We had our most sales ever this weekend at the Arkansas Renaissance Festival. My better half and I are humbled and honored that so many would travel from as far as 12 hours away (wild!) to visit our shoppe and take something we made home with them. Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts. #renfaire

I make things.

You buy my things.

I am not a corporation.

I take the $$ you gave me for my handmade things, and
commission a painting of my renfaire shoppe from a mutual.

The money goes from my pocket to another maker's pocket.

Here's the WIP they sent me:

The most surprising thing about becoming a vendor at a renfaire is how few #Discworld fans I encountered. I thought I would discover more kindred literary spirits, but alas it is not so...and so I have all five of these available: ko-fi.com/builtbybittle

One summer in college I lived in an apartment a few blocks away from this statue.

“Do not draw me without reason. Do not wield me without valor.”

This is one of parent's cats Mia, or as I call her "Dirtbaby". She was diagnosed with diabetes about four months ago and despite daily insulin shots is just a walking bag of bones. So instead of climbing me when I visit she meows until I pick her up and carry her around.

I just said this out loud while filling up my wife's cup. I heard her eyes roll from two rooms away.

Aaaaand, one of you amazing people already bought it.

I am beginning to list the few things I have left after the end of the renfaire season. Next item, the last of my #LOTR "Speak Friend" wooden signs. The lettering is engraved deeply (and greedily) into the solid pine. ko-fi.com/builtbybittle

A wooden sign with the words "speak friend and enter" engraved in it.

Since none of my friends or family follow me on Bluesky, you all get to see the more unhinged things I make. :)

Probably will. Just recorded a "look at this mess" tour already.

Burn, baby burn! Scrapwood inferno! (That's not even half of it.)

First step, make it so I can walk in the back door again.

Hey, you. You're finally awake...
I sold a Skyrim carve within the 1st hour of the 1st day of the Renfaire this year. However, after employing my "hydra head" method of inventory management, the two carvings did not sell.

So now they're available: ko-fi.com/builtbybittl...
