Curious Nono!

All hoodies that got the okay to be mailed have been mailed off today!
So expect packages shortly everyone!! n__n


Noooow, I need a tiny favor from my friend's list!! xD I am going to sound like a broken record, if you watch my private journal and deviantart, but this is super important to me and my fiancee~! ♥


My fiancee is in a competition over at Zuda.com this month. If he wins, he gets a contract with DC Comics to continue his series. So it's a pretty big deal for us!! It's a rad shonen comic about Sentai heros, it's very cool stuff~! He's currently in RANK 1, but that could all change. It's a really tight competition! ♥


SOOOOOOOOOOOO, Here's how you can help us out in under 1 min!!! ♥
I promise! ♥♥♥ ﾍ(ﾟ∀ﾟ )ﾉ

Please save my fiancee's ass! ♥
BIG BIG BIG thank you to anyone who take a min to help us out!! (≧▽≦ )

I am eternally grateful! m(u.u )m

I have a nice big update tonight! ♥

I apologize that the following 9 hoodie projects are a little out of order. I basically tried to be as efficient with my time as possible and did these in groups of colors/what I had on hand at the time. I really wanted to make sure I chopped out half of the backlog of hoodie work, which I did~! ^^ 9 hoodies in one week ain't bad! xD;;

So without further ado we have:
( Possum, Pikachu, Marill, Kilala, Usyagi, Snorlax, Mew, Skitty and Joey )





So that leave 8 back logged hoodies left, then I am back up to date! ♥ It's quite a relief getting those 9 above finished so these final 8 will be shortly behind! ^_^ Most of them are already dyed and two have already been started for detail work (Palkia and Muk~~) So expect them in a nice big chunk update soon!

Mmkay! I am off to bed. Good night!! ♥

Hello everyone!!~~


Hope you guys all had a nice little break for Thanksgiving. ♥ Mine was spent sick and allergic to things but I am starting to shake off my case of the yuckies finally~~!
:ﾞ;｀;:ﾞ;｀;･o(ﾛ≦〃)


Anyways here's some work I was able to finish between my commercial projects. I did take a short recess for my Thanksgiving adventure but I managed to get a couple things under the belt~!


( 3 Pokemon related projects~~! )

Anyways, my contract with one company ends in 2 days so that should free up some time!! :D In the mean time I will keep chipping away at my commission list!
Up next you will see a LARGE batch of hoodies! Stay tuned~~ ♥


ALSO!! I forgot to mention~~~I sadly don't have any room for any rush Christmas orders at this point.
I am very sorry~~~! o(_ _*)o
I am however still accepting commission if you don't mind waiting.
I will be accepting commission until January.
After Christmas, I will be closing all commissions for a little while so I can catch up on my back log of commissions, get my ends of trades out AS WELL as get my turn around time much shorter. ( ^-^)b So yaay!

Preview for snowball21 and kylie_fanatic~! ♥



K!!! BRB emergency road trip. I have an opportunity to meet one of my idols (for almost 10 years!!) this weekend. Be back LAAAAAAAAAAAAATE Sunday night!! ♥♥♥♥ Sorry for the sudden absence for the next two days!!

Big sigh of relief~!
An M.I.A. box of materials and teddy bear joints FINALLY got here today!! I have not been have luck with the post office recently. *_*;; This was a package that I ordered about a month ago that was processed the same day! X_X Shipping was supposed to take no more than a week.
Pllllus I have 2 packages that got lost on the way to one of the commercial jobs. T____T I goofed up the zip code on them by ONE number, so hopefully they will either make it to his place OR be returned to me any day now. Those went out about 2 weeks ago (and went priority T___T) I have accidentally done that before and it took longer to get to the person but made it there anyways. I just wonder how long they will be in limbo. @_@ I wish they would turn up on one of our ends. ;_; That's alot of work down the drain if it doesn't.

(( Now if only my return will process faster with my hoodie distributor... They sent me grey COLORED hoodies when I wanted white in the big batch I made. T_____T I have others to work on ahead of those so I don't need them immediately, I just want them here for piece of mind, ya know? ))

Been a while since I updated but I have quite a few projects to report in with! =3

For those of you who have project completed under the cut, if all looks good to go, please email my secretary at:

I *THINK* that is all!! *______* I feel like I missed something but I can't think of what else I have worked on since I last updated.



I have two more to post as well but they need to have a few things changed on both before I post them. ;3 I will save them for next update once I get to work on them again.

Annnnnnd I got address labels printed now~!
I am slowly starting to get re-organized. *_*;;

Now if only I could take the time to organize my fabrics and thread, hahaha.

Mmkay! Night night everyone!

Been a while since I updated~! Here's whats new/run down on the future etc. I have some big changes to announce as well as some projects to share! ♥♥

As you may or may not have noticed I fall behind on email, notes and comments often. Just when I think I catch up, the next morning I have a fresh new set awaiting my response. *_*;; It sometimes takes me a week just to reply to a simple questions of "do you accept commissions" this is due to the volume of inquirires, quotes, status updates, 'how did you makes' and general chit chat. More recently I feel as though I have been spending too much time repling to people. I am EXTREMELY flattered by my popularity but sometimes when I have a deadline crunch for commercial projects, I can't take the time to reply to everyone. So I have taken measure to help me out with this~!


