It's my first time - be gentle

Soooo... this may just be the start of a beautiful thing. I'm sure it will be. :D

Now lets start with the basics. Hello! My name is Brittany. I'm twenty years old and I started this blog yesterday afternoon after seeing someone on etsy.com blogging on here as well about her crafts and packaging. I thought it would be a great idea to start one as well, because I love talking about my romps with crafting and such to anyone who will listen. Also quite honestly I figure it could be another way to get my shop's name out there, too! Visit my etsy :3 *shameless plug*

I've had so many online journals but all of them are private and only friends can read them. All but one of them are actually still in use today (actually, I should update it later today)! But because that one is about my general life and full of me talking about my love life and such I felt like I needed a new start. A new blog or journal that was focused on only a bit of my life... and open so anyone could keep up with me.

This blog will be centered around my crafts and maybe even my lolita/general fashion obsession. I will be posting the things I make and from time to time that one outfit I'm in love with or co-ordinates I've worn/will wear.

So to start things off I want to talk about what I'm working on right now. Animazement '09 is just around the corner!! Got me a table for the Artist Alley and I'm in the process of making stock for the table. I'm not drawing anything. Really, the closest thing to drawing I might be doing for the table would be drawing the guidelines for my hand embroidery. xD I'm making things like key chains, necklaces, and rings... I'm also planning on making some lolita head bows and/or skirts and tote bags. I reeally need to get on the ball, though! I'm going to be there under Cute Fruit Studios with my friend Katie who will be drawing mostly gaming stuff.

I find it amusing that two people not really into anime are trying to do an art table at an anime convention. xD But hey, she plays Japanese video games and I'm into japanese fashion and music. I'm sure that stands for something!! Not saying I don't like anime, I'm just not well versed in it like I used to be. Actually, I just finished Kashimashi the other day which was an adorable yuri anime!! The ending was ridiculous but still!

Anyway, I went on a tangent. The past few days I've been working on bows out of polymer clay. They will be turned into rings, necklace centerpieces, and cell phone charms.

They seem to be quite popular on my deviantart so I'm thinking they might just go well at the convention. I'm quite excited about these! Last night I made some more in lavender and white. These are all the ring versions, but like I said I'm making charms as well.

I'm waiting for my order of ring bases to come in, though. I feel like I'm stuck because I just want to be able to put these rings together and have it said and done! I'm not nervous about it - just excited. X3

Well, its time for lunch for me now. I'm going to start glazing the charms I made last night and get myself a bite to eat with the boyfriend.
