Happy Winter ILD Everyone!!!

Sewing is the most fulfilling skill I've ever learned to do. There's something about how happy a handmade item makes me feel, how beautiful handmade garments make me feel. One coord of a whole series soon to be a YouTube lookbook video. I'm really pushing myself out of this rotting era I've been in.

JSK, Bag, Headdress, Wristcuffs: Handmade

Socks: off-brand/I don't remember where I got them

Shoes: Target

Blouse: (thrifted) Bodyline

Today is winter International Lolita Day Winter ILD is rarely celebrated in Montreal because it's always cold and often snowy/slushy, but I am actually doing a small thing tomorrow. Summer ILD (in June) is quite big in Montreal, though! It's the opposite for Tokyo, since December is mild and June is already too hot and humid (often rainy too). Well, corona cancelled ILD for a while, but I think meets are back now that I am gone. I know this is the same skirt as the one used in my last outfit, but it was the only lolita outfit I had edited in my pile of recent pictures. Anyway, I only have two lolita skirts and two lolita dresses with me right now. I am trying to experiment with indoor self-timed pictures, and it's been a bit hard since it's so much darker here than in my last apartment. Sorry for the grains! Outfit Skirt: second-hand Mary Magdalene Cardigan and turtleneck: second-hand Fint Hat: vintage Shoes: second-hand Yosuke (don't worry, I washed them before wearing them on thecarpet) Brooches and earrings: vintage, thrifted and handmade

Prayers for Lennon, January 2024

To our family and friends,

This month is a big one for our family, especially for Lennon. He will be going in for a follow up CT scan tomorrow morning at Beaumont RO. This scan will show us whether his lungs have worsened, healed, or stayed the same. It will be the first time we’re seeing the condition of his lungs since August. The last scan showed an abnormal result — lots of holes and scarring on his lungs. We have been waiting for this scan and praying so hard to see improvement in his lungs. We want our baby to be on his way to healing and to experience life without the need for supplemental oxygen if it’s in God’s will for him. More than that, it’s our hope that this scan will give his pulmonologist and team of doctors new information. Up until now, they’ve been clueless in how to treat Lennon’s lung disease. We are hoping this scan offers new insight that gives his doctors a new angle to consider. We are anxious yet hopeful about his results and would appreciate prayers for strength and peace as we wait.

Following his scan, we’d also like to ask for prayer for Lennon’s upcoming appointment at C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital / UofM on January 9th. We are seeking a second opinion at UofM and we’re praying so hard that there is a doctor on their pulmonology team that has seen or cared for a baby like Lennon before. His lung disease is not a common one which has made it hard to find care for him. We are praying for just ONE doctor who knows how to treat Lennon or at least point us in the right direction.

We are growing weary from all the uncertainties. We don’t know what type of lung disease Lennon has or how severe it is — only that it’s interstitial lung disease (an umbrella term). We don’t know how life threatening the disease is. We don’t know how long we have with our baby. My own research tells us it’s between 3-5 years for babies born with ILD. We don’t know if he’s in pain or if he needs immediate intervention to give him the best chance at a long and healthy life. We need some definite answers to be at peace. We don’t want our baby to suffer more than he has to if there’s something we could be doing to help ease his pain now.

We’re preparing ourselves for changes following Lennon’s pulmonology appointment at UofM. We don’t know what will be required of us once he’s an established patient there. Whether we’ll need to make the commute to Ann Arbor often, or have Lennon readmitted for observation, or even be turned away…we’re just praying that the Lord provides us with what we need for every outcome.

Please pray for these specific things and anything else you feel led to pray for. We are so grateful for each of you and we couldn’t do any of this without your support and love. We will update you as we receive his results and process what it will mean for our family. Thank you so much.

All our love, Gloria and James

🌼Happy ILD!!🌼

I went to the biggest meet up that I've ever been to! There were 50 people there!! We had a raffle and a lunch that was really nice. It was so cool meeting so many new people and everyone looked so pretty!

Captain Chris is wearing some doll clothes that I found last night. My mom says that that dress could be 60 or 70 years old! I wish AATP would make Chris clothing the same way they have Kumya clothing.

I'm sad that these photos don't show the back of my hat because there are sunflowers all around the crown of my hat, hence why I have the yellow flowers in my hair.

Happy ILD, I didn't go to a meet but I did wear this JSK for the first time.

I made this JSK in 2021 but never wore it since I struggled to coord it after it was finished. So it just sat in my wardrobe until I was willing to try again.

Happy International Lolita Day! My comm had a Wizard of Oz themed meet.

[ephemeral-lace]

In June our comm went to the local zoological institute for ILD. My partner volunteers there and we frequent it in our free time so I'm a bit of an unofficial tour guide and know a lot of the animals' names 😅

Between the endless poplar fuzz and my old AP purse flaking and peeling my black dress was a mess so here's pre-meet photos.

Head, dress: Baby, the stars shine bright

Blouse, Socks: Metamorphose

Necklace: Maxicimam

Ring: Angelic Pretty
