Hey~
ok. So.... some shit happened over the FA down time that I can sorta finally talk about. But essentially, there was drama in the household, and my use of the livingroom as my fursuit work space was immediately revoked, so, the last week or so has been a bounce back and forth between minor fursuit work and moving all the crap that was out there *Fur, tool, and suits in progress* back into our bedroom. we've got about 10 square feet of floor space in there now with all the boxes/Totes of suiting stuff in there, and working is... cramped. The house here is still kind of super tense, so we're mostly hiding out in the room at all times while both trying to get back into a normal work cycle that works for both of us.
It doesn't look like we're going to be staying with my family much longer, so we'll keep people posted on a possibly very near future move. all the fun with that.
We think we finally got the room figured out right now, so, between all the suits I've still got to work on, I'm going to be sort of walking Narco through two full suits in the next month or so, and all that fun stuff.
also my birthday was yesterday, so I got fuckall done yesterday and now I feel waaay the fuck behind again. Why do families insist you don't do work on your birthday @_@;
in other news, uh....
um...
Fuck. I'll try and get some pictures of stuff taken later tonight on stuff that's gotten done,but a lot of stuff is still in the awkward inbetween stages on shit.
Also, airbrush might be getting here between the 20th and 22nd, if not, then the 24th. I'll finally be able to get some suits out into the mail again once it gets here and I can do final airbrushing :D
aaaaa i'm so sorry guys ; _; everything's just been really freaking nuts lately, and i know most of it's my fault. I... kinda honestly regret taking on more suits at the start than I originally planned, but I'm kinda shit at saying no, but now I wanna make sure I get all of them finished. I'm gonna start only taking 2 projects a month, since it seems to be the number I can work with best. I've had a couple of suits drop out of my que for various reasons, so the next couple months wont be as crammed for me, so... at the very least, I WILL get everyone's suits done by the end of the year. I want to be able to start 2013 with a clean slate, so, that's definitely my goal.
I've got materials for everyone that's already gotten me their first payments, and most of the suits have been started at least in part, so... aaah, idk. I got into a ramble.
EDIT:
also, I'm going to be changing my prices for 2013 tonight. As of right now, all my prices are OUTDATED. I've been taking a lot of what I've been doing on the new suits versus Sprinkles 1.0 and Narco 1.0/Piper and the amount of time/detail i've been putting into these, as well as using more expensive materials has actually left me taking money out of my own pocket on a lot of the Grand Opening suits, and way overshooting the estimated material cost for the other ones than I ever really thought it would.
I'll be making up a new price list for here and my website a bit later. If you haven't gotten a quote in to me by now, the prices will be based on my new prices. There ARE *i think* 2 or 3 quotes that I honestly haven't had time to look at/think about that I've gotten in the last month or two, and I'm so sorry I haven't replied yet, but those will still be quoted on the old prices. IF you have sent me a quote and not gotten a reply in the last 3 months, please shoot me a note or e-mail at LigerSprinkles[at]live.com and I will try to get back to you this week.
Man, I really need to get my shit together ^ ^;;;

I hope you had a good time despite all the goin's on. ^v^;
Also, scrap the deadline I gave you and just finish whenever. Take your time. :3
Do I get to see some pictures soon? :3
My friends are all quite impressed so far hehe.
(I'm thinking by Halloween is possible for sure yah?)
ETA for pictures to be up? *squees*
I'm still working on a ref for the Maker's Choice contest and crossing my fingers about it, but feel almost guilty trying to score something so cheap from you in the midst of all this crap you've been putting up with. :/
