It’s nice once in a while to have a weekend just to work on your own personal projects. Mine has been both relaxing and productive since I managed to spend time on a few of my hobbies.
Photography
There’s something that’s been on my “to buy” list for a while now, and I finally bought it. It arrived on Friday – a 50mm f/1.8 Canon lens. I’ve been messing around with it, mainly using Peanut as my model:
I love it so far and can’t wait to go out to take more shots with it :3
Webdesign
I uploaded a new design to Shattered-Wings.net. The idea came about when I thought, well, I know Prototype and Scriptaculous well. Why haven’t I used them on my sites yet?
I feel like Shattered-Wings.net has become my playground for any weird, impractical, and/or experimental ideas I have. Over the years, the content has become so barebone that I can think of the design first then shove the content in there afterward. That’s really the only site I can do that to XD;;
Sewing
Today, I started on making the pants to my next cosplay costume, Haku from Spirited Away. I’ve been working on the blue outfit he wears underneath.
I was making really good progress and was very determined to finish them today, but then…! I ran out of thread D= I was so close too! I just needed to hem the bottom and add an elastic waistband. Oh well, it will just have to wait another day.
I didn’t mention gaming, even though I did some, but… I game everyday anyway, so it’s nothing special XD;;
haha, that cat is really adorable! do dive into your hobbies some more and take more of him/her? :D
and it’s cool you can sew! my friends tried teaching me the art, but i … just can’t, haha. the inside out thing is confusing, the different stitches… um, as long as what i’m sewing gets stuck together, i’m cool with my work, lol. hope you get some more of this time to yourself!
aww.. I wish I get a break too and spend my day working on personal projects and hobbies.. I can’t wait for the finished product for Spirited Away cosplay. You must have felt annoyed when you ran out of thread.. XD OMG, congrats on finishing your new layout :D It looks awesome.. I checked all the buttons and go crazy clicking all of them even though I had been on your site lots of times.. :3 ooh.. can I apply for a sibling with my collective domain as well?? :D
I can’t wait to see more of your photography.. and whenever I see a picture of Mr. Peanut on your blog.. I go to my cat, and cuddle with her.. LOL
Congrats with a new lense, watching Peanut makes me want a cat ;__;
Oooh, if you’re doing Haku, does this mean there will be Chihiro too? :D
I thought the Haku costume was a pair of scrubs! o.o It looks a little like the scrubs in Scrubs, haha. Especially that blue color. XD That lense (and your camera) takes gorgeous pictures. I’d love to see what kind of skyscapes you could get with it.
Kittttyy!!!! Mr. Peanut’s second picture looks so squishable.
That’s one of the bonuses with a rather barren site. It’s a lot easier to play around with the design since it’s meant to be short & sweet.
Looks like Sutaru was having similar thoughts on how it kinda looks like scrubs from Scrubs haha. If it was that light green, it would look like it even more :P
OH my god those pictures are adorable! I need a camera that can take such detailed pictures as those :P
Aww, cute kitty! I’d love to get a nice camera one day to take awesome pictures like those, but I realized that I’m not very good at photography. Oh well, lol.
But yes, more pictures with your new camera please!
Hi Cat! I laughed out loud when I saw the kitty’s face. I used to think smooshed face kitty’s were ugly, but I think they grew on me. I had a friend who had a cat like this named Squidwart. LOL
I LOOOOOVE Spirited Away and most of Hayao Miyazaki’s works and the under clothes of Haku looks awesome! Can’t wait to see the finished results.
Your website by the way, is very unique indeed, its fun clicking on it. ^O^
