I appreciate that this is going to come as a bit of a surprise, but for now, I’ve sent out the last eternal magpie email. I’m trying to streamline the amount of admin I need to do before I go back to University, so this particular task has been struck off the list! Don’t worry though – if you’re following me on social media, you definitely won’t miss out.
Last week I made the executive decision that as nobody was paying for the downloadable planner pages anyway, I might as well add them to the site for free. So, rather than having a shop where you can buy physical items, there’s now a list of things that you can download if you’d like to.
I’ve also added a tip jar, via Ko-Fi and PayPal. That way, if you’d like to send me a few quid as an acknowledgement of the time I’ve spent on researching and designing these things, it’s easy to do. You can if you want, but you don’t have to. Simple as that!
So, if everything on the website is now free and downloadable… where have the Actual Physical Things gone?
Well, most of them I’ve just stopped making, as I’ll need to devote all of my time to studying once University starts!
But some of them are over at RedBubble, where I upload designs and they print them onto stuff & things for me. At the moment it’s mostly notebooks featuring Miss Mouse, but the tote bags will be returning soon, and you might find some brand new t-shirts making an appearance!
This is very much a work in progress, and new products will be gradually taking shape over the next few weeks.
Speaking of which…
As is usual after Infest (an August Bank Holiday music festival), on his return, Paul and I discussed some possibilities for both reviving some of the old Baby Horrors designs, and also coming up with some new ones better suited to modern printing techniques.
The originals were done with flock material on a heat press, and we’d rather like to do a limited batch with that texture, if we can. We’ve got our thinking caps at the ready, and Paul’s got his sketchbook out, so it would be nice if we could get some new (or old!) designs put together for you.
While things may be changing, they’re definitely not over, and I will remain active as I can over here on the blog, as well as in all the usual social media places. Now I just need to get myself organised for going back to University (after twenty-something years away) in a month’s time!
