#ThrowbackThursday to my second flat felt plushie I created 2 years ago when I had just come up with the concept and the name “Pocket Pals” and I was still very new to sewing, having started 2 months earlier.
The stitching is wonky, the thread I used for the embroidery and assembly was way too thick, but I actually still really love this little guy! I think the overall design is pretty well made!

My digital pet bag charms collection represents the life cycle of our retro pixelated friends. They’re a bit challenging, but super fun to make!

Which one is your favourite?

You can adopt them on my website https://evanskyarts.com/en/collections/keychains-and-bag-charms

Look, I'll do big arms, and the rest of you just look at me and go "ooh, they're doing big arms," alright?

Made an account for pixelfed.art, but wasn't aware that the instance doesn't support videos. So that's really unfortunate, most of my work includes animations.

I’ve been desperately trying to assemble all the items I have already cut the felt for ages ago. Once that’s done, I will need to remake some keychains. THEN, I will finally be able to start working on my little magnets!
I swear I am so excited to drop them but my part time job takes up most of my mornings and it’s slowing me down so much

I missed posting this yesterday.

One of my favorite pocket pals to date!

I'm relatively new to #Mastodon and #ActivityPub in general, but I think I learned something yesterday: apparently post privacy is not at all guaranteed and it's up to server implementations to decide who may see your Mastodon posts.

It all started with this recent "private posts leak" in #Pixelfed

https://fokus.cool/2025/03/25/pixelfed-vulnerability.html

Private posts meant only to a Mastodon account's followers were visible in Pixelfed. This is bad.

A photo on pixelfed, where I have 5 followers, half of which are my other accounts, has more likes than the same photo on Instagram, where I have 3500. How has Meta so thoroughly destroyed what was once a good app?

#AskFedi:
Does #Pixelfed not allowing blocking or reporting?

I haven't found a way to block an account, and my report was stopped with an unidentified error.

Duck keychains are back in stock with a slightly improved design (basically the beak is a bit bigger, cleaner and more defined) and new pictures!
