Hey everyone!
So I thought I would offer something interesting. I have a lot of fabric just laying around, and I need to use it. So I came up with an idea that I think everyone will like!
Every now and then (to clean up my fabric bin... bins... ok it's a whole room full), I am going to hold a contest for a FREE, that is right 100% FREE (including shipping and handling... tell me who else is going to offer that?.. That wasn't a serious question meant to be answered.) Lolita skirt, JSK, or OP. Now I understand that there are different styles of Lolita, so I am going to use this as a chance to really dig deep and branch out into the different styles that I have not hit yet. Our first contest will start September first, and will go on until October 1st. That means you have a whole month to enter the contest. Anyone who submits their entry even a day early will be disqualified and I will withdraw your entry. Once October 1st rolls around, I will get started on your FREE Skirt/JKS/OP.... I would do it sooner, but August and September is going to be a bit hairy for me, so if I am going to start a crazy sewing project, October would be best.
Lolita Doll 11, how do we enter and how will you choose a winner?
I am so glad you asked LD11! I am going to create a small questionnaire that I want all contestants to fill out. There will be no right or wrong answer. Please note that by submitting your entry I assume that is you giving me permission to post your answers on this blog. If you do not want your answers posted, please indicate so when submitting your entry. I will also write out all the requirements and rules once we get closer to the contest.
Lolita Doll 11, why are you offering a free skirt/JSK/OP?Why not?
I tried to do the whole "lets make money and try to sell what I make!" and that didn't really work out the way that I thought it would or make me happy. What really makes me happy, it making other people happy. I have the materials, and hopefully will have the time come October to use my hobby in a way that I feel can make someone else happy. This also gives me a great chance to get to know my readers (All 9 of you... <3 ) and hopefully as a way for me to meet and connect with others. So really this is even more selfish than wanting to make money if you think about it lol.
Well, This Loli is very tired, and I am still doing over time at work (we should be done overtime by the Contest). Also need to get started on those Questions! Goodnight everyone!

Favors, Upcycle, Renaissance Festival.
Hello My Pretties!
So for the time being we are still here. If Blogger gets better we will stay but as of right now any pictures I take I will be putting on our FB page.
So I thought I would let you all know what I am up to... aside from working two jobs and hardly sleeping. My friend Sunny Sprocket is going to go to Otakon and has asked me to help her with her costumes. I have been a very bad friend and forgotten about them, and so not I will be trying to work on some of them tonight and then hopefully get a good bulk done tomorrow. I will not be attending Otakon this year as I need to save money for Wales. I am looking forward to that Blog post, it will be like a belated Chanukah/Christmas and any other religion present :) So now you have a hint of when I will be going.
I still have not worked on those pants that are supposed to be shorts for my Kadona co-ord. So I will be working on that and also try to use the remaining fabric for a tie. Speaking of ties, I still have to make a lot more. I might be able to make a hat to go with my outfit... I have a lot of hats...
Renaissance Festival! I love going to the Renaissance Festival and I found this super cute fabric to use so that I can make a Renaissance themed Lolita Co-ord! I am going to try to make three dresses, yes three! One for myself and two more for my friends. Then, epic Lolita photoshoot! I will give you all a hint, Dragons ^-^ But first I must complete the items above! So I should get started.
Goodnight Lovelys,
