Don't they get dusty, anon? I wanna display mine but I don't want to wash them all the time.

aw me too or if i post a pic of me and get called cute or people tell me they like what i did there, makes me feel all warm
I like gathering all my DIY bits and bobs and making new accessories for Lolita/Fairy Kei. I love making new things out of the old bits I hoard.

They're flowery and tacky and that's why I like them.
>Admiring the little details on my dresses, especially the lace
>Fluffing and adjusting my petticoat in front of the mirror
The silhouette is of my most favorite things in lolita and perfecting it in front of the mirror feels oddly comforting to me.

change them every couple days, or keep them behind a closed door (closet, cabinet)
Cleared up my work desk. Found some of the expensive beads I thought I'd lost. Means I might not have to order some more for a week or so. My purse is happy for that.

Aw mang
Flicking through my wardrobe and realising I have most of the dresses I wanted between 2008-2010 when I didn't have money for brand but diligently followed all new releases at the time.
I rubbed against my car door in a really fluffy dress, and ended up getting some sort of black marks on the white lace. I was freaked out, but I ended up being able to get it off with detergent and water.
I had a really weirdly nice time cleaning the lace in my sink. I also scrubbed any discoloration off my blouses and such.
I'm thinking about getting some damaged dresses just to try to fix them up lol
Putting on a petticoat after I have the rest of the coord on and seeing it instantly transform. I'm with >>8821571. The silhouette makes me happy every time.
>>8821503
Reading my GLB and looking at my wardrobe,touch the fabrics of the dresses,..
Sometimes i daydream hard. Like i just stare at a print and i daydream for an hour
Another winter with no heat but the ghetto kotatsu from last year still holds up. Space heater + blanket + craigslist ikea furniture = fucking cozy
Also having the ikea desk that attaches to the Kallax/expedit shelf so when I'm not sewing I can just slide my machine into a big cubby.

Although it takes me awhile to get around to it, I always feel better cleaning up the stuff I had out for a project, like the costume is officially done once all of the work evidence is put away. I also like to look at which contacts would work for certain characters even if I don't plan on making them. Sketching out plans for props is fun too.

My face feels smooth af. The massage was good - a little painful because I woke up with knots and I'm overdue for one. I think I needed a much longer one with the works because I somehow feel a little worse than before I went.
Anyone else get like that after a massage?

Assuming therapeutic massage, I feel better briefly and then the soreness kicks in for a few days and I suffer.
I have two closets and a room to myself because my roommate moved out last quarter. I organize them by lolita clothes in one and normie clothes in the other. It's really soothing

oh man your post just reminded me of last summer
I spent 2 weeks with my boyfriend at the time at his family's summer house, which is on a tiny island. we just spent it all lying in bed, playing vidya and browsing /cgl/. that was the time when I basically caught up with secrets of the past 3 or 4 years

I love the satisfaction you get cleaning things with a dramatic end result and the triumph over a threatening stain
>>8822010
I googled DIY kotatsu years ago and have always been tempted... especially as we also have no heating, insulation or double glazing. Even turning the electric water heater on breaks all our appliances/trips the lights so no hot water
But fucking it up does present a huge fire hazard. But I admire you for actually going ahead and doing it
>>8823683
Toilet drama is best drama

I spent the holidays with my boyfriend's parents too! I got to wear my fancy classic lolita, blending into their county mansion, playing their grand piano and with their expensive cats feeling like an actual fucking rococo princess
When I wasn't in a duvet with the bf playing 3 Ratchet and Clank games back-to-back of course, eating trash in our jammies like the slovenly trash we actually are

Interior design. Redoing my room, hanging up new stuff on the walls, swapping pictures, looking up design inspiration. It's why I love the room threads on here.

Wouldn't it be easier (and safer) to just use an electric blanket? I feel like you could get the same effect, but I've never used a kotatsu so what do I know
>>8822010
>>8827304
>>8828237
DIY kotatsu are super dangerous.
space heaters can catch fire sitting too close to a wall, let alone under a table/blanket. don't do it.
you can buy kotatsu heaters online for fairly cheap and affix them to any table, so just do that.
plus super cheap ones are only about $120 or so with shipping in the first place.
space heater method is not worth it at all.

I miss super pastelly blogs littered with cute pixel art and I really want to carry on one I started on a whim last year. I only fixed up a layout and such and posted an intro and one post.
However I feel like they're frowned upon so much now as tacky, tasteless and childish so I feel really discouraged.
>>8828266
If you like it, right it. There's definitely still a group of people who blog like that and enjoy blogs like that. I tend to use quite a bit of pixel art in my own blog, and I wish more people blogged in general.

Can I come stay at your house anon
>>8822210
I love rewatching weeb phase anime! I also read Tokyo Mew Mew and Mermaid Melody during the summer, it's one of the few things I loved about exam season and it never fails to calm me down. Bonus points if Touhou tracks are on in the background.
This is super weeby and embarrasing, but I when I was in school I had a cherry blossom body lotion that I would wear from when the cherry tree near my house blossomed to when the last blooms fell. I used to pluck them from the trees and have a bath with them too. I still have the empty body lotion jar in my bedroom.

Oh man. Those were the days. I still have some saved on my computer for when I need to zone out.
I loved watching dance videos, too. Dancing along to weeby shit is the best.

Lol Linkin Park and Naruto
I still love watching and making AMVs but I never use a bunch of effects or short cuts. I like really synchronised stuff that actually has some steady chronology, narrative or at least a pattern if you're switching between pairings or media.
I was super cosy this weekend

Man, nothing like farming for hours on end, trying to balance your planting, animal care and husbando and friend care via presents.
Too bad the new games seem like a chore to play nowadays.
