Hello!☆Sewing, Outfits, and Art!

Hey babes!

I hope all of you are doing well ;u;! Recently I had to take some time off from school due to illness, but I'm feeling much better now ;w;! I basically spent a whole week at home trying to find ways to entertain myself , thank goodness my hobbies are pretty low energy! I spent a lot of time drawing and sewing and watching entire seasons of TV shows (Project Runway anyone? ;v;? Liar Game?) but I've got some neat stuff to show for it!

The two things I made for myself last week were this bralett



And this skirt!



I made it to match this dotted bralett I made recently ;u;. I ended up going through my messy cabinet of fabrics and finding just enough black jersey for a skirt like this so I was excited to make it!

A lot of the stuff I've been drawing lately but I'll go ahead and share it now anyways ~


Background says "Spending All My Time" since I drew this while the song by Perfume was running through my head all day ~v~

Creamy Mami! I watercolored this, but I don't have it scanned yet so just have the linework! haha



The other night I couldn't fall asleep at all so I decided to try out digital art again! I'm such a traditional media kind of girl, so this was a nice somewhat frustrating distraction from not being able to sleep ahahaha!

Since I went back to school this week, I wanted to try and challenge myself to see if I could wear only clothes I've made for myself all week! It ended up being a 4 day week with Friday off, so there are only four outfits, but I totally could have pulled more together with other stuff ;w;. I'm pretty happy that I've made enough stuff for myself over the past few years that I'm able to easily put outfits together uwu

Thursday!

I actually just went and picked up some more fabric in order to start on a Saint Tail cosplay! I'm super excited about sewing and cosplaying lately, so I'll be sure to post lots of pictures when I'm done with that ;v;!

And as an extra, in all my boundless amounts of free time recently, I finally got around to finishing Neon Genesis Evangelion! I really liked it and oh my gosh is the theme song catchy or what? I did a song cover of the TV size version of it for fun!

☆Check It Out!☆

Thanks so much for stoppin' by!

☆Momocon 2013☆

Hey everyone! Sorry I wasn't able to post for a few weeks ;u;! I was busy prepping for Momocon! An Atlanta anime convention in March ;w;. I've been attending since 2008, so there was no way I would miss it! I didn't make a post over con weekend since, you know, I was there enjoying myself and taking loooots of pictures for this blog post! After that I got pretty sick again, so I haven't been feeling up to making a blog post until now. I got a couple super ace pictures, though its mostly pictures of me on Saturday and Sunday ;u; Friday I hardly took any pictures at all since I didn't get dressed until after it was already dark out and stuff. Anyways lets start!

Saturday morning ~ We woke up and got dressed for a few hours and then adventured across two hotels to find the food court! We rewarded ourselves with the sweet taste of chick-fil-A. I roomed with my buddies Rayven, Kelli, and Alisha so we stuck together for most of the weekend! Coincidentally, Caylee had a room right next door to us! How insane is that? I still can't get over how lucky that was! We spent a lot of time together too ;w;!



Me and Rayven together that morning!

some outfit shots!



I really loved this outfit! It's actually pretty similar to what I wore on Friday except for the main pieces and accessories, but since I really liked Fridays outfit and got like no pictures I guess it's fine ahaha. Everything is secondhand,thrifted, or from friends, except the romper im wearing underneath everything  which is from H&M and my shoes which are from Double Decker ;v;. My buttons say "RELAX" "Grunge Baby" and " I ♥ SPANK!" by the way.



my thumbs up ahahahaha. Isn't Rayven really the absolute cutest *w*

After our food adventures and walking around for a while it was time for our momocon Pop!Georgia meetup ;w;! We basically just went to get food and then had a small "photoshoot" it was all very fun ;w;!

Alanna, Caylee, Kelli, Me, and Rayven ;w;



serving Pop!Georgia realness

Hehehehe Rayven left her camera in the room after that so I stole it for a little while to take some pictures uwu


I'm not a model


I’m a magical girl (◡‿◡☆)♥:・゚✧


i think this picture makes me look really yandere bwahahaha


That basically sums up Saturday! 

On Sunday, I cosplayed for the first time! It's a hobby I've always wanted to get into and I really had such a blast finally participating like this! I'm definitely going to be cosplaying regularly from now on, mostly as Magical Girls ;u;! My costume is all handmade by me ;u; it was a lot of fun to make progress on! 

