April 27, 2011

Ohmygosh you guys. D:  I came home from work last night and found that the cord for my tablet had been severed in half!

I’m not totally certain how it happened, but my theories are 1.) My bunny chewed through it.  Seems the most likely, but I dunno, the break is like a clean cut, so maybe not?  Or, 2.) The cord was tugged hard enough that it snapped somehow. O_O

My mom was doing cleaning and vacuuming, so I suppose it’s a possibility from that (I don’t blame my mom at all, she isn’t likely to do something like this even by accident, and even if she did, pulling a cord so hard that it broke would have been something that she noticed and she didn’t say anything about it to me when I got home, and was surprised when I told her about it).

It could also have been entirely my own fault, ’cause sometimes I’ll sit down at my computer or move and just tug on wires all the time accidentally.  Still, it would take some serious force to pull a cord in half, and I think I would have noticed, I guess?

So anyway, I’ve already ordered a new one and it’s on its way (Amazon is actually selling them right now for cheaper than Wacom’s listed price, plus there just happens to be a deal going on with free shipping), but I’m still bummed about this because it puts a damper on my plans to get some introductory comics and doodles churned out for this place within its first week of opening.

Talk about poor timing, huh?!

BUUUUUT all is not totally lost.  I’m going to be spending the next few days filling up the art and portfolio pages with older art and fan art (previously, I had not shared fan art on this site at all, so I’m going back through allllll of my old art to make thumbnails and pages for each of them).  So we’ll be seeing an influx of that going on!

So, this ended up being a blessing in disguise, because catching up on all of my art that I hadn’t added here yet was probably going to be something I would have procrastinated on for weeks if this didn’t happen! XD

Let’s hope strokes of bad luck like this don’t turn out to be a regular thing!

‘Till next time, sweeties! xoxo

October 2009

The main character from one of my most favoritest video games of all time, Rune Factory. He is entirely hand-sewn and his body and hair are made from felt, while his clothing is cotton fabric (among other odds and ends of materials).

I could probably never fully express how proud and happy I am with this plush.

Entirely hand-sewn and made from softened felt in white and pink. Lightly stuffed but basically two-dimensional.

One of the first things I ever made.

This bunny is so convinced he’s a penguin, he even wears a tuxedo vest and top hat. He has hand-ebroidered eyes on either side of his head, but they are somewhat difficult to make out. He can see, I promise. c:

June 2010

From the colorful cast of everyone’s favorite trivia-boasting talking bean dogs, Mameshiba.

Machine-sewn from soft, cuddly fleece, and stuffed with love and knowledge. This is a large plush, about the size of the pillow you (hopefully) have on your bed.
