So I entered my precious pretty kitty baby into a pet photo competition :D Please vote my Bebe if you can to help her win <3

https://www.kingpet.co.uk/pets/5114.....78183205-Bebe/

Even if she doesn't win, she deserves all the attentions cus she's bootiful and I adore her ^^

I also entered the little gremlin doggo lel

https://www.kingpet.co.uk/pets/5114.....21499532-Neko/

Worth a shot no? Would enter the gerbil too but she's not very photogenic x3

Thank yous~!

So it's been a while since I posted that journal about us going to be kicked out so I want to update you all on that ^^

First I want to thank everyone who bought something from me during that time. If you hadn't I'm sure it would've been a lot worse for us since I was the only one earning anything then and I was having to provide for two others as well as myself and the pets. You saved our butts so I am deeply thankful to all of you <3

So as of now, all of the peeps we owed money to have backed off a bit while we try to sort everything out. We have sort out payment arrangements with everyone and now my mum is signing on to help her get a new job. My sister is back from her holiday and has been helping us too. I will be still be doing art as my full time job and trying to improve until I can sort out my anxiety and other issues. I will continue to make stuff to sell to help pay off our depts since we still do owe over £3000 and hopefully we will be able to get that paid off.

We're getting there very slowly but of course we're still not in the clear because we do still owe a lot but it's a lot better then it was before. Now I don't have to stress so much ;u;

Again thank you all and thanks for reading <3

Yo yo you yo~!
I made a thingy please take a lookie :D

If I have ever done a commission or YCH for you, please consider taking the time to fill in this short form I made c: Can be from recently or from a long time ago or even from when I was on past accounts, it doesn't matter. It helps me know where I need to improve and how satisfied you were with your experience with me. I just want to make sure that my customers are as happy as I can make them ^^

Thank yous ♥

So I finally launched my Patreon after contemplating on it for over a year lol x3 There's not much there at the moment but I'll try to add more tiers and stuff over time. At the moment I'm just kinda using it as a tip jar thingy until I sort things out and decide what rewards to do.

Of course I'm not forcing anyone to become a patron for me especially not yet giving how I can't offer much at the moment. but if you could check it out and tell me what you think or if you have any ideas for me, that would be freakin' awesomsauce :D

https://www.patreon.com/karichibi

Thank yous~!

Just letting peeps know that I am closing coms very temporarily while I get some stuff I owe done ^^ I am getting a bit behind now because I have so many and as much as I need the money right now, I really really hate having to make people wait too long :'D I'll reopen them again when the majority of them are done <3

Also so so sorry to those who are waiting for stuff from me! I'll be working on things later today after I sort some things. I'll try to get a big chunk of them done. Sorry for making you wait x.x

Thank yous!

Hihi~

Still got a long way to go before we are paid off with our bills. We're still not in the clear but we're very slowly trying to sort them out. I'm going to continue to work my butt off to earn the money we need so expect to see a lot more things for sale from me soon x.x

On the topic of things for sale though I was thinking about maybe selling some stuff I have in real life to help raise some muns too. The only problem I have is being able to pay for packaging and shipping costs since I'd prefer to have everything tracked as well and I'm a broke potato :s

Plushies - https://sta.sh/229acgzkrt97?edit=1
Misc objects - https://sta.sh/21vvarzykq24?edit=1

Some of the prices still need to be fixed..
I have a tonne of old TY plushies and stuff that I was needing to get rid of anyway. I even added piccies of any damages so you know what you're getting and I'll be sure to double check just in case any of the others do as well xD I still need to go through the old prices I have down for them and work out new ones too but would anyone be interested in any of this stuff if I was to sell them?
I'll probably add some original drawings/paintings, stickers, figures and things too once I am able to take pictures ^^

The other thing I maybe wanted to do is get my Patreon set up finally. I've been very hesitant about launching it because I don't know if I'll be able to keep up with it. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions as to what I could offer for the tiers though? Something simple and easy to do with would be ideal for me :'D

Once again thank you so so much for all the help so far! I really really appreciate it and it warms my heart knowing so many people care and want to help this weirdo out :'D I'll have to do something to thank you all properly when all this is over with <33

Thank yous~!!

