Reboot

So.

I decided to go another way with my website and, instead of trying to reinvent the wheel with trying to implement a storefront for myself, I’m now using this as a repository for my projects. Folks will likely see a bunch of posts get added over time because, well, I have a lot of projects. The old projects (pre- March 2026) will get added as PDFs and the current projects (March 2026 and later) will have links and tags on the posts for them. I’ll try to post regularly about my projects on here. I normally do a post on my personal Facebook page, but I realized that’s not great for those who aren’t on Facebook and want to keep up with the projects I’m working on.

So, here we go!

It begins.

I don’t entirely know who this will end up with, but I wanted to make a thing because my muse has been gnawing on the idea for over a year.

My brain finally hit the “aha!” moment after talking with Duchess Ari at War of the Phoenix about the wreaths she’s built and how she made the leaves (they look like actual bay leaves, which made my brain super happy), and I’ve been mentally toying with the idea of a “Harvest Wreath” with small red berries (“currants”) that’s mounted on a bronze base that uses the wheat-style plait that I do. I might also do some thinner leaves in nickel silver that look like silver sage, as well, but we’ll see. Right now, I’m planning for the leaves to be all brass.

Daybreak

First and foremost, welcome to the new home on the web for SunCat Designs!

I was previously on Etsy, but decided to shut down the shop there and migrate over here to my own space.

“But, Samii, Etsy is a well-known platform. Why change?”

Because the seller fees were ridiculous.  And I feel that I have better control over my assets here.

One of my biggest annoyance points with Etsy is the “offer free shipping while keeping your prices low” condition that they encourage. While I will not be offering free shipping here, I will try to keep it as reasonable as possible for my customers.
