Happy Fluttershy Friday! I'M MOVING!!! (Also, #154, 155, 156, and 157!!!)

 OK, so first and foremost, SO SORRY for not a lot of posts. Creative burnout is real, as well as some BIG news...

I AM MOVING INTO MY OWN HOME!!! Yes folks, yours truly has bought a home!! And I cannot wait!! However, with moving comes packing, and in packing comes packing the army. It's a bit surreal to be doing this, although I knew at some point, I would be because I doubted I would stay with my husband in our current apartment forever. But it's very surreal. This does mean my Etsy shop will be closed for a while, while I move into my new home and set up my office (WHICH WILL HAVE BUILT-INS FOR MY ARMY!!!) In fact, this weekend I should be moving most of my art supplies.

But, even as I pack, I cannot resist getting Fluttershys! And I have gotten 4 more!!! (And this is not counting two I have on order, as well as a third I ordered off of Etsy...I feel like I have a problem...)

So, here are the latest additions: the two Nature pony blind boxes (which I somehow got in my FIRST ORDER!!!), as well as the crystal blind bag ring Fluttershy, and one of the balloon Fluttershy ponies from the potion blind boxes. I need the other ones from this line, cause they are actually pretty cute!!!

Fluttershy Friday Entry!

 Hello fellow readers!! This post is specifically for the entry for the Equestria Daily Collection submission! Many of you know, I have a LOT of Fluttershy figures! Now it's time to share them with the world! Hopefully, these reach across the mass of Bronies that I know are out there! And hopefully, I will have more soon! I am searching for many new figures to add to my collection, such as the new ring mystery Fluttershy, and the Fluttershy figures from the new natural series. But for now, how about we just bask in the glory of all the Fluttershys and Flutterbats!

Happy Fluttershy Friday!! #153

 Hello fellow readers, I hope everyone is doing well and staying safe. We've had quite a bit of snow where I live! I have been getting back into the flow of work and trying to live as safely as possible. I have a new Fluttershy to show off, so let's get to her! This was a belated Christmas gift from my fabulous friend Kitty Sapphire! She made that CUTE Christmas print of her custom Eevolution, Smoreon (which I am trying to make a custom for her). The plush itself was made by Monoh Store, and it's SUPER adorable!! It came with a bunch of other cute Fluttershy stuff, and it came on the same day that I got my Luna pin from TechyCutie!

Happy Fluttershy Friday A Day Late (#151 and 152)

Hello my followers, and apologies for the delay! Holidays are always a bit nuts, and with how last year was in general, it was even more so. I know I haven't even done a Movie Review Monday in a while. but honestly, it's hard to review movies that you are seeing at home. I don't know what it is, but the experience is just different. I am sure many of you can relate.

However, forward we shall march! On to 2021! I hope everyone had a safe and healthy start to the new year, and I hope people continue to stay as healthy as they can, until you are able to get vaccinated, if you so choose. In the meantime, let's look at adorable Fluttershy stuff.

So, the army continues to grow, and honestly, I am running out of room...yet again! I am hopeful, though, that soon I may expand a bit more, as my husband and I begin looking at new and larger places to live. We shall see, though. But I recently added two more girls to my collection:

First, using a gift card I was given, I purchased the WizKids Deep Cuts Unpainted Miniatures My Little Pony Fluttershy Individual Pack. I am not sure if I will take her out of the box, because she kind of looks cool this way. I definitely don't want to paint her, but maybe I will get another of her, and do some painting on her. Could be fun, things to think about.

 

Second, I got another Fluttershy plush! This one is a floppy beanie type, which I can leave on my shoulder if I so choose. This is done by Kazzy Plush, and the funny thing is, I have a plush by her already in my collection: a smaller Fluttershy that squeaks! I am hoping she will come out with a Flutterbat like this! Would be super cute! I am always searching for more Flutterbat stuff so if you know of any, send it my way!

 

Happy Fluttershy Friday (#147, 148, 149 and 150)

 Hello my fellow readers and happy Fluttershy Friday! I know it has been a very long time since I have posted about any Fluttershys, Flutterbats, or any news in particular. I apologize for that. Things have been very hectic due to my wedding, then schools moving to distance learning, then lots of illness for me (NOT COVID thankfully) that has me partially blind due to swelling around my eye. I have basically been laid up pretty bad, so I apologize for my lack of posts. HOWEVER, I am (somewhat) back, and I can post some Fluttershy news!

