Furdu Nearly upon us!! + Updates!
Posted 12 years agoReally happy to be getting on top of Furdu stuff, I hate doing them last minute and then staying up too late the night before an epic long drive. SO I've been trying to get everything done THIS week, so that there is less stress for the week ahead! <3 yey!
Got some epic costumes done, a mix of bought things from stores/online/op shops and hand made =D Very happy with my hand made items too!! Never really made an entire garment before!! Even made it with no patterns or references, just went with what my head thought was a good idea ^__^
Been preparing all my selling goods also so that they are ready to be unpacked for the table straight away! ^o^ I decided I can't bring any tails to sell though... we have 4 people in the car.. too much luggage PLUS camping gear to fit in... >.< But if anyone did want them, they are on my website anyways =D
The car we are taking, Wookie, has been under maintenance ready for the trip! Gearbox has been completely taken apart and put back together again.. just for the machining of one shaft. Now thats done, the Crazy-fu has taken out current gearbox ready for "new" one to go in this week! <3 Then we can finally have 5th gear to use!! X"D
Also been sourcing camping grounds to sleep at on the way up.. Looks like we'll be stopping around Port Macquarie area! Not too far from the HWY for some sleep, then head off early in the morning to get to FURDU!
No one got my kiriban.. o well... not like it matters! X"D haha! Too busy for that stuff.. even i missed it! lol
Hopefully after all the Furdu shenanigans, I'll be on top of commissions and can finally start drawing again too!!
Hmmm... can't think of much else to say... BUT YEH FURDU!! WOOO!!! 09 Days, 11 Hours, 27 Minutes to go!!

Busy, Busy, Busy!
Posted 12 years agoOk yeh, haven't even opened FA in just over 2 weeks now!! It's not like I miss it or anything, I do like to have a real life.. the internet shall not rule me! X"D hehehe..jk.. it RULES MY LIFE O__o *stares*
ANYwho.. been very busy with commission work lately and it was a hard one! I'm happy to say it's finally done and I'll have something new posted on my fursuit account
whitechocolateandraspberry shortly!! =)
But it does not end. I got more to do!! The next is a partial, so I can at least get some of my own projects underway with that one at the same time. I have lots of plans for FurDu!! The "world of tomorrow" steampunk/dieselpunky kinda theme is right up my alley and I have a bunch of fabric and bits and clothes to work with to make complete costumes! I can't wait to wear them!! But photos with remain hidden until Furdu! (kinda like a reveal of a new fursuit.. but clothes instead XD) There's also a fursuit thing that'll be new aswell...something I hope people will like!! (and fitted to the con!)
Another thing.. Our baby chickens are now 7 weeks old!! Growing up so fast X'3 They are 1/2 size of full grown chickens!! <3 and super cute!!
I also got another year older *SHOCK HORROR!!* My mum came to visit! And She gave me $100 to spend on clothes.. and I spent $50 on 2 pairs of jeans and 2 pairs of shorts! All of which was between 50-75% off original prices.. lucky I guess all the specials were my size! X"D
Crazy got me a massage and pedicure surprise... I had to go to a beauty salon and THEN they told me what I was getting! X"D It was my first ever visit and it was amazing!! ^o^ Awesome birthday! But only a few non fur's remembered! (besides crazy of course!) lol.. as i say, my bad because I'd rather not have people know .. i get all embarrassed cause I am old now. O_o
Anyways, keep an eye of my fursuit account if you wanna see the newest addition! and follow me on twitter for lots of photo updates of projects and chickens!! X"3 : vixen_costumes
Thats it for now!!

Commissions, Chickens and Competitions!
Posted 12 years agoUgghh.. feels like forever since I logged in here X___x I've been a good girl and focusing much time towards working on commissions and raising my babies!
X"D
On that... our chickies are 3 weeks old!! getting lots of feathers now, a little scruffy with their baby floof still on their heads and patches on belly's and backs X'3 **ohh the cutee!!**
I made them a little run area outside that they can flap and run and be free as they please! But also protecting them from the big chickens... they had a go at them yesterday >.> I think the babies are still too small to learn pecking order yet.
Also planning an extension to the big chicken run so when the babies are big enough, there is more space to share ^___^
We suspect only 2/7 of them to be roosters too! (good haul!!) I really hope we can give them away rather than..you know,,X___x
Commissions didn't even get to officially open and I'm full already!! I accepted inquiries and gave quotes... and yep.. got 3 new commissions to do after the current one!! =D When I start on the 3rd, I'll re-open again.
But yes! You can ask for a quote if you like anyways! Next commission (5) will be started on around May/June if anyone is curious on start times.
Current list:
Com 1 Jan-Feb
Com 2 Feb - Mar
Com 3 April
Com 4 May
Also.. it's Valentines Day!! Happy Valentines Day to my wonderful Crazy <3 Love you!!! ^___^
Another thing.. My last journals were about competitions! One is for the Kiriban of my 18000 pagevies.. (will take ages.. so i'll remind you when its closer!)
The other was for name ideas for a tumblr.... All great idea's so far!! Not 100% sure what I want yet.. so competitions are still open!!

Competition! x2!
Posted 13 years agoSo in my previous journal I stated something along the lines of making a tumblr to post more detailed blog stuff on fursuit progress and how I do things, plus random stuff like places I visit, my chickens, movies and music and even the interactive question thing.. ask away and I'll chose one to reply to in detail/how to ect!
The competition is pretty much for some one to come up with a name for my tumblr! I DO NOT want it 'vixen' or 'fursuit' specific or related, simply because it's about everything. I want something quirky and weird but funny and interesting! I may or may not chose a suggestion... I could come up with it all on my own. But to help people put forward potential choices or even part of an idea.. the prize is there just incase!
Prize will be a mini gift art of their character (like a badge shot) ..simple!
Another competition that will more likely have a winner from somewhere, is my 18000 kiriban! (lol.. yes I know its not much and nothing special really) And Its a long way away yet.. but hey.. maybe you can spread the word!!? First to post a screen shot after the number has ticked over wins an ART! Something along the lines of >> http://www.furaffinity.net/view/9504781/ BUT no background and flat colours only.
My chickies are a week old today! <3 Just about to post up their new group shot, so keep an eye out!! ^___^
Thats it for now!!~

