so much for being productive...

so I've had all these great intentions to really get busy sewing and get a bunch of stuff done 'cause I've only got about 1/4 of what I need to get a new camera, so I really need to get some more stuff listed asap.

but then Fee pestered me to play this game called Eden Eternal with her...

yeah, guess how much sewing I've gotten done...

I mean, it's not entirely the game's fault 'cause in generally I've just been feeling a little meh the past few days or so, and that generally results in me not being in the most productive of moods; but if I weren't distracting myself playing the game I'd probably try harder to get busy and actually accomplish something.

it's so fun though ;;

it's kind of very much like WoW in my opinion, but free (aside from the item shop thingy that they have with like luxury items that you don't really necessarily need to play and have fun) plus it's all cute and anime >3<

I also feel like it's easier for a beginner to get into 'cause in general it seems a lot simpler than some mmorpgs that I've played, and has some built in features that remind me of this extra thing called quest helper that I used to have installed back when I played WoW

so yeah, that above is my character.

I play on diamond server, and am generally on channel 4 'cause it gives me the least lag.

so if you already play and happen to be on diamond server, or decide to start playing you should definitely add me.

I generally keep to myself in game 'cause in my history of playing mmorpgs I fail at the whole multiplayer bit and generally prefer to solo.

but I definitely don't mind playing with people that I already know from other places, I'm just a bit of a hermit and don't always play well with strangers xD

tomorrow I really do need to try to keep off the game and get busy though 'cause I do have a couple of wig commissions that I need to bust out; so even if I don't get anything to list done I do at least need to get those started and hopefully finished.

restock!

since my camera is near death I've been trying to scrape together all the money that I can as quickly as I can to replace it, and I was long overdue for a restock of legwarmers in the shop anyway; so I've been working the past couple of days to get a whole bunch of legwarmers in a nice variety of colors and patterns done in both msd and sd size.

I just finished getting them all listed a bit ago, so they're all still up for grabs.

as well as the new legwarmers, there are still a whole bunch of tutus available in all sizes, both premade and custom order belts, and pin back buttons.

if there is anything that you want but I don't have enough listed, or I don't have it available in the proper size; feel free to message me on etsy or shoot me an email at the address linked in the sidebar and I can let you know if what you want is possible and set up a custom listing for you ^_^

I'm planning to try and get to work this week on even more new things for the shop.

possibly some different things that I haven't offered before like armwarmers and skirts.

so in an effort to be able to afford a realpuki pupu within the next three weeks I've been busy busy sewing up a storm for a restock of legwarmers.

I'm nearly done and ready to take pictures to get them listed, but I've got a handful more to make still.

I did also make a few things for myself 'cause a lot of the fabric was new stuff that I got forever ago to make lena things out of but hadn't gotten to it yet since I'd been busy with other things.

so yeah.

what a glamorous friday night xD

sewing and watching ed sheeran videos on youtube.

all nighter!

still not done, but I did get finished with current commissions plus all but three of the tutus I have planned for the shop restock.

one yo-sd size and two sd size left to go and then I'll take photos of everything and get stuff listed hopefully in the next day or so.

I want to get some legwarmers done too, but I'm going to go ahead and get the tutus up first 'cause it's been ages since I've listed anything new and I feel bad 'cause I keep promising it and stuff just kept getting pushed back for various reasons.

not this time though!

for real, stuff should be listed in the next couple of days.

there will be 3 pukipuki, 6 pukifee/lati yellow/monster high, 1 yo-sd, 2 msd, and 2 sd.

and here's a little sneak preview of what I've got done so far.

wigs wigs wigs!

now that the birthday project is all over, I've had to get busy on the backlog of commissions that I'd put on the back burner so I could work on my personal project.

I'm not by any means done, but I've busted out three wigs in the past two days.

one is the last of fee's wigs, one is a very late christmas present for a friend, and one is a commission for someone on dA. 

these are the last of the wigs from the current commission list that I'll be doing for a bit.
I've still got a few more on the list, but I've got to wait on fur for all of those before I can get started on any of them.

busybusybusy!

pretty much finished up painting the dresser/counter so later I'll be adding the scrapbook paper to decorate it.

