Hey guys! Back from Animeland Wasabi! The DCCS-sponsored cosplay events were once again a great success this year, thanks to all the hard work of the members and participants. I really had a wonderful time and can't thank everyone enough for their energy and great attitudes, even in the face of some adversity. ^^

The CLAMP group made it's debut at AW, as well! You can see some photos here at my freshly updated website! It was SO much fun and everyone looked absolutely amazing!


Cuuuuuute!

In other news, I updated the Anne Boleyn Necklace entry, 'cause I made some new ones, woo! =D I'm definitely taking orders for them, so if you're interested, please drop me an email! I swear I'll add an order form to the website soon. O.o

Also, I'll be over at the Ballpark Market on April 11th! It's an open air market in Downtown Denver, on Larimer Street between 21st and 22nd Streets, and it goes from 8:00am to 2:00pm. They have LOTS of awesome stuff besides handcrafts, like antiques and a farmer's market, too. I'm so happy to have been accepted, and I'm really looking forward to the event! Oh, hey, it's free, too!

Okay, I think that covers all of it. XD

OKAY, Animeland Wasabi 2009 Cosplay Registration is open!

So, uh, in case you didn't know, I moved in December. Since I secretly dream of being an interior decorator, I've been busting my butt working on a good design and having a really fun time decorating my apartment! It started out with a lot of charm of it's own; it's a vintage apartment in a cool part of Denver, I've got hardwood floors and really nice windows and pretty textured plaster.

I'm a big fan of stores like Anthropologie and Crate & Barrel and Urban Outfitters, but I'm typically on a VERY strict budget (LOL, gotta have the money for all those costumes, heh), so I use a lot of secondhand stuff, and I do a lot of shopping on Craigslist and at Goodwill and ARC.

So anyway, I just wanted to share some pictures of my place! Here it is!

( Beverly's house of... um... secondhand stuff. REALLY image intensive. )

So that's it! =D Welcome to my apartment!

Okay guys, I swear, I'm updating the jewelry website TONIGHT, and I'm totally making things. I'm hoping to finish Haruhi's Ending Dress from Ouran like THIS WEEK, and then... Uh, well, yeah. XD Then it will be done.

Also, starting to get excited about AnimeLAND Wasabi coming up in March! This'll be the second year, and it should be a good one! We'll be working on making the cosplay events even better this year, of course, so come and enjoy them, or feel free to help out! You can get more details at the community page, or of course at the DCCS website.

Next time, PICS. Of something.

( Year In Review! Image heavy, of course. )

I didn't really do a lot of NEW stuff last year; I feel like I was overwhelmed with newness through everything else. I wanted to do some Big McLargehuge stuff because it was my 10 year anniversary, but I didn't really get to it... and that's okay. ^^ I still had a really good time all year, and I really love the stuff I DID get done. And I got to rewear a lot of things that I loved and wanted to wear more... so that was good, too!

I think I'm developing a pattern... at least one big poofy dress, and one pointy-ear costume... Hmmm....

Now that I'm all settled back into some sort of a groove... it's time to start thinking about costumes again!

( Plans for 2009... yeah right! )

I'm sure things will change, perhaps a few smaller projects will be added, but I'd like to go a little smaller list this year, and rewear a lot of things because they are just NOT getting enough love.

I'm excited for everything coming up this year! Should be lots of fun! =D

Updated websites! =D Just a bunch of little things on charmedseed.net, both cosplay and jewelry. Nothing really new... just tidied up and stuff, upcoming costumes added, and doing custom wordspell again.

We're closing in on the winter holidays... Get your orders in now to get these beautiful, handmade gifts on time!

IT'S AN UPDATE.

So, I've been very busy. Of course there was a holiday weekend, an extra long one. I took advantage of that long weekend in moving to a new home! It's really great, I've moved into a beautiful vintage apartment just blocks from the heart of Denver (and about ten blocks from The Shoppe), and I just love it.

Uhhh... Jewelry! Lots of that going on, though it was admittedly on hold for the move. ^^ You know. I didn't get to do anything special for Cyber Monday... Oh well, next year! But there's still plenty to shop from at Charmedseed Jewelry... and more coming!

Cosplay was also on hold, but it's going to be 2009 soon, so I need to get in gear! Got some CLAMP & Final Fantasy plans coming up, Animeland Wasabi in March and Acen in May, so it'll be here before I know it! We're still waiting out the cold winter months for some photos, I think, but I know we'd like to get to it sometime soon!

So, last little bit of 2008, and then we're off! Enjoy your holidays!