Pimping out my bud once again :3c

Hannah is my awsomesauce buddy irl who deserves some love~ She has a lot of YCHs up for auction, most of which have no bids yet. Her art is real good too so if you can, please go check them out <3

Update: At the moment we are sorting payment plans for them all. So far we have one sorted out for our water and poll tax. We still need to sort out our TV license and we're trying to keep up with our councils demands for the rent. They are not on our backs as much but this still doesn't mean we're in the clear. If we fail to pay them, we're still in danger of losing our home.

I want to thank everyone for helping by commissioning me or buying something. You are helping a lot more then you know and I really appreciate it from the bottom of my heart. Because of all you awesome peeps we still have our home at the moment so seriously, thank you all <3

--

Thank you all so much for all the help so far!! I'm getting so many commissions from you amazing peeps, I'll have to do something for you all to say thank you properly after all this is sorted out~ For now here is my to-do list so you can see where your commissions are at on my queue and any progress made on them. I try to keep it updated as regularly as I can.

To do list - https://trello.com/b/SxLipwgV

Of course let me know if I miss you!

This took a turn for the worst so quickly since I posted that other journal, I don't know what to do. I'm on the verge of breaking down and just ending it all, I'm so fed up with my shitty life and all this bullshit that I have dealt with my entire life and what I have to deal with now. So now I'm going to explain everything but we're desperately in need of help right now..

Today we got a letter saying that we are going to be evicted from our home, doesn't say when, doesn't say how, just says the amount that we owe, so I'm guessing they want us to pay it in one go or we're getting kicked out full stop. We have no money what so ever to pay it, all our money goes to our council. We have other bills to pay too that we haven't been able to because the council want every penny from us. If we lose our home we literally have no where to go and no one to turn to and neither do our pets. The last thing I want to do is lose my cat, she is my rock and the only thing making me happy and keeping me going at the moment.

So how much do we owe?
The amount we owe is about £3200 estimated. £1400 for our rent. £700 for our poll tax. £900 for our water and more on other bills. Not exact amounts so the total is a bit higher but you get the picture. We owe a lot. The poll tax is the bill that I mentioned in the previous journal and if we didn't pay we'd be taken to court. The rent is the one that's doing this to us now. I've mentioned multiple times in the past and have been taken to court for multiple times and the water is one that needs to be paid by January or again we're going to court. We've been trying to get loans but have had no luck.

We've been threatened and harassed for money for the past two years now. I've hesitated posting about it online because it's private stuff and I don't want to force that on anyone it doesn't concern. But now I really have no choice, so please forgive me.
I understand if anyone is hesitant to help, I am too when it comes to posts like this, you never know with people nowadays. But I added the scan of the letter we got below just in case though.

Letter:

The grey blocks are just there to hide personal info such as names, phone numbers, addresses etc. I'll try to find and scan the other letters as soon as I can x.x

If you can help in anyway, even if it's just sharing this journal, it would help so much! I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to keep up with all the work I'm going to have to do but I will desperately try my best. I have a list of things below that I am trying to sell. Please take a look at them if you have the chance.

I'm also now taking donations to my paypal, rexy532[at]hotmail.com I really really hate having to do so like I keep saying, but at this point I am desperate and have no choice. I hope you all understand and can forgive me, seriously.

Here is the stuff I am selling~

I also have a bunch of old plushies, figures, ect, that I can sell if need be. Depends if I can afford the postage x.x

Lastly I want to thank everyone who has helped me so far and thank anyone in advance that may do. It really really does help a lot and I am truly grateful and in your debt. Without you guys support now and up until this point, this probably would've happened a long time ago, just really crappy that it's had to come to this now.

Thank you all!! <3

Hey~
I've talked about this a few times in past journals so I'll keep this short for now.. Basically we are in debt by quite a bit and now we're all just getting fed up of being threatened and harassed constantly for money we don't have. We can barely afford to eat and have electric and we've had to give up so much just so we can pay the people we owe but it's just not enough. We're all so stressed out and we just want out of this house so we can get a better council to stop all this bullshite they're putting us through and that's why I'm asking for help now ;u;
We owe almost £4000 (I think it's about £3300 or something for the main bills and the rest on the others, not sure on the exact amounts for each though) all together but we need to get at least £700 by next month for one bill or we'll have to go to court. The rest can wait a bit longer at least.

