Milanoo...

Today I've had one of the most unproductive days in a long long time. I am trying to make weekends into weekends and give Tomo a rest so that I don't cook myself. So today I've done absolutely nothing at all and that led to boredom and endless searching the web for goodies.

Anyway, I came across this website called MILANOO! I have been looking for shoes for ages now. I really really don't like these extremely high heels that are in fashion now, and the fact that there are no shoes in between flats and super high heels has made me very angry lately, and in fact I've given up on ever finding pretty shoes without heals that are sky high. But things tend to show up when you stop looking for them (and when you haven't got any money to buy them). I stumbled upon a tumblr today that I unfortunately closed and can't remember the name of. But it was one of the best Japanese Pop Culture Tumblr's I've ever seen and I was stuck on it for about an hour just browsing endless photos of Japanese goodness. But it hit me while I was browsing, how much I looooooved the shoes all the Lolita girls were wearing, and sooooo I searched for "Lolita Shoes" with Google, and look what I found! The fact that I've filled up my shopping basket with 14 pair of shoes for £517 (-.-) is both a good and a bad thing. Let's just hope that I'll win the lottery soon!

If you love chunky Lolita shoes just as mush as I do, you just have to visit MILANOO. They ship world-wide and the prices are very reasonable. I can't give you a review of the actual shoe quality just yet, but I will once I've bought a pair! Cause I will as soon as I can afford it!

The shoes above are some of my favourites, but they've got so much more. Click the picture below to go to Milanoo and what I did was to enter "lolita footwear" in the search bar.

Hair-Clips in Store!!!

 The Hair-Clips are now IN STORE!!! And it is also official (!) I need to get a new camera. I am so angry because these photos don't do the hair-clips any justice at all!
As for the necklace, you will have to wait a few more days. The jump-rings I have are to small so I can't assemble them just yet. But hopefully my order of jump-rings will be here in a couple of days (fingers crossed). I will keep you posed...

Design spree...

I have been on a designing spree over the past few days. I want to get as much sorted as possible before it is time for Bristol Comic Expo. So I've designed a new package for all my goodies, that will be with me in a few days. And I got a batch of hair-clips coming from America as well. I can't order the new charms just yet though due to funds. But I thought I'd get everything ready so that I can just send it all off once I get my money. So there will be another 7 (!) necklaces designs (along with the 5 here so 12 all in all) coming, hair-clips, earrings and a little surprise as a limited edition for the expo. I won't announce the surprise until a week before the expo though and the surprise will be available at the Bristol Comic Expo only (if I don't sell them all they will go up on Etsy after the expo). I can't wait to go now. I know that it is about 2 months away, but I am really looking forward to it. It will be my first PROPER Comic Expo, since I didn't have my own table at Cardiff, and that makes it a little bit  more exciting. I booked the table today by the way so we will definitely be coming!!!

Timetable...

My orders have picked up so much that I need to start a timetable to get my university work in there as well. I will have to get up at 07.00 every morning *sigh* and do my Tomo orders till 10.00. Then I have to go for a shower and get ready and then sit down in front of the computer and do uni work till 17.00. After that I can check my orders and answer to any emails until 19.00 and after that I need my own time. Everything has been intruding on my spare time as well so I don't seem to have any at all. I am very tired and I think if I continue this way I will end up burning myself out one day. So better sort myself out before that day comes. 

Anyway, as Tomo grows I want to bring in some more goods. I am in the midst of designing Yeti vinyl charms/necklaces at the moment. I have only made one so far, but here is a little sneak peak...  

First Treasury...

Sorry for the late update today. Been angry all day about my super fail at creating my first yeti plush. It is scrapped now and I need to do something else to get my mood back I think. Anyway, this treasury really cheered me up. And I thought it suits Valentines Day very well! Go check it out!!! >.<

Also I finally sorted a DeviantART page out for Tomo so go and check that out tooooo!!! YEEEY! :)
Will be back tomorrow after a good nights sleep and in a way better mood. Now it's time for bed! Niiight!<3

Tomo Skelly and FB...

I was very busy making iPod/iPhone cases last night. I managed to get two and a half done. I really shouldn't be doing this since I got an essay on 6000 words to write. But I though if I'd get the designs I had in mind out of my system that A) I have something new to upload an show you guys every day for 3 days. B) I can focus on my essay without feeling that I'm not active enough on my blog and on Etsy. So I had my reasons! Now then, this is Tomo Skelly and you can find him in my Etsy shop like always. I think he goes with most things since he is black and white. And I've actually ended up using this prototype for myself hihi >.<

Also I've finished Tomo's Facebook page. It took me a while to sort out since I'm not THAT keen on Facebook, but I realized that it is a great way of keeping up with my fans and an easy way for them to keep up with me. So here is Tomo's facebook page! Follow the link below to come to it and like us since we only got nine followers (most of them friends and family so far)...

Totoro iPhone/iPod Case...

After a mad Christmas, and after deciding to make more or less all Christmas presents on my own I have finally had time to focus a little bit on Tomo. I had an iPod Touch for Christmas and I desperately needed an iPod case. I was scanning around the internet and found some really cute hand made iPod cases and I don't know why it hadn't crossed my mind before to make one myself. Anyway I gave it a go and it came out really nice so I have decided to make more of these to sell on Etsy. This one is for myself but is available to order on Etsy.

More cases to come pretty soon...

Kawaii Sushi...

I had my first day back at Uni. yesterday so I've been busy trying to sort my course work out today. But I did find time in the end to finish this little fella out. I dono yet but I think I'll make a little range of these kawaii sushi hair-bands in the the next coming weeks. Will be up on Etsy tomorrow by the way. My lighting in here at night is not great and I don't like putting up photos on Etsy that I'm not happy with. So tomorrow at some point this will be up for sale...

Hair Bands...

Some days my brain works extra hard, and it also likes variation. So today my brain said: "Head in to town and get some hair bands, and then you can make cute little hair bands TOOO!" And so I did! Only made two so far but there will be much more to come...

Bird is a word...

It's been quiet here for a few days. I have been working, just not as intense since it is easy to burn yourself and forget about your better half. 

Anyway, this is what I've been working on for the past few days, and I must say I am very happy with it. Probably my favourite so far.
