I'll be moving soon. Because I have to not because I want to.

This effects a few things.

Commissions: I was already slow with things because I am just slow on top of having to always be looking for work because otherwise it's fraud and that I had to take on more commission to afford to even get by here even WITH help. So, those will be a bit slower while I pack up and try to get things ready. As well as unpacking whenever I actually GET somewhere. I am not 100% positive on where I will end up. Just that it is 1 of 2 places.

Shop orders: My shop (if anyone noticed) is closed at the moment. I cannot take on more orders at this time. I have waaaay too many to catch up on and once again, I realized that I am undercharging. I wanted to be cheaper than other options to bring in business, but as it turns out that means I am getting paid way less. Even with the increase I made for costs about two or three months ago wasn't enough. An example. My highest price point for plushies is $120 for a minky plush. My most recent order for a minky plush requested a mix of minky AND fleece (which is a cheaper alternative) for the plush and after buying all the materials to actually MAKE the plushie I was left with $40 of which I still have to deduct shipping costs from leaving me with $30 for payment to myself and any other problems that may come up. As you can see, $30 is not alot for the work that goes into it. So I will have to re-think prices. The same goes for MH dolls. I charge too little for them. The same thing happens. And just today I had to pay $20 for shipping overseas at the cheapest the postal worker could get it. So I will be rethinking prices before the shop opens.

Communication: I am not sure how long I will have internet access and when it goes out, I don't know when I'll get it back. It shouldn't be TOO long, probably a few days at most if it does go out. Maybe even as little as a day. I am not positive, but I felt I should still mention it. If you have a commission from me in queue, do not worry. Just because I am moving doesn't mean I am abandoning anything. Fabrics and commission materials are the first thing I am making sure get's transferred over. So if you're messaging me and I don't get back to right away, I am just a little busy and will get back to you asap.

Entertainment/Recreation: I have gotten this before the last time I was in a 'need to move' situation. BUT, just because you see me playing a game or posting that I went out with friends doesn't mean I am not busy or that I am not working. Sometimes you really need to have time to relax in a stressful situation or you'll just blow up. I do hope you understand.

That being said, I should be around for another week or so before the move takes place. Just a heads up.

Take all the time you need and good luck. Question, do you have a youtube account? If you don't, you should post videos of you doing your art and other crafts, even video gaming. It can help you get some cash, especially since so many of people love your art and MH and all your other cool crafts! it's just an idea, but if you already do, Great! Good luck, I hope you can get settled in soon when you move.
