<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><u>Moving the Workshop, Pt. 1</u></span></div>
<br />
<br />
So...we're super excited about these summer collections we've already got lined up, and still have some things to finish up for spring. The creative juices are totally flowing and we're <b><span style="color: purple;">super pumped</span></b>--<br />
<br />
--Buuuuuuuuuut first thing's first: <b><span style="color: purple;">gotta get organized</span></b>! As we mentioned in our <a href="http://hardcandyhouse.blogspot.com/2015/01/new-year-new-candy.html" target="_blank">first post of 2015</a>, we're moving our workshop <i>again</i>. It will still be at Grimmy's place, but we're going from the <b><span style="color: purple;">smallest</span></b> room in the house to the <b><span style="color: purple;">biggest</span></b>. It's very exciting getting to arrange and decorate the new room, and we <i>definitely</i> need the space, but we know it's gonna be a lot of hard work, too. <br />
<br />

Some things we'll definitely have to do:<br />
- take down and re-install wall-shelving<br />
- move free-standing shelf cases<br />
- move our huge ridiculous solid-oak-or-something table, unless we find a replacement first<br />
- make curtains for the new room<br />

And, of course we gotta do some shopping...<br />
- some cute, but most importantly <b><span style="color: purple;">ergonomic</span></b> chairs<br />
- some frames to display awesome art we've accumulated<br />
- cork boards and dry erase boards<br />
<br />

<br />
Eventually, after we get the basics sorted, we'll round things out with cute office utilities and trinkets (because we don't have enough trinkets), but one step at a time...<br />
<br />
We've got our classic hch playlist pumped up, chock full of high-energy essentials like Perfume and Capsule, and we're ready to make some waves. Coming out of the holidays, it's been a bit difficult to gauge progress, but hopefully we'll soon be able to bust out the 2015 calendar and make plans!<br />

We hope you dolls have had a lovely holiday season--whether you were hard at work or hard at play. We've been absent from blogging for ages upon ages, but we're back. 2014 showed us many challenges and changes, and we've decided to hit 2015 with a new approach. We always have so may ambitions and usually overburden ourselves, only to underdeliver in the end. So this year, we're going to make a plan--we're setting some resolutions! We hope you'll help hold us to them!<br />
<br />

That's right--our number one resolution for 2015 is to<b><span style="color: purple;"> blog more</span></b>. While we're not the <i>most </i>interesting people on the internet, we typically do have something going on worth note. We just fail at communicating. But we definitely want to start sharing more! So, we've vowed to spill the beans on a more regular basis! It'll be slow at first, but we've already got some fun ideas for columns that we hope you'll find interesting as well. Also, along with taking our blogging more seriously, we might also be looking at moving the blog, but that's definitely months away, if it does happen.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmQXOXEkVgbzC7HfgQrLcrjt1hU9pj9Kh0s3TsCQnENxuwH-2V_32vdL4mGBMsa4CrwxnsXF5OyU5ieDWhrMXa88UKqSuzAkb9fCZFQpy7KcvIXv_PdaebM2L4JWebt51n3wFsNBcVBjY/s1600/organized01.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmQXOXEkVgbzC7HfgQrLcrjt1hU9pj9Kh0s3TsCQnENxuwH-2V_32vdL4mGBMsa4CrwxnsXF5OyU5ieDWhrMXa88UKqSuzAkb9fCZFQpy7KcvIXv_PdaebM2L4JWebt51n3wFsNBcVBjY/s1600/organized01.gif" /></a></div>
Now this is always something big: cleaning and organization. We like to rearrange and change things up every now and then, just to keep things fresh, but overall, we still have a lot to improve in terms of organization. Everything can stand to be more organized--from our administrative documents, to our craft supplies, to our networking and communication strategies. One thing we currently have underway is moving the workshop <b><span style="color: purple;">again</span></b>. It seems like we move it a lot, but this time we'll be in our<span style="color: purple;"><b> largest space yet</b></span>, and we're super excited! It will certainly be a lot of work--to probably include painting, reupholstering, and building new fixtures-- but we're totally committed to making the most of this new space! And in line with our first resolution, we plan to keep you posted on our progress!<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Lastly, what's really gonna help us get it together is to <b><span style="color: purple;">plan ahead</span></b>. We always have a ton of awesome ideas, but inspiration usually strikes late. We want to do a better job of getting prepared well enough in advance so that we can bring our dreams to life properly. Since we do work best under pressure, this does mean that some ideas will just have to be well documented and saved for the future, but that's still something. So far, we've already started gearing up for our new <b><span style="color: purple;">summer collections</span></b>, something we historically haven't started working on until usually the first month of summer XD<br />
<br />
<br />
So those are our <b><span style="color: purple;">three commitments for 2015</span></b>. We hope you'll help keep us in check through your support and feedback!<br />
<br />
What are your <b><span style="color: purple;">New Year's Resolutions</span></b>?<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Firstly, let's start out with our <b><span style="color: purple;">cheap but swanky</span></b> hotel room. This year, we were <b><span style="color: purple;">late </span></b>and<span style="color: purple;"> <b>last minute</b></span> with pretty much everything, so we didn't manage to get a room at the convention hotel before they were sold out. So instead, we booked the nearest and most affordable hotel, which ended up being a LaQuinta. We--as does probably most of the rest of the USA--were wondering precisely what the hell is the proper pronunciation of "LaQuinta," so we decided to ask the super awesome and super chill desk clerk, Wendell. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Wendell told us that the correct pronunciation was "lah-KEEN-tah"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
or "luh-KIN-tuh"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
or "luh-KWIN-tah"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
or pretty much whatever you want! HOW CONVENIENT. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Wendell even hooked us up with a room on the <b><span style="color: purple;">first floor</span></b>, only a few yards away from a <b><span style="color: purple;">ramped entrance stocked with dollies</span></b>, which also had a <b><span style="color: purple;">microwave </span></b>and <b><span style="color: purple;">mini fridge</span></b> [even though our reservation said that a room with those items wasn't available]. Thanks Wendell! ♥</div>

