Updates and Delays

Oh time, 

I don't have enough of you. . .

-------------------

Wow . . . It has been more than a month since I have made a blog entry 

T^T

I'm pretty sad about it . . .

But here's what's up

Life seems to bring me many opportunities and many disappointments, especially now that I'm a senior in high school and also dealing with normal teen issues

Bleck!

What are the disappointments?

Well I haven't sewn anything amazing (or much of anything) in a month or so because of all the work loads I am trying to keep up with, and YES I'm talking about the evils of homework

I mean, I had a custom order come in. . . but it was only a wrist band order

And I made another Fluttershy hat that it had her cutie mark

. . . 

Maybe I should have posted that

Anyways, it was for a hat exchange with a friend

Other than that, nothing really significant has come off of my sewing machine

Once again, I cry in the corner

TT^TT

Another thing, I'm not sure if anyone reading this has read my post about a custom cosplay for a friend. 

Yeah. . . not ganna happen

I had to cancel due to all the work I have to do

It is a sad day because that could have gotten me $100 in my pocket

But I guess it is my fault for sort of procrastinating and delaying my schedule, just a tiny bit

Hell. . . idk

Opportunities?

Um . . . 

Well for one thing, I am now responsible of making costumes for my school theater play/movie that we are doing for the semester

(and it will be my last performance from 7th grade to now)

TT^TT

The shows are "Waiting for Godot" and "The Importance of Being Earnest"

Pictures of such will be posted, of course, but that will be in around March

But I'm SO GLAD that I get to sew soon! 

Because I haven't sewn in so long, I have had this DYING feeling that I will loose my motivation and creativity cause of all this GODDAMN WORK ahead of me. . .

I'm afraid that I will loose myself in just the guilt of WORK WORK WOOORK

I'm not sure how to explain it. . .

Just. . . fuck it

Also, a little news on the shop,

I recently went to a convention (SAM Con) at the local alternative cafe

named Cafe Coco

I was selling my hats, wrist bands, skirts, and whatever was waiting to be taken home

I only sold 2 lolita hats. . . 

It was a relatively small con anyways

. . .

Anyways, that's what life has been like for the past month

. . . 

Nyan?

Lolita Dresses: Large and Pink

Well, it's been a long few weeks

I FINALLY had the time to do SOMETHING now that I'm on my winter break and got all the exams done

I finally got to finish a small project to test out a new pattern I learned how to make recently

And the results were AMAZING!

I learned how to make a "flared skirt" pattern

Its almost like a circle skirt but its made of 4 or 5 different sections (not 1 or 2 like a circle skirt)

I made this skirt with some eyelet lace and long white ruffles

This skirt took me at least 6 hours to complete, maybe more than 6

The ruffles were hand crafted

This skirt is on the etsy shop!

New Cat Hat!

New

Black Visual Kei Cat Hat

With its Shiny Glory

This is literally my latest project!

Got right out of my chair, sat on my bed, took the photo, and now its on my blog for all to see!

It took a little under 50 minuets,

It was a quickie for an occasion for tomorrows hang out with friends!

This hat includes 

Red fishnet ears

5 safety pins

A broken zipper decoration on front

 A zip head on the ear

A chain that falls from the ear to the zippers

This was a hat made for myself, because sometimes I need to make myself something nice

Cause every time I make something for my shop, it is more difficult to send away because I get too atathed to my crafts 

T^T

BUT
