How is everyone?! Would you like another sneak peek at what’s coming up in my Boutique? 8D

Today I paid a visit to the general store and bought some storage options on the cheap! My supplies (and finished projects!) were piling up, so getting organized was a necessary step!

Now, the little hair clips in these photos aren’t things that I made (most of those are still unphotographed!), they are tiny little goodies that will be available as shopping cart fillers, all for under $1.00!

I actually bought two of these little three-drawer organizers. One is holding various findings and parts and pieces and is pretty boring. But this one is practically bursting with little hair accessories in all kinds of vibrant and pastel colors!

The middle drawer is so packed, I have trouble closing and opening it. @_@ There are three different hair clips in there – butterflies on the left, flowers on the right, and wide barrettes hiding in the back (they have a row of three flowers on them, if you’re squinting to find out what they are!).

Hair elastics! You can never have too many. @_@ (Okay. Maybe you can. Maybe.) Also do you like my Barbie labels??

And now, for my most favorite find from the store today. I was so freaking ecstatic when I found these, I squee’d when I saw them.

POOONIIIIIIES. They’re huge! Like, three times bigger than your average My Little Pony! And no, these aren’t actually My Little Pony, they are fakeys, BUT THAT DOESN’T MEAN THEY CAN’T BE LOVED. Their hair is really sparse, which is a common side-effect that goes along with being a fakey pony, but I curled it up passably nice (no, seriously, I was in the bathroom wetting down their hair, separating it and then wrapping it around sponge curlers) and I’m thinking about painting some cutie marks on them if I have the chance (you know, someday). Might also paint their hooves a contrasting color. I wiiiiiish that the pink pony had blue hair and the blue pony had pink hair, just because being monochrome is kind of boring (I did swap their princess tiaras, though!).

BUT BRIDGET, WHAT DOES ANY OF THIS HAVE TO DO WITH THIS POST ABOUT STORING YOUR BOUTIQUE SUPPLIES

Shut up I’m getting to that.

When I saw these ponies in the store, I was first absolutely entranced by them, but I don’t usually make frivolous indulgent purchases on toys, so I immediately dreamed up a purpose for them. GUESS WHAT I’M USING THEM FOR.

If you answered “They’re holding your headbands! :D” then YOU ARE REALLY WEIRD. But guess what, I was weird first, because that’s exactly what I wanted to do with them when I saw them on the shelf. So I brought them home and curled their hair and now they hold my headbands.

I’M THINKING AHEAD. I think they’ll look great as part of my display when I actually get this Boutique going and have a table at conventions and stuff.

I get thinking like that and then I get all excited and then I start making more things!

I have so many things.

I could not possibly express HOW MUCH I CANNOT WAIT to start posting my products and sharing the kawaii desu love!! (o*゜∇゜)o～♪

Today would have been awesome if my bunny hadn’t chewed through my mouse cord. :,c

Mannnnn why does this keep happening?  I guess it’s safe to assume that he’s responsible for my tablet, too. u_u

Well, these are all lessons.  Need to keep a closer eye on this rabbit and keep cords wrapped up and out of his reach at all times.

RIP pink mouse with cute little flowers that lit up in different colors. ;0;

So anyway this seems like a good time to further promote my big honkin’ Donate button. It’s in the sidebar on the right. Can you see it? I just want to be sure.

Anyone who wants to contribute to my Replace Electronics my Bunny Ruined fund can give it a big ol’ click and I will freaking love you forever.  I’ll draw art of any kind for anyone who donates, more info on that right here.

And today’s comic was going to be introducing my bunny, too. :c But he’s been a BAD BUNNY, so NO COMIC FOR HIM.

The last time I got my hair cut was in the Summer of last year. \( ._.)/ My ends are completely shot.

Tonight’s quick-drawing-after-coming-home-from-work picture.

This was unique because the subject was chosen at random after entering an IRC and asking for one. I also limited myself to a palette picked from Color Lovers.

December 2010

Things holding my interest currently. Tamagotchi and Jewelpet. Been raising two different versions simultaneously of the former, and watching episodes of the latter when coming home from work late at night to relax.

Both of them fill me with cuddly joy.

I see Dian and Kuromametchi hanging out and being bffs if they lived in the same universe. I mean, twin kitty-ear piercings! And they both manage to be weird ‘bad boy’ archetypes, despite being small and adorable and cuddly.

This deviation was titled “Jewelgotchi” until that last sentence made me want to change it.

Jewelpet belongs to Sanrio and Sega; Tamagotchi belongs to Bandai
