With Love For Dragon Age
When I say Dragon Age saved my life, I'm not exaggerating. It's not hyperbole. It's 100% factual. When I was at my lowest, I made a list in my head of things I would not be able to enjoy if I ended my life. This game was number one.
I won't be able to play the next Dragon Age game.
I won't be able to feel my husband's hugs.
I won't be able to hear my cat purring.
That was the order ever single time.
I haven't felt that way for about...four years now. When I got sick with covid in 2022, Dragon Age gave me more motivation to fight the disease (bed rest, lots of soup, neti pot, pneumonia breathing exercises), and I know it helped.
Between the three games, I have around 40k hours (or 4.56 years) of game time invested in it. I have all the books and graphic novels, the tarot deck, and more. This game is on a short list of things I'm well and truly passionate about.
Unfortunately, it looks like I won't be able to play until next year. Why?
Pay off Cacoa's vet bill from earlier this year - 50% there
Pay off at least half of another debt - $1619.20 left to pay on it right now, and it starts collecting interest in spring 2025.
Purchase a game console - XBox Series X, $500
Purchase the game - around $70, and I'm not pre-ordering. - Friend purchased it for me!!!
With your assistance, I can reach those goals. Selling two of my original paintings would take care of both the first and second goals. I have quilt listings starting at $20. There's also the option to commission me for a quilt, become a monthly supporter, or make a donation. I'm rather fond of having space for making new things, and my space is very limited, and the shop has many listings with more added almost every week right now, when I'm not working on commissions.
If I'm able to play this year, I will be ecstatic. Ideally, playing as part of my celebration for have less debt. We have another debt to pay off after this, but it's collecting no interest. Selling everything in my shop, however, would pay off everything on this list, plus that debt, and enough left to make home repairs (like replacing the plumbing).
If I reach goals one and two, totaling nearly $2k with the two combined, by October 1st, I'm having a massive giveaway. One when I reach my current goal, one when I reach the next one, and as celebration for reaching both by October 1st, a third giveaway.
Listen, my love for Dragon Age runs deep as the marrow in my bones. It was one of the very things that kept me from ending my life during the darker times of my life. I will be genuinely upset if I'm unable to play when the game is released, but I will be happy just to be able to play this year. My love for Dragon Age is incentive enough to offer free quilts.

I'll be working in my sewing room all day and would very much appreciate y'all sending me asks for my little breaks. Not sure what to send? Here are some ideas:
Tell me about a project you're working on or recently finished.
Did you recently reach a goal and want to share the news? Share it here!
Are you doing anything special for Halloween?
Please share slow cooker recipes! I'm vegan and on a gluten-free diet, so anything I can make in my slow cooker would be a welcomed recipe.
What are you looking forward to in the next two months?
Tell me about your pets, especially if they did something dumb recently. Dumb pets are the gifts that keep on giving.
You are not limited to that list, so no worries about that. Anon will remain unavailable until after the elections, possibly all the way through February 2025. I want anon to be an option for those who are shy, not for cowards sending me nasty asks full of hate and threats. If you're gonna say shit like that, say it with your whole chest and say it proud.
When I'm done with the current project, I'll be cleaning my sewing room and prepping for making some quick panel quilt tops. Unless I receive a commission, which would be nice. because I'm stressing out about paying off the last $640 of a $3k debt (water heater and installation). Only after it's paid off will I be able to save money for a game console to play Dragon Age The Veilguard. I'm rather upset I wasn't able to meet that goal yet, and too late to think I can do so before Halloween, when the game releases. I will have to blacklist all things Dragon Age so as not to suffer spoilers.
Yes, I am heartbroken, but all the more reason why I'm sewing so damn much. There's over $10k worth of my work listed in my shop, and it's hardly moved. If you would like to make my sad ass happy, go buy some of my stuff. If you're outside the US and considering purchasing anything from my shop as holiday gifts, keep in mind it may take 2-6 weeks to arrive if purchased now, and considerably longer if purchased after mid-November.
#chaosfay talks#I'm grumpy angry and the last two weeks have been absolute shit. it's been a crappy year but with some high notes that made easier#to cope with. but the last two weeks have been especially bad. am I okay? Nope. but i'm coping and doing the best I can as I am.#but I will be a grumpy insufferable little shit until I pay off the debt and buy an XBox Series X for myself. I looked up the price for#a used one on three different websites and it's whole $50 less than a new one. That's hardly worth buying a used one.#we'll likely be waiting until the biggest shopping season begins and order one online. there's no way I can go into a store when#holiday shopping season begins. That shit is a fucking nightmare. Especially now with only a fraction of us wearing a mask.#and some assholes have tried pulling my mask off my face to “free my smile.” WTF? I've been using a mask since 2017 due to the severity#of my asthma. anyway I'm stressed out with few outlets. please distract me.