I got a secretary~! ↑↑↑ ♥♥♥


All emails, notes, questions etc should be sent directly to her from now on. =) Anything she is unable to answer she will forward to me and I will happily reply. ♥ I just need help with the general bulk. (MOSTLY the quotes, and how did you do this and basic questions) ♥ I am seriously honored/happy that I am so loved and people are interested in my work. Seriously thankyou guys. ♥n//.//n♥


So on that note, for any future questions, emails etc. Please use the following email address.

usakochan.com [at] gmail.com

Anything not sent to her may be over looked or you may have to wait a bit to hear from me.
She will also be handling most of the mailings and webpage (which is in drastic need of an update) for me too. So yay, that should free up more time for sewing~~! ♥♥
She will also be creating and fixing my schedule for me. And new schedule will be posted... I would guess by Friday? I need to make sure the new scedule actually leaves room for commercial work though. =( I thought I would have enough time to squeeze a ton of projects inbetween but that never happened last time.



Secondly! I am thinking about ALSO getting an assistant. They would just handle basic chores such as stuffing, flipping inside out, cutting and the satin stitching on hoodies (I will do all placement, shapes etc) this would really help me drastically.


I have increased my workload recently with accepting a 3rd commercial job (they only need me now and again) but when they need me, I get pretty swamped which is what happened this past week. After I finished up some patterns packets for one of my jobs which I posted about, I was hit with an even larger project that I couldn't say no to. I just finished that up 1 day ago so I am able to take a breather and jump back to commissions while I wait to hear back if I have edits or not~



ALSO ~~Here's have a picture~! xD

These two still need their embroidery patches, but they main body work is done. I will pull out the embroidery unit for my machine when I get the chance and bravery to go up into spider city to grab it out of the hallway closet.



Mmkay~! That should be it for now~! Secretary-chan starts tomorrow so yay~! I need to give her the run down and explain a bunch of stuff to her but you guys be nice to her, okay? hahaha okay I seriously need Starbucks. @_@ I am off to grab a Pumpkin Spice Latte~~!

Just peeping in incase anyone is wondering where I am~~
I am working on a large commercial order at the moment. =)
I should be back to commissions in about 2 days~ ♥♥
Sorry for the slight delay~!

I will update and fix my posted schedule sometime tomorrow since it's off.

keysan's little blue beastie is finally done~! ♥v♥


The teaser pic~~~


( Amd lots more under here~~~ )

And now back to work for at least 2 more hours!! ;D

It's head is just pinned on so it looks a little wonky, but here's one more update for the night before I jump in bed.


The next update on it should be finished. *_* ♥♥♥

FACE STEALER.


I had a lot of backtracking to do today. =( The face didn't turn out so hot the first try but I figured out where I went wrong on the 2nd attempt! ;D I hate backtracking but always find that I am 20 times happier when I do. n.n

I was at NYAF this past weekend. =3 It was nice to meet some people and see everyone who stopped by to say hello~! I had a great time and I hope you guys all did too. ♥ Anyways here's some updates!


keysan's Vaporeon is starting to come together. ♥




( This is the plush I couldn't post last week. ;D )

Alright! Time for shower + bed time! *_*;; ♥♥♥ ↑↑↑

Bok-bok baa~~kaaa.

Mudkip~! Last one for blackmystique's batch. ^_^


I also forgot this little detial on the Squirlte hoodie I post in my last post:


I also finished up one people plush project but I believe it was a gift for someone so I will wait to post it until I know they have received their gift. ^^; (even if there is only a .00001 chance they would ever it~~~)


Oh! I and I meant to write about this sooner, but I wanted to let you all know about the dentist stuffs that I had/have to get done.
So I went back to the dentist on Tuesday to have the prep work done before the surgery. X___X Welllll~~ under closer examination, it turns out I don't have enough bone in my jaw to have the original procedure done so luck me needs a bone graft since they won't be able to save the tooth. They are going to take bone from my hip and stick it in my face~~~ q__q;

Uuugh it really sounds scary and gross and like a horror movie. I am really sensitive to that kinda stuff. U_U;; I have never had any kind of surgery in my life so I am a wreck thinking about it. From what I have been reading about though I go home the same day and just take it easy for a few days. I will have a better idea of what's going on/when once I go in for a consultation. I am scheduling it for sometime this week to discuss the details with Mr. Bone-harvester. ;__; Bleeeh.


MMKAY! I was going to go back and do more patterning on Billy outfit buuut I think I am going to go put a dent in my emails and notes that I let back up! ^_^;;

Have a good night everyone. ♥♥♥

I received an email from one of the guys at Bytejacker today with a very cool surprise!~ ♥ ↑↑↑↑↑↑

Only about a 1/2 of a day behind the tentative schedule which really isn't that bad considering I am also doing a metric buttload of commercial work too. *_*;;

I am actually getting a little burnt out between commissions and commercial work, so I have come to the decision that I may have to close commissions very soon. x_x;; I hate to have to do that but I have little to no time for myself or my comic which I promised myself I would be shopping around again by now.

It won't be a forever thing or anything though, so no worries! ♥ I just need to take a break, kill off a good chunk of projects in queue, and wait for the commercial work to slow down, then start taking them again.

I also hate that the turn around time for my commissioned work takes so long. I really want to get the wait time down but it's near impossible to chop with the volume of work I accept. So Yes, I think a break from taking any new commission work would be very good for me as well as you guys so you aren't waiting months for your turn to come up~ ♥


Am I still taking commissions right now? Yes and I will be for at least one to two more months. ♥ But after that I will be closing until I can get the list down a nice chunk. ♥((And anyone who has talked to me in PM about projects or future projects, I will still be more than willing to do them even if my commissions are closed. ^_^ ))

I will give a more exact date as to when taking any new commission work will be on hiatus for a little while, but as for now you are safe. xDDD ♥♥!
