Around Town I

Good evening!  I'm late this week with posting(and I missed last week, buuu~), but I *am* trying to be better about that. Only one day late isn't too bad.  ^ ^
But I've done some tweaks to the blog recently; I changed the layout and made a new header today, and there are some social media buttons added in the sidebar, so please feel free to follow me on Twitter or read my geekery on Live Journal, if you so desire!  Oh, and I added a link to my Ameba/Ameblo blog as well, but there isn't much there yet.  ^  ^;;

Anyway, I thought that today might be a good day to share some of the photos I amuse myself by taking whenever I'm out and about town, either running errands, shopping or on my way to and from work.  I don't have an actual camera yet, so for now, 99% of my photos are taken with the camera on Haruka (my LG Quantum Windows phone).  I don't always remember to fix the settings, so some of them might be a bit grainy/unfocused, but I hope you enjoy them anyway!

Oh, and before I forget, THANK YOU to everyone who's commented and followed this blog.  I hope you'll keep reading, and I'll do my best to make posts that are enjoyable to read!

Until next time~

Belated Halloween & Hair/Makeup Shot

Ahhhh, I'm late posting this week, but Happy Belated Halloween! How was it for you?  Did you get candy or go to a party?  I went to spend the evening with a very good friend of mine and her family.  Since I've never really celebrated Halloween or anything like that before, it was lots of fun to help decorate and hand out candy to all the adorable trick-or-treaters that came by!  I dressed up as a witch for the day, but alas, I forgot to take pictures of my costume.  TT-TT  But I did take one of my hat once I finished it!

Behold, my custom-designed & made witch hat!

I was very pleased with the way it came out!  Basically, I sewed on some striped ribbon around the crown, and made a pumpkin pin to go on the front. But the felt pumpkin and the feathers had to be glued in, since they wouldn't stay on otherwise.  XD  And maybe next year I'll get a more elaborate dress and jewelry so I can use this hat again.  :3
