August Update!

Hi everyone out there!

I can't believe it's already August! I have a few new things to update you all with so I thought I'd get it out there

Metrocon went fantastically ^0^ I had a great time seeing fans and fellow artists at the con. Even though I didn't have as much stock as I usually do, it was amazing getting to see your reactions to my creations. I hope I can outdo myself next year!

To my chagrin, I haven't been as active art-wise this year as I wished to be, but it's all been for good cause, I swear! Since late last year I've been writing several books for my publisher, Fox Chapel Publishing. I told you all about Bling it Up! already, but I have quite a few more coming out in the next few months, so I'll let you know about them in the future With most of that out of the way, I'm now focusing on getting my blog to look less vacant too. I hope to be back with more posts about crazy new things I've made in the coming weeks!

The next update I have is about my next kiriban celebration! Thanks to you guys, I'm really close to a nice pageview milestone Once I hit it I'll be holding another giveaway for another crazy item like the one I held 2 months ago. Here's what the figures look like:

DeviantArt pageviews: 115,666/123,456 = 94%
DeviantArt watchers: 4,286/5,000 = 86%
Facebook likes: 1,405/2,000 = 70%
Tumblr followers: 752/1,000 = 75%
Wordpress followers: 1,288/2,000 = 64%

And the last update I have concerns the Monthly Crafting Challenge I've got going on at my blog. If you sign up for email updates to my blog during this month, I'll send a free sewing pattern your way, namely this little guy:


You can also earn patterns by sending me photos of your finished creations. So if you're interested in cute plush patterns I hope you'll give it a try! For August it's this little square watermelon plush with matching basket.

Hopefully if nothing else gets in my way you'll be seeing more updates from me soon! >w<
