Thank you for visiting my small slice of the world.

Hi there and welcome to my Diary! I appreciate everyone who comes to visit. I started an account on TheOtaku and MyOtaku over twenty years ago when I was about 12-13 years old. Oh the memories that I have of that bustling internet world. When social media wasn't even a term yet! This place taught me so many things and I have made wonderful lifelong friends here.

I am coming back to this place to blog again. Even though not many visitors come around, I am just happy to be back, let my thoughts out and be apart of this legendary website. I will from time to time post on MyOtaku, for those who login once in a while, I want them to see that the site still has faithful visitors.

Thank you for being here. You are amazing.

  • To keep my diary like old times
  • To share my stories with people willing to read them
  • To interact with other people with similar interests like me

Working on my book

I am writing a book and it's taking up all of my time! However, it will be so worth it. Don't worry Otaku friends! I am here to stay and wont disappear for years on end anymore. I love it here so much!

I just wanted to hop on real quick to say, THANK YOU to those who are joining in on my 90's Fan Art Challenge! It is SO fun to see what you are drawing and creating. Absolutely talented people here

SO I am working very hard on baking, cooking, concocting all of my recipes and images for my little homesteader book. I will say, this book is for everyone. I know that in the niche of homesteading, it can feel like a rigid niche buuuuuuut because I don't always fit in with people, I make things my own. It will have such a different attitude than most other homestead books I have read.

Hope to talk to everyone soon!

Fan Art People!

Hey all! I have been so busy but I also wanted to post too! I am not sure who is entered into my Fan Art Challenge but if you have entered, don't forget about it! It's a fun 90's anime challenge and I would love to see what you draw.

Anyways, I am posting before I have to get to work on a Crochet Pokemon order. I dislike saying this but THIS IS HARD! I took on the challenge of crocheting a Lycanroc Dusk Form plush and...... It is HARD! I will say I will never make one again unless I charge more. I seriously undercharged because I didn't have a clue how hard this would be. Stay tuned for the finished PIC! If I like it, I will submit it as Fan Art.

Have a great weekend everyone

Did someone press Fast Forward?

Yikes! I cannot believe my kids are back in school now! I really hope they have a good school year. If they feel like it, they may blog here on their pages but you know how kids can be Sooo Busssyyy.

I am working FAST on getting the rest of my book written and edited - I am just adding and removing some things for the time being and making sure all of my pictures are catalogued correctly for the book. One thing that I need to make a weekend for is baking and cooking.

I need sample pictures of the food I make for the book so that means I need to spend an entire weekend cooking and baking and the photographing!!!!!! I'm going to need some taste testers or more like really hungry people who want loads of dinners and baked stuff. I might even freeze things for quick meals.

Anyways, I feel like its been so quiet but I am secretly wishing this place would come live again... even just a little bit. BUT I am so thankful for those who do stop here and say hi. Remember, you can check my archives for previous posts. I try to give it time for people to log on and visit.

Here's a sample of the kind of pictures I gotta take. I took this picture when I was jelly making a while ago. These are homemade chicken nuggets

Another week starts NOW

Monday is tomorrow and I’m honestly looking forward to it!

It’s a fun day with all the back to school nights for my kids. I can’t believe my oldest is starting middle school now! Whaaaat?! And I’m off all week for book writing and crochet orders. The following week is when I have to clean houses. Ugh. But I make money from
It!

I neeeeeeeed to clean my kitchen because soon I need to get model photos of food ready for the book I’m writing. There’s a few cookbook chapters and now I have to make pretty pictures of the food I cook and bake. Someone hire a house cleaner for me! I’m so busy being a house cleaner for others that my house sits at the end of the line.

So my latest crochet order is Lycanrock (dusk form). I got this! It’s a little difficult but I think it can be done. I’ll be sharing pics once he’s done! Currently I’m finishing up a Dragonite so I’m excited to share those pics too!

For now, I want to share a pic I took 5 years ago. A little sunflower fell into my garden - it was in my popcorn patch actually. I decided NOT to pull it and see how it grew. Well… it grew 13 feet tall!!!

Talk to you soon!

Back to Work

The moment I got back from vacation, I had to take care of my house and farm animals. The next day, I had to go back to work. My main job is cleaning houses, then book writing, then social media, then crochet artist. But the biggest job I have on top of that is Motherhood! It’s back to school week and I’m getting appointments made, school supplies and bedtimes all worked up.

Life sure is different from even 15 years ago. It’s busy and I swear the timeline has been sped up! Why are days so short? For real! Hahahah

Anyways, I just wanted to keep giving MyOtaku love and support by posting. I love it here. It’s my favorite blog to ya know…. Blog!

For fun this is a picture of me and my pet chicken! She’s a sweetie.
