productivity!

woo late night pattern making.
finally trying to get some work done on my feebb's wig commission.
I feel like it's taking me an obnoxiously long time to get going on them, and I really really hate making people wait any longer than I have to >.<
I'm really hoping to get at least the ones that I already have the fur for done this week though; and hopefully the fur for the other one should be here soon-ish so I can get that one done too.
I also have a couple of tutu commissions that I need to get done, but I don't think I'm going to work on those tonight 'cause I prefer to do tutus in one sitting and it's already 2am; so I'll probably get started on those tomorrow.

what's up buttercup?

it's technically still winter I guess, but it definitely feels more like spring here.

the annual flowers we have in the front yard are already in full bloom and our tulip tree is starting to bud.

I know that daffodils and buttercups are actually two completely different types of flowers, but I always remember calling daffodils buttercups when I was a little kid. I think it may have something to do with how in Willy Wonka there's that candy in the factory that looks like a daffodil, but he calls them buttercups.

anyway.

I've been on such a livi kick lately...

partly I think because I've been playing with new eyes and new clothes, but also because as much as I love lena and all her bright colors, it's been really fun to play with all the softer neutral tones for a change.

I had started working on a pair of eyes for her after I got the glass ones that weren't what I was expecting.

after I put the glass ones in her they kind of grew on me, but I had already made the blue acrylics so I decided to go ahead and at least try them out; but now I kinda like them too so I'm torn :/
so basically I'm open to opinions if you want to give them.
I left the acrylics in her for the shoot I did today, and I'm going to leave them in for at least another day or so to see how I feel about them after she's worn them for a bit.
I also decided to play around with editing on the picture that I submitted to dA for my 365 today. it's different from how I'd normally do things, but I kind of like it.

well that was smart...

so I'm really good at this whole blogger thing.
I just deleted comments that I didn't mean to 'cause I thought that delete just meant remove from the comment inbox thingy.
go me.
sorry to fee and miki for deleting your comments xD
lesson learned, unfortunately the hard way.

lolwhutsocializing!?

so I don't usually get out much...
I make regular trips to the store for groceries and what not, and I go to the post office whenever I have orders to ship out; but aside from that and the occasional doll meet I really don't go anywhere all that often.
but a close friend of mine who I didn't get to see particularly often for awhile has been less busy lately, so we've been hanging out more again.
we went out to lunch today at a place called mimi's cafe (if you have one near you, you should totally go. omnomnom red velvet cheesecake) and then we decided to go to the movies to see the new, well not really new so much as new to the US, Miyazaki film "The Secret Word of Arrietty"
I liked it a lot, though I do wish it'd ended a little differently. I also wish they hadn't switched the names of characters to more American names when it clearly takes place in Japan.
I know they did it 'cause they wanted it to be more appealing to the American audience; but it just seems silly to me 'cause we already have an American film version called "The Borrowers".
but anyway, it was nice to get out of the house and actually hang out with someone other than my mom xD
my 365 photo for the day definitely suffered because of it though 'cause I didn't have time to take anything before I left, and it was nearly completely dark when I got back.
hopefully I'll have something better tomorrow though. I actually already have an idea for the shoot I want to do, whether permitting ^_^

you make me happy...

when skies are grey.

I love my liviface ;u;

she really is just so perfect.

I can't wait until I'm not so pathetically broke so I can get her more proper clothes.

even though I've made her some things, most of the pieces don't really have matches.

she doesn't even have pants of her own, really she'd wear lighter wash jeans than these probably; but I had to stick her in lena's since they're all I have for now.

but hopefully soon I'll be able to afford to get her some nicer things, and will get done with the commissions that I'm currently working on/going to start working on, so that I can make her some more things.

blog, I haz one!

so I've been meaning to make a blog for awhile now, but just never got around to it.
but after some prodding from mah feebb this morning I caved and started putting this all together.
I've spent the better part of the day arranging everything, but I'm pretty happy with how it's all turned out.
and I think it'll be nice to have a place to ramble about crafty things and talk about progress on craft projects without worrying about the rules of certain sites where I would otherwise post such things.
