Kobu is getting a suit for considerably less than $100 (and possibly a new pair of boots if Dechanique accepts my offer)! And I have a lunch date with Duckie (I wish I could remember her real name) on Monday to get it since she is going to be in the area for a job interview or something. I'm not entirely sure what to think about that since I don't ( Read more... )

The sewing machine is pretty adamant about no working right anymore. Before it was just the tension going wonky and spontaneously changing itself which might or might not have been why the thread kept breaking. Now it has started only picking up the bobbin thread when it darn well pleases and therefore isn't actually sewing ( Read more... )

A little meme.

I am so sick and tired of it pulling its crap on me. It sewed pretty much fine for all the simple stuff (by simple I mean just two layers of fabric), but then when I try to finish off edges and start getting into four and five layers of fabric all hell breaks loose. It skips stitches, breaks the thread every half an inch, gets stuck and breaks ( Read more... )

Finally. It just needs hemmed... a lot since it's floor length. I have the next two days off of work so hopefully I'll be able to get the kimono and pants made. If I have time I'll even try and start Mokkun. I just wish my back would stop hurting because that would make hunching over the sewing machine a bit more pleasant.

Anyway ( have a bit of cute Hananosei )

I finally got around to sewing the noushi. It was going really well too, that is, until I attached the ran. It is at least ten inches to short lengthwise and when I try to sew the turn from the body to the ran it keeps bunching up weird every single time. The little flappy things on the sides are retardedly short and I don't know if I have enough ( Read more... )

I am almost literally drooling over this tablet. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nqee_bB1LxY (It's the guy who draws AppleGeeks)

Yesterday I went to a Walmart, a Toys R Us, and two Targets and didn't find any Kelly/Tommy clothes for Hananosei. The very few that they had were on Kelly dolls and were little dresses. Not at all what I was looking for for my little guy. So he is still nakie, not that he seems to mind it much ( Read more... )

I think I might have come up with something I can use as a name for my Puki. I've been playing around with online Japanese dictionaries again trying to come up with something and I found the word Hananosei which means 'spirit of a flower'. I think it's kind of fitting. The Puki is a boy so the nickname Hana is cute and silly it is also a really ( Read more... )

Puki Piki still doesn't have a definite name. I was originally thinking George, but I don't actually like the name George. And he really doesn't look like a George anyway. I just gave him some really rough eyebrows, painted his lips a bit and added a bit of blushing to his cheeks and in his ears, which will all rub off anyway since I have nothing ( Read more... )
