Hey everyone, I'm Raeyn. I'm a disabled queer crafter with all sorts of goodies available for #pridemonth (and year round!).

Now, I hear all the time how cool my stuff is, but you know what? My sales never reflect this. Like all small businesses, I rely on word of mouth, but I seem to have very little luck getting any of that going.

So what I would like to ask of the Fediverse -- make this my best pride month ever (not that that's hard, heh). Consider buying stuff, boost my post, and telling your friends. Just boosting means almost as much to me as buying, and that costs nothing. ;)

Center left is an aroace heart rendered in 1" cross-stitch, while center right is the intersex flag rendered as a seed bead ring. Bottom left is the transexual flag rendered as a seed bead bracelet, while bottom right is the lesbian flag rendered as a 3" cross-stitch. The very bottom has my shop url -- shop.raeyn.com

Whew, already knackered today. Part of that was helping spouse fish some heavy things out of a cupboard, which, I didn't know I'd be doing, ha ha. We've had the bits for a wardrobe waiting to be constructed for almost a decade, and finally, it's going to happen so the eldest has more clothes storage. Plus, all of this helps prep them for a decluttering session for themselves and their younger sibling next weekend (it's a party).

I've also been doing some shop admin in preparation for Pride Month. I'm hoping this year I'll actually see some sales, and to that end, that means I'm hoping my friends will actually tell their friends about my cool stuff for once. I've included my promotional graphic in today's post, and I'll pin a post about it tomorrow for specific-to-month advertising.

I also had stitch markers to get started, so 60 tiny-ass cabochons (10mm across) are in the first stage of the process. Which is to say, image to cabochon, and then in a few hours, cabochon into tray. I don't know if I'll get through the entire process today, but at least one of the fiddly stages is complete (though stars, I should never do 60 at once ><).

So yeah. I should like, sit and stop doing things. I got distracted by doing ALL THE CHORES, and I definitely didn't have the spoons for it. xD

I kind of fulfilled myself a little dream.
Yes, I know that I am not the worlds most talented baker, but I am pretty decent with yeast based doughs and can make a really solid Focaccia or Brioche style burger buns for example.

So, I finally got myself one of these: A #KitchenAid #Artisan.

Got the "Milkshake" (aka beige) colored one, because an online store was selling this color (and this color only) for an absolute bargain.
So after some back and forth in my head, I said to myself "Okay, fuck it. You know you are going to love using it!" and got myself one.
