Cute resources: MiniTokoVille

Hi there~
Ahh, I thought it would be a nice idea to start a new section to spread the cute-resources-love, because there are so many awesome things out there, that the sharing spree is never enough xD (If you find I'm talking kinda weird it's because it's two in the morning. Yey.) (Ah, I just remembered I have to wake up in four hours xD. Yey again.)
Be it cute things to add to your blog, myspace page, scrapbooking stuff, home, life, or whatever I think it could help to make things prettier, I'll post it here. I'll probably add marketing stuff because things like this are resources too... I wonder if they will be cute xD I hope so.

So, this time it's MiniToko's turn.

You can find LOTS of digital goodies in MiniTokoVille, and believe me, there are the cutest thing you can ever add to your projects. I was about to say "scrapbooking projects" but you can really use them anywhere. I used some to make a catalog of my little amigurumi creatures and accesories, and you can embellish probably whatever comes to mind. So, be creative and play whit MiniToko's goodies! You can purchase her products, or you can put your hands onto some of her freebies (or both!), check them out, they're AWESOME.

So, Choco is out. Have a lovely day~!

Valentine~

Hi everyone~ how you've been doing?

I've been in that kind of mood where I didn't feel like posting nothing at all, so I consider this last week like a little break after the holidays~ But now I'm back again!

So, I've been thinking on some things for my etsy shop to celebrate Valentine's Day, and I felt like I JUST HAD to do this.

What do you think? Aww, aren't they cute? I'll make some little accesories to make them more boyish and girlish xD. I was just feeling a little lazy to make them now. Gosh, I'm a desaster ~_~

They would be awesome cake toppers, that's the first thing that came to mind when I finished them ♥♥♥

I'll be posting them on my Etsy shop tomorrow if I don't get lost in my cloud of procrastination xD (it's not funny, I know). I'm planning on making some crochet hearts and maybe something else, but I'm not sure what will be yet. Hm...

Next week I'll meet with Miki to give her her gifts from the giveaway (yeah, a little late ;_;), and I'll start a new one aprox. on Monday 17th :3 so I want to ask you: is there something you would like to get as a prize on the giveaway? I'll take your opinions in consideration and try to make everyone happy :3

On other news, my lovely Asmoix has started a fashion blog~ It's pretty new and it only has a few entries, but it would make her really happy if you comment or follow her blog. She's great~ (and such a glam-fashion whore xD)

Procrastination: What's your vice?

As I said in some other posts on this blog, I'm a procrastinator. I get incredibly easily distracted over the most insignificant thing. That's why I can't be constant with blogging, that's why it takes me so much to make stuff, and that's probably why I feel the time passes so fast. I try to work on it as much as I can, but usually I fail.

This is what you get when you search "FOCUS" on Google Images. But you get the point, right?

This morning, for example, I was determined to write a post here. My kids go to school in the mornings, so usually that's my free time to make things for myself, like crochetting or taking care of my etsy shop, posting stuff and such. I had a really strong determination to do so.

At 11 in the morning I realized I had nothing of this done, and instead I wasted a lot of time in some random website about random stuff. I was really pissed off because I really wanted to do something useful with my time.

Eventually, I found out I'm not the only one who gets easily distracted. Searching around on some blogs about blogging, I found this website. If you have the same problem as me, do yourself a favor and watch that video:

http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2009/11/18/blogging-focus-on-content-creation/

So now, I'm writing this. Because a video said it xD

No, but really. I'm trying really hard to keep myself away from procrastination, because I love what I do and I feel I could do a lot more if I just wasn't wasting time on poupeegirl -.-

Probably it's to much to ask for, but I hope this helps you too~

Have a nice day~!

Randomly cute

Esta semana me encargaron algunas cositas :3 asi que voy a estar trabajando en eso, aunque no se si voy a poder entregarlo el dia que prometi (lunes 21). Espero poder hacerlo ^^

Ademas de trabajar, estuve distrayendome (MUCHO) con cositas de DecoDen (termino que se utiliza para todo lo que tenga que ver con decoracion de celulares). Es increible la cantidad y calidad de cosas que se venden en internet. Me encantaria conseguir material para hacerlo aca, pero la verdad que la veo muy dificil. Dejo un link a una pagina en donde explican que materiales usar y como empezar con estas cositas :3 (la mayoria no se consigue aca)

http://hikaria.com/2010/05/09/ultimate-sweets-deco-tutorial-getting-started/

Hablando de cosas que no se consiguen, estuve buscando goma (de las de borrar, tipo Staedler) en bloques para poder hacer sellos mas grandes, pero no consegui en ningun lado. Averiguando en amazon.com vi que hay no solo bloques, si no tambien las gubias para tallarlas (todo el mundo usa marca Speedball), super finitas para hacer sellos mas delicados y complejos. Un sueño ;_; voy a ver si las puedo comprar.

Ando con ganas de hacer un tutorial de las cookies :3 voy a ver si me pongo las pilas y lo preparo. Nunca en mi vida hice uno xD asi que bueno, paciencia.

El dia de la Otaku Matsuri lleve a este bebe, pero nadie lo compro u.u no es re bonito? Encima hace propaganda ;3;

Nos vemos pronto!
