I’m SUPER excited to share my latest Big Kid purchase: my first serger!! I’ve been saving up for my first one for awhile now, and it came in the mail two months ago! I’ve been so thrilled to finally be able to work with knits, and especially having clean finishes for all of my costumes/garments! […]
Here’s the second half of our daytrip! There were so many shops to look at! We stopped by Artisan Sake Maker for some food and sake tasting. From their website — Established in 2007 on Granville Island, Artisan SakeMaker is known as a unique commercial winery that produces award winning, hand-made, small batch and fresh sake. […]
It was breathlessly easy getting swept up in all of Vancouver’s character and charm during our day trip to Granville Island. There were so many unique buildings and alleys, and for the most part no shortage of plantlife all along the way. We woke up early to make the most of it, so I broke […]
It’s been a good 6 years since I’ve been to Vancouver, BC. My Canadian friends have been harping me to renew my passport/get an enhanced ID for years, and I finally did my time at the DMV and got one. A lot has changed since then, so my friends Devin and Mike showed me around. […]
Lately I’ve been staying cooped up in my room because of work and my general hobbies. I’ve been struggling with my skin lately, and the healing process is taking months with ups and downs. They say that moderate amounts of sun exposure is good for the skin, and especially so with eczema. Even just one […]
For Anime Expo 2016, I volunteered for Aniplex USA and Weekly Shonen Jump/Viz Media through ACParadise as Okumura Rin from Blue Exorcist. I’m still working on my AX 2016 con report, but when I update my sidebar please check it out! It was an amazing experience, and one I will definitely never forget. The above […]
After Anime Expo, I took a trip up to Bellingham for a week with Daniel! Work was slowing down (just a little bit) and I felt like I needed a true, true week of relaxation. Bellingham is such a quiet and calm place, and it’s easily become my favorite vacation spot locally. The scenery going […]
WOW! So this AX was insane. I’m still in shock, but it was probably one of the better cons I’ve had in a while. Day 0 Michael and I buddied up for our plane trips this year again! Unfortunately, Daniel had class and was arriving later that night! :[ Our flight was at 9AM, and […]
Today my friends took me to the local Tanabata Festival at the Seattle Japanese Garden. It’s been awhile since Kayla, Liz and I were in the same city, so it was really exciting to get together. Unfortunately, I was insanely sleep-deprived from working on commissions, and the start was hectic with me having to ship […]
Today Daniel took me to Fairhaven, a small town with a lot of personality. I would always tell him how much I loved fish and chips, but due to my white fish allergy I couldn’t eat them anymore. Then he told me about a place that served salmon fish and chips – something I could […]
