Update, I had a little run on knotted loveys so the only one left is the dino! I will try to restock these before Christmas but if you’ve been eyeing getting one now is the time ☺️. These are all baby-safe and made with washable yarn!

Good morning, it is Small Business Saturday and I am, indeed, a small business! So small it’s just me and whichever intern (child) I can bribe into helping me. I sell pretty cute textiles, 3D printed goodies, and stickers ☺️ #bsnm #smallbusiness

Lol we’d have to ship him from Seattle but he’s small so he’d probably be cheap? 😆

I switched the filament for the face and I felt like pink went better for the hat, and now he’s just about perfect. Also I forgot to show y’all a really important detail the last time 🤭 #3Dprinting

Today Jack is NOT thankful for this stupid loom which is occupying HIS lap even though he has yelled about it extensively 😠🧶 #weaving

Also my littlest intern was helping me today and it made me wonder so I went back and looked, and this sweet baby has been helping me weave since they were 2, which probably explains why they took to it pretty much right away when they got their own loom 🥹🧶 #weaving

So it turns out I was doing it wrong (two color weavings load one color on EACH SIDE, fyi, it makes it much easier to carry colors!!) and now I have to formally apologize to floating selvedges. My bad. I still like plain weave edges better but I will stop abusing your name now 😅🧶 #weaving

Good morning, I have a new dragon and egg up (there is now a pencil dragon/notepaper egg and a notepaper dragon/pencil egg because I am both extra and thorough) AND new shimmer alicorns! If you get 3 of them you can make a sweet album cover lol #bsnm

Oh also! This is the last thing I swear (for today lol), but I also restocked a bunch of big dragons, if you really need a showstopper for yourself or someone else this holiday!

Also these get less excitement usually but I also have a whole bunch of plushie friends up for adoption, most of which are baby-safe (no plastic parts) and all of which have a lifetime stuffie repair guarantee just in case ☺️ measuredandslow.studio/shop?categor...

I updated both the mini dragons and the mini dragon/egg combos today so there are tons of new colors including the notepaper one with a little pencil colored egg! These make great gifts or stocking stuffers 👀☺️ #bsnm

My youngest child, shoulder-surfing: “Wait…why are they making what YOU make? Did they steal your thing?!”

Friends! If you joined the Tree-Rex waitlist this year and did not hear from me, please check your spam folder!! There were lots of no replies this year, which I suspect is bc AI spam sorting got a little overzealous. You may have an email from me waiting ☺️🧶 #bsnm

Would you like more cute transit news bc I’m here to tell you that we have a regional transit card that you use on buses/trains/ferries called the Orca Card, which has a mascot that is (you’ll never guess) an Orca, and his name is BOOP bc that’s the sound it makes when you tap your card 😭
