Informational Website (FA 3600 Project 1)

For the past few weeks, I worked on a brief website covering the basics of the TI-83 Plus graphing calculator, with a twist! I take on an entertainment point of view, showing you all about the ways to transform your calculator into a gaming/programming/drawing device.

Here is the final website:

Skating in a winter wonderland!

So it seems that I get rather excited early about seasonal changes! ^^;; This week's blog should be about Halloween, but I already did that a few weeks ago. Haven't you noticed though? All the stores are pushing their Halloween merchandise to the side and putting Christmas stuff front and center! Goodness they're over two months early ^^;;; Today we're going to dress up for a chilly

day!

The Story---☆

ⓢⓣⓔⓟ ①

Here's your typical teddy bear. Very cute. Very "bear" (haha yes, pun intended ^_~) In this case the scarf is attached to the bear (permanently.)

ⓢⓣⓔⓟ ②

A rather simple blue dress make her more feminine! Hey look, she's even smiling ^_^

ⓢⓣⓔⓟ ③

Here are the winter accessories that every bear needs.

ⓢⓣⓔⓟ ④

A few additions and she already looks very wintery!

ⓢⓣⓔⓟ ⑤

For the finale, a faux fur coat! She looks very elegant and refined ^_^ Time for some ice skating fun, in style!

Talk Au Courant---☆

Fur coats and accessories are certainly a must for winter elegance. Though it is generally not accepted to wear all white during the winter (according to one of my friends, who happens to subscribe to GQ ...) due to something about after some day ... or something I'm still not clear on, I personally think white is perfect! Though her colors may evoke chilly feelings, she still looks very warm!

Country Bunnies

Back to the countryside this week, this time with bunnies! Here we have an adorable mother and baby pair wearing matching clothing! Again, simplicity is the theme~~~

The Story---☆

My mom bought this set for me when I was very young ^_^ It comes with another outfit for the mom bunny, too! I think it's supposed to play some music too but it doesn't work anymore ^^;;;

Talk Au Courant---☆

The matching fabric and straw hats are perfect for these two! I really love the sky blue and white theme, it gives a nostalgic but carefree feeling. The loose overalls add to that carefree mood as well. The baby bunny's oversized bib makes it very cute and cuddly. I love the embellishments on their hats as well!

The beginnings of a fashion line ^_^

Up until now, I haven't designed my own outfits yet for my stuffed animals. So guess what? Featuring Pikachu, this is the beginning of my very own fashion line! ^_^

The Story---☆
This outfit was made several years ago. As a beginner, I really had no idea how to sew. My mom is very talented so I had her help out a little bit as well. She had some scrap fabric so I decided to make an outfit for Pikachu ^_^ I roughly sketched out the design onto the fabric without making a pattern first. Then I cut out the design and had my mom sew the edges (as well as fix the crookedness of my design ^^;;;). It was certainly a lot of fun! Even to this day, when it comes to working with the thread and needle, I tend to improvise on the spot ^^;;; My creativity tends to attack me right on the spot so there is little time to plan (hehe) ^^;;;

Talk Au Courant---☆
Pikachu! Thunderbolt, n...ow... er ... I mean ... flowerbolt? XD Pikachu looks just like a country girl, especially with the flowered pattern fabric! The yellow shawl goes very well with Pikachu's fur. I love how both the shawl and skirt are very flowy and carefree just like a flower in the wind. Though this outfit is uncoordinated, in this situation it works pretty well. Simple, yet elegant, it makes me want to smile ^_^

Hello Kitty's Panda Costume

October is here! And what do we associate October with? HALLOWEEN! Though it may be a little bit early, it doesn't harm to get into the spirit!

(Like the ghost picture I took of her? I'm taking a digital photography class this semester and I decided to use her as my subject in the creative flash assignment. This was done using a long exposure with 2 bursts of flash.)

The Story---☆

I saw this Hello Kitty plush last week at Target, however, because of the $7 price tag, I didn't buy it. I couldn't stop thinking about how adorable it was in its panda costume so I gave in and bought it this weekend ^_^ It's well worth the money hehe! ~

Talk Au Courant---☆

Hello Kitty's panda bear costume is KAWAII!!! (meaning cute in Japanese) Her panda hood comes off to reveal her normal head ^_^ Though a simple concept, the simplicity makes it all the cuter! Her red bow also brings a nice contrast to her outfit as well. Gosh she's so cute I could melt! That's all for this time~
