Naruto: Tenten

Tenten is the only female member of Team Guy, and she longs to prove that a female ninja can be just as skilled as any male ninja. Of all of the protagonists in the series, Tenten receives the least amount of screen time. However, series creator Kishimoto Masashi favors her design more than any other female characters he created. Her Japanese Seiyuu is Tamura Yukari and her English voice actor is Danielle Judovits.

Beautiful cosplay by Zhyrhe! This is a pretty popular photo on the net, but I wish people would link her back to her Deviant Art account. Thanks again to Yukino for sending this in!

a lovely pair

I've been Mrs Stitchy fingers recently, pumping out some blanket softies/cushions for my Camberwell Market stall. I love this pair of love birds, they look so cute together. I'm really enjoying sewing these blanket softies, you can keep the shapes and motifs really simple because the blankets do all the talking. I'll have some more photo's of other designs over the next couple of weeks and you can see them in person at my next market stall on the 12 of June. I've never really sold anything I've made before. I've been making these blanket softies, some super hero capes for kids out of vintage sheets and some cute leather brooches so I'll be interested to see what the reception is like.

The kids have been quite kind to me and have largely left me to sew while they play (one of the benefits of them getting older I guess), it's so nice to be able to do something for myself, I just wish I didn't have to keep stopping to do housework.

Happy Memorial Day and My New Umbrella

Yes, the patio is still a work in progress. I have been so busy lazy lately and the last thing I want to do is pick up a paint brush. But in order for the patio to be done, the back portion must be painted. I hate painting chippy, dirty concrete.

I ordered an umbrella to help bring some additional shade to the back area. I can use the umbrella with my table or I can move it out with my stand to another section of the backyard. I am still looking at some additional patio furniture / garden furniture to complete my look.  One bonus of blogging is that the fine people at www.everypatiofurniture.com sent me my umbrella for a blog post exchange.  So don't ever let them tell you blogging is not lucrative.  I think between the 3 years I have been blogging, I am averaging 1/2 cent a day on my monetary return but my return from the heart has been priceless!

So, if you are looking for a large market type umbrella (great price $49!!), you will love the one I ordered. It is on a wood pole with a very easy rope pulley system.  The umbrella opens very gracefully and gives you two different settings of openness.  I also love the neutral color!

Here is the link to the umbrella I ordered: http://www.everypatiofurniture.com/Bond-9-Market-Umbrella-Natural-Y99151.htm

Be sure to check out http://www.everypatiofurniture.com/ for all kinds of great patio and garden furniture ideas. I promise to get off my lazy butt & paint!

Have a great holiday-

Blood+: Otonashi Saya

Born in 1833 from one of two cocoon-like objects taken from the belly of a chiropteran mummy, Saya was adopted by Joel Goldschmidt and treated as his daughter, while her sister Diva, who was initially left nameless, was locked in tower. Saya did not know about Diva’s existence until 1863, when she heard Diva singing and gave her a name. During a birthday party for Joel, however, Diva’s true nature emerges, as she was released to sing in the party but ended up slaughtering everyone in the Goldschmidt household. Saya then spent her periods of activity hunting Diva, trying to kill her, her chevaliants, and any chiropterans they have created.

It’s a bit scary and disturbing, but I’m hoping that’s fake blood on Lenneth’s hands. Thanks to Katrina for sending this and to Razin for the awesome photography!

Vocaloid 2: Megurine Luki and Megurine Luka

Now here is a Megurine Luka cosplay you don’t get to see everyday.

I thought they were two Lukas at first, but apparently, he is actually Luki, the genderbent version of Luka. Luki sings one or two octaves lower than Luka, giving her a male voice despite using the same voice configuration. Among the Japanese fandom, voice configuration is often the way Genderbent Vocaloids are created.

In any case, great cosplay by Astellecia and Hiyuki! Please be sure to visit their galleries too!

Card Captor Sakura: The Flower

The Flower card was first introduced in the 10th episode of Card Captor Sakura. It appeared during a sport’s day festival at Sakura’s school because it likes happy occasions. She then proceeded to make tons of flowers rain down and almost buried everyone in the school. When Sakura found her, she danced with her before allowing the new card captor to seal her away.

Beautiful cosplay by Bellatrix Aiden! The way she interpreted the Flower card is absolutely stunning! Thanks to Alyssa for sending this in!

Kirin - 2011 Star Festival Papercraft (Tanabata)

Kirin (Japan) has three new Tanabata (Star Festival) papercrafts for 2011 - bamboo decoration (sasakazari), the lovers Orihime and Takiboshi, and a star guide.

The three papercrafts are split into 6 parts, one release per week.

Tanabata originated more than 2,000 years ago with an old Chinese tale called Kikkoden. Once there was a weaver princess named Orihime and a cow herder prince named Hikoboshi living in space. After they got together, they were playing all the time and forgot about their jobs. The king was angry at them and separated them on opposite sides of the Amanogawa River (Milky Way). The king allowed them to meet only once a year on the seventh day of the seventh month in the lunar calendar. Tanabata literally means the night of the seventh, and it's also known as the star festival. -Shizuko Mizima

Genetically Altered Paper Toy - Speaker Phone

I was looking for inspiration on a custom for this template, & the idea of the phone buttons sprung to mind. After which, adding speakers seemed a good move, hence the name Speaker Phone.

Angel Beats!: Yui 02

Despite being hyperactive and sometimes childish, Yui can also be “jokingly” rude to her colleagues, and even throw trash talk to Hinata and the others. Her upbeat personality may have stemmed from her being paralyzed from the neck down due to a car accident when she was still alive. Although it is unknown how she died, it can be assumed that her body somehow broke down in some way.

Very cute Yui! Even her pose seems to scream hyperactivity, but she’s missing her signature shackle bracelets! Thanks to anon for sending this!
