Still thinking about last weekend!! Thank you for coming to my fish 🐟 market and supporting all of the makers at @akassaco !! You guys showed 🆙 Ashlee, Annie, Aki, and Parth really worked so hard on the market and made it come to life ✨It was a magical day and even greater because we got to support a great cause! Thankful for events like this to make new vendor friends and see my friends in action!! Thanks for helping me make my holiday shopping easier 🫶🏼‼️And thank you to my friends and family for helping me set up! I have two more events this year, so come by if you missed this one!

Day 1: Acorn! // It’s officially October which means Peachtober is in full swing! Every year I attempt this challenge and I think I’ve only ever completed it once lol but this year WILL BE DIFFERENT (I say this every year lmao). I think drawing everyday is just not something I can do, but sewing sounds fun, so let’s try it out! Music used ♫ Relaxed Lofi Cafe Music - Tunetank

pics from last weekend at @ocdreamersmarket !! it was such a great experience and i can’t wait to do it again! thanks to all who came and talked with me ~ i got great feedback and am motivated to keep creating!! :,)
☁️
felt the imposter syndrome when i was setting up and felt like everyone else looked so professional, but all those doubts left when i made my first sale !! no matter how small a creator u are, there are people out there who will look at your work with a smile on their face!!! so keep on goin and keep on growin :,)
as soon as the table assignments get sent out, i’m zooming in on how close i am to my friends 👀 thank you for coming to the @akassaco market yesterday!! it was so much fun :,) it always feels like a reunion with friends!! ily @withlovefin + @anniej 🫶🏼🩷

Calling all worm lovers! I had a request at my last market to make big worms so I did. I made 2 magnetic worms and 1 wall decoration! If they don’t sell, I will keep them for myself because I fear I’ve grown attached 🪱

🧵 Punch needle, whimsy, and a whole lot of personality.
We’re so happy to welcome back Kristen Kumagai of @studiokuma to the AKASSA Market. 🐻
Kristen is a Japanese American fiber artist specializing in punch needle creations — mug rugs, wall hangings, hair clips, and stickers, each one handmade with a touch of whimsy and rooted in her cultural background. The kind of table where everything has personality and nothing takes itself too seriously. In the best way.
She returns to AKASSA because this market has given her something she didn’t expect — community, friendship, and the deep satisfaction of creating art with purpose.
Bring your market passport and come find her table at Open House.

The final part of the Tissue Box Saga. I’m so glad it’s done but I’m also just glad that it exists! It’s so cute in my space, I love it so much but I do fear breaking it, so the tissues are just a display item and not for use hahaha. I don’t even know what to make next. This took a lot out of me.

Part 2 of the Tissue Box Perler Proejct! This has really tested my patience. I am a changed woman. I also DO read all of your comments (most are nice lol) and I appreciate you giving me advice because I clearly needed it!

I am slowly but surely making my way through my Perler Beads! Granted, most end up on the floor, but I’m still happy that I’m putting them to use! My favorite Tamagotchi character is Ichigotchi, what’s yours?
