Whimsical Squid Creations is the lovingly crafted products of a re-enactor, cosplayer & general nerd. Don’t know if I make it? Just ask!

Whimsical Squid Creations is the lovingly crafted products of a cosplayer, re-enactor and all-around geeky crafter! Based in Guelph, Ontario, Canada and specializing with sewn items, I offer plushies, bags, hats, wall hangings and many other things. I’m always open to suggestions and may be able to do a custom order if you don't quite find what you need!

Part 3!
Ah, a nice bat-sized roost. That’s better! Suitably secured upside down, time for Flappy to catch some afternoon Z’s.
(Oooh! And the crowd is even throwing snacks! 🍅🥔)

Part 2!
With his stomach thoroughly stuffed, our friend (“Call me Flappy!”) needed to go have a nap to sleep off the overindulgence before he continued on. Predictably, he wouldn’t hear of stretching out in the shade on the grass, but he needed somewhere he could properly hang out underneath. Hmmm, the aerialist rig looks great but it’s currently in use… what else do they suspend things from at a Renfaire?

With a gap to fill, time at last for this year’s Oxford Renaissance Festival plush adventure!

Ah, fall. The crisp sunny days, the changing leaves, the bounties of fruit and pears and pumpkins, and the preparation of many critters for their long winter’s nap!
This year at Oxford, we were joined by a flappy friend who was determined to get ready in the best possible way! We suggested he start by packing on the calories, and instead of moths and mosquitoes, he could hit up the food Vendors and indulge in a much sweeter cheesecake treat.

The shop is still closed (but I *am* taking local/inside-Canada orders through email/PM!), and I’m not even sure if I’ll have a show to sell at this Xmas season since my first plan fell through and I only found out when most markets are already full and closed for applications.
In summary, I have No Idea what December will bring. And my foot still isn’t back to normal yet (I am, however, finally easing back into skating…). And now that winter is here, the SAD is hitting me like a brick wall too.
Still, I’d rather have stock I made for nothing (or a VERY early start to next season) than nothing to do while stuck inside in depressing endless cold grey uncertainty.

Happy Halloween! It’s been a tough spooky season with my foot hampering everything but we did get the pumpkins set up. (And we’re ready with candy but unfortunately our neighbourhood gets almost no trick or treaters…..)

It’s day 2 of CleriCon, but it seems some of our nocturnal creatures played on through night 1. Time to hang this one back up in his cave!

Squidizens, hearken to us! The Dungeon Minister’s Clericon has begun, and we’ve already rolled our first nat one. In consequence, the tea supply has been ambushed by gelatinous cubes! Hear our plight and spirit them away, before they get +1 speed from the caffeine!

I might have to stay off my foot, but at least I can still get some stock finished! A restock of my smaller dragons for next weekend’s Clericon.

Today and tomorrow are Thanksgiving here.
This year, I’m thankful my foot isn’t broken.
You might have noticed yesterday if you were at the witch and wizard’s market, that I was on crutches.
Well, my foot isn’t broken, BUT, I am definitely laid up for a few weeks.
I’ll still be attending Clericon in a couple weeks (and hopefully back to walking normally by then), but I’m going to need to spend at least two weeks off my hurt foot as much as possible, which means no dance, no skating, no gardening or kitchen things if I can’t do it sitting down/with a crutch, and being very careful sewing to not strain my foot.
And an appointment with a podiatrist, a foot scan, and my physiotherapist to fix this long-simmering problem that finally snapped- literally- and gave me a proper injury. (Thankfully, being in Canada, most of this will not cost me a cent.)
😖

Spooky salutations, Squidizens! The Witches and Wizards Halloween Market is in full swing here in Stratford, and definitely feeling on the more witchy side. Come grab yourself a witch-frog before they hop away, or worse, turn back into humans! Terrifying!

It’s not been a smooth week. First I get an upset stomach, the I hurt my foot (…again. Life of a Dancer/Skater with what are best described as nightmare feet…), and now the power’s out for the whole neighborhood.
Thank goodness for this Cinderblock of a battery pack that I could still plug in a lamp and my sewing machine to finish my work! (Though getting it up the stairs with a foot I can barely put weight on and nobody home to help was quite an ordeal. 😵‍💫)

Still tired (and spending Monday digging up my sweet potatoes didn’t help…) but back to work because it’s my busiest time of the year! In less than two weeks we’ll be vending our spookily cute wares at the
Stratford Witches and Wizards Halloween market!
