> o < Sorry it's late!! Another trip to China--I got back early this month. My laptop doesn't have photoshop on it, so I had to wait until I was back. Let me know in the comments if you guys super like the version with the dates on it for each month. It takes me a few more moments to make that version, so let me know if I should keep making it!
Sorry I didn't make one for January! I actually had a bad cold last month after the holidays > , <. Instead, I've been focusing on editing all the Japan vlogs. They are almost all uploaded!
Hope you enjoy this month's design! Happy *early* Valentines Day! : )
I decided to start doing some new videos about the latest releases from Rilakkuma. In this series, I'll also be making blog posts so you can see full sized pictures of the releases I mention.
Next, let's take a look at the releases this month.
There will be a 2017 special series for Kiiroitori! It's the year of the chicken, so Kiiro will bring you good luck. On November 10, they will be released for sale on the San-X net shop. Full info at San-X here..
Finally, the 2016 Rilakkuma Christmas series!!! Yay! They took so long to release info about these. I have had the Christmas play set preordered since September! I think I will be buying these directly from the San-X Net Shop. Mira Plush now has them!
Yay, 2016 Calendars! I got one of these, too!
All calendar selections can be foundhere! I've seen them for purchase on the San-X net shop, ebay, and Amazon.jp.
I also got the yearly bill book! You can keep track of all your expenses! I bought mine on Amazon.jp using Buyee, but I've also gotten it at CD Japan in previous years.
So this year, I was shopping for cute Halloween cards. But, I couldn't find ANY I liked!
So I decided I had to make my own.
I came up with this super cute Rilakkuma pop-up card design!
Below is the front cover!
I am also making personalized Halloween cards with a sticker set, Halloween confetti and a Rilakkuma polaroid from me. It is now available on my ebay shop! You can also buy the blank ones if you don't have the time/materials to make these yourself!
In addition to the main series, there will be a caravan event on October 15th. The Rilakkuma mascots (the big costumes) will be at certain stores. You can get the limited edition plush at this time.
I'd love to attend one of these someday! Koguma is so cute!
Today's blog post is all about the second story of Koguma: "Delivering the Gloves" which has also inspired a new series, the Gloves Theme (or Delivering the Gloves Theme). Blog post on the goods in this theme HERE!
Below is my translation of the San-X information page about the story, and also photos used on Rilakkuma's Facebook page. They had posts of the story each evening during a week in September. I translated these day by day on my own Facebook page, too. So if you'd like to follow along when I translate their posts, please check out my page, here! : )
Below is my translation of their posts, and then some images that I translated, too! Enjoy!
Because of the popularity of Koguma, the story continues! It is a heart-warming illustrated story:
It's now become colder. Korilakkuma would like to give Koguma some handmade gloves as a gift. She decided to go to the Honey Forest alone to see Koguma.
Her first trip to see Koguma is exciting, but a little scary, too. Rilakkuma and Kiiroitori are secretly watching from behind. They are worried about Korilakkuma going alone.
