IMAGE DESCRIPTION:
A three panel black and white comic. Panel one: Piper, a non-binary person with short hair, is holding a rat in their hands and looking at her. Piper says "You're the cutest thing I've ever seen in my life".
Panel two shows the rat boggling, there are three images of the same rat in this panel, in the first their left eye is tiny and their right eye is medium sized, in the second their right eye is huge and the left eye is small, and in the third image the left eye is huge and the right eye is small. The words "boggle boggle" are around each image.
Panel three: Similar to panel one except now Piper looks concerned. They say "... ok that was really weird but my point still stands".

Two shoulder rats for the hubby! 🥰

The hubby and I picked up three 4-month old baby girls today from our fellow Philly Rat Rescue friend/foster mom. These are surprisingly the first ever mischief of girls I’ve ever adopted. In the 13+ years I’ve adopted rats, I have only ever fostered a handful of females. Can’t wait to give them a full and happy life with us. 🥰

Catching up on posting a collection of custom orders since January. I have done a lot of cage liners sets, too many photos to share here so keep an eye out for another post soon.

Some other exciting news, I reached on FB group to find some extra help and have been chatting with a few experienced seamstresses and sent off some materials for them to make some samples. Really looking forward to working with them and being able to get more premade items stocked up and fulfill my custom orders much quicker. I know it can be hard waiting patiently, sometimes a couple of weeks for your order! So hopefully soon you won’t have to wait as long. 😁

Thank you to all my new customers and especially to all my loyal repeat customers. My little shop is growing because of you all!! 💜💜💜

Wasabi is a spoiled noodle. His mom got his oddles of new cage accessories, I call it the Jumbo Ferret Bundle. He’s a chonky boi and we went XL and XXL for most of his hammocks and hideouts. I think he’s enjoying them and they don’t even look like the got hung up yet. 😂🥰 Now to work on the other three sets!!

I’m looking for someone who is interested in some sewing work (local to me in Wilmington, DE a big plus). I have a small handmade pet accessories online shop and business has been picking up. I make hammocks, hideouts, and cage liners mostly for small pets like ferrets, guinea pigs, chinchillas, etc. Please let me know if you’d like more info. Thank you!

Had a fun day at the library Winter Market. Got to see some familiar faces and meet lots of cool folks. A sort of surprise visit from my Aunt Wilma. Thanks so much for coming and hanging with me!!

I got to meet the makers from a couple different small businesses like BusyLadyCrochet and more. Plus afterwards I went over as saw my friend Simone at at Glasgow Barn to get some amazing artisan soaps we love.

If you are in Delaware and want to support more local business, please check them out! 💜💜💜

It's been a crazy busy couple of months—moving, setting up my new workspace, going to vendor events, puppies. All the while, I've been keeping up with custom orders, plus working on my inventory of premade products. Thank you to all my customers, hope you critters are keeping cozy and happy!

Upgraded my cutting table setup. 😁 Still a work in progress—I have someone local designing me a permanent working table with nice shelves and storage. In the meantime, I found a banquet table for just $25 and got it propped up using folding table raisers. And today my 3’x6’ SpeedPress cutting mat arrived. Haven’t used the mat yet, but I’m gonna hope the quality is good and excited to try it out. 🤩 Definitely gonna be nice having such a large working surface. I feel like the photo doesn’t do it justice.
