New Laser Cut Felt Shapes
If you follow on social media, you've probably noticed we've started offering laser cut felt shapes! But wait, most of those aren't beasts at all! That's true, but there a lot of things in the world and we imagine our Little Beast enjoy seasonal decorating as much as we do =) We made our first set of felt shapes a bit before Halloween, to cheer up our space and ourselves. Being at home almost 100% of the time due to the pandemic starts to get you down after a while. It was surprising how much adding a couple of seasonal felt banners...
Squshies is now Little World of Beasts
Squshies is now Little World of Beasts! It's a big change but one we're super excited to have made. It's been in the works for years. Why the change? Put simply the name 'Squshies' name has become problematic over the years. It was hard to pronounce. It was hard to spell and was constantly being auto-corrected. It also stopped making a whole of sense. The name Squshies came from the combination of the words “square” and “plushie”. Our felt animals started with very boxy and square designs.

Adventure Club - 2 Week Break
I was hoping to get the next Adventure Club up and running without a break between storeis, but I'm still a bit behind where I wanted to be before posting the next adventure.

So here's hoping!
Coming Soon! - Squshie Felt Patches
I'm super excited to share a project we've been working on!
At shows we get asked about the possibility of putting Squshies on all kinds of things like hats, bags, and t-shirts. These are all things we would love see to Squshies on, but not feasible for us to make ourselves.
Art Fighting Hate
For the past week Jason has been making silly little doodles and I've been painting them. They're quick. They're fun and they're good practice. These little doodle paintings have also been a nice and much needed source of relief from the onslaught of horrible news these days.
We want to do something to help while we make cute little doodles, so we're participating in #artfightinghate (started by Jeff Courturier) And doing our silly doodles as commissions for people who donate at least $25 to a charity that is fighting against hate.
