Cooking with Vocaloids

Oh my golly gosh gee, this is a project I have spent a long time working on, and I am so excited that it's finally done! If you guys haven't already see the video, check it out here!

This went better then I ever could of expected! Cooking with Vocaloids was an idea we had way back when we started making videos as a group, and I wrote the script more then a year ago. I always had this idea for a cute goofy cooking show with Vocaloids, and I'm happy to see it finally come to life.  Creating the little graphics and other things for this video was also super fun, and we all put a lot of hard work into it.  Creating, and especially editing, these videos is something I really enjoy doing, and I'm glad I've had the opportunity to.

whether or not we continue making these videos is up in the air, but I would really like to. Getting the group together to film is always such a blast, and I really enjoy their company. Filming with them is one of my favorite things to do ever basically. I just love making videos, and they have to put up with me all the time being a goof haha. But really, I had such a great time doing it!
 If you'd like to see more of our cosplay group, we have some other videos up on our channel, as well as a facebook page!
See you guys later!

BJD Addicts Challenge 4: Summer Outfit

Sewing doll clothes is amazingly hard.  Really it was horrible, I'd want to use the sewing machine, but the dress was just too small.  I've also remembered how bad I am at hand sewing, so some parts are totally worse then others.  But really, this was a lot of fun, and I think what I did come up with is really cute. 
You can see some nicer pictures of her outfit here
I really want to make another dress using the same pattern, but try making a sailor collar for it instead of the (Too small) rounded one. I know at one point the pattern was online, but I don't think I can find it anywhere anymore, which is really sad.  Thankfully I have a few of them printed off still right now, but I really want that sailor collar ahaha.
Well I hope you enjoyed the video (Its here if you haven't seen it) and I will see you guys again soon!

Daiso Haul and Life Update!

If there is anything I truly love in life, its Daiso.  Wow that sounded less depressing in my head, but really, Daiso is a wonderful store full of fantastic goodies.  While its typically referred to as a "Japanese dollar store" the quality of its products is worlds above any other dollar store I've ever visited. Not only are the products high quality, but are also really really cute.
So lets get on with the haul! (You can watch the video haul here!)
I actually bought a lot of cleaning supplies this time around, mostly because I was recently hired to do some weekly cleaning, and I wanted to buy my own supplies that I could easily carry through the house. (I also just wanted cute cleaning stuff not going to lie)

Adorable sponges

Notebook

I also picked up some stationary stuff and I'm really excited to use it.  The notebooks are really adorable and the letter sets from daiso are to die for!
Lastly I bought some hair accessorys to keep my hair up when it gets hot out!

Ahh so cute!

Overall I am super happy, as always, with everything I bought.  Daiso is always full of wonderful things, so if you can I would recommend checking it out!  Also, the best thing about it is that I spent less then 20$ on all of this!

So check out the video haul, and I'll see you guys again soon with a BJD video!
I've been trying to keep myself very busy this summer with different projects.  Hopefully you'll be able to hear more about some of them soon! I really want to do a lot of cosplay stuff this summer, and (If I can manage to plan it haha) our cosplay group will likely have another cosplay video up within the next month!  I hope you guys have a lot of fun plans with friends!

Cat admits his favorite color is pink.

I haven't forgotten my BJD!

Kid Delf Jamong

It's been a long time since I've done anything BJD related. I feel pretty bad about it, not going to lie, Delilah has been in her box the past few weeks due to me doing some spring cleaning. But I recently had some free time on my hands (I'd been up in Seattle the taking care of some family stuff which mostly consisted of me sitting alone in waiting rooms) and I decided to check back in on the ol' DoA forms. Woah it's been a while. But after remembering how to navigate them, I was reminded of how much I like my doll, and how much I would like to get another. I don't think I'll be able to anytime soon, but it's always fun to do a bit of window shopping. I would like to get another Kid Delf from Luts if I can, that would be Delilah's twin sister. Likely she would be a Kid Delf Jamong.

Gosh, the real problem with dolls is their price ahaha, espiclly now that I'm looking at universities, doing any big spending isn't really what I want to do right now. Even if I had time this summer to get a job, I would just want to save it for school. But one day, one day I will get another doll ahaha. For now I just bought a new pair of eyes for Deiliah from my friend Cazzie's eye store Eye Candy.

