I have really random sleeping patterns lately.. I woke up late today but ended up making it over to my friend Hannah's.
For those of you who don't know, she began making ponies a couple months ago when this craze exploded; she started out discouraged and frustrated with patterns she wasn't satisfied but she's come a long way in my opinion. This is just a great example of how hard work can really pay off, and I admire her so much for that as she is a great inspiration to me. :D

Here is a picture of her Twilight Sparkle (with Rarity's mane!) and headless OC pony! They are just beautiful.. her photos don't do them enough justice. ;_;
You guys should really check out her work here if you haven't already! I think she's a really under rated (and underpaid) artist who produces some of the best work I've seen.. her body pattern is constantly improving and is so polished. I think the thing that amazes me the most is how she can bust one of these out in a day. It.. baffles me lol. I take weeks and even months just to do a single plush.
Today we went for sushi and talked a lot about experiences, relationships, sometimes getting a bit philosophical into things. I like that we're on the same wavelength about a lot of things. We probably don't hang out as much as we could be. 8'D
That said I think I'm going to get together with her again sometime this week. I'm stoked for a trade that we're gonna be doing in the next couple months (but totally need to finish the couple I still have yet to complete before starting this); I think her talent has so much potential for growth. It gives me the drive to do the same. On top of all this though, I'm just feel really lucky that I have someone local who understands crafting and meshes so well with me. <3
I am just so pathetic when inspired, lol.

Hooray for friends ♥!
And I know! I used to whine about there never being a collector around me.. she doesn't necessarily collect but we share the same interests, and she loves to craft too; that's good enough for me. :D
How awesome that you can share great conversation with her as a friend too. She sounds like an awesome person. I would love to one day have someone local to "art" with too, hahah.
HEY ARE YOU MOVING TO OREGON? If so I would totally be down to hang out sometime. I think there's a ferry that goes near there but I'd have to double check..
Thank you so much for sharing your friends work! I have been wanting a Derpy plush for so long. Do you know how much she charges by chance?! Though, right now I am a tad broke I'm afraid...;_;
I think she charges about $225-$250! Her commissions will still be open for a while even though she's full at the moment, I am sure they'll still be open when you're a bit better off financially. <3
That is not bad, it looks like her ponies are of a decent size too! Hopefully, I can get my finances back on track. They were at the beginning of the year, until the enclosure fiasco struck...;_;
Edit - I just noticed her hats! I need one in my life...O_o
