Okay, maybe. I just want to write a simple blog about pattern making. And not to think about matching an algorithm, capturing anyone's attention, selling anything, not to be in a constant self-filtering mode for the sake of agreeability -- all that maddening and heavily draining stuff. Just good old simple blogging, you know, both private and exhibitionist at the same time, with a touch of innocence and sincerity and serving as a a personal archive. So, today I: 1. Uploaded some designs specifically for Tea Towels on Spoonflower. 2. Researched how to research trending tags.

3. Did some tag research -- felt bored and overwhelmed.

4. Also tried to adjust some tags on my Spoonflower postings. Felt like I'm doing something very futile. 5. Uploaded a new design in a few colourways to Spoonflower. Then deleted half of the colourways because I realized they looked ugly, and the design was nothing to be proud of overall.

6. Had a back and forth with a Contrado support team, about a reprint of a design I ordered because they kinda misled me multiple times. But now it seems like I'm getting the needed reprint. 7. All that besides my main remote day job. Because I'm not making much money as a pattern designer so far. Peanuts. But I just love this shit. 8. I'm tired. p.s. the picture is of the recent pattern that I'm not very happy with. Just for honest archive purposes.

p.p.s. my name is Alesya. or possibly Lola.

p.p.p.s fuck generative AI!
