{shopping}

Went thrifting today, and man did Jerry and I ever find some awesome shit.

Cool Asian bead craft and knot books, Totoro puzzle, mandatory Hello Kitty

We got a somewhat “surprise bag” of stuff, all we could really see was the Totoro puzzle, and another weird teddy bear puzzle.  But those craft books were in there, one even has a tutorial for making what is obviously a Pikachu.  There was also an Asian craft kit, but it was sadly incomplete, but at least I got some poly-fill out of it.

Got this for only $1.50.

But…. of course I saved the best for last::

Sailor Moon lunch bag!

It’s in amazing condition, it looks brand new (maybe it is.. haha).  But I was so freaking happy when I found this, I don’t find Sailor Moon stuff very often (if ever really).  ^_^

 

 

 

{first commission}

So I recently finished my first special commission.  I was asked to make a Soot sprite from Miyazaki films.  This is the image I was given as a source (not that I didn’t already know what they looked like though ^_^):

This project posed some great new challenges for me, it was my firs time making a plushie out of only faux-fur and I wanted the arms and legs to be pose-able.  I’m really happy with how it turned out, although I think I could have finished/ sewn in the legs in a better way.  But what to do other people think?

I had  a fun time making him, I don’t normally make fan plushies.. but I am really tempted to make one of these for myself.  I have enough of the silver and black fur to make two or three more.. hmm.

In other news, my “Spring that Takes all Year” cleaning is going well.. the bedroom is so tidy, that I’m actually starting to somewhat decorate in there again.  Maybe I’ll post pictures soon?  The art room and the craft room are also coming along.

word of wisdom, my friends

Not So *Subtle*

This is so cute, it makes me want to have soup and fresh bread with my hair in odangos.
I love tea cups.
