Hello! I’d thought making an article on what the last three months of 2026 will look like, from October to December, as well as the current state of my social media.

Rest of Year Plan

We’ll be going month by month here, so let’s begin! These are all rough, so some details will change.

October 2026

The main plan for this month is to prepare for future markets, and to be honest, make this plan. It’s also my birthday this month, so I have a lot planned around that as well personally.

I have been recently trying to get my postcards in a shop permanently, so if you’re reading this and you know a shop (or are a shop) that would like to take some postcards from me and put them on display, my email is linked here. Thanks!

November 2026

This will be around the time when I start doing a lot of future craft fairs and markets. I’ll also release the next edition of my calendar online, as well as in-person, where I’ll be taking orders rather than selling up-front (due to the production cost).

If you’re interested in a calendar this year, I’m still considering where to sell them on the web. Please let me know which option you’d prefer in the comments (it’ll probably be between Etsy, eBay and Ko-Fi).

December 2026

Obviously, December is when the holidays really kick into gear. I’ll still be busy with life throughout most of the month, but I am trying to sign up to as many craft fairs as I can to make sure I can see as many people as I can.

I will probably make a special Christmas bundle (for example 5 postcards, 5 greeting cards and some chocolate) for £20, but I guess you’ll have to wait and see. As always, all craft fairs I’m attending will be put on here, and emailed to you if you subscribe to my newsletter.

Social Media Update

I’ve got good news and bad news for my social media. One involves my return and the other involves a delay.

What’s the bad news?

Well, it’s mostly that the social media ban is confirmed to take place in March. This means that I legally am not allowed to use it, with risk of account bans, which doesn’t look good on me or Stuff By Tom.

What’s the good news then?

I’ll be turning 16 next October! That means I’ll only be gone from your feeds for around seven months. As soon as I’m A-OK, I’ll return.

To be honest, all of the age verification software thinks I’m old enough anyways, but I’m not entirely convinced it will stay that way for much longer.

Since the ban begins in March, I don’t see much point in returning for 4 months, but I’m considering making a small video announcing this update of my plans. Let me know if you’d want that to encourage me to make it faster – I’ll probably make it regardless.
