Water Tribbles

"On Vacation" continued, *but!*

My health issues have gotten pretty intense lately.
♿️
I'm not healthy enough to keep up with checking messages and fulfilling orders. I'm not healthy enough for craft booth events, even with a lot of volunteer help.

However, some of my artwork, pin cushions, alcohol ink sets, and more are in Topsfield at a gift shop:
Perfectly Imperfect Gift Shoppe on 30 Main Street in Topsfield, MA.

Sorry I'm not more available.
I hope in a year or two to be able to be more responsive.
However, even doing all I'm able with PT and OT, it looks like it's not in the cards for 2025.

Thank you, -Lauren

Something I use to help me heal, Physically and Psychologically, is Artwork!
Creating it functions as Occupational Therapy, and it helps me get my ideas out without needing words (a major struggle).

I normally give 10% from what I earn w/my art and craft creations.
From now until March 1st, I want to give 20%!
10% for Trevor Project + 10% for MIRA!

Jewelry for all Genders,
Self-Sharpening Pin Cushions,
Upcycled "Liquid Sharpie" Alcohol Ink sets,
Upcycled Textiles,
Water Tribbles (marimo algae balls in repurposed glassware),
Magnets made from my Paintings,
Blank Cards made from Paintings, Collage, and/or Glitter Pouches,
Hand-Painted Expansions for Board Games,
Wax Wraps for leftovers,
and more!

I've got my goodies on Etsy, The Perfectly Imperfect Gift Shoppe, and Northeast Arc's Parcels gift shop!

I finally had a healthy enough day to go up to the craft shop :)
I'll be occupied with surgeries and healthcare for a few months, but hope to be back up at craft tables this Fall!

** Update! I'm good to go! **
Dani, my sweetheart, will schlep the heavy stuff for me.
Anybody who volunteers to help me at my booth gets something free, as always!
I'm not sure how much energy or talking ability I'll have. However, I'll be there!
Happy Pride!! 🏳️‍⚧️❤️🏳️‍🌈🥰🎉

Hey, Water Tribble fans! 🙂
I'm doing a Craft Booth and Water Tribble table at Pride one time this year!*
Chelmsford, MA has a lovely Weekly Market.
On June 1st, 11am to 2pm, I'm joining the Market with a Craft Booth, Banner, Flags, and other surprise goodies to celebrate Pride!
🏳️‍⚧️♥️🏳️‍🌈🎨🎉♿️♻️♾️🥰

*I hope to attend. There's a chance I won't feel well enough, after a surgery this upcoming week. I hope to do a minimal craft booth with my "God Loves Their Q***r Kids" banner up, at least. Fingers crossed!

I'm bringing my Art with Lauren and Water Tribbles to share with everyone!
I'll have Jewelry for All Genders made from my Paintings, including lots of Pronoun Pins, earrings, and more.
I'll also bring my new Hand-Painted Expansion Kits for Catan and Betrayal board games!
As always, Hugs, Healing, and Apologies from this Q***r Christian are Free at my booth! 🏳️‍⚧️♥️🏳️‍🌈
***rKids so much!!

I'm doing lots of medical appointments and surgeries these next few months.
So, if you can't make it to Chelmsford's Market on June 1st, where should you go?
Whenever you want to see my Water Tribbles in person, I recommend visiting The Perfectly Imperfect Gift Shoppe in Topsfield, MA!
30 Main Street in Topsfield - it's the grooviest little gift shop around!
It's the plaza, with tons of parking, that also includes a hardware store, a Curves, the delicious Bagel Bin, and other lovely shops!

I'll update my YouTube channel soon with lots of Water Tribble content.
Subscribe to see everything I create as it goes live!

Remember, friends:
Give your Water Tribbles a "spa day" once a month!
Change out half the water and add a pinch of salt. ❤
