Can you believe me I am, Still Alive!

... Much to your dismay. XD But really, the title is part of the lyrics to a song from a game called Portal. (Yes, I'm THAT big of a geek. XP)

But, anyway, the reason why I'm posting today is... well... I'm not sure. But, I guess I could/am going to tell you about the one thing I have planned for my dolls next! :D

BUT FIRST!!! I have a question. Would you like me to post some of the drawings I have done so far on my blog? If you want to answer, check my poll with your answer RIGHT NOW. (I'd prefer if you went back and read the rest of this post afterwards! XD)

So, my mom is starting to sort of buy a new sewing machine since our "good one" like, imploded(lol not really) so it doesn't work anymore. But, aside from this "minor setback" that keeps the two of us from quilting, we still have a really crappy sewing machine from the 1980's. :(

Why am I telling you this? Well, my point is that I plan on sewing special outfits for my dolls. Yes, special outfits.

If you remember on my doll's blog, Gwen mentioned that everyone portrays a country? Well, since I'm that big of a geek(with the emphasis on THAT) I'm going to be sewing little cosplays for them! :D I figured out how to draft my own patterns for them, and since I REALLY do like sewing, I figured, "Why not?" and I'm probably going to start it really soon. :3

On a similar note, I already explained to my mom that I'm going to be starting to make a Fem! Canada cosplay. So, since I can't knit to save my life, she's going to be knitting a hooded red cardigan with a white band across the bottom with red maple leaves inside the band (yeah, I felt really bad about asking for something ya know, THAT precise/intricate, but the event is like, in January, so I'm giving her lots of time to make it... ) (._. ) And I'm going to be drafting the patterns for the "suit" and sewing it myself, so THAT will certainly be interesting! (^_^;)"

Haha, what I do in my free time. Or, at least, plan on doing! XD

So, to sum things up, I'm going to be sewing outfits that look like the ones worn by characters in an anime(and manga, btw) for my dollings and myself. ^-^ I'm super excited, but It'll be... interesting... to say the least! Heh heh...

Oh, and my birthday's on the 23rd, just in case anyone was wondering about that. .___.

So, uhh... yeah. (I fail at ending posts, as you can tell. *nervous laugh*)

New doll clothes! :D

Okay. I'm not sure if I told you guys this, but just to fill you in, on December 31, I ordered some AG stuff! :D What I bought was Kanani's party dress, the yoga outfit, and the Merry and Bright dress. So far, Willow's been wearing the Holiday dress, and it looks REALLY cute on her!(although I KNEW it would look good, because #33 was used to "show off" the dress in the product pictures. XD)

On another good note, I found my camera, so NOW I can FINALLY show some pictures again! :D But, I MIGHT continue my oath about no more pictures, but I'm not sure.

Oh! Would you like to hear my resolutions(and stuff I want to do/get) for 2012?

If you said yes, Yay! :D
If you said no, then... TOO BAD!!!

1. Read more
2. Get some more Manga
3. Buy a new video game(I rarely get new ones, you know. :( )
4. Actually TRY to get school projects done to the best of my ability(and turned in on time. ;D)
5. Start selling doll clothes on etsy
6. Lose just a LITTLE bit of weight(or, in my case, since I'm NOT exercising, eat a little bit healthier.)
7. Clean my room on the first or last day of every month
8. Post another YouTube video
9. Make Caitlin(at least)
10. Save up money more often so I can buy the BIG stuff I want to buy, and stop spending money on crap I won't use. ;D

Yup. That's the list. What do you think of it? PLEASE TELL ME!!!

Seriously, though. Nobody's commented in like, a month. :(
