I'm finding myself frustrated trying to find particular crafting materials. Frequently I know what I precisely what I'm looking for but can't get an accurate search term. Materials that frequently have multiple names (or worse have names that overlap with other types of similar materials) are a pain. Like Chicago bolts can be binding posts, internal bolts, inset screws, and dozens of other names. Lowe's is one of the only place I've found them real-world and they call them 'binding posts'. L200 foam, or minicel foam, canoe foam or whatever term a store feels like terming it seems to be even harder to find. Ordering online feels like betting blind when I rely so much on being able to see and touch materials to confirm what I'm looking for. This is compounded because some of my reliable stores keep shutting down too.
Basically this all means the projects I'm working on are being done in order of what-I-can-get-the-supplies for. Which isn't always the order I would prefer or even have the best time to focus on. It does mean that I have another spiffy plushie getting close-ish to completion. Once I can figure out meticulously trimming faux fur to shape with scissors with enough confidence to groom its face. Once that's done I can get down to the wire armature, stuffing, and sewing all the bits together...
