Iscream?!? Mmm I love ice cream! Whenever I order ice cream I make sure to order it when it’s available and maybe wait in line behind the other ladies if I have to for a bit. You know what’s sad through? When the slow kid down the street comes out 10 minutes later and yells uncontrollably because the ice cream truck didn’t park by his house and deposit the ice cream directly into his face.

Don’t worry, you’ll get a chance for more ice cream next month.

Hey Everyone, just letting you know that I have finally caught up on all the Cosmic Heart pre-orders, all existing orders were dropped off at the post office an hour ago and I’ve just sent everyone shipping notifications!  I pulled a couple of all nighters, because I really wanted to get them all out the door so I can focus on getting ready for Anime North which I will be attending at the end of the month.

I have some Cosmic Heart pendants left order that are ready to ship, I’m guessing they won’t last long.  These pendants will be ready to ship until they have sold or May 15th (whichever one comes sooner), since I need to keep some aside for Anime North.

Now about other SM Pendants…

I finally found the right setting manufacturer for the big swarovski stones that appear on the first season, and crisis pendants.  I should receive them early next week, and if they are OK I will post a few orders for season 1 and crisis pendants.  But I won’t be able to accept a lot of pre-orders, because again I will be preparing for my convention.  PLEASE DO NOT ASK ME TO “RESERVE” ONE FOR YOU.  And I will announce here exactly when I post them.  

The eternal sailor moon pendants haven’t been up for pre-order because I ran out of pearls, and have been trying to find the right ones again.  I wanted to stick with the swarovski pearls because all the plastic pearl cabochons I have tried suck - the pearl coating always comes off. Anyways I should be receiving them in a week or so and I’ll be taking pre-orders at the end of the month.

Chibi moons - The crystals are on their way to me, and like all the others will be up at the end of the month.

And by the end of the month I mean around May 28th.  

About Anime North I will be in the Dealers Room at Table D8.  I will have lots of T-Shrts, I have three new t-shirt designs coming in that I’m really excited about!  But unfortunately I will NOT have any of my Red Panda plushies :(  I’m really upset about this.  Things with the plush manufacturer has kinda gone to hell… T_T

Here is the whole costume view. We really didn’t get very good photos at the con, so unfortunately this is the best one I have of it. I’ll wear it again someday and get better photos ^^. Excuse my derp face. XD Costume made by me. The boots were white granny boots taken to my local shoe shop and dyed to match my fabric color. ^^

OMG LOVE LOVE LOVE!! You look amazing! <3

Just got my new Big Pusheen plush from Hey Chickadee!

My boyfriend insisted we make this b/c we <3 Pusheen! 

So everyday I get a billion questions asking when I will relist the chibi moon and crisis pendants or offer the first season pendants for sale.  While I try to answer all the questions sent through etsy it’s really hard to keep up with the messages on all my accounts, since I’m just one person, and I’m spending most of my time making orders.  I hope most people see this post - but I also hope I don’t get a ton of angry people as a result of it :(  

Basically I am facing a supply shortage. The issue with the crisis and season 1 pendants is the settings I use to hold the bigger crystals in place.  I received a bunch of settings on monday, and to my dismay they are crap. They are not as nice as the ones I have been using T_T  It’s kind of crazy, because the supplier whom I bought the original (nice) settings from, is refusing to order more for me even though I offered to 1) pay up front and 2) BUY A SHITLOAD OF THEM SO IT’S WORTH THEIR TIME to order with them and deal with me! I don’t know if they’re lazy, stupid, or a combination of both.  I am seriously frustrated.  I am really picky about the supplies I use and I want to use the nicest ones, and unfortunately after getting samples from a number of places the nicest supplies are from the people who don’t want to deal with me!  Even though I’ve been a customer of theirs for YEARS. 

UGH. 

So for that reason I cannot put up pre-orders for season 1 and crisis pendants until I get something worked out with a decent non-asshole supplier.  I’m really sorry :( 

As for Chibimoon pendants… the Swarovski crystals I use for them have been on order for quite some time, since Swarovski ran out of them and had to make more. I am expecting to receive a new shipment of those in 2-3 weeks.  I will not put up pre-orders for those until I have my supplies in hand.  So please don’t ask, I don’t feel comfortable taking money when I don’t have the items in hand.

So the only pendants I am able to offer pre-orders for are the cosmic heart pendants, since I have (for the time being) enough supplies for those in stock.  BUT the wait time is still 3-4 weeks because I make everything myself (with help from my bf when he can).  I can’t stress enough that it actually takes me lots of time to make, package and ship these, and I’m still getting a lot of people who don’t understand and are not happy with pre-orders or waiting and ask me why I list the item if I can’t ship it immediately.

The answer is simple.  Every time I make the mistake of taking the listing down, my inbox is full of people asking for me to put it back up and that they are content with the wait.  It just sucks that for every 10 people that are nice and awesome, there’s 1 really grumpy person that angers me to the point of taking listings down from my shop.  

That’s all for now folks.  I guess I’ll update when I have some better news.  For now I vanish back to my cave to glue crystals… 

ok here he is with the sad red panda charm! sad red panda is still sad because this whole process was painful and made mandi sad… (Taken with instagram)

After several stressful months we received our plush prototype. His name is Kitsuko, based on my red panda character :) Hmm maybe he needs to be wearing one of my red panda necklaces. (Taken with instagram)

Awww thanks!

I am waiting for my materials which have shipped, but I’m hesitant to put up pre-orders for the crisis pendant again.  A lot of people don’t understand what a pre-order is and get really mad when their item doesn’t ship the next day :\ So for now I want to keep the number of pre-orders to a minimum, even if it means answering this question a billion times =p 

I get a lot of questions asking if I am coming to certain conventions.

For those of you who don’t know, I am located in Canada.  This makes it more difficult to attend US conventions, especially since we don’t have our own car!  Plus it’s a hassle to get across the boarder with merchandise to sell :\  Sorry guys!