We're at 46% now! If the goal is reached by October 16th, I'm giving away TWO lap size quilts of up to 50x50 inches. We need just $1k to pay this off, so I'm hosting a sale for 25% off everything in my shop.
We need to pay this off before we can start saving money for an XBox Series X and copy of the game. PLEASE HELP! Share this on social media, share it with your friends, and if you've purchased/received my work in the past, please reblog with your review(s) and pictures of the quilt(s) in their new home. THANK YOU!!!!!

Updated because we were able to pay off Cacoa's bill today, thanks to someone purchasing from my shop this morning. THANK YOU!!!! I'll be drawing the name of the giveaway prize for a single serving placemat and coaster set today.
The new goal is set, and the extra money left from purchase has been rolled into it. We are starting at 12% of the goal. When it's reached, the winner will receive a lap size quilt of up to 50x50 inches, and may choose from my shop or have one custom made, and entirely for free. If the winner wants something smaller, I'll be happy to provide.
THANK YOU!!!

Purchase the game - around $70, and I'm not pre-ordering.
With your assistance, I can reach those goals. Selling two of my original paintings would take care of both the first and second goals. I have quilt listings starting at $20. There's also the option to commission me for a quilt, become a monthly supporter, or make a donation. I'm rather fond of having space for making new things, and my space is very limited, and the shop has many listings with more added almost every week right now, when I'm not working on commissions.
If I'm able to play this year, I will be ecstatic. Ideally, playing as part of my celebration for have less debt. We have another debt to pay off after this, but it's collecting no interest. Selling everything in my shop, however, would pay off everything on this list, plus that debt, and enough left to make home repairs (like replacing the plumbing).
If I reach goals one and two, totaling nearly $2k with the two combined, by October 1st, I'm having a massive giveaway. One when I reach my current goal, one when I reach the next one, and as celebration for reaching both by October 1st, a third giveaway.
Listen, my love for Dragon Age runs deep as the marrow in my bones. It was one of the very things that kept me from ending my life during the darker times of my life. I will be genuinely upset if I'm unable to play when the game is released, but I will be happy just to be able to play this year. My love for Dragon Age is incentive enough to offer free quilts.

Woooot! 28% and just days away from the three quilt giveaway if it's reached by October 1st.
There's plenty in my shop that will bring us to the goal. Please, purchase my work. You'll have a chance to receive one of three quilts. Yay for free stuff!
With Love For Dragon Age
When I say Dragon Age saved my life, I'm not exaggerating. It's not hyperbole. It's 100% factual. When I was at my lowest, I made a list in my head of things I would not be able to enjoy if I ended my life. This game was number one.
I won't be able to play the next Dragon Age game.
I won't be able to feel my husband's hugs.
I won't be able to hear my cat purring.
That was the order ever single time.
I haven't felt that way for about...four years now. When I got sick with covid in 2022, Dragon Age gave me more motivation to fight the disease (bed rest, lots of soup, neti pot, pneumonia breathing exercises), and I know it helped.
Between the three games, I have around 40k hours (or 4.56 years) of game time invested in it. I have all the books and graphic novels, the tarot deck, and more. This game is on a short list of things I'm well and truly passionate about.
Unfortunately, it looks like I won't be able to play until next year. Why?
Pay off Cacoa's vet bill from earlier this year - 50% there
