the future is the way of that
A few weeks late, but here is my coord for summer International Lolita Day June 6, 2026! That day we planned to triplet Metamorphose Cyber Neon Girl the black colorway, me with my 2 friends at the local art market near my house. We had fun getting photos with the adorable camp backgrounds, and got …
This post is all about thrift-flipping or upcycling a regular men’s shirt into a cute larme or girly style skirt inspired by Liz Lisa and Otome no Sewing! Since Joann’s has closed, I have been more mindful of fabric sources, and I found this old faded hole-y shirt of my brother’s in the donate pile. …
Unless something changes drastically with my current webhosting provider in like 8 months, I will not renew my website next March. They recently added a button to the control panel with a little robot head titled “code with AI”. Now I won’t blame the person who added this on this site manager, they probably assumed …
This month’s bullet journal monthly layout for June is actually mostly original artwork! I initially wanted to do mermaids, but since I just drew a mermaid for Mer-May and didn’t want to stock the watercolor paper into my journal and I also only had one mermaid sticker in my collection, I decided to go with …
May isn’t over yet, and I managed to squeeze in some time (instead of cleaning) to sketch, ink and paint this mermaid for Mer-May! I drew on watercolor paper with pencil and inked with my usual Zebra extra-fine brush pen, that I’ve used for years, got it at Daiso. I then used watercolors for the …
For “Me-Made May,” during which I work on completing things I made by myself, I finally finished a sewing project from almost five years ago, this ruffly underskirt from Otome no Sewing volume 16, which was published in 2021. I have no idea why I started it, as I don’t have any dresses or skirts …
Today I am posting about 2 new sewing projects I made from Misako Aoki’s sewing book volume 1 (reviewed here), a pair of hairbows and a beret! I actually made a ruffle heart purse from Daiso fabric already from this book but I can’t find the post, not sure what happened, maybe I only posted …
This may be a third recipe review from the same book, “Cooking for Wizards, Warriors and Dragons” because the first recipe was only partly done so I didn’t review, and the second one was just an Asian dish I could make any day. This one was different and interesting, but sadly I thought I didn’t …
Here is May’s bullet journal layout for the month! This month’s theme is Dungeon Meshi (Delicious in Dungeon)! I’m pretty happy with how it turned out. For the calendar itself, I continued with a simple square layout with no day names (just gotta use my old brain to remember). I bought a Dungeon Meshi cooking …
For all of the J-fashion fans, I want to follow up on an old post and Youtube video I made in February of 2021 about Larme magazine, a quarterly fashion artbook released in Japan featuring clothing trends, makeup and hair tutorials of the sweet and girly type, plus interviews from Japanese celebrities and models. Larme-kei …
