Hit 1500 yards (60 laps) during my swim today for the first time in at min a decade :) 150 of that was butterfly! So happy to have found a gym with a pool around here. I lose interest in "gym" so easily but swimming is such a love of mine. Helping with my asthma so much too :3

I always forget how good swimming laps feels until im like 200 yards in and no longer cold hahaha. I wish getting tattoos didnt get in the way of swimming but might stack some ink work back to back so im not out of the pool too long hahah I just want more art on my bodyyyy

Busy feelin icky in my own skin relivin bad experiences because of one average looking white man with a polo and a receding hairline... literally have just slept the last two days away. Gonna try and do some work tonight to get back to me.

Myrtle @monstermyrtle.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

Con prep turned into a dumpster fire so I cut my and my partners hair instead. Feelin a bit better :) I always have a large stock, im just upset i couldn't restock absolutely everything. Ill survive.

Myrtle @monstermyrtle.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

Screen Printed like 40-60 shirts tonight (too lazy to count hahahahaha), finished two premades now getting a little work on tails done before going to bed. Killin it but theres still soooo much to do. Gotta remind myself anything I over prep or dont quite finish is just more for my next two cons.

Myrtle @monstermyrtle.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

Sometimes I make reasonable decisions. Other times I decide its a good idea to con crunch a tiger instead of just going forward with the wolf or puppy bases ive made 🤣 hard mode or nothing i guess!!!

Myrtle @monstermyrtle.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

Ive taken a big step towards sanity and am getting my stickers made by someone else 🤣 ordered most of my sfw ones before megaplex and just put in another like 400$ order to get the rest and most of my NSFW designs. Gonna make the big switch at asc! The stickers are a bit smaller but matte and nicer

Myrtle @monstermyrtle.bsky.social · 18/08/2026

Packing is starting to hit a critical mass where im like...hmmm...i think one pair of shoes will suffice and I'll def be buying some shirts there...hahaha. Just trying to bring as much merch as I can and it's hard. I wanna dress cute but boots and cute clothes are big hahah.

020

Myrtle @monstermyrtle.bsky.social · 13/08/2026

Ive never had to ship stuff to a con and Im already panicked 🫠🫠🫠 I should be fine timeline wise (shipping out tomorrow) but theres just so many random factors that spike my anxiety. But at least this means ill have enough merch at con since it took me til yesterday to realize theres 10k attendees 🙃😅

010

Myrtle @monstermyrtle.bsky.social · 12/08/2026

A week before leaving for a con is not the time to look up attendance numbers and realize you were sooooo off and now feel under prepared. Welp gonna be a fun experiment going to my largest con ever feeling under packed! Guess I def need to get shit together to ship this week!

Myrtle @monstermyrtle.bsky.social · 25/07/2026

Snuck in a cute project during ear prep for con! The large blue ears reminded me of my partners sona so I decided to airbrush em up and add some earrings for them to wear at con ♡ used pearl accents to match a string of pearls they wear a lot :) left a note with em for them to find when they wake up

010

Myrtle @monstermyrtle.bsky.social · 22/07/2026

Drowning in con prep but laying good ground work for prep for the fall. This is gonna be the busiest con season Ive ever had and im terrified and excited. I know im good at con crunching and will be able to restock stuff between each con but im gonna have to be SOOOO strategic about items that take

110

Myrtle @monstermyrtle.bsky.social · 20/07/2026

Cause I ~needed~ another project before con hahahahah. Gonna actually do the thing and debut my mini monsters at a con. These are a project ive been working on and off on for like a decade. The faces used to be hand stitched with silly button eyes and now with embroidery I can do them the way

110

Myrtle @monstermyrtle.bsky.social · 16/07/2026

0-0 I got a booth at blfc omggg. Im going to a con like every 2-3 weeks from now til nov. I fear I am girl bossing too close to the sun but I feel so validated in the sheer amount of work ive put into my buisness and myself in the last couple years. I might need to start getting ANYTHING I make

110

Myrtle @monstermyrtle.bsky.social · 14/07/2026

Tryin not to go too hard with swim workouts to get back into the groove but today I did a 100 without stopping, flip turns included, and a nonstop 25 of butterfly at the end of the hour. So exhausted but so excited to be building up my lungs again cause my breath control is bad haha(fuck asthma)
