Desk friend: Zeus!

I named my Jolteon Zeus because how could I not? Just look at that face!

Eeveelution Outfits

For those of you familiar with my other accounts (Instagram or Tumblr), you'll know that I also do a lot of fashion and outfit of the day posts. My Tumblr is a full time fashion blog with a wide variety of styles being featured. I do like to craft outfits around themes or certain aesthetics, and when I picked up my eeveelutions it gave me an idea: Eeeveelution outfits! So far I've done a few, with more planned in the future. I want to try and focus on colors as well as the themes of each.

Sylveon for example has pink, white, and blue for its colors, and has a theme of love. So I put together this outfit with some Sailor Moon jewelry and a heart spotted shirt.

Next is Vaporeon who is my favorite (shhh, don't tell the others!). Vaporeon is blues and white, with an obvious water/sea theme. 

I also have some Gengar themed outfits coming as I hinted at in a prior post, so stay tuned for more pokefashion!

The dark rites of Eevee...

I started working on some new shelving for my apartment this weekend, in part because I wanted a place to tuck my plush when they're not being carried off somewhere. The Eeveelutions are one such group that seems like they need to be displayed, so I created them a little cubby on one of the shelves. And added a (fake) candle as I had them on all shelves. Turned off the lights and....oh...that's a little creepy.

Come play with us...

Gengar's Conundrum

Gotta catch em all!

Well may not them all, my apartment isn't that big.

I liked Pokemon a lot as a kid (a lot, a lot), though I mostly collected the cards. I loved the idea of plush, but tended to want plush of characters that weren't being made at the time. I did have a giant Meowth I got from a white elephant sale, and a very tiny Eevee plush. Aside from that I had some homemade plush that unfortunately didn't live to see today. Now though they make plush of everyone, and they're fairly prevalent online and in store. My dream is to go to a Pokemon Center someday and explore the even wider range of cut plush offered there.

This weekend I have added two new friends to my collection, with the potential of a third depending upon if I fall into the trap of Amazon (Prime is wonderful, terrible thing). The first is a small Eevee who could be the younger sister of Howl.

She's so tiny! Her name is Eevette 

She sort of fit into the inner pocket of my coat,

so I carried her around like that for the rest of the night.

Eeevee on the move!

Then while I was out doing some pre-work pre-snow storm shopping, I stumbled upon this fellow. One of the Pokemon plush accounts I follow on Instagram has a very charismatic Gengar for a mascot, so I couldn't help but stop and look at him.

If I was a Pokemon trainer I think I'd probably have some ghost type on my team given that our preferred hang out locations coincide. Gengar also seems like cuddly trouble, at least in this form. I'm still deciding between a few names for him. I'm actually also working on a ghost themed coord for a party next month, and I think he'd be a good companion to take along!

Pika pi!

I went on an adventure today of epic and exhausting proportions. Due to some trip related snafus, I ended up having to stay with my parent's dogs, but I was able to runs few errands. One of which was seeking out a Pikachu plush from Build a Bear.

Initially I called my normal store and they said they had him, but stock was low. I was there within about 45min and they had all sold out. So I called another local store, no luck. Finally, I tried a store that was about 30min away and they said they had some.

Smushed face of victory!

At that store they had three left, and the woman behind me took the other two. So I was very lucky to arrive when I did! The store was absolute bedlam, literally wall to wall people. The staff were great as always, which continues to impress me. I ended up waiting in the stuffing line for about 30 minutes, which wasn't too bad.

Post stuffing pika!

I did open him up again once I got home to fix his nose a bit (he suffers from the same weird nose issue as Eevee), and also to adjust his butt stuffing for lack of a better term. His seam was also pretty messy, so I fixed that as well.

So. Much. Snuggles.

I broke the Howl's Moving Castle traditon with this guy (I almost named him Markl) and went with Hamilton instead as I was listening to the mix tape on the way. 

Overall I'd say he's absolutely worth it if you can adjust his nose a bit before stuffing (or after if you're comfortable). He is big and plush (so soft!), and the perfect shape for cuddles. I'll be bringing him to a New Years Eve party with me this weekend as he's part of my costume.
