Hey, everyone!

I thought I'd let y'all know that my mom and oldest sister will be selling my fidget toys again, this time at the Sunflower Festival, which is this weekend.

Just like last time, you'll find them at J&C Handmade.

Reminder: I still have fidgets in stock, so please comment or message me if you want some.

They cost $2.00 a piece and they're small enough to carry around in your bag or pockets.

My mom and oldest sister may sell some for me at the Sunflower Festival next month.

If you live in Manitoba and wanna purchase my fidget toys, please let me know and we will figure out the details. I still have a lot of them in stock.

My mom and oldest sister may sell them at a sale in July.

I'll keep y'all updated.

Carman Pride was fantastic!

A few people purchased some of my fidget toys, I helped guide the march and set stuff up, and my speech made a good impact.

I'm looking forward to the next pride festival already!

Happy Pride Month, everyone!

I'll be at Carman Pride this Saturday. Come hear my speech and talk to me!

My mom and oldest sister will be selling my fidgets for me. You'll find them at J&C Handmade.

I'll continue to sell afterwards.

I recently received more pieces for Wacky Tracks.

No black or pastel pieces, but I'll order more eventually so that I can represent more flags.

Some more Wacky Tracks should be arriving in a couple of days.

I ordered several pairs of random assortments. I hope I'll get more black pieces and pastel pieces.

I found these wicker baskets at a thrift store.

They're gonna be great for holding fidget toys at sales.

#pridefidgets #baskets #wickerbaskets #thrifty #thriftstore #wicker #thrift #thriftshop

Two rows of round, wicker baskets without handles. The bottom two baskets are slightly more brown.

Which flags would you like to see me turn into fidgets?

You may request alternate flags of identities or lesser known identities.

There will be limitations since I don't have and may not be able to find some colours, but I'll see what I can do.

Today's International Asexuality Day.

These are the ace-spec fidget toys I've made so far.

Hopefully, I'll have enough colours and pieces to make more identities sometime.

New Wacky Tracks are in stock: A couple of transmasculine ones, an asexual one, and three transgender ones that are more accurate!

I'm gonna order some new types of fidget toys eventually.

I also wanna look for some inspiration in my hometown when I get paid next week.

Looking forward to adding more variety.

A good friend of mine asked if I could make Tangles for disability pride and system pride.

I had enough pieces to make a system pride one, but I'll need more for the disability pride one.

A DID (dissociative identity disorder) system Tangle.

I made a couple of aroace Tangles and panromantic Tangles while watching Batman: The Animated Series.

The first pic is of a new variation of the non-binary Tangle.

A non-binary Tangle with golden yellow and light purple pieces.

An aroace Tangle. I tried to get it as accurate as possible.

A panromantic Tangle. (The version of the flag with blue, green, orange and red.)

I decided to make a variation of the rainbow Tangles using different pieces (first photo).

The second photo is for a comparison.

#pridefidgets #fidgets #fidgettoys #pride #toys #rainbow #showyourpride #beproud #beyou #beyourself #colourful #colorful #colours #colors

A rainbow Tangle with mostly lighter colours; the yellow pieces are more of a golden yellow.

A rainbow Tangle whose pieces are all darker except for the yellow ones. The red, orange and green pieces have different textures while the yellow, blue and purple ones are smooth.

I have enough pieces to make extra Wacky Tracks, so I'm gonna make more than what I had planned.

Just finished making a rainbow one and more bisexual ones.

I've decided to make a bunch more of the Wacky Tracks.

I'm gonna make 5 more of the ones that represent the more common labels.
