New Pictures Up!

I've finally put up some new pictures on the merchandise page! My photography skills are not so fabulous, but these picture are still a vast improvement thanks to my new camera.

I have also changed the design of the "depressed" hair clip, to make it look more cloud-like. Behold!

The rest of the new pictures are after the jump.

Cheese-kun's Adventures

Here are some pictures of the first Cheese-kun's first trip to Otakon in 2009. He had so much fun on that trip! (So did the rest of us. ^__^)

New Merchandise Pics

I am in full-on constant sewing mode now, and making serious headway on the stuff I want to have done before Bishie Con! These pictures are absolutely terrible - I stuck a business card in there for scale, but did not think of the fact that a white business card on a white background is basically invisible... also holding my laptop out at weird angles while trying to control Photo Booth sucks, so this is as good as its gonna get until my new camera arrives.  >.<  Try to imagine the cuteness in person, un-blurry and with okay lighting! Without further ado, pics of what I've finished in the past few days:

More raincloud plushies.

Keychain sized raincloud plushies!

Keychain-sized Cheese-kun. The hat brim is made of a single large sequin!

Another full-size Cheese-kun (about 15" high).

The merchandise page has also been updated in a major way with all this new stuff - all the prices are listed there, so check it out!

More Cheese-kun! (and Real Life Stuff)

I have finally mailed off 1 of the 2 Cheese-kuns ordered at Kollision Con! The other should be ready to mail on Monday.

Ready to head for his new home!

While working on that one, I also ended up making a sideways Cheese-kun. I say sideways because the fabric is stretchy in only one direction, and I accidentally made this one vertically stretchy instead of horizontally. I try to make even the smaller Cheese-kuns fairly plump, for hugging purposes, so this guy is a little skinny for my tastes. Still, I will be bringing him to Bishie Con to see if someone can give him a good home.

Good hugging radius for a small child?

In real-life news, I am nearly done with my first round of graduate school applications. There are 4 schools on my list with deadlines in mid-December, so trying to get those done in a timely manner (and well before Bishie Con) has been keeping me pretty busy. I've finished 2 of them so far, and just need to tweak my personal statements and finish up some odds and ends for the other 2. With those and the Kollision Con orders done, I will finally be able to concentrate on replenishing my stock for Bishie Con!
