Hiya hiya~
Acen was just a few weeks ago, and it was a blast. I cosplayed miku from vocaloids<3 Anyhoo, I think many thought my business cards were too pretty! I had several people ask me if they could take them. Perhaps they were so nice they looked like minature prints, in any case, I’m glad to know that others appreciated my cards as well. Hopefully I’ll get some more views. If you’re one of those people viewing this right now, please drop me a line in the chat box! I just like knowing that people are viewing the site if nothing else. Anyways, thats all for now! Toodle-oo!

Awright, spring break has arrived! So, in celebration, I will be having a miniature anime garage sale as ebay is getting far too expensive. I’ll be updating this post with more things as I have time. I have three types of ratings for the condition of the books: Like new, Good and So-so. I like to keep my books in good condition, so if the quality is below that, I will say so, unlike the many sellers who will claim something is in “good” condition, and then upon receiving, you’re surprised to find a completely worn and torn object that used to be a book. (My personal pet peeve.)
Like new= exactly as it sounds, pristine condition as though it was straight from the store.
Good=Close to looking brand new, but showing small signs of use.
So-so=Overall the condition isn’t utterly appaling, but not the greatest either.
Anyways, if you are interested in purchasing, please e-mail me, and I can give you a shipping quite and we can work out payment options.

Hola! I’m running out of introductions here, and so, without further adieu, I resort to Spanish. And French. And of course the obvious English.
Now this site is more easily accessible as my blog, thanks to the help of Nathaniel. Today I slaved over a ton of plastic keychains. The characters I now have include: L, Sasuke, Kakashi, Haruhi, Hikaru, Kaoru, Haseo, Lacus, Kira, Zero, Sailor Moon, Inuyasha, Sesshomaru, Wolfram, Death the Kid, Yuuko, Fai, Sakura, Sebastian, C. C., Lelouch, Pikachi, Eevee, Bulbasaur, Simon, Souseiseki, Suiseiseki, Cloud, Squall, Vincent, Sephiroth, Lavi, Kanda, Yuki, Kyo, Edward, Miku, Kaito, Gir, Sora, Riku, Byakuya, and Rukia.
Characters in the making are:
Ceil, Oz, Italy, Gaara, Naruto, Roy, Risa, Ichigo, Link, Tamaki, Kyouya, Mori, Allen, Vash, Kairi, Paopu fruit, Rei, Asuka, Axel, Roxas and Gauche.
If you do not see your favorite character here, please feel free to contact me. I’m open to suggestions!
Aside from my worklist, I am hoping to get the shop and gallery regularly updated, perhaps monthly. Also, just the other day I received my business cards in the mail! They look great, so much nicer than the default image, and glossy as well!

Konnichiwa!
Its been awhile, and now I am in the process of furiously making stock -cough- goodies for the big convention. I’ve got a ton of keychains, and I still plan to do a bunch of bracelets. If you’ve any suggestions on what characters you would like to see, feel free to post in the chat box. On another note, I have two costumes planned for the convention. >3

Hullo peoples, Today was the miniature con at the library, and it was alot of fun. I dressed up as Souseiseki, and Tea went as Suiseiseki from Rozen maiden. I sold a few keychains, and Tea sold a plushie and a bookmark. This time however, I tried something new. I brought along plastic keychains which I could sell for cheaper than my clay art. The clay art takes a long time, and I don’t want to sell myself short. When you go to a place where people are only expecting freebies, I discovered it’s better to have a cheaper price. I’m still figuring things out as I go along, so even though we didn’t make much money-wise it was a blast.

Hey everybody! Back from my little adventure. The convention went really well, and I hope to be back next year~ I had a lot of fun!
Now I'll be working on updating the online shop with as many items as possible. If you want something in particular, head over to the chat box and post a message. Also, we're working on getting our mailing list established. If you're interested, sign up!

Hello everyone! I've got my last minute energy spurt and I’m working on making some more people so that I have a better variety. The most recent ones being Sailor Moon, Miku, and Lelouch. Pictures to come soon!
A new addition to the website includes a chat box with a cute panda icon to click on!
Also, it just occurred to me that I'm going to be a con-artist. Bwhahaha! Oh I crack myself up... Remember. May 8th-10th! So excited! >w<

Boy, time flies! I've been working on crafting 20 of each type of Mario mushroom. I'd say I'm mushroomed out! But I'm finally finished with them, and now it's on to taking pictures, and putting more info in the website pages. I'm beginning to realize that it's only two weeks away, and I've got lots to do yet.
April 11th, 2009
Just started to the get the website up. We still have a lot of info to fill the pages with, but it's a start. The goal is to finish it before the convention in May.
