This looks SUPER CUTE! More info on DS Fanboy and on the official site for Natsume.

I'm really excited, it looks adorable. I personally LOVE Harvest Moon and when I was checking Natsume I saw this and was super excited ^_^


This was x-posted to vie_quaintrelle

I haven't reallllly blogged about my Blythes...at least with a picture. This is such a crappy pic compared to the others I have but I think this is one of the few of them together. They are awesome!!!! From left to right: Chloe, Flora, Fawn. ^_^

I always seem to post in a hurry...where as I'd usually like to include pictures. Anywho, Lately I've gotten some amazing fabric that I am going to start turning into adorable skirts and Lolita outfits ^_^

Right now I have a crazy headache sooo maybe I'll actually post some more later....

CHRONO TRIGGER DS!!!

Edit: It will be out in North America for Holidays this year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Soooo the whole Little Shop of Horrors thing didn't work out. I'm not doing it anymore because I would have ended up doing everything without help and then when I say I quit then it's a different story.

Anyway...We went to colossal con and it was seriously the worst con I've ever been to! The only thing I really did was go to a Lolita panel and I didn't even find anything I wanted in the dealers room. Oh well.

We're going to be planning out some cosplay for Ohayocon though!! I'm excited, I haven't cosplayed since ummm....2004??? Yeah college kinda sucked all the fun out of everything I did. So now I have time and I'm gonna cosplay because it makes me happy ^_^
I'm also going to try and make myself some lolita outfits.

This summer's goal: Learn to drape and pattern drafting with muslin, and at least sew more stuff.

I really need to take more pictures. I have been in a picture taking rut! I even have gotten two dollies that I barely took pictures with >_<

Today I'm going to plan out and draw my uber embroidery project! and it will remain secret until I finish...it will be a series but the first one will be more like a test to see what I can do with this project. They'll all evolve from there. ^_^

Oh and one more thing, I could probably blog about this...we got a Wii Fit and started doing it 3 days ago. I set my goal for 5lbs in 1month because I'm like we'll just see what happens...it claims I am 1lb less! It's got me sore!!! So I think it's working.

Quick update! I'm going tomorrow evening to help with a show at the community theater here! YES LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS!!!!!!! It's only like one of my all time favorite musicals! ^_^ I'll be helping out back stage with costumes and such. ^_^ I'm excited to find out more tomorrow.

So we were approved at this apartment we wanted!! YAY! So we can start moving in May 20th. I will be really busy this month with that and then I will be back to post the things I have been wanting to. Now that we have a new place I will have to make some LJ pen pals like I've been wanting....I'll get to use up all my cute stationary ^_^

So tomorrow I'm am going to start making lolita skirts! ^_^ I'm very excited. I'm also converting some old jeans into a fun skirt.

We just made a dressform, ducktaped me up and now I have one...hehehe It's very odd having a tape form of yourself hanging in the closet. It should make it easier to pin and fit things.

Pictures will be posted soon!

Ok I have to admit I have ignored my LJ :( but I LOVE the LJ communities here so I feel like I should stop neglecting my journal.

A BIG update is that I'm graduated (yay) and now have 4 Blythe dollies and a rei ayanami pullip on the way!!!!!!!

another awesome update which will turn regular is for my ETSY Shop
and my Flickr

So I am very excited because I am finally getting a blythe doll! nooo not a big one though...a Petite Blythe (meowmin). She has mint green hair and wears a fuzzy cat outfit! I will take lots of pictures of her! and who knows...if she is reallllllllllllly awesome maybe I will get her a friend ^_^

In other news...I have been doing work for drawing and design. I have been trying to get focused, trying to keep creativity flowing. I feel like I should write more on here or somewhere...someone just told me that when they are in a creative rut they write. I used to all the time and it really did free me up so possibly I will start writing random stuff again.

It has been a crazy month in July. We lived with Alex in between apartments and we are now finally settling in our new place and we love it!
The end of July we were at San Diego Comic-Con! which was AMAZING!!!!!!!! I met cast members from Buffy! We saw cool people and got cool stuff...overall the best ever! It was Scotty's Birthday Aug. 7th so we celebrated that and next week I'm getting my wisdom teeth out. sooooo pretty busy still.

So as of today I am free from classes until Aug. 27th!!! and then after that I get my degree Dec. 16th!!!!!!!!!!! I'm very excited about it. I have so many things I want to do. I really would like to change my life for the better. Lately we've (scott and I) been exercising and eating better and I can feel the difference in how I feel already. I'm going to start looking for job possibilities and try different places. Well, our goal of course it to have our own business and be our own bosses! We'll see what happens ^_^
I'm feeling really good about things lately, overcoming some of my personal obstacles.

Something that I have found a fascination for recently has been ROLLER DERBY! I have always loved roller skating, ever since I was very small (I estimate 5yrs old??). I love skating now, it's the only thing that got me in shape before and the only sport I don't give up on. More and more I think about how cool it would be to be a Roller Girl. I've never done any organized sport or been part of a team. Now I know you can get hurt but you can with everything. (The one thing holding me back from it right now is lack of medical insurance). When I have insurance I will totally seek out tryouts.

so i have two summer classes and in the online one i have a 10pg paper due tomorrow...we had one week to do research and write it *sigh*
and then i have another 10pg paper for the same class due June 14th and oh did i forget to mention readings and discussions! i'll get it done but its a pain in the butt.

so next month i decided to join in the challenge on nanomango i saw that bobbi posted she was doing it and i really wanted to get going on drawing practice this summer. my goal is to draw 15 sequential pages and then scan and try to ink/paint them in photoshop (to have a black and white comic).

yay! so I'm slowly uploading work and prints to sell!

http://mutantmint.deviantart.com/

when I have a good amount of things on there and am consistently making things I will advertise more and hope that I sell things (mainly because I dont' have a summer job and well, this would be it!).

So far so good.

So I passed Japanese! woo with a C but that's ok because this has been a really hard semester for me. So I cleared this level haha.
anywho I have two summer classes but they're not bad (first 6 weeks only).

I have goals for this summer, for working on art and such.
1) Sketch everyday (mostly figure drawing)
2) Create Webcomic
3) Work on digital painting/drawing
4) By doing the above things I hope to start selling prints and things through deviant art and other online places.
5) Become an internet dork again by networking and advertising my art. I also think it would be cool to do collaborations with people on digital art stuff!
6) Dabble in digital media such as Flash, After Effects, etc. BUT main priority are items 1-4

Sooo those are my dork goals of the summer.

ahhh! So This week and then next and i'm done this semester!!!!!! omg i will cry when this semester is over! i need a break from full time classes. omg i'm going to go wild and just do tons of stuff this summer. esp. when it warms up and i get my skate stuff together. oh and i'll get to read my comics and then make my own comic! woo i'm excited for the freedom from classes....sorta....i have two summer classes but they end june 29th