Mini potential competition?
Posted 13 years agoNothing certain yet or anything... but the idea is:
I was thinking of getting a tumblr to blog more detailed progress of things I make (like fursuits) with pictures and so people can ask questions and such. I do write and post pics on twitter, but its VERY limited as you know! X"3
Also to show fun things like my silly chickens, places I visit, favorite music and videos.. Things I'd like to share with everyone that could like what I like too X"D (or even introduce you to things you COULD like.. but don't know it yet X'3)
The comp idea is...(with a '?' and only potential idea because I'm unsure how interested people would be in reading it) to come up with a name! I don't want it furry specific/vixen orientated. I'm interested in something weird/wacky/ odd ect. For example.. good weird/odd names I like come from Ray William Johnson.. his instagram is "flying garden gnome" and blog is "runaway planet" LOVE these! lol
So if I decide to go ahead with it, first let me know if you's want to read it!! (need an idea on peoples interest in such things!!)
second... What name do you recommend?
IF it happens and only if I choose a name suggested (or combo of suggestions) then the person/s who do will get a free mini gift art!! (like a badge!)
But yeh ...just a thought for now!

Posted 13 years ago^o^ All our baby chickens have now hatched!! ^o^ Woo!! The first one was a day early and is called "Beta Tape" X'3 The others hatched today from 12.10am - 3pm. Once they are all dried out and fluffy, I'll posted a picture of our babies! =)

Hatchlings and Art plans!
Posted 13 years agoYep! Today my baby's (chicken eggs) are pipping! (small crack and hole in eggs) which means they'll be ready to hatch and enter the world VERY soon!!! ^o^ 4 out of 7 are like this (a day early!) Can't wait until they are out!! ^__^ I will take photo's and post them once they are fluffed!
Art plans have been a bit delayed so far this year... Lots of house work and RL work plus some unexpected fursuit work aswell. I still have one more full suit to do before I take on any orders!!
Then I'd like to dedicate a few days a week to draw aswell as sew. Try and build up my skilzz again X'3 Another thing I've been meaning to get into is some video work.. I have lots of footage to work with.. but not much time to actually do anything with it. So.. Might leave that till a little later in the year when I figure out how much work I have on!
Thats it right now.. really just wanted to say my chicks are hatching~~~!! *SQUUEE!!*

Epic Bushfires and randomness
Posted 13 years agoSo I don't know if anywhere other than Australia gets news about.. well.. Australia! But yes, we are pretty much on fire atm. literally! This >> http://www.rfs.nsw.gov.au/dsp_conte.....cfm?cat_id=683 has a google map of all fire situation at present in NSW (it updates regularly, so may be more/less depending on when you look at it)
Anyways, a few days ago we had a nation wide high temp average record. Most of the country was at least 40C~! Pretty damn hot! Thats when most fires decided to rage on every one and cause mass destruction of land. The temp here in the shade of our back verandah reached 47C X__x my poor chickens were almost roasting!
The bushfire only 15mins away from here is still marked as "Out of control" and has burned up nearly 9000 ha of land so far. Theres another REALLY epic one that is under control atm in South Australia that burned over 176939 ha of land!! frikken HUGE.. (you can see the black marked areas on the map I linked if you zoom in)
Anyways, today is expected to be rather epic hot again and reach "catastrophic" fire danger levels.. but not *quite* as bad as the other day... so hoping fires don't rage out of control even more... it's totally opposite to last year... most of the state was flooding this time of year!! X"S
Other news... been sewing heaps to send away "Kaleido" to his new owner! I am making a new suit, hands and feet to fit them =) After that I can start catching up of the other commissions I have on before I begin to take actual orders for more fursuits!
Last week crazy and I drilled holes in the ceiling to wire up speakers around the lounge room ^__^ havent had the speakers set up properly for ages! We also finally hooked up the wii and xbox360 to the projector.. havent had them on in over a year! X"D I am hoping to get to actually play some games again this year, I have so many I've yet to even start!! But last year was epic busy, I never found time for any games ;__;
Got some eggs incubating atm! 12 chickens and 8 quail! I have suspision the quail eggs aren't fertilized though.. but I guess I'll find out! I candled the chicken ones and they defiantly are under way! I can't wait to find out what they are! (mix and match chooks from crazy's mum's place) X"D
That's it for now!!

New year and updates!
Posted 13 years agoHappy delayed New year everyone!!
Crazy and I spent New years camping at Yadboro state forest in the mountains south west from here. Was good fun! On NYE we climbed Pigeon House Mountain (the sign recommended 3 hours to reach the top) its is SUPER steep, but half way there is a little bit of flat ground where we found someone on their way down who said it only took them 45mins! So we decided to take no more than 1hr to reach the top! The dirt trail has lots of wooden steps built in to help climb up it and the final point of the mountain (the "pigeon house") on top is all rock, and has ladders built into it to be able to get to the top! SOOOO worn out by the time we got there, it was EPIC. BUT we managed to get to the trig and look at he time being exactly 1 hr from when we left to the top! Woo!
We stayed up there taking lots of photos, it also had 360degree views and we could even get phone reception up there! X"D Our 2 way radio even reached the campsite and we could talk to people there! in a direct straight line to the campsite, google maps said we were 5km away (just in range of our radios!) awesome ^__^
While we were up there we decided to hunt for the geocache up there. The description and hint was NO help and bad gps readings didnt help either. But even though it took probly 1.5hrs, and lots of exporing and find caves and epic view points. we found it!! The sun had already set and light was limited, so we went as fast as we could down the mountain! Eventually we had to put on the torch on my phone on to go the last half of the trek down. But it was fun! good trip and epic work out! Would probly do it again with more light I think!
When we got back we had dinner and washed up in the river. and sat around the campfire. Crazy and his friend made sparkler 'bombs' out of a beer bottle and crushed sparklers.. all they did was fizzle and pop the lid off X"D arrwell!
Later on waiting for new year, we heard other campsite yelling out.. so we figured it must have been 12! lol.. Happy New year!
In other news... We have 12 chicken eggs and 6 quail eggs incubating! I put them in on the 1st and will be due in a couple of weeks!
Have SOLD Kaleido!! And in process of making new body/hands and feet for the new owner ^___^
After that will be finishing of a final commission suit before taking on any new orders. I have some interest out there which is good! So I'll post when I am open again =)
Haven't done any art in a while... busy time is busy! Worked lots of nights lately!! Should get more into it again when the tourists go home I think! =D
Thats it for now!

