It's Fabric Day! ✂️ I've finally found a new (domestic and reliable) printer for my luggage tag fabric, so now it's time to get my work cut out for me~

I'm alive! 😅 Apologies for the radio silence as of late - the executive sure hasn't been functioning, and it's all I can do to just keep working on restock. I've got a to-do list a mile long, so I'll just keep hammering at it as I can~ 🔨

It might be more work to stitch my scrunchies closed by hand, but they just look so much better that way~ ❤️

I'm back at my machine today! At least I've got a few things I can work on while I wait for the seven yards of fabric I ordered last week to arrive. 😵

A view from the Pocket Toku booth to the entrance of the AGDQ stream room, of which only seating is visible. On the booth in the foreground is a tablet set up and playing the AGDQ stream.
I'm close enough to see the stream room but not close enough to see the stream! So I make do. 🤣
The final day of AGDQ has begun!

What better way to start off the work week than by upgrading my computer's operating system? 😑
