Getting Closer to Starting Decoden

My biggest obstacle keeping me from starting sweets deco is finding whipped cream. A friend of mine who also does deco den tells me she uses caulking, and told me about a specific type that doesn't chip off. I'm willing to give this a try, since from her pictures of her projects, they don't seem easily broken. This is the last thing on my 2011 resolutions list that I still need to complete. Once I do complete mine (or even start!) I'll post the pictures up. Her advice has given me lots of hope!

Crafts and Knitting Inspiration

My interest in knitting was sparked up again after being inspired by fairy kei fashion!

I've been knitting for a few years now, and have been crocheting for a few days.

My interest in crafts faded over a span of almost ten years, but I'm back at it again! The crafts I mostly do are scrapbooking, and knitting. I'm beginning an interest in sewing, embroidery, and crocheting.

I've been thinking for a while about putting what I've knitted up (of course, inspired by Japanese fashion!) It all begins with that bow in the above picture. That was my first Japanese fashion-inspired creation, with many more along the way! The bow still seems a little plain to me, if it were to be coordinated into fairy kei, but I am still a beginner venturing into that fashion.

I've become so inspired from those who are selling what they made. It makes me want to open my own business. That thought is still not too serious yet, so I'll have to keep thinking about it.

More information on the item:
I bought it at Wonderland, last year. There was a store with a lot of Hello Kitty things! There were purses, t-shirts, and a lot more!  All of which were Hello Kitty. There were kanji on the pen, and I could read yume, and ai (dream and love). I was very happy when I bought this and I am sure that I will return there when I go to Wonderland this year.

A Small Nuigurumi Collection Expands!

Ever since I got my first nuigurumi, I wanted to build a collection of them. After getting Yuki Cross, my sister added Ran to the collection. Our latest addition arrived with Anime North!

Something new I learned about nuigurumi is that there's another name for them - UFO catchers. This name is much more referred to.

I did a "photoshoot" today for these three nuigurumi (with my poor quality phone camera T^T) and more items for my Today's Kawaii Item(s)! posts, since I'm usually to lazy to upload them. Watch out for more of those posts, coming soon!

Our latest addition to our Nuigurumi family!



That's my Japanese bristol board school project behind them.  Please continue to show your support for our Japanese friends!
