I Broke My Sewing Machine, Mermaid Community DRAMA, and Shop Status Update - STUDIO VLOG

Well I wasn't expecting this to happen when it did. The universe is definitely testing me right now and I am STEPPING UP.

Things are continuing to move along in the shop which is excellent. With the February deadline having passed, I am finally able to focus in on the tasks at hand! 🙌

I'm making excellent progress, though I am still behind. Instead of fighting to catch up, with everything else in my life I am dealing with, I am adjusting my timeline to alleviate some of the pressure on myself.
All remaining mermaid tails, that I have received measurements for, are now at the printer and in the queue. If you did not receive the February-please-get-me-your-measurements email, then I have your measurements and all is well!
Picture
I sincerely look forward to moving on from this measurements debacle and knowing that I have found a solution to this for future launches is giving me hope.

This is all part of the experience of running a business as an artist and how can you ever improve without making a few mistakes along the way?
That's all for me today my fishes! I'm wishing you a beautiful rest of your week and look forward to catching up with you all again soon! 💖

Happy Swimming!

A Difficult Decision to Make... ? | STUDIO VLOG

I had to make tough decision this week in regards to my business... Hopefully my new system/new plan can help smooth things out and hopefully we can all move forward.

​This is part of running a business and I promised you fishes I would always give it to you straight which is why I choose to share this all publicly. 💚💙
Picture
I have also now completed the monofin covers and I do need to make a few final tweaks to the sewing pattern, but otherwise we are GOOD TO GO!

Look for these beauties to arrive in the shop SOON!

​The fin skins (still debating on what to call them) are designed to work with the Mermaid Linden monofin and will match the leggings from my shop to give you the #SOmermaid look without the full tail skin restrictions/cost!

Can't wait for the launch!

Here's a quick look at the INCREDIBLE new window film that I mentioned in today's video!

I am absolutely in love with it! Every morning I walk into my office and immediately smile and the sparkling rainbows it creates!

If I had known it would be so easy and so inexpensive to do, and what a HUGE difference it would make to the look of my studio, I would have done this AGES ago!

Better late than never!

If you need a little something to bring a little extra sparkle to a space you spend a lot of time in, THIS IS THE STUFF!

New GoPro, Goggles, MERCH, and Sewing Tails VLOG

Hey my fishes and welcome back for another blog/vlog post!

In today's video we covered lots of updates (including shop updates) and looked at some of my new merch and some of the goodies I've made/received recently.

​Let's take a look!
Picture
Here is an in-progress look at all four of the colours that will be available in the shop! If you recall, the Fire Koi originally had different coloured fluke-lines and I opted to change them to a lighter colour because the darker grey just felt too different in comparison to the other fins.
In today's vlog I also mention that I've had a few things going on right now that are a bit out of my control and definitely impacting me as well as production...

Due to the fact that this current situation involves other people (who have asked me not to make things public on my social platforms), I am not able to go into great detail, but if you have good vibes to send, they would be appreciated! ♥

I hope you are all doing well and I look forward to catching up with you again in my next video!

Happy Swimming!

NEW YEAR, NEW MERCH!

Happy New Year my friends and fishes!

I am thrilled to announce the launch of a whole new series of items in the shop! The four collections include hoodies, swim tops, crop tops, sports bras, rash guards, leggings, shorts, AND MONOFIN COVERS (coming soon)! 🎉

Monofin covers you say? YES! They are designed for use with the Mermaid Linden monofin (adult size - non-folding version only at this time). I know there have been several of you who have been disappointed that I have not offered skins for the Linden monofin yet and I thought this would be the perfect way to do it!

Design with the lifestyle mer in mind, I wanted these fins to make mermaid life more accessible and easier for everyone! Maybe you are new to mermaiding and aren't ready for a full tail skin, or maybe you prefer the freedom of leggings with a monofin, or maybe you like the convenience of not having all the clean-up involved in full mermaid tail skin care!

I know how much I've been enjoying hitting the pool in leggings and a monofin recently and I thought this would be the perfect way to infuse a little extra mermaid magic into the experience!

​The covers have the added benefit of not requiring measurements which also simplifies the ordering process!
VISIT THE SHOP!
We will be starting off with four collections and expanding with new collections each year moving forward and like I said before, the monofin covers are still in production but all of the apparel is now LIVE over in the shop!

Wishing you all a beautiful start to 2022! 🥂

Happy Swimming!

Closed for the Holidays!

Well we made it, I sometimes can't believe it, but we did! 2021 is almost over and today is my last day in the office before my (much needed) holiday break!

I had an epic Fishmas photoshoot with Mermaid Zelda yesterday and I'll have a few more photos to share over on Instagram as we get closer to the big day!

I tried out a few different looks, but the red Fishmas sweatshirt and the red Santa hat sans-glasses was my fave! Mermaid Zelda took so many great shots it was really tough to narrow them down!

This year has been a year of experimentation as far as mermaid content and photoshoots are concerned.

I've learned that you don't necessarily need a pool to make mermaid magic happen!
Picture
With the Covid-of-it-all we've had to get creative and though it's been an up-hill battle at times, It's pushed me outside of my comfort zone and I'm finally learning how to work around obstacles I've been facing on an off for the last few years.

Well! It's time for me to get back to wrapping up loose ends, sending out emails, backing up my computers, organizing files and getting ready to go full mermaid-hermit for the next two weeks!


I CANNOT WAIT! 🎉

For now, that's where I leave you!

Happy Swimming!

Mermaid Arm Fins and Life Updates

Hello my fishes!

I finally have an update to share with you in regards to my new bracers! These will be available over the summer (if not sooner) and I am really pleased with how they have turned out so far.

I am still experimenting with the glitter top coat but as soon as I am sure it will hold up, I will let you know!

In this week's video (very late video oops) I gave a little bit of an update on my life and how things have been going.
I am still playing a bit of catch-up when it comes to work and life, but the sun being out today has really helped improve my mood.

I hope you enjoy today's video and I would love to hear your thoughts one what other colours you might like to see for the bracer launch. ♥

Happy Swimming!