The dirt trail has lots of wooden steps built in to help climb up it and the final point of the mountain (the "pigeon house") on top is all rock, and has ladders built into it to be able to get to the top! SOOOO worn out by the time we got there, it was EPIC. BUT we managed to get to the trig and look at he time being exactly 1 hr from when we left to the top! Woo!
We stayed up there taking lots of photos, it also had 360degree views and we could even get phone reception up there! X"D Our 2 way radio even reached the campsite and we could talk to people there! in a direct straight line to the campsite, google maps said we were 5km away (just in range of our radios!) awesome ^__^
While we were up there we decided to hunt for the geocache up there. The description and hint was NO help and bad gps readings didnt help either. But even though it took probly 1.5hrs, and lots of exporing and find caves and epic view points. we found it!! The sun had already set and light was limited, so we went as fast as we could down the mountain! Eventually we had to put on the torch on my phone on to go the last half of the trek down. But it was fun! good trip and epic work out! Would probly do it again with more light I think!
When we got back we had dinner and washed up in the river. and sat around the campfire. Crazy and his friend made sparkler 'bombs' out of a beer bottle and crushed sparklers.. all they did was fizzle and pop the lid off X"D arrwell!
Later on waiting for new year, we heard other campsite yelling out.. so we figured it must have been 12! lol.. Happy New year!
In other news... We have 12 chicken eggs and 6 quail eggs incubating! I put them in on the 1st and will be due in a couple of weeks!
Have SOLD Kaleido!! And in process of making new body/hands and feet for the new owner ^___^
After that will be finishing of a final commission suit before taking on any new orders. I have some interest out there which is good! So I'll post when I am open again =)
Haven't done any art in a while... busy time is busy! Worked lots of nights lately!! Should get more into it again when the tourists go home I think! =D
Thats it for now!

