raspberry chocolate

Spring came!  Actually, summer came!!  Just for a short visit, but it was fantastic.  It may be that that short burst of 80-degree weather spoiled the next few weeks when things dropped down to the 40s... but that's looking into the future; let's not do that here.  It was a beautiful, sun-shining, warm warm day with spring flowers popping open, and kitties and lys running around happily in the outdoors.

sweater dress - Wet Seal

I put my hair in a braid, and it looked very nice for about 30 seconds.  But then strands started coming out everywhere and it was a mess.  Arg.  My hair is at that in-between point where it's not quite long and not exactly short.  At least it can usually decide whether it's going to be curly or straight from one day to the next... (tee hee).

I actually did this drawing in the morning, not at night-last-thing-before-bed.  I was sooo sleepy that morning.  Maybe it was a grey day.  Today is a grey day too... *zonk*

a strawberry

This outfit's theme was strawberry!  Or at least I think of strawberries when I see it?  I was wearing a strawberry hat part of the day too, but I didn't draw it.  I guess this could be watermelon-colours too, but the little flowers on the top make me think of strawberry blossoms.  So there.

I had these knit flowers lying around for a project I haven't got around to finishing (...) and when I was trying to figure out what to do with my hair, I realized they would look really cute pulling my braids back! (yes, hair is still in braids, mostly.)  So I pinned 'em in, and one of them had long enough yarn-tails that I could actually braid the ends with my hair to get a colourful braid mixed in with the plain ones.

(another post I can't fit all the tags in.  arg.)

sleeveless top - It's Our Time (Kohl's?)

I put my hair in a bunch of tiny little braids a couple days before this.  They were fun to have but kind of a pain to draw.  You'll be seeing them for a while though...

I'm gonna be a little inconsistent with the brand captions, because I'm lazy and by now I think most of my clothes have been listed at least once with the brand or I've forgotten where they came from (like my socks and tights).

Look!  I'm doing soooo good at updating regularly, huh?  Huh?  Praise me!  Well, but I'm still two and a half weeks behind.  Anyway!  This update has more updates attached!  I scanned the dress pattern and finished off some other drawings with it.  It's a brown-paisley-dress-extravaganza!

I had a headache when I drew this.  I think it was from drinking soda.  My body isn't used to all those chemicals and high fructose corn syrup!  Danger, danger!!

nothing new for the new year

Eheheheh.  Nothing to see here... I spent the night at my parents' and didn't bring a change of clothes, so I had to wear the same thing again.  And then when I got home around 2pm (after the traditional visit to the Bargain Bookstore (they have a half-off-everything sale every New Year's Day)), I didn't feel like changing with half the day already gone and no plans to do anything or go anywhere (aside from a quick run to my friends' place to check on their guinea pigs, and they couldn't care less what I was wearing).  So I just curled up with my blankets and read manga all day.

sparkling new year

Happy New Year's Eeeeeve!!

That's sparkling juice, by the way. Champagne tastes gross. To match the juice, I also wore sparkly earrings and sparkly shoes! Hurrah!

Hope everyone has a great 2011! I'll do my best to keep drawing and posting fashion into 2012!!

grey knit love

Grey is my favourite non-colour.  It's so much more interesting than white or black!  Warm greys are especially nice.  Knit fabric (like soft tshirt material) is also nice.  When I was little, I had a grey dress of knit material with a pink flower print, and I loved it to bits (not literally).  It was warm and cozy, and when I spun around wearing it, it twirled up fabulously.  This dress reminds me of it a little!

diamonds and dots

My head is swimming with colours right now, as I just did some more catching up and coloured a few older drawings, which you can see h-e-r-e-! (or just check out late June and early July dates).

Now I kind of want to take a nap like in this drawing!

runnin' boots!

Boots!  Lys, how are you not tipping over, running like that?

This is probably the most accurate drawing/colouring of these boots, of the three I've posted so far. Sometimes I refer to the original item of clothing as I'm colouring but sometimes I don't.  This time they were still sitting right behind me, but if they're in my closet or by the front door, you see what my brain thinks the boots (or any other item of clothing) look like when I'm not actually looking at them.  It's kind of fascinating, actually (at least I think so).

I also wore my pink fuzzy scarf for most of the day (indoors!) but I forgot to draw it!!  Too bad.

cat crazy

Two and a half(?) days into cat-sitting—their hiding and glaring at me and general anti-social behaviour started to get to me.  It can put one on edge, spending hours in an empty house and your only company is cats who might possibly hate you.

(Don't) notice how the dot pattern gets slightly more sparse on the bottom half of my shirt.  Guess which part I did first!  Whoops.  The real shirt's pattern is probably twice as dense, but I was working quickly so I'd have an update to share with you, my kind viewers♥