Of course you don't have to, I don't want anyone to feel forced to help but I have a few things up to help pay it off. If you have some free time, please take a look and help if you can, even the smallest thing will help us a lot <3

So moving on from the previous journal... xD

I'm am currently working on some new adoptables which will be posted either tonight or tomorrow when I wake up and more will be coming after that too _{sorry in advance for the spam haha}. I am also working on a new commission sheet which I am gathering examples for and will be opening those up as soon as the things I owe are done of course ^^
These will be going towards our rent bill of course but also towards a new cooker since our one broke the other week. Getting a bit fed up of eating the same microwave meals over and over now lol :s
I'll make another journal when everything is posted so please check them out when they're up, if you get the spare time <3

Another thing that I am working on is a plush of my RuneScape character :D I've done a bit of plushie making in the past but not a lot. I'm super excited to work on this. I'll definitely be sure to post piccies of the final product. Just waiting on materials at the moment cus both the fabric I bought were the wrong colours oops :'D
Who knows though. If this turns out alright, I may end up taking them as commissions some time in the future. How fun ^^

If anyone knows a good site that does tan skin colour minky/cuddle soft material, please link me! I will love your face <33

Thank yous~!

Heyhey~
Just popping in to say that I will be opening my commissions pretty soon! Just working on a new price sheet at the moment. I never know what to price my stuff lol. Hopefully they will be decent enough :'D

Also you will probs see quite a few YCHs, adopts and such from me over the next few weeks so sorry in advance. The council are on our asses again and with our mum, who was the main earner, currently out of a job, we aren't getting much money in which also means our rent is going to fall behind even more ;u; I'll have to explain more in another journal but it's pretty bad for us at the mo. Literally just one thing after the other all the freaking time orz

Heyhey

Thankies <33

Heyoo~

Carly popping in to let my commissioners know that my tablet pen is currently missing :c

I moved our room around the other day so I could finally have my bed back after that whole fiasco with our ceiling but I put my tablet pen somewhere and forgot where like the forgetful lil noob that I am. So art will be on hold until I work out where it is again. So sorry for this! I will try to track it down as soon as I can so I can get back to work for yous but this is the reason why things are taking a bit longer. I hope you can forgive me <3

Sorry again!

Thank you in advance for looking <3

Hmm.. so remember when I said our ceiling was caving in? Well I yeah about that..
It's currently raining pretty hard here where I live and now our ceiling has starting leaking so I'm guessing our roof has somehow been damaged and the rain is getting into our loft and coming through the crack in our ceiling :I
My bed is soaked. I literally have no where to sleep now and no bed sheets cus all my stuff is wet T^T But since it's really early here right now our council isn't open so we can't really do anything until they open which sucks.

Here what's going on
http://orig09.deviantart.net/a92f/f.....bi-db9h9gt.mp4
(had to film on my 3ds. Sorry it's kinda dull and blurry)

So yeah.. just a little warning.. If I go quiet for a day or so, it's because I have to deal with this shiz right now =.= Sorry in advance to those waiting for stuff from me. I'll try to get to them as soon as this is all sorted out <3

Featuring my friend  HannahTailz again cus she did it to me so pptt *raspberry noises* :P

Anyways Hannah has some YCHs up. She's awesome and her art is awesome too so please check them out and maybe help her by bidding or faving or watching, you don't have to of course but I'm sure she would really appreciate it <3

http://www.furaffinity.net/view/23058204/ - Multiple slots available

Thank yous for looking <3

Update: The guys came round and gave our ceiling a bit of a poke lol. Basically they think one of the beams in our loft has rotted and is the cause for our ceiling starting to fall through because there are patches of asbestos forming. They're getting someone round to test the asbestos but after that I don't know what they plan to do. We might have to move completely out of our room so they can fix the beam and redo our ceiling. Fun stuff :I

Gonna be busy moving stuff around and out of our room for the next 1-2 days because our ceiling is literally starting to cave in and is becoming a danger hazard :S There's as large crack horizontally from our window that is pointing inwards towards the floor and a long crack has now formed vertically across from it at a third of our rooms length. Worried in case it's going to collapse and crush me since it's right above my bed. Scary stuff ;u;
My main concern is that section of our ceiling is going to come crashing down and possibly take out more of our house since it's close to the front part. I really don't want my stuff or pets getting affected by this either.

