Tuesday, July 13th, 2010 by KiyuBall gown 2009: Greek Goddess [design]
Wednesday, November 4th, 2009 by Kiyu
I’ll be going to a pharmacy ball in Desember. Will actually be the very first ball I attend! Excited!
Has anyone wondered why I wear clothes with empire waist a lot? Empire waist elongates a petite figure and enhances a small bust. Perfect for me. A trick to remember, Trinh and Phuc! The skirt’s not going to be this full, though. It’s just the walking that makes it “pouf” up. I’m going to hunt for fabrics on saturday to make my love.
Reference pictures to the style of my gown can be seen below!
My baby sister Lise..
Wednesday, August 12th, 2009 by Kiyu..has grown quite a bit during the last couple of years. I really should have thought of making her model my creations much, much earlier!
I dressed her up in my gear! And did her hair! She looks fabulous in it, doesn’t she? Though she squirmed and giggled and thought it was embarrassing during the shooting..
13 years old and just starting her freshman year in junior high; and she’s already my size. Dang, what did we give her to eat when she was little to make her grow? That I didn’t have?

Redesign: “Candy Shop”
Tuesday, July 21st, 2009 by KiyuKIYU-SHII.NET’s Lilypond design has been redesigned! I call it “Candy Shop” because all the reds and whites remind me of a classical christmas lollipop. Still workin’ on a few more tweaks, but should be cleared up in a few days. My absolute favorite part of this redesign is the upper bar. The best idea I’ve had so far! Albeit perhaps eye-boggling, it’s just so… KIYU :D
I’ve also collaborated with Bao (the collaboration part won’t be revealed for a while), so stay tuned for more surprises!

“Crepe Eline”, a new babydoll dress!
Sunday, July 12th, 2009 by KiyuA new babydoll top/dress in the category casual/spring. I didn’t publish the design before making it because I didn’t think I’d actually make this one! Nevertheless it has become my new favorite piece to wear :D Looks great with baby blue stockings! If you want to see a crapstastic picture of how it is worn, (I’ll have some proper pictures as soon as I can drag Phuc’s sleepy head out of bed) click here!

Bubble Bee
Thursday, June 4th, 2009 by KiyuI officially name this design Bubble Bee! It came out fluffier than expected, but it looks good. What do you think, should I keep it this fluffy? ‘N what about the shoulder straps? Band or spaghetti? I’m thinking spaghetti straps, but instead of the usual fabric straps, I want to use sailor’s rope! Sailor’s rope would look incredible on this design, I think!
Details about Bubble Bee and proper photos will come later when it’s 100% completed!

Contemplating – which one to make!
Wednesday, June 3rd, 2009 by Kiyu
If you’d like to come with suggestions to details (or simply anything you’d like to point out) before I hit the sewing machine, do it now! I think I’ll start with the second design with the hand-stitching and criss-crosses! I love criss-crosses! And I love the charming look of rough stitches! I’ll probably never get to do the first one, don’t have the buttons!
Both designs are based on a really cute thing I found at Vero Moda. I want something casual, summerish and obviously cute, so don’t let your design musé go all out, eh!
..oh, who am I kidding! I’ll probably add some crazy Kiyu-ish, nutty detail in the process! Knock yourself out!

London here I come!
Tuesday, July 29th, 2008 by KiyuFlight tickets bought, hotel room booked (it is, isn’t it Rolf?), excitement gushing and my brain’s going mushy. Yes, I’m off to London on monday! :D
I’ve always wanted to go to London. Actually, England has been on top of my priority list for quite some time now, I just never had the money or the opportunity to go. That is, until now.
You see, I’m not the average London tourist who goes there to shop and look at the famous attractions. Oh no. My trip is going to be more like Lutten’s.
I’m gonna feed the squirrels.
And as you can see, I just launched Version 3. Lilypond. Isn’t it pretty! I finally managed to create a white layout :D I spent 3-4 hours designing it, another couple of hours coding it. I originally had a lighter version, but people voted for this darker one, so I ended up using it. I WAS originally going to bug one of my friends into snapping lily pictures for me, but they were so slow that I settled with a stock photo from Adiastock instead.
The tabs finally get more attention now! Please do visit them often (except for the login tab of course, it’s only there to make life easier for me and Lutten).
A few bugs are still present (SCREW IE), but I’ll get back to them when I get home from work. Please report to me if you find any other bugs than the ones in the gallery and content background missing in IE!
Seriously. Stop using IE. BURN YOU.
Use Opera. Or Firefox.

I CAN SEW CLOTHES : DDD
Sunday, April 27th, 2008 by KiyuMWAHAHA. Jeg fant ut nå nettopp at jeg faktisk kan sy klær. Nei, jeg lyver ikke! :D
Isn’t it cute? I’m going to wear it to school tomorrow~
(Nei, det er ikke cosplayet!)
Jeg har nå byttet ut HELE systemet på Bildegalleri med zenphoto. Man it makes everything so much easier for me! :D Designet har blitt litt forandret, samtidig som det er flere funksjoner til stede for dere. Den største forskjellen er det bare jeg som merker (less hassle, moar pictures!), men om dere har noen formeninger om det nye systemet er det bare å skrike ut!
Nå kan dere også gi hvert bilde en rating i form av stjerner hvor 5 stjerner er det beste. Rate rate! :D
Dere finner det rett under et bilde til venstre. Stjernene er hvite, så det kan være vanskelig å få øye på dem. Men om dere lar musa fly litt rundt på området ser dere nok snart noen orange stjerner :D Og det beste av alt: det er PREV og NEXT-knapper der. HAH PHUC. Nå kan du ikke klage lenger!
I og med at jeg har byttet ut hele systemet, var det på tide å legge ut bilder fra USA-turen jeg var på sist sommer. I know, been some time. Bedre sent enn aldri! I tillegg har det kommet noen nye bilder under Bildegalleri>Random.
Hmm.. Nå lurer jeg på om jeg skal legge cosplaybildene i det nye gallerisystemet. Det vil gjøre alt mye enklere for meg med fremtidige oppdateringer. Should I?
EDIT// Vampire Knight ch. 39 er ute! :DDD
