You know it’s been too long between updates when you nearly forget how to use your blogging software. I haven’t done any doll stuff in the past few months, aside from a couple of still-in-progress commissions. It’s been a slow year for projects and purchases…there’s just not much that entice me these days. Ok, there were some like Hot Toys “Silken Floss” figure but decided to pass on the higher price tag.

Then there’s another reason I’ve taken a mini vacation from dollies:

This past summer I picked up this lovely metal lady off Craiglist for the awesome sum of free. Finally have a sewing machine of my own!! YAY! I couldn’t believe my luck at the fabulous condition it’s in considering its age…it’s an improvement over my mum’s machine. It has more stitch options, can sew over thicker layers of fabric, and is quieter (can sew longer into the night XD). I’ve been getting more serious about sewing and am currently taking a patternmaking course. The instructor is rather old school and encourages us to arrive earlier to class so we can discuss any questions/problems from the previous class. And she doesn’t do breaks either..just 3+ hours of instruction. A far cry from the previous draping course I took..in which people dropped in and took breaks whenever they felt like. I have a feeling we’re going to learn a lot, if I can only keep up! ^^;;

In a few days we’re going to attend the “Final Fantasy: Distant Worlds” concert by the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra. Been waiting something like this for half my life! So excited! Had the crazy idea to cosplay and if I can finish the costume by then it’ll be my first time. >_< And if time runs out, I can only say I tried. ^_^;; That’s it for my drive-by blogging. *lol*
