It’s not…
Published On: February 3, 2025

‘But what’s it for?’ is officially one of my top three least favorite questions. Sometimes it’s not *for* anything.

It’s just…a little dude. A little guy. A little buddy. A little thing that you can make and hold and play with. And yeah, sure, fine. You can probably find something to do with it (it makes a pretty spectacular bracelet or hair ornament or curtain tie back or book mark or plant tie or bow on a present or half a dozen things I’m sure I haven’t thought of yet but am completely confident that some of you will discover).

But it’s not *for* those things. It’s for making and holding and posing and playing with and having something soft and wiggly and friendly to play with when your hands need to be busy and the world feels like a dumpster fire and you just need a little something soothing for just a moment so you don’t give in to the despair just yet.

And it doesn’t need to be for anything more than that! It can just exist because it’s neat (cough, just like you, cough). It’s just…soft and nice and pretty and fun to play with. And that’s enough!

P.S. It’s likely also going to sneak into the inboxes of anyone hanging out with me on Patreon when it goes live some time in the next few days…you know, in case that’s the sort of thing you might be into. I don’t know exactly when, but anyone who’s on there at any level (yes, even the free one) when it goes live will get it!
