#when I'm able to play I'll be taking the break from sewing and quilting my body has been demanding from me for months now

[creations-by-chaosfay]

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'm working on painting again, and will be painting during my, now very necessary, breaks. My new goal is to aquire more colors, but you have the option if purchasing the paint directly. All shop purchases are donations will be going towards bills and then paints.

I will be rotating between sewing and painting, but only after I start se2ing again. Making new quilts won't happen until probably mid-February. I made quilts virtually nonstop from Februry to October 2024 because we were so desperate for money. Especially when Cacoa (RIP), my service animal, kept falling ill. She passed away at age 18 years (spent entirely as my constant companion) in November 2024.

Making so many quilts with no more than two week breaks when my left wrist and hand hurt resulted in tendonitis from my hand to my shoulder. Recovery started in November 2024, and made more complicated by my having hEDS. I'm restricted to painting and playing video games until the tendonitis is healed. I will also be restricted to no more than 10 hours each week for quilt making. Thankfully, I now have the means to machine quilt. After practice pieces, I'll be able to make quilts in a fraction of the time I used take, and thus less stress on my joints and more quilts in the shop.

Thank you for your help, and for your patience, as I recover.

After I have the paints, I'll post a new goal. Here's the list, and you can purchase these from my Throne list, with the option of anonymously.

Stationary bike

Non-slip stickers for my rulers

New rulers

Filing cabinet - not listed

Printer

Quilt storage bags

Rotary blades

Tea

Sewing machine foot collection

Stationary mixer

Shelving for my sewing room - not listed, for vertical storage because the room is so small.

Paints for my dining room - not listed

Shelving for the living room - not listed

Shelving for the dining room - not listed

A second and possibly third pair of shoes - I own a single pair of shoes because trying on shoes is a sensory nightmare. I would like to get a pair of boots for gardening as well.

Shelving for my husband's "man-cave" - not listed

New switch/power board thing to replace the overworked one that came with the house - not listed

Replace our plumbing - not listed, we may receive financial aid for this due to my being Disabled; there's a program in my area for this.

Repair the wall heating units - one just blows air, not heat.

Commissions of both my cats - Jasper (age 14) passed away in November 2022, Cacoa (age 18) precisely two years later, on the same day.

Small Update

When I'm able to do any sewing, I'll begin with the giveaway prizes first.

After I finish the prizes, I'll make at least three panel quilts in order to practice using the quilting frame and new machine I'll be using from now on. Handquilting will be for personal pieces, some gifts, and commissions if the client is willing to pay extra for it.

The panel quilts will be listed with a steep discount because they're practice and my machine quilting won't be that great. The discounts will become smaller with each quilt though.

After the panel quilts are done, and I'm confident in my skills, I'll open commissions.

There will likely be a max of three slots available, as well as quilt options I can finish within three weeks without putting too much stress on myself, especially my hands and wrists.

If a client wants handquilting done, I'll create a specific listing for them. Handquilting is why I currently have tendonitis from my left hand all the way up to my elbow. On top of that, I have hEDS. The price will increase by 50% seeing as the work is more demanding. A piece that would take 30 hours total may exceed to over 100 hours and require a long break afterward for my body to recover.

I likely won't have commissions open until June 2025. Regardless of how many slots I have available, commissions will close in November. Earlier if all slots have been taken.

The current price of my work is $27/hour. I'm giving myself a raise and will charge $28/hour. The cost of my work, for those confused about pricing, is as follows: $28/hour + cost of materials used (thread, needles, pins, fabric, batting, rotary blades, etc) = finished price.

For handquilted pieces: $28/hour + cost of materials x 50% increase in cost = final price.

I'm currently unable to work on anything until probably February due to tendonitis. Symptoms showed up in April 2024, and I would take a week or two off to help my body recover. Otherwise I was just work work work. We were financially strapped due to emergencies, and it all started with an ice storm tearing the gutters off and putting what may as well have been an entire tree on our house. 10 months without a real break. The pain got to be too much in November. I'm in physical therapy (PT) now, and learned having hEDS makes me more likely to develop tendonitis. It also means I have to keep my brace in as much as possible until they say otherwise. My joints are wobbly, and we'll be working to teach my muscles to work like splints. My wrists are at the top of the list right now.

Now, I'm going to spend the next couple of months recovering and healing. Soon, I may have the paint I favor and will be able to occupy myself with something other than reading and playing video games. ADHD and boredom do not play well together.

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!!!

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 - I have an XBox One, and it can't play this game.

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.
