I am so happy to have made friends with Princess Peachie. n_n She is such a total cutie! I’ve been making more and more friends on DA recently (I mean, like, within the past month). I don’t know why I didn’t start braving up and start communicating with more people before this. ;-; I think my shyness was really holding me back from making friendships, but I’ve gotten much better and I’m very happy now. <3 SO THIS PICTURE is a birthday present for her and also an entry for her Princess Peachie mascot-drawing contest. n_n

I didn’t let myself draw Peachie herself until I finished the background first. >3< Because I always slack off on backgrounds. So, this time I did the background before anything else, to keep me from being lazy and making it boring. XD The flowers are peach blossoms. <3 I WANT TO DRAW MORE OF MY FRIENDS but omg I am so busy working on my boutique. oAo Please do not think of this submission as me showing favoritism for Peachie, omg I love all of you. ;__; I promise to draw more of my friends in the future. <3 Probably for their birthdays, too. XD <3 Happy birthday, Ruth. :3 Brushes: Suddenly Spring and Colors Everywhere

EXCITEMENT.  Just a couple of days ago, I made my first Lolita purchase.  I’ve been admiring the fashion for definitely more than a year now, probably closer to two years.

There are a lot of reasons why I didn’t dive into it right after learning of its existence, and the expense is a big one.  But I’ve been really smart with my money these past two years and, by golly, I deserve a little treat for myself!  I’ve had a lot of time to put research into this fashion and the subculture surrounding it, and I am more than ready to embrace the princessly lifestyle for myself!

I know Dear Celine isn’t among the most coveted brands out there, but when I browse through their selection of available items, I am blindingly infatuated with nearly every one of them.  All of their original designs are SO FRILLY!! The pink dress on the left, titled Spring Sweet Candy Check, is what I purchased.  It is just the right amount of elegant and cute. This is my princess dress. It is being manufactured right now to fit my exact measurements. <3

I also purchased socks and an adorable pair of shoes! I can’t wait until I receive them so I can show them off to you! X3

That may not be for about a month, though, due to the amount of time required to manufacture a custom-sized garment.  Plus, I ordered using  a slower shipping method, to save just a little bit of money. <3

I’ll be making my own bloomers and petticoat!  The bloomers are actually almost done – I will probably finish them today!  Maybe some burst of productivity will happen and I’ll get the petticoat down, too!

Oh!  I almost forgot.  I made this gif out sheer excitement the other day. XD

Hahaha, that’s not even a very good representation of the dress. XD  And yes, I am totally aware that I am completely ridiculous.  I just can’t help myself~  I’m so looking forward to having my princess dress!
