I’ve finally finished my new tumblr layout!! This is what I’ve been spending the past week or two on. o.o

New layout, beginning of a new summer.. everything is feeling right! c;

Decided to do a trial with putting sponsor banners in the sidebar.. we’ll see how it goes and if I’ll keep it there or not. :]

I am done looking at html and css for at least a week now…

Now that I have a fresh layout I will be adding a bunch of new items to my etsy shop and starting a new giveaway very very soon~~ ;D

p.s. I might still play around with font and link colors so they are slightly less obnoxious :p

My week in instagram~

Left to right, top to bottom:

1. “My left front tooth got chipped tonight DD;”
2. “Lovely weather~~ c;
3. “I was still in bed, and Toast was sitting on the couch in the next room just watching me…”
4. “Was going to upload a photo of my new hot pink hair, but then glitch happened”
5. “I don’t know why but Toast sits like a person about 80% of the time”
6. “Sweetpea and Fay lip color from @sassynpunk c;”

My username is @szmoon if anyone’s interested! c;

I know I haven’t been posting much in the past few weeks, so here’s a little update on what I’ve been up to~

This wednesday was my last day of classes, so to celebrate I went out with the film and video club on their barcrawl. I’m not actually a part of the club though I’ve helped on some of their projects, but Michael (behind me) and Chuntanay (on my left) are. It was a night full of friends and dancing, two really great things. :]

On the last day of class I wore a sin kitten shirt. It was slightly fitting because our group was presenting on something called the “wheel of hate” (long story :p). But anyway, I decorated my nails with pen during critique because I was hyped up on iced tea and needed to use my energy somehow other than sitting, haha..

Before school shuts down its labs for the summer I’m trying to make use of my access to a laser cutter, and am making a bunch of new items for my etsy shop, as well as some personalized jewelry for my friends and myself. ;p Here’s an instagram preview from yesterday~

If you’re interested in laser cutting yourself, you can check out my intro tutorial here. c;

I still have a research paper for my seminar due on monday, as well as a couple more finals this coming week. But after that I am free! Look out world, I’m going to take full advantage of my summer free time to make and sew everything I possibly can. ;p

MakeMeChic.com started Make Me Chic Mondays on their blog this week, where they feature fashion pictures, designs, etc! And I got chosen as their first feature! c;

Lovely photography done by my boyfriend Michael~~

p.s. If you are willing to vote for me in Lockshop’s Good or Evil outfit contest, I’d love you foreverrr. n_n All you have to do is go to this photo and click “like” :D Thank you guys!

This Saturday I had a booth at the Boneyard Arts Festival! :] The festival is a four day long event in Urbana-Champaign, which is a college campus a few hours south of Chicago (basically the middle of nowhere :p ). Each of the four days is held in a different part of town, so I had my booth up on Saturday during the Urbana day.

This was actually my first time having my own personal booth at a fair. :D In the past I did a ton of arts and craft shows with my parents, and still help my dad with his booth every summer at a local French Market. I think all of that experience helped me know what to prepare for this booth. :]

Here are some close-up shots of the table..

I made the t-shirt displays the night before setting up. xD All I had was one large and one small cardboard box, so I had to figure out a design that would let me create three displays out of the materials I had~ I’ll try and upload a small diagram if anyone is interested in recreating a stand for themselves. :]

My friend Sam was also showing her work! She does some lovely photography:

And my boyfriend came to visit with my favorite drink of all time~~ (he also helped me take most of the photos in this post c: )

And finally, here’s sneak shot (she doesn’t always like her photo taken) of my roommate Caro when she was visiting. ;p

All in all it was a good day. :] I didn’t sell too much but it was kind of expected, since the crowd wasn’t the exact type that would buy my clothing. But it was still a good, first solo booth experience. Now it’s time to get back to real life (and stop making clothes) and bury myself in research papers and final projects, haha..

P.S. I’m going to put up a new giveaway for a crop top and hair bow soon! Which shirt design would you guys prefer?

I met the Joker yesterday. ;p

Last night I was helping my friend Chuntanay with the filming of a short mocumentary, which happened to include some Batman characters. :]

I can’t wait to see the video when it’s done. :o I’m not much of a film person so all of this movie-making process is still rather new to me, it’s really fun to watch how it works~

Here’s a photo of the crew. :] (Michael was part of the team too~)

And then later Jason (the Joker) put on his wig to be a different version of the Joker. :D

art of the team too, haha)