Post MiDFur write up!!
Posted 13 years ago*note time.. 10.21am* I have a feeling this will take me a while to write!... got distracted.. it is now 10.43am! lol
ANywho! MiDFUR!!! To Pete the chairman and all you other wonderful board members and such who helped to make this event.. THANKYOU! you all did a wonderful job! And from my perspective.. nothing went wrong!
The Trip:
Friday 30th November Crazy and I drove to Wagga. Went to a mates Birthday at a Pub, even though we were rather late, was still great!! =) Stayed at my Muma's the night and got to finally meet her new puppy Sophie!! She's an adorable Beagle X Labrador! <3
We stayed in Junee the next few nights spending time with Crazys Mum, his Niece and nephew and his sister and Brother in Law. Crazy did the deed to make the turkey ready for christmas.. or silencing it X"D and his mum and nephew did the plucking! We helped erect a huge pool a his sisters place, took forever but was worth it!! At some point we also went to the movies with his sister and watched the last Twilight movie ^^ was actually rather good I thought!!
Drove to Melbourne on the Tuesday (4th) from stinking hot 35 degree weather it got cold (as per Melbourne normally is) to what felt like 15! XD We arrived at our destination, paid for accom, unpacked bags and such and put car away. Then decided to go get badges for the next days event! Found lots of awesome people we know, registered and got invited to see the opening ceremony! Pete also introduced me to Amadhia and Quinn.. two of the most amazing people I have ever met!! <3
WEDNESDAY
Got up fairly early (7.30) and even doing that I ended up late to set up for the dealers den which opened at 10!! Crazy went to the Active fur's session while I hung with DustanDaFox to get a float and other things! X'3 All day I was rushing to and from the backpackers I was staying at after I kept forgetting to bring things!! So most of the day I probably wasn't really seen at the dealers table! I did try and see a few panels while I was up and about! And didn't really get to see what was on other peoples tables until the very end! busy busy!!
I did get to catch about 1/2 the fursuiter panel ^_^ and it was good to watch!! =) Later on I went with a bunch of awesome peeps out for din din's before rushing back to the con to make it for Anthrax performance! Also got to be seated up front yey! =D <3 Was hilarious as always, look forward to the DVD!
Then we hung about a bit and made it to the screening of Bitter Lake!! We missed the beginning, so will have to watch again!! I loved it! X"D made it to bed fairly early that night too X"D
THURSDAY
Had Brekky with Anthrax, Robbie, Changes and my Crazy at awesome chocolate place with cheap breakfast meals! Crazy went to study for the rest of Thursday and Friday and did not come to con..>.> Went and saw most of the fursuit performing panel but rest of the time I was mostly at my Table ^__^ Also stayed for the super sponsor cocktail party! delicious noms and cupcakes! shortly after that was the fursuit walk AT NIGHT!! YEY! Was load of fun! SO many suiters lots of happy people and OMG dingoes came for the walk!! I got to sit with one of them while they sniffed my paw and I gave it a treat ^_^ it wasnt until Nikki (the awesome pony table person!) showed me a photo that I realised it was the dingo they dyed pink!! <3
After the walk it was much to warm to stay in suit so I de-furred and then watched the dance party with Dustan for a while.. admiring Amadhia's suit 'Dream Song' dancing away and being in Awe while I watched Blake tiger do some epic Poi moves!! Then went off back to the hostel to sleep... before 12!! wow! X'3
FRIDAY
I actually made it EARLY to the dealers den to set up today!! I had to because I had a photo-shoot on first thing!! ^o^ Got to have a photo with Kat-Aclysm and someone special!! ;) all will be revealed soon!! <3 Spent a while down at the dealers den, then caught some of the fursuit panel ^o^ (thanks for the plug guys!! <3) And then checked out the wacom demo room! I REALLY wanted to try the intuos 5 as I was getting one the next day.. but the computer it was hooked up to wouldn't run properly,,, so no test... BUT it looked nice and the pen felt awesome!! Can't wait to try mine out!! The cintiq's look pretty crazy being so HUGE you'd have to have a studio to use them! X'3 As cool as they seem, the screen was a bit too fuzzy for my taste. I like crisp clear images to work with and I don't think I'd want to own one... and I also could never afford such madness!! over $4500!! for the big one! *dies!*
And before it was too late I managed to catch some of Tiny's awesome gaming panel!! WOW FULL HOUSE DUDE! it was so funny X"D woo!
Then went and spent the rest of my time dealing away with awesome carnival until the close time! We rushed out at the end to go have dinner at awesome restaurant with more awesome people! then made the mad rush back! watched some of the no talent show and Kraden *just* made it time for his performance of awesome.. the PUN thank you letter including the names of all the board members! LOL!! took my mass pile of dealer stuff back to hostel and got my 'fashion' gear for the fashion parade!
Quickly put together some maddness made from $1 clothes from the op shop! Also added a touch of blood and scars to be a zombie X'3 lol.
Got to mingle and talk with a bunch of awesome people within the fashion parade 'back area' which was fun!! You guys were all awesome! There was a much larger audience turnout than we all expected and we of course all got nervous too! X"D The song I had got chosen for me... and... I really didnt know it X"D so my intended 'slow dead zombie cat walk' was pushed by the crowd to move faster and dance a bit X"D it was fun, but I didnt see much as my hat fell over my eyes too far.. so I stared at the ground the whole time! lol! I also didnt hear anything the judges said.. I was so nervous I just kept doing my thing and blocked out everything else =P
After that was all over I ended up in WiiiiU con and played games X"D
SATURDAY
Got to sleep in a bit longer today and was happy to hear Crazy was keen to come back to the con! <3 We went and had nom brekky at the chocolate place again and then went to Scorptec to pick up our order!! Crazy got me the Intuos 5 touch and a SSD as my early xmas pressies!! <3 <3 dropped off our gear before going to the con to go to the Furry Wedding of our dear friends BC and Spence! <3 it was a huge turnout and was a beautiful reception! I loved how it was set up, the speeches were wonderful and Pete did a fantastic job presenting! ^__^ There was also SOOOO many tears!! I've been to a few weddings and I had never seen so many people tear up! Daawwwrrr!!! <3 *cuddles and hugs!!*
After that we went to the 'bridal parties meet' at the pub for lunch which was also so much fun! We were lucky to have made it in time afterwards for the amazing charity auction for the dingo discovery center! It really went off!! So much auctioned and so much money raised!! I donated a decal set which went for $70!! (I honestly thought it'd just go for $10) So I was impressed it was able to make so much for the charity! yey!! the epic and last auctioned item was Blotches original artwork for the badges this year... it went for a staggering large amount of... something like over $1500!(?) X"D plus a load of pooled money put in extra totaled the final fundraising to over $13400!! Aussie Furs rock at fundraising!!! <3
Quickly had dinner not too far away and then was the closing ceremony! It was great!! lots of funny and lots of awesome ^__^ News came to be that the "last furry con in aus ever/midfur ever" was true!! Midfur as a con will be no more.. Midfur as meet (I think and I hope) will still be! But as a con.. it will be "NewCon" the yet unnamed furry con thats dates have been pushed to January instead! Midfur outgrew all possible hotels and has had to be moved to the exhibition center instead. And being that December is harder to book for, it has moved to January.... Midfur is "Melbourne in December"Fur meet.. and thus needs a new name to represent what it will be!
The "End of the World Dance Party" was fantastic!! To start it off was an amazing performance by "Laserman"!! And then epic music and mass of people dancing with Mosky as the DJ!! AWESOMELY fantastic music!! YEY!! (I lost it when I heard circus afro in there!!! EEE~!~! <3) I spend a LONG time dancing in 'Vixen' fursuit too!! it was super extremo HOT!! but after getting all cooled down for a break and just as I was dressed again to go out.. the con was evacuated! The fire alarms got set off (not audible) and we had to go out side X"D the fire alarms were never turned off like they should have been for the smoke machines! lol ^o^ Crazy dared me to hug a fireman.... I said I'd offer and if he wanted one, I'll do it X'D awesomely.. he did!! and we got a photo ^o^ Although his reflective suit made the photo SUPER bright! LOL! but it was worth it, so much awesome! =)
When we went back in, I got out of vixen and into Jasper! And flail danced about for a while ^__^ It was also still very hot... (dont think there was aircon? just big fans and little potable ones) so ended up just being human with jaspers cloths and tail and danced for the rest of the night. I saw an AWESOME gryphon suit I LOVED!! (BIRDS ROCK!! <3) and the guy who owned it was the last DJ for the night!! YEY!! also so much awesome!! We stayed for the WHOLE thing!!! Chatted a long time in the headless lounge with Quinn and Amadhia, had drinks and had fun! then we all went out for the last 1/2 hr and went all out!! =D
Was kinda sad at the end when it was over that all the poles "graffiti" just got torn down and thrown away. But good to have last chance good byes with those who were there aswell. Had a little talk with Pete, got given Rubah's "Midfur security" patch as there will be no more "midfur" that needs security! Had photos, more goodbyes and hugs and then it was off to get some sleep for the 11.5hr drive home the next day!
All up it was a fun con!! and I look forward to the 2014 January fur con of unknown name/ "Egyptian Nights!"

Weasyl and Art Plans!
Posted 13 years agoWas not going to get weasyl.. as I think it'll just be one of those sites I go on for a bit, then probly not look at for a long time. But so far, all good! X'3
Can find me as > https://www.weasyl.com/profile/vixen
Big awesome hugs and thanks to
MistyStriker for the invite!! And like it was when I joined FA.. surprisingly no one had claimed 'vixen' X'3
I have been watching a few streams of artists lately and it really does inspire me to pick up a pen and really get back into drawing much more often! Digital drawing I've done alot less than traditional, so should really kick in practice more often! Whenever I do, I'll be streaming. Even if no one watches, I pretend you are and either way I am sort of motivated to do the best I can anyways! I find that if I dont stream, I just give up and leave it. X'3
Progress of other the fursuit head for sale at midfur is going well.. so might have it ready in time! X'D Everything else is pretty much done and sorted.. just gotta make sure I have counted and made a list of it all! ^o^
And another update from way back.. by about christmas time, I will have paid back my debt for the accident I had in like.. april? *stupid car GRR*.. (we ended up selling that car too X"D it was not going to be missed!) But I'll finally be able to save some much needed money/afford things without stress and all that good stuff! Even better now I have a job again! ^o^ well.. casual job a few nights a week. But chrissy time here is SUPER packed, So i'll likely have alot of shifts! yeys!
About to take the 4WD out for camping for the night! ^__^ looking forward to it! woo!!
*Random fact!! >> Exposure to CUTE images, helps improve concentration! ^o^ Read about it here!! ^_^

