(design by HTQuyet Origami, though I didn't quite follow the exact design lol)

Check it out!! I got ahold of the Miku playing cards!!! I adore the designs and I love the tin they come in! They shuffle well, though they feel a bit flimsy, so perhaps they're something that'll be broken out mainly on special occasion. I'm excited tho!! :D

Here's a craft I finished; it's a string of doves! I had fun making it! It's gonna be a Christmas present for one of my lovely family members :D (dove design by Alice Gray)

As the holidays approach, I get to start kicking off the fun yearly tradition of making little origami or papercraft gifts for people! I'm excited :D here's something I made last year!

Got to play Glass Garden again today! I scored 6 points this time around, which is double what I did before! :D but I can still do way better...

I'm excited! I booked a trip to go visit my partner next month c: it's gonna be a lot of fun! Let's see how many board games I can fit in my limited luggage space... xD

Similarly to the calendar idea, I had the idea to make some budget sheets with the new laminator and some dry erase markers! I love un-digitalizing things >:D

Check out this calendar I made! I'm gonna laminate it and then use dry erase markers on it ^^ I'm super excited! :D

I've tried out the card game Glass Garden for the first time! As with many of my first attempts at games, it leaves much to be desired (I got 3 out of 16 points XD). I really like the theme and the gameplay is fun so far, though! ^^

Check it out!! I got some new games from Buttonshy! I've been eyeing them for a while and decided to get them. I really like the design of Glass Garden, and I'm super excited to try them out! :D

I need something that combines my love of vocaloid music and board games. Somebody needs to make a Hatsune Miku board game xD

I was playing a game of The Walking Dead: Surrounded, and I think this is my highest-scoring run yet! 27 points! ^u^ (though, I technically failed because I didn't meet the scenario requirements... xP)

The first snow of the season has arrived!! As is my tradition, I went out first thing in the morning to go make some tiny snowmen ^u^

The other day I visited a local gardens and sculpture park with my roommate! We got to go in free, since they're an employee there. It was a lot of fun, walking around and interpreting sculptures and admiring the lovely fall colors :D

The world of print and play card games is a lot of fun! It combines both crafts (which I love) and board games (which I love)! I really need to do some more, it's been a while since I've done any ^^ (here's one of my more recent ones of a game called Orchard)

I feel like it'd be a fun idea to do a YouTube series where you and some friends perform a crazy physical feat, like climbing to the top of a mountain, just to setup a couple camping chairs and a table to play some random board game once you make it to the end goal XD

I love these wallet-size games by Buttonshy! They're complete card games that come in a package that fits in this little wallet. Many of them are really good for solo gaming on the go, but some of them are great as multiplayer games too c:

One of my favorite video games is a god-game called WorldBox! I have hundreds of hours on it, but I don't really play god very much with it. Instead, I like to watch civilizations rise and fall while chronicling all of it like some all-seeing historian and statistician xD

I appreciate tabletop games that go the extra mile to provide variety. Variety in ways to play, or having achievements are all lot of fun and provide a lot of mileage for the game! These are definitely things I strive to have when it comes to the games I make and ones I buy ^^

Went to a local art event the other day! It was a lot of fun and I'm always very inspired by events like these. Here's a couple pieces that really stood out to me as incredible!

I feel like it's uncommon for board games to have stories in them. The "story" emerges by playing the game with how the players play and interact with one another. But I like the idea of adding actual lore to board games! I want to make a connected universe of lore for my card games ^^ #lore #create

Here is the finished product of the WIP I posted a bit ago! It's a cute little tropical scene c: I really like how it turned out, and I think it's a fun and interesting spin on what would otherwise be a more simplistic piece of art. What do you think? :D
