Okay, so I realize I've kind of been inactive on DA lately. And I apologize to anyone who actually has a problem with that School has been taking up a lot of my time-I've been working on bringing my grades up, and I'm fairly pleased with the results. We get out June 20, but unfortunately have finals in about two weeks. If someone wants to come and wipe my teachers' minds so that we don't have to take them, I will love you forever. And probably make you cookies.

I've been re-watching a lot of TV shows (namely Kids Next Door) and going through some new ones (Justice League and Supernatural) as well as reading and re-reading books, so that's been eating up of my afternoons. Not complaining at all, though! KND has always been a favorite, and JL and Supernatural are quickly rising up my list. I've also begun reading the Mortal Instruments series, finished up re-reading the Harry Potter series, begun re-reading the Bloody Jack and the Maximum Ride series, and I've got The Fault in Our Stars on hold at the local library. Did I ever mention I like books? Because I like books.

Crafting has been taking up a lot of my time as well. I've got so many ideas for plushies and jewelry and cosplays to make that I've literally got lists written on my windows! I've been refining my knitting skills, and teaching myself to crochet with the aid of some helpful YouTube tutorials. Can I give a great big thank you to everyone who has posted tutorials for anything at all, be it paper crossbows or making your own wigs or crocheting or making lipstick out of crayons? Thank you. You've been a tremendous help!

Also, I got a Tumblr. And since I was someone who swore up and down she'd never get one, the website has decided to unleash vengeance upon me for ignoring it for so long. I wish I could deny it, but...yeah, I'm a bit obsessed. I'm summersyettocome, if anyone wants to check it out. summersyettocome.tumblr.com/

My final reason for ignoring DA is that I've been doing a lot of story and character development. A little bit of fan stuff (I'll probably begin writing some 9, RotG, JL, X-Men, and maybe a bit of GKND stuff in the next couple of weeks) but I've mostly been focusing on a story that I've tentatively titled "Moonsilvers", which I've been working on since I was about seven or eight. I abandoned my original stories in favor a lot of fandom stuff for a while, but I've started up 'Moonsilvers' again, so don't be surprised if you see a lot of that over the next couple of weeks. I'll post a picture tomorrow showing just how much work I've done on it lately. While on the subject of original works, I've also been planning out two or three little animations (hand-drawing each frame, wish me luck!!). Figured I should get in some practice, since that's where I'm planning on going in life

I'll wrap this up by apologizing once again for my inactivity, and promising to be a little more active on here

Happy Sunday, everyone!

Guys, I need some help right now. I've been making clay jewelry, earrings and necklaces mostly, and I'm looking for a reliable website where I can sell them and maybe even accept commissions and the such. It'll help out with paying for college in the future, so if any of you have any suggestions, please let me know! I know that only a few of my watchers look at my stuff, but this is a pretty urgent situation, so I'd like to have as many people help out as they can!

Are you guys okay with it if I do a Livestream in about half an hour? I'll just be coloring a reference sheet, nothing really fancy. I haven't done a Livestream in ages so I figured today was a good day for it

Edit: Mmkay, guys, we're live! www.livestream.com/Maerd Hope to see you there!

Hey guys! My friend The-First-Star is having a Livestream, for which you can find the information here: my.deviantart.com/art/LIVESTRE… There's no specific time yet but I'll be sure to update with changes! I hope you guys will come; it'd mean so much to her

EDIT: Time has now been confirmed to be 7:00 Eastern Time. Link is here: new.livestream.com/accounts/14… Hope to see you there! Remember, it's okay to come in late!

Hey guys! I've got a friend, The-First-Star who's doing a Livestream right now...

She's very frustrated because people haven't been showing up to her Livestreams and she's beginning to give up. Please, come on over and support her! She's awesome!