I was Mew Zakuro from Tokyo Mew Mew with a group ;w;! We almost had a 100% full group but our Mew Lettuce wasn't able to make it on Sunday so we were juuuust short ;w;. I'm gonna start out with pictures of me and some of my wonderful friend Beth who cosplayed Mew Mint in our group ;w;






This picture was so hard to take! We both kept bursting into laughter ;v;


Together with our Mew Pudding ;w;! 




All these super awesome photos were taken by my friends Claire & Kat ;u;! 

our group also had a professional photoshoot, but most of those pictures will come back later! I'll totally share those when I get them but for now, this is the group photo we got ;w;


Taken by Bentpic5.

Overall it was a neat con! It really got me excited about cosplay and I'm so glad that I got to see and hang out with all the buddies that I saw ;w;! 

Look forward to more posts soon babes ~☆

Thanks for stoppin' by!

Really long time no see!! I missed you all and I'm back for good ☆彡: 6 Months worth of updates!! Part 2


Okay so picking right up with Part Two of my suuuper long post of various updates! Very soon after the Pop! Georgia meetup, Jesse, Kane, Caylee and I met up at Mall of Georgia to do some more catching up! Unfortunately I lost most of my photos from this, but here are the ones I have~


I love taking pictures in elevator mirrors hehe!


In charming charlies! The only thing I have as an outfit shot from the day ahaha


How darling! Caylee and Jesse are such cutie pies~ Since it was around Christmas time how perfect is this picture ;v;!


Caylee grabbing some food near the end of the night! what a cutie ;w;

In January, my friend Rayven had a birthday party! It's always so nice to se eher because she lives so far and we almost never get to hang out! We all went to Little 5 Points in Atlanta do do some shopping all day~


I dressed a little bit darker than I usually do ;v;




Rayven the birthday girl~! 


the whole group! What a bunch of cuties ;v;


We mostly walked around and shopped until it got dark out ;u; Then we retired at Starbucks until we all dispersed. It was a really lovely time!

Next I'll go ahead and share my outfits from January and February! I have other outfits speckled from throughout however long I was gone, but they're so few and far in between ahaha! I don't remember the dates for most of these so I'll just post them in the order I think they're in ;v;

I felt like a magical grandma or something that day ahahaha







Around this point I fell a bit under the weather and had to miss some school. The week I finally go back, I was scheduled to go on two consecutive field trips! How neat is that? First I went with my  Oceanography class the the Georgia Aquarium, and then I went with my Art class to the High Museum of Atlanta ;v;! Both trips were so super inspiring and a really nice break from spending a bunch of time at home! 


Isn't he cute? I named him the Frog King *v*


Manta rays flying by


*v*


*w*


I coincidentally ran into my friend Eden while I was there! I haven't seen her for such a long time so this was a sweet little surprise ;u;


Another outfit type picture ahaha. It was so relaxing to be surrounded by water and all the sea life! 

So the next day was the High Museum! The exhibit we saw was Frida Khalo and Diego Rivera, but since you're not allowed to take pictures of the main exhibits, I'll only share a little bit of the architecture of the place and something I snuck a picture of hehe




After the museum, we got to walk over to a cafeteria to get lunch ;v;. My friends and I went to a Japanese restaurant called Shout! that has a $10 all you can eat sushi lunch special! Score!!


It was soooo yummy! I wish I could eat sushi instead of lunch at school every day *w*

As we all waked back to the school buses, we ended up running into Baton Bob! It was a super perfect ending to our trip ;u; 


as an extra, here's a picture I took the morning before we went to the museum~



I also have been doing a good bit of sewing recently! Mostly, It's because Momocon is coming up very soon  in early march and I've joined a Tokyo Mew Mew cosplay group! I've always wanted to try cosplaying out and I think I'm going to try my best to be a great Magical Girl cosplayer in the future ;u; I've also become mildly obsessed with catching up on all the seasons of Project Runway that I've missed which totally made me want to use up some materials I've had and get to sewing!

so I made this bralett! I really wish it was warmer outside so I could wear it ~v~



and these separates! They're so cute put together though ;w;



Since I was at home for a little while I ended up missing Valentines Day at school! I was so sad about it, I absolutely love going to school and seeing everyone wearing pink and handing out candies and chocolates and balloons and stuff ;u; It's a really sweet atmosphere! Last year I had such a super fun Valentine's Day so I was super sad to miss it. I ended up making chocolates again to hand out to everyone the next school day anyways though ;u;


So that's basically all that's been going on with me throughout all those long long months of absence ahaha! I really want to keep up with blogging now, and I'll be posting weekly or maybe a little more often than that from now on, so look forward to it ☆!!

Thanks so much for stopping by everyone! I love you guys ;u; See ya really soon~
