By a series of small miracles and a last minute commission coming through, my housing situation has been figured out. Finally. I can resume the queue again without less incident. I do have a small announcement with this, however.
After the current and second queues are finished (and trades), I will be going on hiatus from commissions for a little bit. I don't know how long, it may be indefinitely. I may just change up how I do commissions working at only one at a time to avoid backlogs like this and only taking commissions that I really want to do. I've been realizing over time that I really don't enjoy commissions. I love to sew and I love to make plushies and pillows..but I like making things I want to make, not things just to fill up a schedule. I think over time that I've stopped making Homestuck plush I've become increasingly unhappy, depressed, and not really satisfied with plush crafting anymore. Essentially, I miss doing creative projects for myself. And it's left me at a point where it's very difficult to find the motivation to work on commissions let alone with everything bad that's been piling up in my life. It's been a deadly combination but it has left me with a very real understanding of how I want to continue going forward.

So everything that needs to get done will still be getting done but no new orders will be taken for a while. If I do open up slots again (like one at a time slots) it'll only be for trades and work I really want to do.

So I'm happy to answer pricing questions still but nothing new will be put on the schedule for quite a while. I just want to focus on finishing up what needs to be done and going back to my roots. I may have premade items for sale now and then, though. And I will still be at NebrasKon with my table.
