Gosh, it's been awhile since I've updated hasn't it? My apologies for that. I'm much more dedicated to posting on my blog than on DevArt nowadays. Plus work seems to have taken up a chunk of my life lately for the last couple months.
Sometimes when I'm at work, I reflect that I really shouldn't be working at the job I'm currently at. I've come to a new goal and decision next year...so hopefully I can achieve it. Although the money is good at my current job, my creative brain cells are slowly rotting away there. It's disheartening...

I've once again hit my hiatus status for plushie making. I just need to be inspired again, so hopefully with my new attitude, I'll pick it up again in the next couple months.

I think I also want to venture back into cosplaying again. I semi-retired from the hobby when I went into university and I've made costumes occasionally for some of the conventions I've attended in the last few years...but it would be nice to get into it again. So many things I'd like to do, hopefully it will get done!
Right now, I'm focusing on goals and traveling.

I'm going to keep this short, but I'll make the effort to post more often on DA.

Hello Tumblr. Time for you and I to get acquainted. LOL It's actually quite amusing to use..and I hooked it up to my Twitter..but my Twitter has been dead for awhile...so this might be interesting.

Does anyone else have Tumblr? Stalk me here: momomachiko.tumblr.com/
I'm not sure what to turn it into (theme specific or not)..so I'll let it go on it's own path.

On a side note:
Thanks for the buyers who have adopted some of my plushies!
Still hoping that the rest get into lovely homes as well I'll probably add a few more into the deviation because I think I need to downsize my original prototype collection! o_o! I'm running out of space!

I figured...it's about time I update this journal on DevArt!!! It's been Anime North since I updated...and I've been actively blogging on my personal blog, but for some reason I never got around to DA. . .

My mom has been pushing me to clean up a bunch of stuff in the storage room and the other room next to mine which I've taken hostage. All of my stuff is spawning over the house, and I found some plushies that had not sold at Anime North while I was rummaging. They're currently up for sale, the full details are in the deviation in my gallery. I decided to sell them for less than I usually charge for their individual commissions since I would like them to go to new homes

Past few months have been pretty good. Work is...nothing too special. I guess the nice thing is that I see a lot of old money, and as a collector it's really tempting to exchange new bills for old ones...LOL But I already have an extensive collection that was given to me by my grandfather, so most of the time I'm just looking for new coins released by the mint that I don't already have.
The new $100 plastic bills that just went into circulation a couple weeks ago are really neat...I don't own one myself personally, but it's still fun to look at when I do come across them. The holographic effect is amusing They smell kind of odd though...like some kind of chinese medical rub...(don't ask..).

I went to Japan last month with some of my friends and my sister. It was really AMAZING. I miss Japan...especially the food. We've all uploaded pictures...and I haven't gotten around to compiling them all together to make a super album of the trip. We did many things, mostly it was a shopping trip in Tokyo, but my friend Keiko and I went out for a day trip in Yokohama. That itself was an interesting story because we got lost and started walking around in circles in Chinatown. @__@;;

We managed to score FRONT ROW tickets to a GazettE Live. Words cannot describe how amazing it was. I was in front of Aoi the whole time. I was only a few feet away from the stage and him...and I wish I could have clobbered him and kidnapped him !! It was a really fun experience though, because the fan club has developed moves to go with most of their songs, especially the fan favourites. My friends and I had to crash course learn all these moves, because it would have been pretty bad in the front row if we just stood there...doing nothing, like 'dead fish'.
They don't mosh in Japan (which I like...because I don't get destroyed), but when we were dancing and jumping around to Kantou, Keiko and I would mosh into each other...and somehow I would become a ping pong between her and Bossu. LOL

My sister went BJD and Dollfie Dream crazy and shopped like mad for any doll items. I decided to hold back and not buy too much related to dolls. My dolls seem to have an extensive amount of stuff already...so I don't want to add to the pile unless I have to >__<;
Unfortunately, Luts had an event that ended last week....I did the down payment for a group order. Let's say...it hurt.

My newest obsession is Lolita fashion. I've always liked it before...but something happened after this trip. I've been hunting for lots of Lolita prints and stuff. Let's just say...my credit card is a bit melted. >_<;
This new hobby has also affected my sister...LOL Oops?

I'll try to update DA more often. Seems like I float in and out of using DA...I leave and come back after a time of hiatus. I think I'm just trying to get my real life together, trying to see what I want to do and continue with in my life. Sometimes, life isn't so simple. (-__-);;

Well, until next time!
Have a great start to the holiday season everyone!

Hello all!,

It's been a long time since I last updated...just wanted to share that I now mostly post a lot of random things on my own blog. talked me into starting one a few months ago and it's been an interesting testing phase for me to write on it. If you want to follow me on that blog, be my guest.

Blogspot: momoiro-machiko.blogspot.com/

It's got my latest comments and rantings about the plushies and stuff I'm making for Anime North. I don't have WIP pictures since I currently don't have my camera in my possession. Don't ask. >__<;

I'm quite excited for Anime North! Who and how many of my watchers are going to be there? Come by the Crafter's Corner and you might see me! If not come by the Maid Cafe on Saturday as I'll be participating in that as a maid. Maybe you'll be lucky enough to get a ticket as they sell out quite quickly and we have limited seating.

I'm going to keep this short and sweet, the very long update of the past week is on my blog, so if you're interested in read some of it, click on the link above!

Until the convention or after it, I will update again!

WOW, I got news during my trip in China that I got a table at Anime North!! Woohoo! Big thanks to my friend for submitting the e-mail for me while I was on my trip .
Which means, I have to close commissions, I know I got a few notes regarding commissions while I was away, unfortunately, I'll have to turn down commissions for new characters that I haven't made yet. Anything that you see within my gallery, I am willing to make cause I'll be re-making a lot of them for Anime North. (Oh god! Sora...>__<)

More random new updates on my China trip later...but most likely I'll post it all on my blog. I didn't buy too much, just some fabric and some buttons so I could make some new BJD clothes.

Next update I'll update with the things I'll be selling in the CC at Anime North, it's been a few years since I was in the alley selling things.

Until next time!