So, let's follow-up with the Army! It has expanded, and continues to expand. I swear, if I ever move into a home, it's going to take up an entire room, this entire collection. I don't mind, and the hubby doesn't seem to either.

First up, another Cutie Mark Crew Fluttershy, this one of the newer ones so the eyes are a bit closer to what you see in the new show (which, I am sorry, feels like an acid trip) and has glitter mane.

Next up, a lovely custom Flutterbat for the special forces as I call them! This one made by the lovely Roogna of Roogna's Custom Creations. I have gotten a few pieces from her before, and this was such a wonderful collaboration with her. 

 

Third, we have what is pretty much a duplicate: the G1 version of Fluttershy. Now, this girl came as part of a set, and I do have the set. But I did want this girl loose so she could be a part of the official collection, so I found someone who broke up the set, and was able to snag the Fluttershy. 

And lastly, cause I JUST snagged her, a Fluttershy in a stocking, perfect for the holidays! This girl makes 150! And thank you to Peruser of Pieces for her! I can't wait for her to adorn my fireplace for the season then join the collection! AND GO CHECK OUT TROTCON ONLINE TO HELP MY FELLOW SELLERS!

Self-Promotion Sunday!

 My apologies to all my readers. Between the wedding and then my work having to close due to COVID until the new year, I have been just beyond swamped. Making digital projects for my middle school and quick, easy one day projects for my elementary school has become draining, making me almost hate art. It has taken the unfortunate death of a pet of a friend to make me start doing anything art related again. I am hoping to have quite a few pieces up in my shop for the holidays, so please, make sure you check out my Etsy page: https://www.etsy.com/shop/TrotLOeilArt

Let me show off what I have:

NEW KEYCHAINS! I got a bunch of new keychains in, and they are all up on my Etsy page, ready to be given for holiday gifts, or even nice enough for mini ornaments! Some are new designs, some are old ones that I needed to restock.

 

 

Fluttershy Rapunzel (or Rapshy as I have taken to calling her) is IN! I should have around 10-15 for sale, and perfect for any pony or princess lover! She's up for sale here: https://www.etsy.com/listing/909780905/rapshy-pin?ref=listings_manager_grid

 

Also, Nightmare Rarity (or Nightmarity) has arrived in shop. She is available for sale here: https://www.etsy.com/listing/882055191/nightmarity-enamel-pin?ref=shop_home_active_1

Speaking of pins, I am sponsoring a new pin from Sophie Scruggs based on Snowdrop, the fan made blind pegasus. This has been a little bit of a dream of mine, even more than Flutterbat. There's not enough Snowdrop love out there. Plus, this design is based off of the design I came up with for the ornament picture of Snowdrop for the Hearth's Warming Countdown Calendar I made. I'm super in love with how Sophie took my design and ran with it!

 

There's going to be more posted on my Etsy site soon, just in time for the holidays! Make sure you keep an eye out for everything! And I am going to see about having a holiday promo code, which I will probably preview next week.

Self-Promotion Sunday!

OH MY GOODNESS HAS IT REALLY BEEN THAT LONG?! I am so sorry my fellow readers, but as the school year began, I got engaged and have been planning my wedding for Halloween THIS YEAR! Not much time, I know, but if we didn't do it, then I don't know how long we would be waiting to just get married.

Anyway, because of all these plans, as well as the stress of trying to teach during COVID, there has not been much that I have been doing in terms of my own personal work. For that, I apologize. However, I know I have some keychains coming in soon, so I will do an unboxing video for those! I haven't done one of those in a while, have I? 

I'm also running a sale on my Etsy story! If you order over $20 worth of merch, you can get 20% off your entire order, if you use the code WEDDING 20 so make sure you check that out!!!

In the meantime, I do have a few preorder slots of this LOVELY Fluttershy Rapunzel left, with the artwork by the AMAZING Sophie Scruggs! Check out the form which has been enclosed!
