Happy (Almost) Mother's Day!

Hi, everyone! I have lots of updates for you all! Super exciting

[Aesthetics] First of all, we're no longer blue! I finally was able to find a color palette that worked well enough with what I initially envisioned. I do plan on making it more "cave-like" in the future (if I can figure it out).

[UI] There are examples you can look through on slideshows I will be updating over time or even just create a page for in the future. I've also taken out the option of custom work and replaced them with blank items. DON'T WORRY, THOUGH! The option of custom work is still there. The way this will work now is if I were to buy a custom piece, I would just have to email the vendor (Me, Torchlit) or go onto our Shop page and click on "Commission Consultation" and schedule a meet through there. It's completely free of charge and is only there so you can get a quick response on a quote. Speaking of which, I've added a more cohesive menu system. A lot of the options are duplicated at the moment since a lot of categories overlap, but everything should be up there! Once more items drop, I'll input a new system so it doesn't look as cluttered. This leads me to my next update:

[Items] WE HAVE PET SWEATERS NOW!!! With the help of a very lovely friend, we test ran a pattern and. it. WORKED! Super happy about that. It may take a little more tweaking in the future, but, for now, I'm very proud of it! We also have sizes XS, and S in our shirts in stock. I've also been taking up a little bit of knitting so I can make better pet sweaters (and more), but, for now, I can make one heck of a beanie. We have 3 separate listings for striped, solid, and reversable beanies due to the limitations on options in one listing. I still have to upload photos and such for these, but we're getting there!

[Pop-ups] I've been working on communicating with some people and shows to hopefully get some slots into some events. Whatever most sells over there will be the next product I put on the website! I will also be leaving a sheet for people to vote for their favorite product in case they can't afford it. My hands have been hurting from all the crocheting I've been doing, but I'm just so motivated and excited!

[Bad news] Unfortunately, I am no longer going to be stocking anything until I get what I have out of the house. Once something is gone, it's going to be gone for at least 6 months I predict. I would love to expand more, but it's too much product with not enough space. This also gives me motivation to focus on things like TikTok / advertising and coming up with new ideas. Speaking of social media, I'm also locked out of my Instagram with no way of contacting them... It's been quite annoying as that's what I've been using as a portfolio, but I'm trying my best to get it fixed.

To brighten things up a little bit, I do have one last major announcement! A good friend of mine has opened up a leatherworking business and I've offered to provide a slot on my website! His work is fantastical in nature and reminds me a lot of renaissance fairs. You can some some examples of his work on my Instagram (@Torchlit_Threads). He is still working on his products, adding to his portfolio, and perfecting his craft, but I'd highly suggest giving him a look. Check him out under Wildman Wares on Facebook or click the link to send you straight there!

We also have a fun little scavenger hunt that leads to codes for discounts on the page! Good luck!

Hopefully I didn't miss anything! Hope you all have a good mothers day :)
