100 Things #005: Procrastination, the writer's companion.

I need a break from considering weighty matters like my complete lack of skill in basic areas of craft, so I bring to you: peculiarities. Mine specifically, but you're welcome to comment with yours

Now I'm wondering if you follow little_pearls because she's a seamstress and does cute ball-jointed doll outfits all the time.

I think the cute stationary and a shiny new notebook with a cute cover is always good motivation for getting something done! Lmao.

[myaru]

No, actually, and now I'm kind of sad if she's getting out of the hobby and won't be sewing anymore. XD

Stationary should make you want to write on it!

Oh man, I could never afford to plunk down for a BJD but I WISH I COULD. Every now and then I sneak over to the Bluefairy site and just sigh over all the prettiness. Yours are lovely; the one on the right has such clear and pretty eyes!

[myaru]

Thank you! I had some help in getting mine at first. I certainly can't afford to buy new ones unless I sell old ones, even if I sometimes wish. >_>

Bluefairy has some adorable dolls. Also some really cute clothes. ;_;

Those notebooks are so cute! And I think going to a cafe with nothing but writing materials is a great idea. Now you've made me want to make an inspiration/motivation post, too. It'd be fun if everyone did it.

[myaru]

You should! I'd like to read about what inspires and motivates you.

Grape soda is delicious.

And I've found that boring classes actually can inspire creativity-I've actually done the note-passing thing before in math, too, haha; it was fabulous.

My preferred notebook changes every few years or so-right now I'm a big fan of these eye-scarringly neon colored notebooks (as I am quite partial to eye-scarring neon). Before that, there was this one year Urban Outfitters made the perfect notebook (perfect line darkness, line spacing, awesome elastic/fabric thing to keep the notebook closed, and birds on the cover), and I bought a ton of those so I would be set even when they inevitably discontinued the line.

Finally, someone who understands! XD

Those are great notebooks. I bought a purple one a while back to replace the one I keep in my purse, and it's the perfect size and everything. The little notebooks I find at Kinokuniya and other Japanese stores always fit my requirements better. The stuff I find at Target or Staples is never as flexible or perfectly sized.

Urban Outfitters makes great stuff sometimes. I have a glass candle with beautiful decoration on the outside, but I'm betting they don't sell those anymore. Makes me not want to use it.
