Grah, it's been a mad house around here lately. I'll try to get a real update up soon! Moving threw a monkey wrench into my plans.

Brand New Octobloops, Halloween style
Finally moved in and getting settled now. Sorry for the lull in posts!
That's not the focus of this post though, I'd like to present three new Bloops that are the beginning of my "dress up" Bloop line. Every Holiday will bring a few new Bloop styles <3
Without further delay:
Are you a good Bloop
Or a bad Bloop?
I has yarn!....wait...I AM yarn! :O
That's all for now!

Moving update and B's Giveaway
Well moving is going along slow but steady. Aaron(the squish) and I have almost all of our bedroom over there now. We were moving our large bookcase until around 10:30/11 pm. All that is left is our desks, dresser, bed and the things spread out on the floor.
Our goal is to be in by the end of tomorrow, strongly dependent on whether we have internet at the new place or not.
In other news, there was a flock of turkey in my front yard yesterday. I took some pictures and a video, which I will share when I have the chance.
BLOOP ON HEAD PROJECT:
I have a new design set for BoH and am currently working on the first one. Expect to see pictures(and information about a give-away) in the near future!
Speaking of Boh, Have you went over to the FB club? If not, you totally should :D There is a question up and I'd love to get feedback from as many as I can!
"Bloop On Head Club and Gallery"
And finally, there is an absolutely BEAUTIFUL piece I must have from Mrs B's giveaway today. The colors are right up my alley, go check it out!

Back from Kurokiiro & Halloween Giveaway stuff
Hey all! Back from Kurokiiro and I have to say it was a huge success. The turnout was 540 paid attendees so they hit their goal number. Everyone seemed really happy and excited to be there. I didn't go to any panels or events but because of the size of things, I think I saw everyone that attended.
On Sunday Pikachu decided to come along, he was quite popular and got his picture taken a lot. I think he's going to get a big head. At the least, Pikachu will probably be attending conventions with us from here on out.
Speaking of conventions, my next convention will be at Nekocon down in Hampton Roads, Virginia the first weekend of November(AHH. Less than a month! So much to doo). If anyone happens to spot this that is in the area, be sure to stop by and say hello!
I've also decided to start the"Bloop on Head" project. I haven't decided how I'll be setting this up quite yet but I am hoping to have a gallery of people with pictures of Octobloops on their heads. My goal is to someday have pictures of bloops infront of iconic structures like Tokyo Tower and the Arc De Triomphe. If I ever manage to see a Bloop on the head of Tom Felton, well I think that would be the crown jewel of the collection(because seriously, a Malfoy with a bloop on their head? A-MA-ZING.) Expect to see more information about the gallery soon.
Speaking of galleries, I'll be uploading all my convention pictures soon. I generally stick to snapping photos of cosplayers and displays so there are only like...50 photos maybe? But there were a lot of lovely outfits!
One of my favorite parts of conventions is the array of costumes and clothing people wear. I don't generally cosplay myself(something I intend to change) due to the fact that I overheat(boo kittens), however, I absolutely LOVE the detailing a lot of people put into their attire.
In other news, the apartment fiasco is still being handled. We spoke with our complex manager last night and I am happy to report that we'll be rent free for this month. This is taking a huge weight off of our shoulders. My boyfriend and I are intending to(Gods willing) travel to Japan next year. The trip will be a combination of pleasure and business as I am hoping to get an upclose look at current fashions and trends in Japan. Since we are planning for this, we are trying to power-pay off all the loans so we can start putting large sums aside for our trip. As much as I hate this whole situation, it's allowing us to pay off our computers since we'll have extra this month. Hurray!
And on that note, I am off to paint a kitchen. I leave you with todays give-aways at Mrs. B's 31 Days of Halloween. Head over and enter for a chance to win some amazing prizes!

Mrs. B's 31 Days of Halloween Give-away!
During the next month you're going to be flooded with links to Mrs. B's give-away(see the button on the left side of the screen? Go there!) because it's super fantastic and the love must be spread.
Today she is offering up 4 different items. Click the links to gain more information on how you can enter :3
Sense and Sensibilities and Sea Monsters
Hallowbunny Wall Hanging
Witch's Flying Potion
Witchy Rattle
So get over there and have a look!
On a slightly less happy note, I am going to be spending the next few days moving into a new apartment. To make a long story incredibly short, another apartment in my building recently had it's ceiling cave in. Last night I noticed several cracks in my ceiling and when pushed on, that area moved visibly.
Thankfully there is another apartment available in another one of the buildings, I'm going to inspect it now and then we'll start vacuuming, painting and moving things in.
This is putting a big kabash on my KuroKiiro prep, but the prospect of my ceiling falling on me(Or, heaven forbid, the plush!) far outweighs a few extra bucks.
I'll be posting progress pictures. This has been home for almost three years now. This apartment is where I went after a not so happy time and became safe haven. I have a lot of happy memories here and, despite all my frustrations with it, I will miss it.
But we have to remain optimistic. I asked for a sign recently about what we should do(my boyfriend and I will be looking into our own place and will be out of this particular place in 5 months anyways) and this sign was as blatant as they get.
The God and Goddess work in peculiar(and sometimes pushy) ways.
That's all for now!