I'm also going to cut and put together the pieces for the door frame and paint them after I figure out how big the door frame needs to be.

then I want to try and start putting together some of the little knick-knack bits like little packs of guitar picks, packages of guitar string, and other various little "impulse buy" type stuff that's generally found around the counter area in music shops.

and I need to work on some more flyers for the bulletin board 'cause I've only got one done so far xD

finally got shipping notice from my fur supplier for the fur that I ordered for Fee's last wig and a wig for another friend. it should have shipped nearly two weeks ago, so I'm kind of annoyed; but at least it's finally on it's way now.

and in other news, I'm getting a blythe :D

my feebb has been nice enough to trade me an sbl silver snow that's in need of some serious love.

I'm planning on doing a full custom.

mohair reroot, new chips, gaze correct, repaint, and I'm probably going to stick her on a pure neemo advance flection body because I like the look of them and I'd like to have the added poseability.

this will be my first attempt at a blythe custom, and it's  probably going to be a long process 'cause all the bits and pieces are looking more expensive than I'd thought they might be; but I'm excited about her none the less.

+2 productivity!

finally finished up the last two of fee's wigs that I had fur for.

hopefully the place where I get my fur will get back to me soon about why the stuff for her last one still hasn't shipped so I can get that one done too 'cause it's starting to stress me out.

this one is pukifee size.

it's meant to have a straight fringe, but I'm leaving it up to fee to cut it 'cause I know she prefers to cut it on the head it's for.

 

and this one is for a yo-sd size doll, but pan has to model since she's the closest size head that I have that's not too big.

she's swimming in it so it looks crazy fluffy, but I think you get the idea xD

 the back has a green under-layer with flashes of blonde on both sides. 

now that those are done I'm going to try and bust out the three tutu commissions that I need to get done so that I can feel less horrible about wanting to work on my not so super secret project.

I'm excited to start working on the music shop set since I picked up some of the things for it yesterday, but working on personal projects when I have stuff that people have paid me to do still waiting always makes me feel bad.

flu ;-;

so I was going to be all productive and get stuff done, but now I'm all flu-y and haven't done anything but lay around and watch stuff on hulu for the past two days...

hopefully I'll start feeling less shitty soon 'cause I've actually been taking medicine even though in general I don't like to take anything unless I absolutely have to.

definitely only just realized that I forgot to go look for nasal spray when I went to the store earlier though.

had to go pick up more sick person supplies xD

tea, honey, lemon, orange juice, tissues, and stuff to make another batch of the homemade chicken soup that I made for my dad last week when he had the flu that I have now.

and since I'm a horrible person, I like to make my dollies suffer with me xD

busy @.@

I procrastinated for the better part of the day 'cause I was just super tired from staying up until obnoxious hours of the morning yesterday, plus allergies have been kicking my ass this week.

but tonight I busted out two of the four wigs I'm working on for fee right now, and finished the one that I'd gotten mostly done yesterday.

I'm really happy with how the rainbow-y one turned out.

and everyone seems to really like it, so yay for that.

now I just have to wait for the fur for the last one to get here so I can get done with it too.

so, tomorrow I'm going to finish up the two wigs that I got mostly done tonight.

and hopefully get done with a few tutu commissions that I have lined up just so that those are out of the way before the fur for fee's last wig as well as fur for another commission comes in the mail.

sleep is for the weak...

had to stay up until 5-ish to make sure my brother woke up to go do army stuff.

was busy finishing up the first of what will probably be many tiny rainbow wigs xD

so now it's edging towards 7am and this is the disaster area currently occupying my bed.

 

at least I got the wig done 8D

and chibi!bb wig plans are under way. 

now to clean all this crap up so I can pass the hell out

workworkwork!

finally for real trying to be productive and bust out at least one of fee's wigs tonight.

I made the prototype for the pukifee size one 'cause I needed to test the pattern to make sure it's the right size since pan's wig is actually too big so I didn't want to use the same pattern I'd used for hers. I gave it a quick wash 'cause I'd brushed the fur that I used for one side of it and it looked awkward, so now I'm waiting for it to dry so I can try it on her and then get to work on the actual wig that size if it's okay.

and I cut out the pieces for what's probably the most complicated of the 4 that I'm doing for fee right now. hopefully it's going to turn out awesome though. and I think that if I can manage this one then chibi!bb wigs will be a go, so that's good.

here's a preview picture of the complicated one.

crappy cellphone picture washed the colors out, they're much more pretty and vibrant in person.

 

and just so you know, the measurements beside it are in inches. so that gives you a clue as to how tiny it is xD

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.
