Most test subjects do experience some, uh, cognitive deterioration after a few months in suspension. Now, you’ve been under for quite a lot longer, and it’s *not* out of the question that you might have a *very* minor case of serious brain damage! But don’t be alarmed, all right? Uh, although if you do feel alarmed, try to hold on to that feeling because that is the proper reaction to being told that you’ve got brain damage.

Task #3 Complete Paint Ellis coveralls! =D

So now I thik…Ellis…might be….. practically done? o.0 I mean I miiiiiight decide to repaint the shirt and add a couple details to the pants, but for the most pat, I think it’s complete!

YUS.



Task #2 Complete- Finish attaching bias tape to the dress =]



And so begin the 2 weeks prior to Anime Expo…..

I made a list of everything that I need to do for the convention. If I can complete 3 items from the list each day, I’ll be able to finish, and maybe even have a couple free days somewhere in there!!

I mean that’s totally not gonna happen but I’m trying to be optimistic. =P

Task #1 for today- drafting the pattern for Ashe’s bow! This is going to be……large…. Ashe’s bow is actually as tall as she is, so I’m realllllly wishing I were shorter than 5’9” right now. X’D lol 

Hopefully my dad and I can go buy the plastic later this week, so that we’ll have a little over a week to complete this thing…….this is going to go swimmingly!! lololol


Ahhhh, feels good to be home. <333

Now I’m going to spend my evening sleeping and petting my cat.

And maybe working on stuff for AX. I’m not sure. I’ve been very inspired these past couple weeks.


pikurusu-hime asked: Where did you get the fabric for your Mother Gothel Dress?

I actually made the pattern myself! =) I carved the pattern using a linoleum stamp block thing and stamped it all!! haha




Have you ever gone to a restaurant and had a meal so good, you know the memory of the deliciousness will last for a very, VERY long time, but you want to cry because the restaurant you went to was privately owned and in a different country?

I have. ;____;

THOSE NOODLES…….They were just so good………….



ADVENTURES IN CANADA!!!

We went to Victoria on Vancouver Island, where we rented bikes and rode around the island, did a little shopping, and got some of the tastiest food. Ever. Do you see those noodles?? Those are chow mein noodles in a spicy peanut sauce with vegetables and cashews and fried sweet chili tofu. IT WAS AMAZING. And then we went to a gelato shop and I got both Maple Walut…..AND NUTELLA. NUTELLA GELATO. HEAVEN. 

And then we crossed over to the mainland (on a ferry, on which I colored those ponies)  and went into Vancouver a little, and then into Capilano Suspension Bridge Park to walk on spooky bridges, and the on to STORYBROOKE!!! 8D They had Dole Whips there, so.

Dole whip selfie. As you do.

Aaaaaaaaand then we went to a grocery store….in which I had a lot of fun……Too much fun……buying everything…….>.>

I like food.




Made our way a little further north today, into Port Angeles! We stopped to see Sol Duc Falls, which was HORRIFYING BEYOND BELIEF. Aaaaaaaand I got the most adorable puppet you will ever see in your life, in the form of a flying squirrel! He’s so cute and small and SO SOFT!!! X3 

We also walked along the Dungeness Sand Spit, which was cool. =] It’s just like a 5-mile little strip of sand/rocks and grass and driftwood extending out into the water, so that was fun to see!

And then we stopped for dinner in Port Angeles at Bella Italia, where I got mushroom ravioli and a Coke. ;)

My fangirl heart is happy. <3

And I mean really DID YOU SEE THAT SQUIRREL???

and also btw WE GOT TO FORKS TODAY

This makes me just…..so happy. ;____; I know that a lot of people don’t understand or agree with my love of Twilight….but I really don’t care. XD I still love it and I’m not ashamed!! 

So yeah, FORKS!!!!!! I’ve been fangirling so hard!! lol And it’s kinda great, because this town seems to really accept, and even cater to, the fans who decide to drop by. Tonight we even had dinner in a Twilight- themed cafe! =D (unfortunately though, they were out of Cullen Clam Chowder…) 

Some of the stuff is here is just like hilariously cheesy….but in a good way, of course. =) We went to First Beach this afternoon, and there were these prints in the sand?? How strange. ;)

It’s been raining on and off all day….so perfect. =’)

I love Twilight.

No shame.




More rainforest adventures in the Olympic National Park today! ^_^

We also stopped by some beaches, which are loaded with driftwood and right next to MORE LUMPIN RAINFORESTS. 

Really though. A rainforest. On a beach.

But yeah we stopped and did some hiking in the Hoh Rainforest, and through the Hall of Mosses. Which was amazing.




Made it to the Olympic peninsula a couple days ago and did lots of hiking!

IT’S SO BEAUTIFUL AND GREEN. Everything is so lush and mossy…..and fuzzy.

I’m just saying….I like it here.