What time do you get up/go to bed?
Usually up at 7am... but might be later depending on what time I get to sleep con nights and how much I've been suiting!!
What's the best way to get a hold of you?
Stopping by our table, 'White Chocolate Coated Bacon Raspberry Sundae' (Or Team Bacon Power on the map, if it doesn't end up getting updated) ~same answer as carni! 'tis the easiest way!!

MiDFur and Other stuff!
Posted 13 years agoMidfur is less than a month away and I have been busy both finishing off commissions AND bulk making things to sell!
Here is a rough Idea of what I will have incase anyone was interested!! (or maybe wants to save up for! )=D
- Approx 10+ tails of different shapes, sizes and colours! incl; a few leftover rainbow kitty ears and tails (going cheap!)
- some random MLP stuff I don't want/ never used.
- Spandex/ zentai suit for use under fursuits (never worn, fits S-XXL)
- 1 full fursuit, never used! will fit small person (will upload photos soonish)
- Possibly 1 fursuit head, also never used!
- Variety of sculpy figures/critters!
- Variety of MLP/paw/critter decal stickers!
Lots of other nicknacks aswell =)
ALSO will be doing on the spot commission artz!
Which SEGWAYS into my next topic!
ART! I really have not done alot of art at all the last few years (IMO) I used to draw SOOO much and then sort of stopped when I started full time work and fulltime suit work aswell. But I am pretty keen to get back into it all again, and will most likely soon so I am up to scratch for midfur arting!
I hope to also try get into sculpture aswell, something i've done very little of, but interested in going further with aswell.
And I might also clean up my gallery a bit to try keep the rough sketches out and keep only finished work =)
So someone must poke me if I havent upload art pics within the next week!! encourage me to ART! X'D
*Make sure to checkout my other page > whitechocolateandraspberry for all current fursuit stuff I've been doing!!*
And check out my Twitter if you want to see progress suitwork and other arty stuff I dont post anywhere else!! aswell as random ramblings X"3 @vixen_costumes

Long awaited updateages!
Posted 13 years agoHaven't really had time to properly update my journal in AGES... at least.. seems like forever!! X'3
Anyways.. first things first! I got me a new job!! casual work for now, with lots of work over chrissy to save up some much needed cash!! ^__^ Fursuit making has been good.. but with delayed payments and never knowing weather I'll get another commish or not is just something hard to deal with.. especially when I have a debt for the stupid accident I had months ago >.> (still paying it off.. yes...my bank has nearly emptied with the payments coming out each week and getting no income X__X) So yeh, awesome casual work only 10min walk from home!! (where I live, that is a SCORE!) been trying to find local jobs for nearly 3 years here!!! Previously it's been approx 40min drive to work places!
Next up!! Melbourne trip earlier in the month! I made the long 11hr drive down to Melbz all on my lonesome to visit the awesome Carnival and Kraden for their Birthday shindig of epicness! Crazy could not get the monday off to be able to accompany, but I did well I think! ^__^ Met some awesome peeps like Urban (cake master), DrDubz and PATness the epic guitar man X"3 Plus saw a bunch of awesome peeps I've not seen in a while, and was good to catch up!! =D
Changed carni's oil and filter and checked spark plugs and made sure the car was going all good (I was present for carni from crazy to be her mechanic) XP Met Carni's dad! Very cool lad with lotsa interesting stories and such! Generally was just a great relaxing chill out much needed holiday! Was worth the trip!! ^_^
Car news! X"D
Crazy and I had a letter fromt he real estate saying we had "too many cars and the place did not look neat and tidy" lame... I know. X.x So we spent lots of hard hours labouring getting parts of the old 4WD that we wanted to keep (boths diffs and drive shaft and a few other internal bits and pieces) very rusty old thing was very hard to undo ALOT of crap on it.. but we made it in the end.. Had a tow truck come pick it up, along with 10 tyres and as much metal we had scrap we didnt want. plus the old engine and gear box! we got $50 for it! X"D Next epic ness was to clean the shed out to be able to have ROOM and move things inside it to put a car away and store parts! That was a pretty epic job too X__x... and just last weekend we borrowed a car trailer to tow the ute of mine back to Junee with all our other cars X"3 (we have lots of 'spare parts cars') ^^;; Now we have no cars on the grass, one in the shed, the others neatly parked X"3 hopefully we have no more real estate problems!!
Been doing alot of commission work making sure they get well done before deadlines and such!! I've wanted SOOO bad to draw for myself in months, but still havent really had 'time' to do so... But after every commish is done for the year, I'll get some done for me! X'3 Also have some experimental things to do to improve my fursuit making techniques ^_^ All in the new year people!!
ANywho...that'll do for now!
Just be sure to keep telling me ideas and stuff you would like to see me selling at Midfur!! I'll come up with a short-list/samples of things I'll have soonish! X'3 Thanks in advance for your input!!

