Challenge Mode Gloom

Hope everyone is loving their weekend so far!  Here is what has been playing over and over in my head the last couple of days...


So this amazing (local -- she's from Victoria) Pony Plush artist is open for commissions starting yesterday!  I love her applique technique, which she uses for her eyes and cutie marks.  Which, is incredibly badass, because she offers lower prices on her plushes as she does not have an embroidery machine.  Does not matter though, because her stitching is very clean and precise. Also, she makes hats! CHECK HER OUT!!

Not gonna lie, I commissioned a mini pony of hers a few months ago.  It is my favorite thing that I own in the whole entire world.
On the topic of plushes, I have been working on my own pattern lately.  I'm not comfortable with my works-in-progress being public at this time buuuut I'll keep you posted when things look a little more polished.  I really hope to be making full plushes with my pattern by the Summer, if not way sooner.

And on the topic of PONIES, I'm conjuring a second OC!  However, I'm having a hard time replicating MLP's particular style.  I have my own way of drawing and it makes it difficult when I want to make a show-accurate character.  My perfectionism is my worst enemy, I swear.  ONE OF THESE DAYS I will come up with a reference sheet of my current OC! ONE DAY. I PROMISE. :|




I'll take this as an opportunity to mention that my success in Challenge Modes is null.  I am getting so discouraged.  This couple I've been running with has managed to achieve 9/9 over the last week when I was not with them, and they promised to help me get there as well.  Wellp I'm gonna just throw this out there and say I am a bad luck charm or SOMETHING I dunno because every time I'm in the group, the rest of the team sucks balls.  BALLS.  And I hate it.  I hate wasting time.  Challenge Modes are fun, but no one wants to be in the same one for two hours straight. 
Well maybe some of you do but you cray. 

Yesterday, my friend Kathleen trained me in her personal gym.  I just sneezed and my abs hurt so badly.




OK GOODNIGHT ENJOY YOUR SATURDAY :D

Well hello, friends!

I hope you are as excited as I am about my decision to start a blog!

How is this blog going to be relevant to my interests, you might ask?

Well here at Fexxalicious!, my goal is to entertain you and keep you up to date on what is happening in the world of yours truly.  If you don't know anything about me, that is fine, because you are about to find out TMI.  Stick with me here, I promise it gets better.

First of all, do you like gaming?  Do you enjoy MMORPGs such as the ever popular World of Warcraft?  Great, because I do too!  And since that is what I spend the bulk of my time doing, I plan to provide both my experiences, links to guides and websites I find interesting, and updates and news that I am excited about. 

If you are as big of a fan of My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic as I am, then you're also in luck!  Because when I'm not frolicking in fields of Fel fire on my Warlock, I am creeping Pony artists on DeviantART.  I plan on providing highlights of my favorite artists including sculptors and plush crafters!  Many of these folks also provide giveaways of their work, or hold contests occasionally, so I hope to keep up to date on these sorts of happenings.

Also, I am way too obsessed with EDM (that's Electronic Dance Music for the un-hip).  I think it's unhealthy.  My husband gets headaches from the constant bass that follows me wherever I go.  Because that's all I listen to and if I had it my way, I'd be in a constant state of raving and that would be my job.  A professional raver.  Forever.  So expect some of my favorite tracks to pop up on a regular basis.  Also, my favorite Pony is Vinyl Scratch.



Finally, I go through phases of random things I am super into.  Sometimes it's food.  Actually a lot of the time, it's food.  Sometimes it's tattoos, or getting braces, or a dress I found at bebe but didn't buy for some reason then jumped through hoops to get my friend to pick it up for me only for it to be too small but I had already ripped the tags off in my frenzy. 


So whatever is on my plate at any given moment, is what I will be posting about.  And I genuinely hope this amuses you as much as it amuses me.  And on that note, I am off to spend hours trying to get 9/9 Gold Challenge Modes, because the Warlock set is TO. DIE. FOR.  LITERALLY.
