Hey all,

Straya here. I'm tired. I've been telling myself "it will pass" since the middle of 2025. Last year took its absolute toll on me.

A major surgery that lead me into months of continued health issues. Became a caregiver for an elder with Alzheimer's/dementia who became physically and verbally abusive. Lost BOTH my beloved pets to events no one could have predicted. Struggling to keep my business afloat throughout the tariffs and all the snowballing effects those caused. Which made our big project of the year an insanely stressful monster.

My home has become a place haunted with so much negative emotion (despite how much effort I put into making it the place I WANT to be).

I completely shut down creatively. Stopped hanging out with friends and faded from most of the communities I was apart of.

I want to put it out there that I'm officially on a hiatus. Need time to navigate things and work out a plan to make the puzzle pieces fit back together again.

Thanks for all your support. If I'm quiet or take forever to respond to emails please understand that I am trying, but most of my mental spoons are bent and unusable.

Orders and other operations

I will be honest with you all that things have been behind for months now. I've got some great help who are also doing their best. Orders are severely delayed on shipping. At this current time I don't want to make any promises we cannot keep. But you're always welcome to contact me (Support@artofso.com) to check in that we have your order. Please note that emails asking "when will my order ship" will not be prioritized.

We will no longer be accepting international orders. We will still ship to Canada. There has been a massive amount of headaches with tax charges and shipping costs. Causing shipments to be returned to us and as a *very* small business in the US we cannot afford to incur such costs. Apologies for the inconvenience but as soon as there is a better way for us to do so we will open international orders again!