FURJAM 2012
Arrr Sydney, how crazy sure hates you X'3 yep.. takes a bit of a poke to get him to go there, it's because of the awesome peeps and the meet that we go!
FRIDAY
Crazy and I head off the Sydney after Crazy finished work. We had to stop by Campbelltown to get a part from Bursons, then go into some random suburb in the city somewhere to find an computer shop! We got to the street to find just houses and that the number we were looking for was no where near were it should be.. USUALLY street numbers are odd on one side and even on the other.. this street went from like 3 - 18 then the next house was 43 and up! we needed something like 20 or something.. the number that wasn't there! We luckily noticed a van with the computer shops name, so we figured it had to be somewhere close! and we scoured up and down.. and then I found it on the OTHER side of the road, half way up the other end of the street from 18! >.> also.. the only way I saw it was because of little tiny brother and HP signs in the window! So we found it.. yey!
Then we headed off to the pub for the meet!! We found a place to park kind of close by, and wondered to the pub. Went inside and followed the signs to the floor Furjam was situated! YEY immediately we see a bunch of familiar faces and want to hug each one all at once! lol! Awesome to see a few of my fave guys from QLD there too!! Ozkangaroo, Kazza and flameDrake miss you guys already!!
Dinner down stairs was really good too!! =) Also saw a guy who was drawing really cool artz! But I don't know who you are!
Stayed til just about close time and then headed off to Dustandafox and Lupie's to crash for the night =) (air mattress deflated pretty much all the way over night and also got smothered by the kitty, Kit Kat!)
SATURDAY
Awoke to the smell of PANCAKES OM NOM NOM!! X'3
Then we headed off to get me an upgraded phone since my contract was out and because I REALLY wanted this phone! (yep, totally got the most awesome phone evar!! The S3 ^o^ <3 ) Also love the idea of Phone plans... could never afford a phone up front >.> Then it was off to the park for the big meet of the jam! LOTS of people (not sure if more or less than last year.. but would have been close for sure!) Lot of hugs, lots of fun, lots of BBQ, lots of AWESOME!
Had a great time suiting up, probably the most I've done at Furjam before, the day was perfect, sunny and cool breeze~~! And OMG Flaydramon Made the most awesome delicious brownies I've ever had in my life!! <3 (tried making some today and failed.. ;_; ) thankyou for sharing with everyone!!
Later on headed back to the awesome guys' house to change for the nights event!! then off to the club!! Got there and was already looking pretty full.. got settled in, greeted lots of peeps again and then it was time for Anthrax's gig! The Good Anthro Year (spin off to Good News Week) vixen (Myself), crazy2287 (Crazy), Dustandafox (Dustan), Lupie, kataclysm (Kat) and beergoggles(Enigma) were the panellists.. I was nervous as all hell.. incase anyone DIDN'T NOTICE! X"D But I tried my best to do what I could =P lol
That was good fun and thanks to Anthrax for having us up there! Then went off and drew a silly picture for the art comp. I entered but it didn't count as I was one of the judges X"P
Chilled out for a while and then had dinner downstairs, which was really cheap and rather good! I'd eat there again! ^_^
Went back upstairs when Moskintia had started his set, had a bit of a dance, then suited up, then dance some more!! Good fun with Duke and Kaz and of course my crazy-fu!! Got tired out quickly and got changed again in time to help judge artz! Foxdale and I loved so many of them, lots of good artz to choose from!! But we ended up picking the one that stood out from all the rest, well drawn, simple and hilarious! Art was won by Snackish! Awesome artz and they won a custom plush by Kataclysm!
More musics and chill time, my wig got worn by Phoenixdafox (what a pretty girl you make dude!) X'3 and then flameDrake! (also looking quite dashing!) X'3
Then it was pack up and go time, lots of goodbyes and hugs had and then we were off. Then sleep time!
SUNDAY
Did not participate in furjam meets today, we steered clear of the city due to marathon stuff, so took bus in met up with Logan and then I got me a phone case <3!! After that, headed to Newtown and had a photo shoot of my vixen suit in the Newtown cemetery! Really nice and peaceful place, nice garden and structures too! =) I had fun! Thanks to Dustan for suggesting it for us! We all headed off for lunch, relax time, Dustan got some new shoes! Crazy had swollen sore knee *kisses better* and then we went to the Dendy cinema to watch "The Wolf Children" anime. Really good movie!! I enjoyed it alot!! I won't give anything away or say any more though, since its still out ^________^
Had to head back and get ready for home afterwards... But we had a great time! Thanks to Fulton/foxdale and Aurifelix for the event! It went well!! Really good to catch up with regular friends we don't get too see too often and those we do! ^_^ Also nice to meet new people too!!
FUR SCRAPS!
I have lots of bags of random fur bits of random colour and size, I was wondering if anyone out there like to use scraps for anything?? they are too big for me to want to throw away, but not big enough to be usefull for suits.
Probly good for small plushies or other random projects that require smaller amounts of fuzz. I'm thinking a decent bag (like plastic shopping bag size) full for $10 AU + what ever shipping is to your location. If you're interested let me know!! ^_^
If you need to know rough sizes of the bits are or colour range.. i'm happy to share.. but I intend to make the bags of assortments rather than pick and choose to save me time. MOST of it is of natural colours ie; grey, white, black, fox red ect various pile size too.. some bright colours in there aswell.
Also heads up that I will have a full suit available soon for a small person. details will be given when it's ready!! It'll be up on either furbid or ebay to begin with, if unsold.. it'll be available at Midfur! I hope to have a few other random suit things up for sale soon too!
And thats it!!
*those wanting art commish's, sorry I'm getting there!! its pretty full on atm!

I'll begin with that, if you're interested in the scrap fur, see end of journal!! ^__^

