I’ve been working hard(or hardly working) a line of scarves and hats. In my area rumor has it it’s going to be a colder winter. I mean I don’t expect anything extreme in the Peach state. I have several new scarfs I recently added to my shop for sale. >>>>> Check it out <<<<<<<< These scarves are $70 on my shop. “Oh that seems high. “Some may say. Well I don’t think so. I take a lot of time to make each scarf that I crochet. At least 6-7 hours. “Well crochet faster?” Some may suggest. Well I am a human not a machine. After not selling a thing at…

WIP Crochet Rainbow Skirt
Breaking News!!! MikuMarmalade is obsessed with crocheting Tutu skirts. Even her 3DS has been neglected. I totally have no regrets. Well, maybe just one. I went to the yarn aisle more times than planned and left with yarn. Oh well, I’m satisfied with the purchases. Here I am twirling around in my studio in the WIP. I am adding a row of black and then purple(because what rainbow doesn’t have her royal majesty color, purple?!). I’m debating on if I want to add suspenders or keep it as a basic skirt. Meh.

Crochet Rosalina Cosplay
I just realized on March 19th 2017 that the story of my Rosalina cosplay isn’t on my blog. I know. What am I doing with my life? Please note this blog post is written two years after its creation. It’s not new, but my blog is kind of new. So work dated as far back as 2014 may pop up. So in October of 2015, a local comic book store was holding a Halloween costume contest. I decided to enter and make my costume. Conveniently in the same month. Because waiting until the last minute is the best way to execute plans(not). Anyway, I had just gotten obsessed with Rosalina…

Crochet Ariel Birthday Cosplay/Cosbound
So this is a story all about how my life got– oh wait. I decided to cosplay as Ariel on my 29th birthday. I am entirely convinced that I’m indeed a mermaid, well at least in swimming pools. Hurray for finding an exercise that is enjoyable that doesn’t feel like work. I had a few personal goals outside of cosplay that I wanted to experience. One, no social media for the day. I give myself a 90, I posted this pic at the end of the day on Instagram after dinner and lurked Reddit. However, throughout the day I spent it in the real world and with my dad. He…

Crochet Fairy Dress〜?
A beautiful crocheted dress design I freehand crocheted. This dress was originally created in 2016. Before mikumarmalade.com was a thing.? I crocheted myself a fairy dress to go out on the town for a local LARP event a while back. I like to try various things out. Yes I’m intensely focused on whatever game I was enjoying. I wonder if it was Mario Kart… I created wings from fabric, wire hangers and paint. Dress concept art:

Cat beanie or demon?

Weekend art shenanigans
Such interesting are these photos of art projects. /s This is how I spend my free time. So admirable and exciting, I know.

My not-so-stellar experience selling crocheted stuff
Disclaimer: This blog post is not meant to dissuade or discourage anyone out there who sells their crochet work or dreams of doing so. If you find your efforts are paying off, by all means, go make a killing!! Hi. If you’ve spoken to me within that last couple of years, you’d know I’m very adamant about not trying to sell my crochet work. I’ve tried numerous routes in my arsenal to make money from my crochet talent in my later 20’s. Most efforts ended in complete failure or close to it. A casual vlog of my discussion why I don’t sell my art(crochet) I tried having an Etsy shop, I…
