It's been not only a long time since I've posted here, but it has been a long time since I shared photos of my place. The last time you guys saw where I lived I was still living at home with my parents. It was back in 2012, so easily 4 years ago you saw my collection. Now you can see not only has my… [more]
So since I've moved into my new apartment I still hadn't set up my photography studio. Seems work has me busier than I thought I would ever be, however I took some time this past weekend to set up my studio so I could take some photos of my latest purchase, Alter's 1/8th Melty from Shining Hearts. Now… [more]

Pre-ordered this figure the moment she was released for pre-order. I needed for for multiple reasons, she's sexy/half naked, plus while she's not Sora she reminds me of Sora from Yosuga no Sora! But she's Yuki from Maid Yome and she's pretty amazing. The only issue is her adorable mouth really looks… [more]

I recently went on a trip to a magical place, The Container Store. Ok it's not really magical, but I happen to have discovered a love for organizing my home. I tend to prefer Ikea and Daiso but we went to The Container Store on a whim and I discovered this lovely storage container! I've been needing… [more]
So I finally finished the bag! I’m pretty excited about how it came out! I was going to buy one online but the only place i found it wanted over $80 for it plus shipping. Plus the plaid wouldn’t match with my plaid so i opted to make it myself!
What i did this time was i cut out the shape in cardboard and taped it all together.
Then i covered it all with the plaid material.
I then added the Black parts and some sequens.
And last but not least the Heart logo, the lace, and the Heart, Spade and Clover.
Came out pretty well if you ask me! Now all i have left is the eggs and to cut the wig.
Last time people were asking for a shot of the jacket and this was the best i could do… But hey you can see the armband as well. As for the eggs i found someone online who sells the eggs for a decent price. Ok more like a commenter helped me find it! Thanks FuyuMaiden! So i should have the eggs and the Humpty lock before July!
oh and incase you didn’t know what the bag looks like…
Small Note: congrats Detroit Red Wings on kicking Pittsburgh’ Penguin’s ASS! Now It’s time to go back to rooting for my Beloved Buffalo Sabres in the fall!

Rins last blog post..Macross Frontier OST!!!
Looks fantastic, I can’t wait to see how the eggs turn out. Did you use sheet styrene or card board for the heart, spade, and clover?
@rin:
I can’t wait to see how thats going to come out! You better post pics when your make it!
@Crusader:
I used masking tape. I’m pretty crafty when i want to be ^_^
Wow you look amazing. I’m actually trying to buy a shugo chara egg pouch you see. I’m really not an arts and crafts person. I did see some online originally but wow were so expensive! I’m actually on a website that tailors it for you in a way so Im most likely going to do that. Anyway you did a fantasticly amazingly brilliant job! 1000/10!!!
Wow great job! Totally hawt btw.
Aww, we didn’t get to see your pretty face! LOL
Man, it’d be so fun to cosplay once in a while, but I prefer to just walk around taking pictures instead. I haven’t been to an anime convention before anyways ;_;

That sounds soo cute.. pictures pictures pictures!!!!
animemizs last blog post..Japan Probe and Strange Map interesting feeds.
Wow cool! I read your other post about how you were going to create the whole costume and thought wow that’ll be a lot of work, but very impressive! I’m a recent (obsessive) fan for shugo chara so of course I also love the site banner ^_^.
I think it’s awesome that you made it yourself, plus it looks great too.
super ratss last blog post..Aika R-16
HEY THEIRS A WEBSITE CALLED NG SHOPPING
AND THEY SELL THE LOCK AND RAN MIKI AND SU
AND THE EGGS!
lol, such a provocative picture of your chest there.
But this is amazing. Fantastic work on the bag and everything else. You’ll be a splitting image of her when you’re done.
(well.. minus the pettan part, I guess ^^;;;)
Crisus last blog post..ANN: Tokyopop Dividing into Two Separate Companies (Updated)
That looks amazing. Good job!
The bag you made looks better than the official one (that one’s smaller than Amu’s and doesn’t look right)! The bag looks great. And I was glad I could help. I saw the lock on ebay and had to go looking for a better deal myself…it was way too expensive…
FuyuMaidens last blog post..Mistress Fortune (First Impressions)
Nice work on the bag, think I can get a pic or be able to take pics of your cosplay at AX this year? >.> Took my D40 to Comiket this winter in Japan just to take pics of cosplayers there this year and Im still trying to sort through all of them ~~;;
@amd64fx01:
i’ll be posting pics here once the outfit is done so if you see me at AX then just ask for my picture of you like.

Khals last blog post..A Little Wof Inside a Girr ~ Spice and Wolf!
[…] thing i was worried about them most then was the fact of what if they don’t fit in the pouch i already made? Well I’ll explain what happened after […]
I have a question, how did you get the crown in the heart thing?
Do they sell those?? I made a blue one, and I dont know where to get the crown in the heart thing..
@mireille:
i made it myself on my printer, i have special printable cloth so i used that.
I’m in awe. The heart logo is like identical to the one on Amu-chan’s bag. I’m impressed.
The bag u make is aweeeesssommmmmeeee !!!!!! I luv it and may i noe you say that Amu-chan’s bag is $80 + shipping too ? May i noe which website u went to see ? Can i get the web please ? I just want the bag and the skirt onli *-* U may want to sent the details to my e-mail
[email protected]
Thx 🙂
Woah, that’s some crafty work you’ve done there! <3 I need one of these for an Amu cosplay myself, so I might have a crack at this too.
Can I ask, did you draw out the crown/heart logo yourself?
This is cool, but I think mine turned out to small
where did you get that heart logo?? Did you just bought it somewhere?
@Syringa:
made it
really? How? o.O
whaa.. you know… I’ve been searching for such plaid, but I couldn’t find anything that looked like Amu’s..
I finally have something now, but.. it’s kind of different.. I don’t like it =(
but I couldn’t find anything better… *sigh*
hello.. i’m gonna go as amu nxt yr in may to london anime convention ^^ what is the size of amu’s pouch??… thanks

@Mashi:

sorry not for sale and i made the heart design myself
Hey, I really apreciate you showing this, I really needed to know how to make the box, if you figure out a way to make the eggs please tell me. I might even try to make the Charas (including Dia) you’re cosplay lookslike it’s coming along amazingly. I’m still missing a few things, I”ll keep checking your blog. GOOD LUCH AMU CHAN!

omg this is amazing! u r so talented. and ingenius, i would never have thought to do that. Can i post this on my cosplay group? i will give u credit. ~_~ please say yes, because this is so kewl!
OMG! I’m really gratefull ’cause I didn’t see it anywhere and i need it for Amu’s cosplay!
THX A LOT!
i was wondering where you got your fabric from
I really loved this idea, so I hope you don’t mind if I used your basic box, base as a template for mine..
It turned out great! (so far, not completely finished yet.)
Check it out! http://morwenhelyanwe.deviantart.com/art/Shugo-Chara-Egg-holder-pouch-120711619
Hey, excellent work! And… hmm could you please tell me the measurements, please? If it isn’t a bother. Thank you
Hola, I’m a person who wants to cosplay; i’ve never done it before…. and i want to make an amu cosplay if i don’t get it for xmas, so, how do you get the printer that prints on fabric? I really want to make this box! even if it’s just for show, it’s really cute!
Brilliant job. I have also looked at some bags but none of the. Are quite as amazing as this one.
Just a note to some people: To make the heart and crown logo you could also just use a glitter pen or a sparkly hot glue gun.
Thanks for sharing how to make the bag as well >.< I was lost without it.
I hope it I can make mine this good
