On another note I FINALLY ordered my first monofin today! I ended up picking the Finis Wave since I have tiny feet. Since I'm still early in the surrogacy I can't use it right when I get it but I shouldn't have to wait longer than a week or two after it gets here next week to be cleared for swimming.

Originally I wanted to get a fabric tail and monofin but my husband and I compromised on getting just the monofin since I plan on making my own tail or buying one down the road.

I think it's JFX studios or something like that. I don't remember though. They're not commercially avaliable though it's just because I was hanging out with the mermaids performing at the Aussie seaworld. It was soooo heavy!

Not entirely mermaid related but I started a kind of deal with a dice company (which make semiprecious gemstone and various metal dice). I send them my dragon and mimic dice holders , eventually other designs, and they sell them for me!!. Of course they take their small commission, but they go to the events with the specific clientele that would purchase them. All my items sold out within the first 3 hours of the weekend convention!!! Gosh that made me happy.

I can see why they sold out. Your mimic boxes are cool.

Thank you Hydra!! I wasn't that confident in them, though my partner was. But the income is nice considering working 10 hours a week I can barely cover anything.

An artist's greatest critic is themselves. If I had the money for it I'd buy one to keep spare change and trinkets in.

On another note I found out my monofin will be here tomorrow not next week. I can't wait to finally have it.

I have been told that many times. We see the flaws and imperfections because we spend so much time working and looking at it, where as others see the final awesome product.

YAY~

That's awesome! Good for you!

Guys look what just showed up in the mail!! The straps barely needed adjustment too!

My husband also got his Mares Raptor dive fins. We can't wait to test them out at Peanut Island.

my first one was a kid size but now they have the adult sizes! So happy! Amazon had the medium for 80$ with prime shipping!

It's really pretty. How big is it?

**MermaidBrandie** · 09-23-2016, 05:48 PM

Little over two feet square.

I found a gift card for Amazon hidden in some of my stuff just recently and I have been tempted to use it to get that blue Mahina. Have you swam in it yet CoyoteWalker?

**Azurin Luna** · 09-25-2016, 08:45 AM

I'm pregnant! 8 weeks now, so still pretty early, but so far I have been lucky and the sickness part hasn't been to hard for me, only a little nauseated at times.
I already made arrangements for the first echo and can't wait to see it

Went swimming with a freind today :3 it was her first time in the water with a tail and it was a lot of fun to have another mermaid around

I have! It's awesome. I love the mahina though, I've had on before but it was kid size and too tight.

You can always eat bread too, that helps with nausea. When you do get it or if it gets worse.
