   Commission
Itachi commission got cancelled, and got replaced by a Yachiru commission. XD I've only seen a few episodes of Bleach, but I know Yachiru. She's so adorable! I'm glad that the commission got changed to a hakama since the size won't have to be exact. ^_^ But I've never made a hakama before, so I'm still nervous! XD

   Namine
I had a photoshoot for my Namine costume today. I got some really good pics so I'm happy. ^_^ I uploaded the pics on MyOtaku, Cosplay.com, and ACP, but I'm having some trouble with them on ACP. The old ones keep showing up when I enlarge them. I think it might just be my computer that's showing them like that. I really want a laptop so maybe I won't have that problem anymore if I get one. In case you haven't noticed, I have a LOT of computer problems. XD Just another reason to get a laptop.

   Happy Valentine's Day! ^o^
Yeah, I know. It's kinda late. Oh well. I didn't get a chance to post on Valentine's Day, so I thought I'd say it now. ^_^

My friend sent me two DVDs of The Wallflower with her Valentine's Day card and I absolutely love them! I couldn't get the second DVD to play so I only got to see the first three episodes. But I still love the anime! I'm working on a Sunako cosplay right now. I just love her character. She's kinda creepy and reminds me of Sadako/Samara from Ringu/The Ring. I was wanting to make the shirt and skirt that she wears at the start, but I couldn't find a skirt like hers (I'll probably have to make it) so I bought red pants instead for her outfit in the third episode. I already have a white shirt for it, so that part's taken care of. ^_^

Hmmm... I guess that's all. Okay, bye!

   Cold, cold, cold! O.O
I woke up today and everything was covered in snow. I had been wanting some snow photos of my Solstice costume, so I put it on, ran outside with my mom, and had a very quick and freezing photoshoot. XD The photos are okay, but we were kinda rushed so they probably could've been better. But they're still snow photos! ^_^

Hmmm... Oh yeah! My Yuna earring sold! ^o^ I had listed it as an auction on ebay, and it ended up selling for $36! ^o^ Yay! I'm so happy! ^o^

...Why is this post and yeterday's post showing on the same day? ...Oh! I know! It's because I posted yesterday sometime after midnight. That must be it. Just thinking aloud.

   I'm too lazy to think of a title... XD
Not much happened today either. I have a very boring life. XD It snowed a lot and I would've had a photoshoot for my Solstice costume, but since I have a cold I didn't want to go outside when it's freezing. Maybe next time.

I experimented with my Photoshop some more and I colored one of my drawings with it. It's pretty lousey, but it's better than nothing. XD The drawing is of Circe, one of the Little Apple Dolls. I like Circe. She reminds me of Halloween Town. I added a light effect and I'm happy with how it looks, but the lines are grey instead of black. I haven't figured out how to turn them black yet. Oh well. I drew Circe according to a picture in her story, and just changed a few things here and there, and tried to make her look more anime-ish. I guess it's okay.

   Itachi commission! ^o^
When I was at my grandma's house with my cousins, one of them said that he told his friends at school about me making anime costumes and said that one of his friends wanted me to make him an Itachi costume from Naruto. There was no way I was gonna say no. ^_^ But this is my first time making a whole costume for someone else and I'm really nervous. I gave him the measurements that I need and told him a price that I thought would be right, but I'm so nervous about making a costume for someone who I haven't even met.

Other than that, today's been a real drag. I think I'm getting a cold, I feel awful...

   Yay! ^o^
Today's been pretty boring except for the fact that I finally figured out my Photoshop! ^_^ Yay! And it only took me about a year! XD I can combine photos together, but I haven't figured out the rest of it yet. I'll get to that later. But I'm so happy! I can finally combine photos! And please don't think I'm stupid for taking a year to learn how to use my Photoshop. I procrastinate a lot and I had to figure it out all by myself. T_T

Oh, and it's my mom's birthday today! ^o^ Happy Birthday Mom! ^o^

   -_- zzzZZZ
Well, today's been pretty boring. Not much to tell. I was going to have a photoshoot for my pink Mio kimono since I don't have any really good photos of it, but it was so windy and stormy outside that it didn't work out.

My Yuna earring is doing really well, though. I made one about two weeks ago and listed it on ebay several days ago. I really like doing commissions, especially when I can make money from it. XD I hope I can do that as a regular job some day. I'd like to make whole costumes too, but I'd be too worried that I'd get the size wrong. Maybe some day I can. ^_^

Well, that's all. ...Is it just me, or have I been writing way more posts than usual?

   Photoshoot! ^_^
Well, today started out pretty draggy. But it was fairly warm outside so I got to have a photoshoot. ^_^ First I got some photos of my Twilight Princess Zelda dress which is %95 complete, I'm only missing the detail on the gloves. Then I put on my Sae Kurosawa costume for photos since I didn't have any that showed the kimono really well. I just got a black wig for it and had to cut it shorter, and when I put it on I had to cut it even more since it was longer than I thought. While I was cutting it, I reached down to whip some of the hairs off my bath tub (I was using the mirror in my bathroom to cut the wig while wearing it) and I hit my hand and broke a nail. It hurt. >_< I'm having some trouble typing too, because I can't use that finger. I keep hitting the wrong letters. Oh well. Anyway, back to the photoshoot. Always before I tried to capture Sae's vengeful side, but this time I tried to capture the side of her that's more humane and longs for her sister to come back for her. I'm really happy with the photos I got. ^_^ And I managed to keep the bandaid on my figure out of sight by sticking a paper crimson butterfly over it. ^_^

   I'm so confoosed!
I went to my grandma's house about a week or two ago, (I wrote a post about it, but I accidentally deleted it) then I got back a few days ago, and I went to Cosplay.com to add my new costumes, and it was all changed around! I had so much trouble trying to figure out how to do this and how to go to that, and I'm still confoosed. T_T I'm not really sure what happened, but it shows that I have 66 costumes! I don't have 66 costumes! I wish I did, but I don't. I sent an email to them about it, but I haven't heard back yet. I hope that doesn't stay messed up...