I hope you guys are having a great spring/summer brake for those of you that are off now. Today was my last day of junior year, and I'm happy to be free for the summer!

I'll try to make a video soon! So see you guys soon!

Matryoshka Headband Tutorial

Hello you guys!
I made a tutorial video for the first time in a longggg time.  But now that I have my super secret weapon (Aka my new mic) I can hopefully go about making more of these!

City for your head yes yes

This video was a tutorial for how to make a Vocaloid Matryoshka headband.  I first made on of these for Hey Say Cosplay's Matryoshka CMV, and I thought it looked totally cool, so I wanted to share how to make them with the world.  Matryoshka is a great first time cosplay because it's easy to make, and this is just something that will make the costume look extra cool!  Thankully my friend and fellow cosplayer Hailey was kind enough to act as a model for me, so I could have someone who looks super cute wear it with her costume! You can see photos of her cosplay's on Hey Say Cosplay's Facebook page!
I hope that the voice over isn't too weird, it was my first time doing it and I was a bit nervous, but I really like my new microphone so I hope you guys enjoyed it!
In other news, life around here has been a bit crazy for me.  Thankfully I'm in the middle of a four day weekend, so I have some time to take care of cleaning, homework, and yes, video making.  With finals coming up, as well as now making dinner a few times a week, I've been keeping myself very busy.  However, when I do have some time to myself I've found myself looking on the Luts website fairly often, and I've been feeling pretty inspired to so some BJD stuff, so possibly watch out for that in the future.
That's All I have to say for now, so be sure to check out my Matryoshka Headband Tutorial and tell me what you think!
See ya!

Plans for Cosplay as of May

There is little I can say, aside from that I am extremely excited for cosplaying this summer.  Our group, Hey Say Cosplay, is planning some really REALLY cool stuff (can you tell I’m excited?)

First of all, we are going to finish up all our costumes and weapons for RWBY, then film a CMV for it. While putting together Nora’s hammer is going to be a challenge, making the CMV should be really fun and I’m excited for us to all have our costumes done. 

We also have some smaller projects planned for videos, including one we've had in the works for over a year!  The costumes aren't very complex, so I've personally volunteered to make them as sewing practice.  I really want to be able to make nice looking costumes, as well as clothes for myself (Looking through vintage Vogue patterns makes my heart flutter). And seeing as our costumes are just going to get bigger and better, it would be best to make sure I know what I’m doing.

Then, for next year, we have something much much more wonderful planned.  We are going to (hopefully) have our group go as Vocaloid: Story of Evil.

The Designs

This is just too cool for me to handle, and I am pumped to get to work on my costume.  As I often am, I will be our groups Meiko, which means I get to adventure into making some armor and a sword.  We are basing our costumes on these designs by Dj-MewMew on DeviantArt.  I already have some plans in mind for how I’m going to put together my costume, and as soon as our group confirms our plans I’ll be getting to work on it.  This time I can hopefully film some of the progress which I had planned to do for my Nora cosplay, but most of time I was working on it I looked pretty gross so I wouldn't want to show myself and wouldn't feel very inspired to film.  I’m hoping I can get past that for this costume, because I really want it to be amazing, and may have to ask you guys for your opinions on how to make it even better! In my latest video I start working on making a bustier to use for the top of my costume already, I am just so pumped to work on this!

That’s all for now!  Make sure to check out these my Sewing and a New Blog? video, as well as my Sakura Con 2014 Haul! See you guys around!

Starting Something New

It's funny to think it's almost been a year since I made a longer post, or simply, a blog post. My LiveJournal didn't work well for me, and my Tumblr just wasn't the right place for longer posts, so now I'm trying again here.
My plan for this blog is to use it alongside my YouTube videos (Found here!).  It will essentially be used for adding more information to the topic I go over in my videos.  Of course not everything will be related to videos, as I also plan on making more fashion related posts as well as posts on what shows and books I'm into!
I really hope you guys enjoy them!
As for what I'm up to now; I have just been crazy busy.  From finishing up my junior year in high school, to playing oboe in multiple concerts I haven't had much time for anything.  Unfortunately, on top of that, my dad has recently had some medical problems and has been mostly bedridden.  Because of that I have had to take on a few more challenges (But at least now I know how to use the lawn mower!).
This is all for now, but Hopefully you will hear again from me shortly!  Bye bye for now!
