She/her; I like sparkles, dragons, and MAD SCIENCE: I make stuff that looks pretty, smells good, and/or goes clickyclack. I talk about my dogs and nerd shit equally.

After spending two weeks totally emptying, deep cleaning, and reorganizing the Sparklepalace, I have ended up with an entire open shelving unit. You know what means: NEW CRAFTS

In the process of cleaning the workshop I have now binged the entirety of Hazbin Hotel and 1) why didn’t anyone tell me this shit was a theatre nerd’s dream 2) whyyyyyy is everything the same color palette how can I make Hazbin eyeshadow when they are all RED and WHITE

The first time Mr Cal came to a con I was working and saw me at table he spent the entire rest of the day staring at me with wide frightened bunny eyes. “Who ARE you???” “Acting. For capitalism.”

I'm an introvert who is very good at crowd work. When I'm done doing an event, I go and hang out in a room by myself to recharge.

I’m???? A brilliant genius??????

In the process of cleaning out the workshop I have discovered like a dozen stunningly beautiful resin cabochons I have ZERO recollection of pouring

I am at the point in my reorg rebuild where ADHD is like ‘welp that’s it just close the business there will never be a functioning workshop again’ IE, about halfway through

So uh if you have an order with me it is going to be a little late because I am a big dumb with absolutely no conception of time or space

I’ve been trying to restructure and reorganize the Sparklepalace for “this is my full time gig now, so efficiency” instead of “creatively fulfilling side hustle, so stuff is just fucking everywhere” and I am dyyyyiiing whyyyy did I do this whyyyyy

Who is a badass with every single shiny democracy sticker in the mail today? THIS GIRL

Actual seats are for less majestic plebs, apparently.

The purpose of stickers is to Never Use Them so that when you die your friends can put them on your coffin

I got an official strike on my account because Zagtoons flipped their shit that I used Ladybug characters as polish inspiration (not infrigement!) but AI fanart of notoriously litigious companies is totally A-OK now?

Absolutely disgusting! www.cbr.com/etsy-ai-sale...

A.I. Art Allowed to be Sold on Etsy in New Policy Announcementwww.cbr.com Etsy has revealed its new sales policy on A.I. artwork, and the company will continue to allow it be sold, with some interesting limitations

Got the first DEMOCRACY DICE specs today and y’all. Y’all are not prepared for how amazing this is going to be. PS opening with “this may be too weird an idea” is like a dare. I once molded tiny 8mm crinkle French fries for a Cleric to an agriculture god, I LOVE WEIRD, IT IS MY FAVORITE

My job this morning: frantically googling “how to mass Gmail template 187 times”

I’ll do an official post and newsletter and all tomorrow but if you are awake and have been waiting there are finally some little dragony book friends in the shop 👀📚🧶 measuredandslow.studio/shop/eizn633...

I should note: this is a two year-old house. It ALSO has Victorian gingerbread in the eaves.

There is a house in the neighborhood next to mine that is an absolutely bananapants mishmash of 150 years of architecture. Like Palladian columns holding up a Beaux Arts widow’s walk under a Craftsman roof bananapants. The only possible explanation is vampires.

We have already just admitted we are indeed doing this again in 2026 so start planning!

One of my favorite things about RTV is for the third time now I have to go into the office with the fancy bookshelves for the fancy books and be all “hey um we need to rearrange again”

This!!!! Cover!!!!

Launch day!

ok but their combo moves are pretty sick

[REDACTED] IS ALL “YOU, WITH ME” TO [REDACTED], AND [REDACTED] APPROVES OF THAT, BECAUSE IF ANYTHING MAKES SENSE, IT’S THE TWO OF THEM DOING SICK COMBO MOVES About to turn in a book with a whole-ass battle scene that just says things like this. I am a professional.

My breakfast buddy is the cutest.

On the one hand it’s so hot I had to get up at 5:30 to walk the dogs. On the other, stealing the child’s kickboard to use as a table in the pool is pretty great. Also Bree is a genius, cold brew with chocolate milk has changed my life.

THE ANTICIPATION IS KILLIIIING MEEEEE
