And Back Again!

So, 2011? So far, not a great year for my poor little blog. Or my comic, for that matter... but I'm back again!

Here's what I've been up to lately:
  • Getting Strawberry Syrup back up and running. My readers had to sit through one heck of a long hiatus this year, but I finally buckled down and took my own advice to build up a buffer of pages before I ended the hiatus, so with any luck, they won't have to put up with another gap for quite some time.
  • Working on a few new items for my Etsy shop. A few new boxes, a few new sketch journals... One out of four is currently listed, so those are slowly going up.
  • Learning how to sew. My sister-in-law has been kind enough to show me how to use her spare machine, because we all know if I tried it on my own with no direction, it would end up imploding or catching on fire. In true Kit tradition, I'm not terribly interested in, oh, clothes. Nope, my thing is bags, pouches, and other items you can put things in. The fabric equivalent of boxes, if you will. Once I master the sewing machine (or, ya know, am reasonably capable of sewing a straight line), I plan on making little pouches with embroidery worth of hanging off any Renaissance Festival-goer's belt.
  • Watching Blue Exorcist on Hulu. GREAT series. Right up my alley... especially considering I don't usually watch subbed. I was also watching Tiger and Bunny, but I need to catch up on that one. As for dubbed, it's all Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood on Cartoon Network. It's wrapping up, but it makes waiting a week between episodes sheer torture.


And that would be what I've been up to this summer. Hope your summers went well. ^^

New Box: Red Butterfly Believe

Okay, yeah, I know, I suck at naming things. I have a long storied history of pathetic attempts at titles. If anyone can think of a title that doesn't sound like some sort of J-Pop group, I'm open to suggestion! ^_^;;

Anyway, this is my latest box. It's made of sturdy cardboard - the kind used as a base for paper mache projects - and painted "tomato red." Add in some decorative paper, sparkly acrylic gems and a butterfly trinket, and voila! We have the Red Butterfly Believe Box.

It's about 5x5", which makes it a nice size to set on an end table with a vase of flowers or something. It's definitely more of an autumnal color scheme, which, hey, just in time for that season!

In the meantime, I need to figure out the shop's policies. Apparently, having that blank is a major red flag to other Etsy folk. Our policies are elsewhere on the page... however, they were written by my SIL awhile ago, so I need to find them and figure out if we need to cover anything else. Good times.
