Thank you, Creswick, for a wonderful market yesterday! 💚✨
To my returning customers, new faces, and everyone who stopped for a chat, offered a lovely compliment, made a purchase or joined in my shenanigans—thank you. Every bit of support means so much to this little maker and resident chaos goblin.
Blessings were dispensed, ladies were bestowed with outrageous but entirely deserved compliments, and smiles were successfully conjured. Honestly, gentlemen, have we forgotten how to compliment a lady? The goblin is doing her best, but she cannot carry the entire department. 😂
Philosophy was discussed, tall tales of hobgoblin encounters were told, and perfectly respectable people willingly participated in absolute nonsense. My kind of day. 🧙‍♀️💀✨
Seeing you enjoy my creations—and the peculiar little world around them—is such a joy. Thank you for taking home my handmade treasures, sharing your stories, and giving me so many reasons to smile.
With love, gratitude and questionable amounts of goblin mischief, Rubi 💚

Those that know me know I work incredibly hard sometimes for hours locked in my studio. Sometimes I wonder if my butt will get glued to my chair. My k8ds are amazing they help me chase my dream and know how important it is to me. They help me around the house and every single market. They see when I am frustrated and cry and when I am happy. I proudly show them all my work. They are amazing every single market they get up at 530am without much prompting help me set up help me pack up. They were incredible. Honestly I do not think 8 could ever do it without them.
I have noticed I accomplish more when I do not record the video of every piece I make. I learn more and progress my skill more. Truthfully not many people look at those. We are at the age of 3s entertainment, flooded by AI stupidity, frivolous trinkets and things where voices of artists and thinkers get buried in social media. I have decided to focus inwards, make things by my own judgment and interact more at markets and other means. I greatly appreciate well your comments and messages. I will still do weekly dump of all things I have made. Thank you for everything.

🧌⚔️ BALLARAT! THE SAMPO HAS BEEN FOUND!!! ⚔️🧌

A THOUSAND GOBLIN THANKS to every brave soul who came out yesterday and BRAVED THE WIND, RAIN, MUD AND COLD just to stop by, have a chat, buy shiny jewellery, accept dubious goblin blessings or join the quest.

You magnificent, weather-resistant weirdos! ❤️

AND WE HAVE SUCCEEDED.

The legendary magical SAMPO has been found!

A brave mum and a band of FEARLESS YOUNG ADVENTURERS WHO STILL BELIEVE IN MAGIC followed the clues into the Botanic Gardens and discovered the ancient artefact hidden in a TREE HOLLOW.

A TREE HOLLOW.

OF COURSE IT WAS IN A TREE HOLLOW.

The Sampo is now SAFE.

THE GEMS SHALL FLOW.
THE TREASURE SHALL MULTIPLY.
THE BLING INDUSTRY OF BALLARAT SHALL FLOURISH. 💎

And to everyone who played along with my ridiculous little world:

THANK YOU.

You endured the weather.
You encouraged my nonsense.
You accepted magical wand blessings.
You endured terrible poetry.
You let me make you blush.
You bought my shiny treasures.
You dressed for adventure.
You brought your children into the quest.

You believed, even for a little while, that perhaps there really was a magical Sampo waiting somewhere in the gardens.

And THAT is precisely why I do this nonsense.

Markets are infinitely more fun when we can all be ridiculous together.

From one extremely grateful Chaos Goblin:

THANK YOU, BRAVE ADVENTURERS. 🧌❤️

May your pockets be heavy with treasure, your quests glorious, your dragons reasonably well behaved, and may you NEVER STOP BELIEVING IN A LITTLE BIT OF MAGIC.

🧌💎⚔️ THE SAMPO HAS BEEN FOUND.

NOW GUARD IT BEFORE ANOTHER GOBLIN STEALS IT.
