Another Update with Free Clipart Characters!
Hello, again, too much time has passed, but I work non stop. That autistic hyper-obsessive fixation and focus where you forget to eat, drink, shower or pee without being reminded. II have been working so much I haven’t had time to slip in a blog post as often as I had hoped. I also move much slower these days.
I am going to be back to blogging regularly and even making occasional videos in time, though be aware I will not look exceptionally well. I haven’t aged much, but my skin is pale, my face is puffy and I don’t talk as quickly as I once did. I also have short-term memory loss, so I’ll forget what I was saying mid sentence. The memory loss is the big stick in the spokes that’s hindered this entire ordeal of not being able to get the new shop open, which is my only means of income besides my overworked husband who is over 60 years old not to mention it’s the reason I live and breathe every day. I love what I do. Otherwise, I’d have quit two years ago..
My memory has improved and it will continue to, but without going into a long-winded explanation of what a mutated, internally flawed and physiologically fucked up human being I am, I had a seizure in December of 2022 and hit my head. It caused a condition that in itself causes seizures. This condition is triggered by brain damage, fortunately mine is mild. The damage was likely from whacking the table.
An experimental Parkinson’s treatment is what’s allowing me to live seizure-free and has helped by brain literally reverse the damage that was inflicted, neuroplasticity at work, which I created a manifestation and goal setting method based off fairly new neuroscience that proves how people manifest their goals and lifelong dreams. Repetition is the main key, however there are 5 main actions one must do repetitively in order to manifest and that will be included in the planners we are creating.
I have recently began using this process on myself, as the repetitious guilt of knowing we’ve lost our entire elife savings and are barely scraping by because of me, that daily punch to the gut over and over and over until I vomit, pass out and start again the next day, has made my health issues worse. I’ve also never been truly depressed. I’ve had impulsive moments of depression as we al have and anxiety? Always, I have ADHD. Chronic depression? Never did I know what it was like to feel so low that you’d give anything to take a pull and never wake up again. Just to spare the burden you’e become to your few loved ones. I hope none of you have ever or will ever experience this.
It also doesn’t help that crossing the threshold of age 40 and meeting the evil PERI Fairy (perimenopause, mixed with a lifelong hormonal problem i’ve had since my teens, which is what caused the estrogen toxicity which caused the seizure and the head injury which started this entire domino effect from hell to begin with.) I have a LOT on my plate. I also have a LOT made for the store. Without going into details, when it opens, there will be:
Handbound journals that you likely know already.
New lay-flat grimoires bound very similar to the journals so they lay flat and new paper that takes better to different inks and mediums
Our first productivity planner, with magical planners coming also but one thing at a time. It will be customizable with different size, aesthetic and style options to choose from and pages to add or subtract as you desire.
Digital products. I love writing e-guides so I have created my own for you that you can use or you’re welcome to resell without the licensing headache. NONE of my digital products are from PLR bundles advertised all over social media. I create my own and will always create my own around the subjects I am adept in and also included will be Canva editable printable products as well. My favorite is the commercial use clipart, in GlimmerGloom aesthetic like the gothic-coquette characters above. They’re lovable and sweet yet gloomy.Creepy and cute.
TAKE THEM! I believe if you click on an of the characters above, you’ll get the full resolution image which you’re free to save to your device and use as you please as long as it’s not resold as clipart. Add to a shirt, create a keychain or book cover or fabric pattern, tumbler wrap, add to your own books, planners, make stickers, have at it.
Think… a feminine luxe goth vibe. The blonde girl with a pretty doll-like face in her sparkling pink dress and rose gold heels, diamonds and fluffy white Pomeranian puppy who practices witchcraft, hardcore, hexing and curse casting, troubled bitch witch… with pet twins bats so preciously named Rigor and Mortis ( I had two snakes at one time named Rigor and Mortis LOL) People know her as the pretty feminine girly girl but can’t quite figure out why she gives off such a dark vibe. That’s my style of art. Dorky comparison, but that’s what came out of my head.
Notebooks and notepads out the wazoo! I’ll upload photos a bit later so you can see a sample of items to come or join the mailing list at the bottom of the home page. I’m using Squarespace’s platform for everything now and automation so hopefully things will be more consistent and you’ll actually receive the emails this time. soloprenuership is haaaarrrrddd work and only those who have an obsession with what they do can actually make it work if it means making handcrafted items and digital products.
Any of the digital stationery can be printed and shipped to you as well. We have the fancy printers and means to use lots of ink at little cost so why not?
Stay tuned, family. I love you,
