Whew! We decided to take the winter off from making toys to work on personal projects and our have some time to rest from our day jobs. We both work at nonprofits and the last couple months of the year are always sooo busy for the sector. We’ve been enjoying having some time for ourselves and to experiment with some things like this cute sweater that Qira is modeling. 🥰

We are juuuuust starting to make some new toys and are looking forward to doing some markets this spring! Let us know if there are any toys you’d like us to get back in stock and we will try to make it happen 😘

We are also creeping up on 500 followers here on Instagram. I’d love to do a giveaway when we reach that goal so make sure to tell your cat-loving friends to give us a follow!