None of us had stayed at a LuhKwintah before and were quite surprised by how nice and spacious it was. There was a lovely hardwood foyer, with an odd corner closet that we didn't use at all. Across from the door and full-length mirror there was a counter with a coffee maker and another mirror. We brought a bunch of food and provisions with us, so this counter was the perfect place to stock plates, bowls, cups, forks, knives, and the one spoon that we brought.</div>

Roomy bathroom with great storage space and a <b><span style="color: purple;">huge mirror</span></b>. The lighting in the bathroom was also <b><span style="color: purple;">excellent</span></b>. The only real negative thing we found about the room was that one of the double doors to the bathroom did not latch closed and there was no way to lock it. So we had to hold it closed with a rubberband.</div>

This adorable doll remembered visiting us at AWA years ago and was even wearing one of our older bracelets. It's there, mixed in with all of that phenomenal cuteness! The mint wig looked so perfect on her head. Dye your hair mint, girl!</div>

The actual Spike Spiegel [from the anime Cowboy Bebop, but surely you already know that]. Everything was spot on--the way he stood, his mannerisms when speaking, the way he held his fake cigarette. It's a shame that our creeper skills have diminished over time, else we would have more photos of him. But we were mostly just staring--the camera was an afterthought.</div>

As far as the convention itself, traffic seemed nice, and there were positive changes to table layout and placement in the Artist Alley. There were food trucks located in the back of the AA that did make the whole enormous room smell like grease [not actually noticeable until you smelled your clothes the next day], but the food certainly did help to drive traffic to the artists with tables at the back. There was also a 'potluck breakfast' for the members of the Artist Alley one morning, though we were too busy being late setting up to really get involved. It seemed like a really sweet idea, though, and was very well received, so hopefully we'll participate if they do it again next year. All in all, we had a great time at AWA, as always, and can't wait to attend it again next year.</div>

Just dropping in for a tiny Friday food post~ <br />
<br />
<br />
Some CornNut Muffins (original concept) I made on Wednesday morning. They had peanuts, cashews, pecans, and walnuts (and some other secret ingredients that I might reveal in the future). They came out <b><span style="color: purple;">superawesome</span></b>. I was <b><span style="color: purple;">so pleased</span>.</b>

Then last night for dinner I made Tuna Tacos and Spanish rice. I was in a hurry, so I used a seasoning packet for the taco fill (tuna, black beans, corn), and a rice package that was also preseasoned, but I typically prefer to season it myself. It was actually too spicey 。゚(゚´Д`゚)゚。

Rin and I are going to a friend's <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #741b47;"><b>birthday dinner</b></span> tonight, and I'm a bit dressed up~ I don't usually post outfits here, since my style is more <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #741b47;">rock / gal</span></b>, and hch is more cutesy. However, I am wearing quite a few <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #741b47;">handmade items</span></b>, and I thought I'd share!<br />

We are unsure if this is simply a Blogger glitch, or an issue with Disqus.<br />
<br />
To keep things fair, if your comment did not show up, we ask that you <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #741b47;">send us an email </span></b>including your Google Friend Connect name, the set that you chose [Good or Bad], and the link to your giveaway reblog. Please send your emails to <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #741b47; font-weight: bold;">giveaways@hardcandyhouse.com </span>.<br />
<br />
We would also like to note that this will add a slight delay to the announcement of the winners and the shipment of the prizes.<br />

Just dropping in to let you know that our <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #741b47;">Good Girl Bad Girl Giveaway</span></b> is officially<b> closed</b>! We will be contacting the winners in the next few days, so <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #741b47;">keep a look out</span></b>!<br />
<br />
In other news, we have been working on <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #741b47;">nails</span></b>, and some upcoming <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #741b47;">Summer themes - </span></b>and we are super excited! We also just <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #741b47;">moved</span></b> the hardcandy house workshop into Rin's current residence. The room is full of so many <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #741b47;">cabinets</span></b> - it's GREAT. Although with the way we craft shop, we will probably run out of space soon!<br />