My mum is calling someone about it tomorrow so hopefully they can do something about it before anything bad happens pff. So probably won't be able to get a lot of art done for those two days until that gets sorted at least, I'll try to work on as much as I can before then :'D

Thank you for reading <3

Would anyone here be interested in pet portraits or even realistic drawing commissions of your characters?

I wanted to ask because my sis brought up the idea and after I posted the realistic drawing of my cat on facebook, my uncles girlfriend asked me to draw their two dogs for them. _{Also wanted to knock that depressing journal off my page lol}

I just thought it would be something interesting and different to do, especially since I love drawing and painting traditionally but don't get to do it a lot, would give me an excuse to do it more I guess x3

Who knows? maybe I'll open some sometime soon but expect to see more realistic stuff from me in the meantime <3

Yesterday I lost another furry friend. My little ginger gerbabe, Denne. I'm not too bummed out about it because I tried not to get too attached to my rodents this time round but it still sucks because it happened so close to my birthday as well :S

Denne was a sweet little chub chub. We got her and her sister about 2 years ago in July so she was getting pretty old for a Gerbil anyway. Her sister is missing her but we have decided not to get anymore rodents and just stick to the furry friends that live longer then just 2-3 years. I hope she is in a better place now at least. She will be missed <3

_{In case you was wondering she was named after Dedenne the rodent pokemon lol.}

EDIT:
FIXED!! She somehow disabled the internal mouse thingy and I had to go into the BIOS advanced settings to re-enable it. I have no idea how she managed that but I'm so relieved to be able to use the touch pad again lol xD
My decision to get a new laptop still stands though. As I mentioned before I've being having a lot of issues with this for the past year now. In it's defence it is really old and has been rebuilt a couple of times when it belonged to my ex but I think it's starting to die tbh. So I will be posting a lot of YCHs and adopts soon to help pay for my new one, sorry in advance :'D

There's always something :|
So earlier my cat was being a pain and decided to climb over my laptop, somehow disabling my laptop's touch pad in the process. Atm I am using a usb mouse which seems to work ok but I cannot move my mouse at all with the touch pad and it's rather frustrating. I am working on trying to find the cause and fixing it but so far nothing, all the settings and stuff seem fine as well. I am currently reinstalling the drivers for it and if that doesn't work there is one more thing for me to try but if that doesn't work then there's nothing else I can do to fix it myself :c

I am really starting to get fed up with this laptop though. I've been having so many problems with it lately that it's just getting a bit much for me to deal with any longer >.< I think I will most likely try to save for a new one now because I really don't think this old piece of crap will last much longer anyways :/

Ayy guys~ I'm feeling a whole lot better now. Flu is almost cleared up already. I still have a bit of the sniffles left but that should be gone pretty soon as well. A quick recovery muhaha :D

But hey that's not all..
It's very very windy here in the uk at the moment, especially where I live and it damaged our internet connection so we currently have no interwebs D: I think it might have knocked the satellite or something but it could also just be the weather. I'm currently on my mobile's internet through hotspot but I don't want to waste all the credit in case I need it for something later on so I'm gonna be on and off a lot until our broadband gets fixed.
I'll be working on completing coms and such in the meantime though ^w^ and the wind is dying down a bit so who knows, it may be back up soon hopefully~

Just thought I'd give a little heads up <3

Just want to let me commissioners know that I am currently ill so I might be a bit slow with completing things for a day or two just until I feel a bit better :'D

My stupid little sister came home from being away for a week and gave me her flu that she caught while away and right now I just feel so drained. It's weird because it came on so suddenly. Like I was completely fine yesterday morning just had a bit of a sore throat but then throughout the day I just gradually felt worse and now have a full on flu, like what the heck man >:c

So I'm going rest it out a bit cus I feel too exhausted to do much at the mo. I'm really sorry but I hope you understand. I have a pretty good imune system so it shouldn't last too long 'orz

Hey.. hey listen~
