it all goes!
Anyhoo, my hope is that with the prep work I did, the content here for the month isn't too different than usual even with everything going on!
While I am gone, I'm not planning on any twitch livestreams, so we are off of those for a couple of weeks until I return! When I do return, our updated schedule is:
Work-With-Me Wednesday streams at approximately 10:30am MST
Sunday Weekend Streams, also at 10:30am MST.
I'm excited to chit chat with you guys when I am back!
Last week my father-in-law fell off of a roof and was injured. I have chatted about it on stream, but haven't really brought it up anywhere else yet. He has been in the hospital with some arm and shoulder injuries and a severe concussion that has really muddled up his memory, balance, and coherence. Hopefully, all of that will keep improving, but that has definitely sucked up a lot of my attention the past week or so.
I foresee that my husband and I will be stepping in to help however we can, especially financially since it's uncertain how much my father-in-law will be able to return to work after this.
There has been a recent little boost here in terms of patronage and I can't tell you how much it means to us and the incredibly apt timing of it. Even though you guys had no idea what was going on in my life, and these events have nothing to do with why you guys supported me, somehow, you came right when we needed you. So thank you! ❤️🩹
I am so incredibly grateful for each of you and I don't take your support for granted. There are a million and one products and companies trying to take your attention and money, and it means so much that you choose to be here and support my work as an artist. It's really mind blowing to me if I think about it to hard! haha! I always want to do my best to provide as much as I can and make it worth it for you here! So anyhoo, thank you again!