Saddness and mass house clean.. and an odd find!
Posted 13 years agoSaddness very much so here in this house... our beautiful little girl (Penny)... a chicken. Got quite sick and I had to take her to the vet. Just like it was with Charlie, she had to be put to sleep ;___; Her condition was a form of internal laying and also heart failure. I will miss her so very much >.>
Was just glad crazy was able to stop in at the vet while i was there.. although i was super upset, it was better with him there.
I wasn't up to doing commission work today, always checking on penny to see how she was.. seeing her deteriorate was heart breaking >.>
So, with that.. the best thing for me to do is labouring work (and also work that was well over due) which is... to house clean!
Did mass moving of furniture and threw away many boxes and stuff i don't need/ couldnt use anymore. I like to get rid of stuff.. make me feel less like a hoarder!.. although, I don't hoarde much, mainly paper and boxes, stuff i think i'll use one day... i decided if i havent used/looked or touched something in 1-2 years, its time to go.
Amisdt this epic clean, I came to a cupboard i've been dreading to clean for a while.. it wasn't very full...just pulling everything out, to mostly put it all back in bugged me.. which I did anyway, and cleaning every surface aswell X'3 BUT in this cupboard I came across a black green bag... one which holds the air mattress. I briefly peeked in, saw mattress and pump.. then though better see if anything else is in there (which i do for all boxes of stuff).. and O...M...F...G.. I nearly died of happy and angry at the same time~~!!.. MY CAMERA!!! Now this camera is one that I last saw only a day before Midfur 2010.. never saw it since... ARGHH!! I though it got stolen or lost somewhere unknown!! I was like "WHHHHAAATTT!!???" This camera I hadnt really had for too long either! I got it for the snow that year! (as its a waterproof/snow proof small compact digi cam) Last use was at a birthday shindig in Canberra November 2010!!
Soo yeah.. that was a good highlight ^^;;
Also mass cleaned lounge room, so it now has WAY more space, AND my sewing mahcine!! much more fursuit productivity to be done!! YAHH!!
Also getting literally every suface cleaned too.. walls, window and door sills, windows and curtains! ... come to think of it... I must be spring cleaning! X'3 only 5 days in.. but damn it feels almost like summer during the days atm!
In other news...
Once I get current commissions under wrap and close to completetion, I'll be working on my digital art skills.. try and tune them up a bit and TRY very hard to get that ONE technique/style that i can keep at.. I'm annoyed with my art always varying so much... i need to find my niche... Also want to put together some videos from the snow!! all in good time, i assure you!
Thats is for now..
till next time!!

So, with that.. the best thing for me to do is labouring work (and also work that was well over due) which is... to house clean!
Did mass moving of furniture and threw away many boxes and stuff i don't need/ couldnt use anymore. I like to get rid of stuff.. make me feel less like a hoarder!.. although, I don't hoarde much, mainly paper and boxes, stuff i think i'll use one day... i decided if i havent used/looked or touched something in 1-2 years, its time to go.
Amisdt this epic clean, I came to a cupboard i've been dreading to clean for a while.. it wasn't very full...just pulling everything out, to mostly put it all back in bugged me.. which I did anyway, and cleaning every surface aswell X'3 BUT in this cupboard I came across a black green bag... one which holds the air mattress. I briefly peeked in, saw mattress and pump.. then though better see if anything else is in there (which i do for all boxes of stuff).. and O...M...F...G.. I nearly died of happy and angry at the same time~~!!.. MY CAMERA!!! Now this camera is one that I last saw only a day before Midfur 2010.. never saw it since... ARGHH!! I though it got stolen or lost somewhere unknown!! I was like "WHHHHAAATTT!!???" This camera I hadnt really had for too long either! I got it for the snow that year! (as its a waterproof/snow proof small compact digi cam) Last use was at a birthday shindig in Canberra November 2010!!
Soo yeah.. that was a good highlight ^^;;
Also mass cleaned lounge room, so it now has WAY more space, AND my sewing mahcine!! much more fursuit productivity to be done!! YAHH!!
Also getting literally every suface cleaned too.. walls, window and door sills, windows and curtains! ... come to think of it... I must be spring cleaning! X'3 only 5 days in.. but damn it feels almost like summer during the days atm!
In other news...
Once I get current commissions under wrap and close to completetion, I'll be working on my digital art skills.. try and tune them up a bit and TRY very hard to get that ONE technique/style that i can keep at.. I'm annoyed with my art always varying so much... i need to find my niche... Also want to put together some videos from the snow!! all in good time, i assure you!
Thats is for now..
till next time!!

Post Furry Ski Weekend 2012!
Posted 13 years agoWell last Thursday through to Sunday was the Aussie Furry Ski Weekend!! Hosted by yours truley and my wonderful other half, Crazy!
This year we held FSW during the snow peak season, mainly because previous years held in the low season has not had much luck with snow levels. However.. it was well worth it! This year has been Australia's BEST snow season in 12 years!! Can you believe that!??? X"D It really was super awesome!!
Anyways, on to the write up!
Thurs:
Supposed to leave home by 9am.. but Crazy had organised new wheels and tyres for the Jackaroo, and they said if all goes well, we can be gone by 10am... so that was alright... but come 10am, they had only JUST gotten them in! And we had to wait longer... until 12pm infact. Not a great start to the day, but we got out of there eventually and packed it up and headed off!
Arriving in Cooma, it was wet.. and got I breathalised on the way through, nicest cops ever btw!! =D
Then arriving in Jindabyne we got some alpine diesel to have for parking in snow! We met up with Fuzzy, Rah and Hendikins at the Ski Tube, (who unfortunately had been waiting a while for us.. SORRY GUYS!! ^^; ) But we got there in the end!
Paid for the park pass then headed into Thredbo! ^o^ We got in and unloaded the car and just as we finished that, it was time to pick up Mojo and Aman~!
After everyone was in and settled, rooms sorted and food put away. We had a bit of a tour and 'relax' time before making dinner! The lodge manager then got all the guests together and discussed lodge rules and such aswell!
Sleepy TIEM!
Fri:
Wake up to.... SNOW! it was snowing outside! X"D And there had been about 12cm of snow during the night aswell~! WOO!
Had brekky, did chores, then we proceeded to go get our passes! =D
On to the slopes!! MANNNN the lines were long at Friday flat!! once we got on the lift, we didnt want to go back down, so Crazy and I cruised about the mountain up high. The others has lessons! It sure was icy cold, and windy, while also snowing! but the snow surface was well worth it all! POWDER GALORE! =3
We met up with most of the others at Merrits for a catch up and food, then went with Mojo and Fuzzy to carve up some powdery goodness while Aman and Rah headed back down to Friday flat ^_^
After a big day we headed back, got dry and warm again and then headed off to the Wildbrumby Distillery! X'3 Got there right on the mark of close time, but they let us in (as there was still people there anyways!) *phew!*
Got some nom pizza later on, then we chilled out (with my tea and tim tams!!) and watched Mongrels X"D
Sat:
Woke up to.. OMG SUNSHINE!! It was forcast to be snowy and windy like the day before, but being in the alpine region.. forcasts are never right! Thankgod!! X"D It was epic outside!!
We tried to get out of there ASAP to try get some fresh runs! Though, most of them was cut up already.. was still good! Up the top though was really windy and super icy, so we tried to stick in the middle and within trees as much as we could =D
We met up with everyone after their lessons finished to catch up and then go up to merrits area for some photos!
Stayed out on the slopes all day and then headed off back to the lodge. Although.. Mojo and Aman didnt turn up for a long time! They had ended up staying out on the slopes for night skiing and fireworks! X'3 woot!
Eventually after relaxness.. we had din dins.. and watched more mongrels.. at some point i got up to wash up my mug.. went for a lay down.. and woke up when crazy returned to the room X'D oops.. accidental pass out.. was SOOO tired!! =P
Sun:
Home dayyyy...awwrrrr =( packed up all our stuff and cleaned our rooms and did our chores. We had to say our goodbyes to the first leavers, Fuzzy and Rah so crazy could take them back to ski tube.. and left hendi there to wait while he came back for the rest of us!
Then it was time to say more good byes for Mojo and Aman (and I also found their car cover! X"D it had blown away several cars down!)
Stopped in Cooma for lunch, then took Hendi into Civic and say one more good bye.
Crazy and I had to go pick up a washing machine while we were there... then headed off home!
We had a lot of fun, and we thank Fuzzy, Rah, Mojo, Aman and Hendikins for accompaning us for this years furry ski weekend!! I sure hope you had a good time, and maybe even see you all again next year! =D

