staring wistfully at photos of my latest child while attending instead to a rattling lighting instrument larger than my human body u_u #hong-er.quest

hmmmm..... if im going in to work and there's a big soft strike tonight... a matcha latte could not harm me (have to stay up til midnight anyway 🤭)

the stair guardian guardian of the stairs oh my god he swiped for my foot and got a claw caught in my sock when i tried to step over him actually

hands u the tiniest guy

ooouuubh im so close to being done with the newest embroidery but i have to go to woooork <- previous attempt and also how far along i was this morning new bab currently -> shows what i have changed abt the face pattern/scale/placement nicely too! #hong-er.quest

ouhhhh,,, a baby,,

accidentally unfollowing ppl while trying to click on a simple post this morning smh lets go back to bed

me after doing ten millions things today: wow i'm doing great!*sits down after dinner and is suddenly taking an hour long chair nap* ohhh i'm. tired. i see now also WHY am i freezing now that the air con is on it is set to!! 78!!! it's warm! i had it on 70 all winter!

rrughgugugh i have to go shopping today bc i'm almost out of coffee (one of the non-negotiables ToT) AND the only fresh veg in the house is celery..... like i can do a lot with just onions + frozen veg so that could be negotiated but the coffee........

PLEASE CHECK OUT MY FRIEND'S GUIDE TO SWANA/ARAB CLOTHING!!!!! ESPECIALLY FFXIV PEOPLE WHO PLAY THAVNAIRIAN/CORVOSI/ALA MHIGAN CHARACTERS IM BEGGING YOU. orientalism erases the true beauty of these cultures and their traditional clothing and makes these valuable references VERY hard to find!!!

calling this look "hua cheng cooking for gege"

ok ok ok. so much to get done these days. dyed my hair at long last. have to start dinner soon. but AFTER DINNER: • package box for returns • set up next doll face for embroidery • start load of laundry (solid maybe)

ok i gotta go to bed and stop staring at the screen that is making my eyes hurt TT n TT;;;

ouhhhh i have a party for a childhood friend i'm not particularly close to/have much in common with today and i don't wanna goooo but the roommate just finished regaling me with tales of ppl they are having to deal with who just straight up SUCK so actually you know what.

it is lowkey very funny being a person who likes online shopping bc ppl who don't like shopping consider you a wizard and you're like. what. all i did was scroll thru 200 pages of dross for 4 hours picking out things and comparing them and ditching one and finding another---

i don't mind ppl doing laundry at my house (yay friends) but i am kinda sad every time my whole house smells like scented detergent after >(

the walls in my house (condo) are SO stupid (like. less than 2" of mixed drywall and bare air before you hit. steel or concrete or something otherwise undrillable) i got hopeful and tried to use the hardware that came with a shelf but it was still too long ToT;;

started drawing mooming and realized all the careful cow leg + hoof anatomy i had been studying was gonna get... covered up by his floof anyway,,,,, TT w TT;;;;

hualian kiss sketch :3c

hmmm sometimes there's really nothin like looking at ur bank account to convince yourself that you need to suck it up and eat something out of your fridge instead of takeout (⁠•⁠ ⁠▽⁠ ⁠•⁠;⁠)

i am so close to having these doll clothes patterns be finalized + learned SO MUCH abt construction (getting really into watching ppl make doll customs really taught me. that the order u should be doing some of these seams/hems in. is quite different from human scale ^^;;;; )

uh-oh!! you have touched your eyes with hands that have recently petted your cat and they are UnHappy :( :'( :''(

the council of hua chengs has approved my posts.....

nooo i am accumulating so much to do this weekend/next week i am starting to worry abt my sewing goals for the con ToT;;;;;

[emetophobia cw ?] me telling my terrible little cat not to puke directly under my computer chair (on my slippers) (rescues my slippers just in time bc he definitely puked there anyway)

lrt: man i'm feeling that a LOT lately since i've been consumed by slower-process projects like the dolls as opposed to drawings where i can whip out anywhere from 1 every 4 days to 4 in one day TT o TT;;

it do be like this sometimes

literally what the FUCK did i do to this batch of brownies.... they are somehow BOTH fudgey AND fluffy + cakelike.... it was either something smth the acidity of the coffee substitution for water or that i accidentally preheated the oven to 350 and dropped it down to the box 325 as i put them in...

there are not words for how much i adore him, but i sat down briefly and he moved in before i could grab breakfast.....

i said a lot of things abt not being sure i was up to getting anything done today earlier compared to how much shit i actually did today.... hoping this was not a sign i was pulling knives instead of spoons owo;;;;;;;; (we will find out tomorrow ig)

you know when you watch a youtuber run into a snag and you immediately know what the problem is and you are DYING because you can't just TELL them (bc this was from 2 years ago) (and also i get real tired of the comments only being corrections so i'd be hesitant to add to that anyway ToT;; )

finally showered and clean but now i am all tuckered out and struggling to find the will to do anything else today,,,,, 🥺

hahhahahaa ok so. hear me out it may not have been on any of my current project deadline lists bUT! ive had the materials + plan for this apron for over 2 years so! it's totally a worthwhile machine test project!!

da;ghagh OH WOW,,, human for scale man look at this ankole cow.... i do not think we are drawing hybrid hua cheng's horns big enough x''''D

once again i do not want to shower..... but i must so i can go play with the new sewing machine.....

the thing abt me is. u give me a mer au. and now i know just SO MUCH abt fish. anyway i am reading SO MUCH about cows lately. did you know cows as a species apparently (anecdotal, not sourced claim) prefer sweet flavors. im losing it.

once again curled in my computer chair sleeping before even 8pm

errands were sooo exhausting today but uHHHHHM HMM HM HM ,,,,, oops new sewing machine after all? ....now i just gotta figure out how to get some of those stickers safely off there and transferred maybe ToT;;;

oubhgh,,, sleepy ,,,,,, tragedy of having to wake up the dreamy twitchy cat to go to bed myself

in the aquarium theme, forgot to post vids i took at the shedd aquarium last weekend!!! here are their baby moon jellies-- just 3 months old!!!! devastating

i in no way need a new sewing machine (other than a few minor problems with my current one that may well be inexperienced user error) and i just got mine endearingly sticker personified /BUT/ i just found a new dream machine.... babylock.com/machines/sew...

sketchies for the two major costume plans :3 will i die? maybe! but at least i will look cute doing it! (t-minus 20 days to con, i don't HAVE to make anything for either of these, they're closet-ready, but....i COULD--- /slaps self NO. FINISH DOLL.) #sao.art

every time i search for something for "large bust" etc and get returned results that do not go over a DDD cup i become rage. that's NOT BIG WTFFFFFFFFFFFF

how dare i need to stop doing crafting things to make dinner aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa why can dinner not magically appear (but not take out that costs money)

when the piece u are writing would probably hit better if u like. did more on it but also u already wrote everything u want to AND it's twice the length u thought it was gonna be anyway......

could have SWORN i wrote down my ground beef & barley stew recipe but i cannot find it in my folder and i am. distressed.

love every time i absolutely GET my roommate by clearly being one of the first times he's lived with someone weirder than himself x'''D like bro u r also on tumblr so i'd think the way i talk would be old news but i love that u think my turns of phrase are hilarious

i have learned the method to the kind of hair i want at last!!! you have to make it all part of the head!!!! here it is with the bangs basted to the face and the sticky-out bits basted to the back of the head #hong-er.quest #plushdolls
