Tiny pocket dolls

For the longest time, I have a love/hate relationship with blind boxes. I personally think it's a gamble and therefore a bit of a money trap. But, once in a while I do like to try my luck. Sometimes I get lucky, sometimes no. This is going to be one of those times that I think I got lucky.

I love foxes. So when I saw Kikagoods selling these blind box tiny BJD dolls with a fox girl as their promo photo, I decided "OK, I'm going to try my luck."

Well.... Let's say, sometimes I do get lucky.

While the engineering leaves something to be desired (the head is too heavy for her to stand on her own safely, the tail is too heavy and the connection from body to tail is entirely too fragile), I am still happy that I get to have a cute little fox friend.

Now, I just need to build her a nice little home of her own!

ok i was excited for these two. they’re from the aiye colorful brocade series. they happened to be at a particularly good price so I picked up two at once… and happened to get the two with the most matching color scheme as well. lol. they are sisters, to me…~

also miss tigress accidentally came with two sets of her orange shoes. so i decided to have miss cat match her with them as i think it brings out her orange accents even more :)

Good LORD my anxiety just caused me 3+ weeks of UNNECESSARY suffering.

I was dogsitting about about that long ago, and the first day, the people left at 5:30am. My sleep schedule is severely fucked so I got there as soon as I woke up and got ready, at 3:30pm (the dog holds its bladder for 14-15 hours overnight per their schedule, which to me is insane but whatever)

I get there and there's a stain on the rug. I dab and rinse and blot. I panic to my mom. She says 'oh that's a [natural fiber I'd never heard of] rug, water will stain it/you can't clean them' FUCK

I pour kosher salt on it, i vacuum it up after a while, I get an industrial drier (we had one), my mom consults with a professional carpet cleaner who says you can't clean them, or you can but it's at owner's risk and can make things worse. FUCK.

we research a lot online about pet stains and this fiber type. We try something. It lessened the stain but didn't get rid of it, and it slightly bleached it in parts (my mom couldn't tell but I could. I painted tea on those parts, still looked lighter than before).

Did the best I could until their regular dogsitter and dogwalker came to take over for me for the next week.

Should have told her immediately, but thought i could fix it. I could not, then agonized about how to tell her/how much of a fuckup I was (and feeling like a giant fuckup is why i felt I had to fix it in the first place before telling)

then got distracted with this high stakes stuff that has soon deadlines, so just now told her.

do you know what she said?

She said the stain was there. That she had spilled something.

ARE. YOU. KIDDING. ME.

3 WEEKS OF ANXIOUS SUFFERING

And up high I see you / Reigning beautifully with one swing / My eyes sparkle with happiness / My majesty, I want to love you

do these things have a technical name, other than pagebreakers?

Okay, it's time I contribute something to the bookbinding hobby!

Everyone, here are some transparent pngs of flowers for you to use in your personal bookbinding projects! Fanfics, original stuff, classic lit, journals, whatever it is you do with your fancy papers and your heavy weights, these are for you.

Rules and info below the cut, so please read carefully! (plus links to more dividers)

The graphics are on the small side, and not vectorized, so they won't look very good if you blow them up. They were made with the intent of being placed between lines of text or at the top of chapters.

The light grey versions are ink-savers. They were run over with a screentone. They aren't very sharp-looking, but if you're tight on ink and staring down a 300-page longfic, they'll get you where you need to go.

(If you're curious - they're sakura, sunflowers, and roses, and the graphics are 100% my own creation.)

Rules: These are for individuals and indie creators only - no big box publishers. You can sell what you make with them, but you can't sell the graphics themselves. (However, if you're so moved with gratitude that you'd like to pay me, my patreon is right here.) You can recolor them, or edit them however you need for your projects. You don't have to credit me, but it would be a nice gesture.

You may not use these to promote bigotry or crypto BS. I can't stop you, but if you do, you won't be my friend anymore and you can't come to my birthday party.

Hope they come in handy! If you use them, I wanna see!

Want more styles?

Not sure how this collaboration came about but this CD features Steve Winwood (which probably explains how we discovered it). I like the pipes on this track.

Fox Habitat #3

It's been a while since the last update, but there's some progress. A bit of a surprising find, but hey, it makes sense that a cafe would have some background music, right? Just me?

So I picked up this wooden puzzle/music box set from the local dollar store, and I loved the concept of and took a gamble to see if the sizes would fit. Well, would you look at that!

The size looks pretty plausible! Maybe a tad on the big side, but it's serviceable. I may end up putting on more details on the box itself, but so far so good. We have the first piece of furniture!