Aussie Furry Ski Weekend tomorrow!! plus updates!
Posted 13 years agoThis month has been full on flat out!!
Updated from last journal, Crazy made interservice snowboarding team and I went down to cheer on/watch/ take photos!
Some sad news before I left though... One of my girls (chickens) had to be put down ;______; I went to feed them in the morning and there was blood through the pen, I though they had a peck off.. but no, it was Charlie's back side. I quickly got a box and wrapped her up, gave her lots of hugs and took her to the vet. Her condition was so bad that they suggested the best thing for her was to be put to sleep. They arn't sure what caused it, but it may have been a tumor forcing her insides..out. I cried.. ALOT.. i was devestated. I had to say good bye again and go home and ring crazy.
He told me to bring her home to burry her with Arnie. So I rang up BC to see if he could help with tools. I am very grateful he and spence came to help me.. I don't know if i could have done it all my self.. and I thank them too for all the hugs too! Love to Charlie.. will miss you so much! ;__;
On to some better stuff!
had to rego TWO cars last week.. very money consuming.. only lucky that crazy got his tax return in time for it! X"D Both cars passed with out a problem! (especially after we worked our butts off putting in the engine for one of them and trying to get it going only the weekend before!!) one of which is the 4x4 we'll be taking to the ski weekend!!... SEGWAY!! X"D
Aussie Furry Ski weekend is tomorrow!! Crazy and I made this meet up to encourage furs to go to the snow and enjoy its AWESOME! The last two years we went in low season, to keep the costs down. But we lacked in any GOOD snow.. max we had last year was 12cm! gyah! (and only 2 other people came along)
This year, we changed it to be during peak season! for MAX SNOW ACTION! (and more furs too!!)
And the last few weeks have been snowing more than it has in 10years! So far I think the base is almost 170cm!! EPIC!!
Unfortunately.. its forcast to snow while we are there, rather than be sunny.. BUT.. it's still loads of fun anyways! (just more damp)
We'll be heading down tomorrow morning to start picking up people at skitube in the arvo to take them to Thredbo! then we'll have 2 days of snowy fun and then home again sunday morning!
Will have pictures and video footage in the future!! (video editing will start when my work load is much less! and spare a few hours a day on them) But.. it'll happen one day! X'3
Which brings me to commissions! Got a good bunch of commissions keeping me very busy lately! Totalling to 7! Most due for Midfur, but a couple due before hand! Been working very hard on each one to get them to be ALL ready well before time!
I am still taking commissions of course! if anyone is interested, please send a note! =)
Thats enough news for now... its time to get the fur out and scissors cutting!! =D

Snow, Snow, Glorious SNOW!
Posted 13 years agoLast week Crazy and I spent two whole days working our butts off getting our original 4WD engine, into the new 4WD body.. GYAH.. WHAT A TASK!! >.> Missed out on 2 days of snow time, but we got it done.. mostly.
Then we headed off to Wagga, to visit family, before staying the night (and hitting a wombat) and heading off the next day to finally go to the snow! XD (where I was rammed int he side by evil Roo.. >.> damn you wildlife damaging cars!) And Damn Snowfield Perisher really likes to eat peoples cash while they can! We have season passes bought cheap from last years promotion, which was awesome... since we are poor these days! We were lucky to have ski tube passes on them aswell, since it cost an arm and a leg to use the damn thing if you bought tickets seperatly! my god!! >.<
Pricing is ridiculous!
When we got up to the snow field, it cost a load just to be transported over snow to the lodge! So I went with the luggage and crazy walked... saving us about $20! (only a 10min walk too!)
geeeeeeez!
The lodge we stayed at was brand new! nice and roomy, and OMG ensuite rooms! Because we are members of this lodge, it's rather cheap to stay on snow! yey! Saved more cash by bringing our own food to cook too! =D
The next day was windy and mixed with the round tiny balls of snow that feels like hail and needles. X.x.... o well.. good to have something!
It snowed the next night allowing us to practically ski from the lodge to the field! (if we had skiis... but snowboarding is a bit different.. we cant go uphill easily) =P
Still, was nice to have about 16cm of fresh powder! (a rarity in Aus really!) lol!
The day after was full of awesome sunshine! I had the helmet cam equipped and filmed lots of foxy snowboarding! (will hopefully edit something together one day of this!) X"D
Then we headed off to Cooma to crash for a couple nights... and now I am home again, ready for tafe tomorrow XP
Will be off again to cheer on the Crazy one while he competes in snowboarding events through the week!!
After that, should be less busy-ness and more proactive fur buildings happening for sure! ^_^
Will update again in a week or so! hopefully with some snow pics!!

16000 and updates!!
Posted 13 years agoWeeelllll! I just noticed right now that I have just over 16000 page views! X"D I really dont care for them, or take much notice.. it just happened to be noticed today! lol! Last time I took note of a number for pageview was about 5 years ago for I think the 5000 view mark ^_^ I drew a quick pic for that, so I thought maybe I'll do a quick pic for this one? =P
Anywho, on the updates!
