hello there! any questions?

Hi friends!

Since the wedding and honeymoon (thank you for all your super sweet comments on the photos!) I have been feeling a smidge behind in the blog world. I noticed quite a few new faces showing up in the comments while I was away and I thought maybe now would be a good time for a little bit of Q & A as well as an opportunity to get to know any new readers.


So, if you are new around here (or just feel like saying hello) and would like to introduce yourself or ask me a question now is the time! In the comments you can ask me anything you might be wondering (as long as it is appropriate of course, haha) and/or say hello and tell me something about yourself!

  1. Hey Elycia, I'm Lorna from www.projectlorna.com and I'm a long time fan. You emailed me back about letting me use your pi video and I felt like I'd met a celebrity!
    Is there a colour you've wanted for your hair but never gotten around to trying?
    p.s. CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

  5. I Elycia! My name's Megan and I've been following your wonderful blog for a little while now (I'm also from Ontario! woo).

    As for my question, I was just curious if you have made any new art lately? Your adorable banner is what attracted me to your blog and since then I've been hooked! I really love your drawings. They have such charm!

    Also, congratulations on your wedding! You looked absolutely fabulous!

  7. Hey Elycia! I left a comment a couple of days ago saying I'm new. Thanks for replying :) You've become one of my daily reads as of recent. I have a couple of random questions, sorry if this is too long!

    1. You recently hung out with Kaylah a while back. Have you met other bloggers in real life?
    2. What's the most difficult thing about owning your own business?
    3. How did you get such a cute light color for your hair?!
    4. Where do you normally find inspiration?
    5. What's your favorite thing about having a blog?
    6. What's been your favorite project/ DIY? Least favorite?
    7. Did you look anywhere to find inspiration for your wedding?

    As you can see, I just like coming up with questions! You don't have to answer them all :P

  13. Hey Elycia! I'm Lauren, and I've been reading your blog for months now, I just get a little shy about commenting on things. I'm not sure why, cause once I start I'll never stop. (: I have a blog that I love dearly called Ivory Giraffes, and as of right now my sister and I are doing a Giveaway. I'd be so stoked if you wanted to give it a looksie.
    My question for you is what's your natural hair color, and when did you start dying it? Was it a hard decision to start dying it, or did you not even think about it?
    For the record, I'm in love with your blog and I think you're just the bees knees.

  14. Hey! I'm a new reader here and loving what you have to share and say. Hmmm...I guess for a question I'm wondering what do you think is one of the most unique attributes of each of your furry felines?

    I have 4 furry ones myself. :)

  21. Allô!
    I'm a relatively new reader... Through dainty squid!
    I live in the toronto area and am curious about what are some things to do in Hamilton? My bf and I are always up for random road trips and Hamilton is always mentioned between us... Or can you recommend any other cool cities to visit in the Ontario area that you love?

    My best friend and I currently have a blog called walkingtaxi.blogspot.com. We do walks around Toronto ... And rate them... It's still under construction... But just putting it out in the blog world to see what comes out of it.

    Love your blog and keep up the good job! 2 thumbs up!

  27. Hi Elycia, your wedding photos are wonderful, you looked so beautiful. I was wondering what was your favourite part/thing about your wedding?
    It would be awesome if you did a post on tips for wedding planning and how you stayed unstressed during planning. Im newly engaged and am already stressig out! Theres just so much to organise.

  29. Hi Elycia!

    I'm Iris Anastasia from The Netherlands and I follow your blog for a while now. I love the way you "run" this site, I love your great sense of style and I think your a really nice and cute girl (: I also followed your wedding on your site and I loved it! You really inspire me (:

    I have a blog myself, but unfortunately I write in Dutch ( curious?: http://www.irisanastasia.blogspot.com/ ). I love to wear vintage clothes, I like to be creative and cat's are my favorite pets ;) My boyfriend and I (we live together) are thinking about getting one in our home. I have a big tattoo (which will take a little more time to finish), dreadlocks, a few piercings. I have a passion for traveling around the world, photograph and scuba-diving.

    Well, that's enough about me ;) Great idea, to let followers introduce there selves. I checked your read-page a few days ago, I love this new version!

    Have a lovely day, kind regards,
    Iris Anastasia.

  30. Hi Elycia! :)
    I'm a new follower (well, I follow since May, more or less), and I really really adore your blog but I never comment because I feel a bit "boring" compared to you :).

    I'm Italian and I'm 31, and I really appreciate your hair color. I wish I'd be so brave to dye my hair, too, but I don't think my boss would appreciate... I don't know.

    That's all. It would be a pleasure for me if you would visit my blog (The Bunny Hole is about crafts, while Theallamenta is about nail polishes!).
    Have a nice day!

  41. Hey Elycia! :)
    First, I think your name is really beautiful! Love it!
    And I have two questions :)

    Ehm... Can you tell me where you got these pink boots from this (http://www.loveelycia.com/2011/06/photos-diana-f-roll-two-part-1.html) post.. Would be great! They are so cute! :)

    And then I wanted to ask, which template you are using! Because I'm using the simple template, but there are some things, I think, which aren't good to handle with! haha

    So I would really appreciate if you could answer me! :)

    Have an awesome day! Nina <3

  42. Hey Elycia!
    I'm Sara from Prairie Hen. We have corresponded a few times via ig and email but I couldn't resist the offer to say hi again. First I would like to say that I really admire how you are so genuine and goofy. It helps me be able to laugh at myself more. And your vlogs are my favorite. I am determined to do one one of these days... I just have to figure out a subject. Anyhoo- that's it!

    Lots of love,
    Sara

  43. Hi Elycia!

    I am Marielle from magical day dream, I am a 22 year old student living in the Netherlands. I have been reading your blog for a little while now. I love drawing and making things. I only recently started blogging, and when Elsie showed some positive reactions on bloglove I decided to give it a go as well (although I am just making my first baby steps into the blog world). Your recommendation helped in doing that :) I guess one of my questions would be how do you go about guest blogging? I am a bit shy to ask and am not sure when it would be appropiate to ask such a thing, how well you should know someone, how to go about password log in practical stuff etc. I am wondering how you (as someone with more experience) started doing this.

  45. Hey, I've been following your blog for a few months and love it! First, congratulations on your wedding!! Second, my question is how do you organize and run your shop? I've been wanting to start one for a while but I never feel like I'm crafty enough. Thanks :)

    ReplyDelete
  46. Hello! I've been reading your blog for a few months now ... I've been one of those lame readers who checks your blog everyday but comments rarely. Ha!

    I have to say, I LOVED your wedding pics. So adorable! My question for you is, did you guys write your own vows? Or did you reword anything to fit the two of you personally?

    Thanks for having such a sweet blog!

    ReplyDelete
  47. Hi Elycia! I've been a lurker for quite some time but left a comment or two during your wedding recap posts. I found you through Mary Rebecca since we guest blogged around the same time during her blog's 2 year blogiversary. :)

    I could've sworn I read this on your "about me" page a looong time ago, but I think you mentioned being an engineer before? hehe it's so cool to learn more about the technical backgrounds of bloggers who are also crafty. Anyway, just wanted to say hi again!

    xo,

  48. Hi Elycia,

    Love your blog, been a fan for months now. Just wanted to say it was adorable to see all of the personal handmade touches you did for your wedding day, I know it made it that more special. Do you ever think about becoming a wedding designer? Your ideas are too cute!

    ReplyDelete
  49. What do you do for a living and what is your typical day like?

  50. Elycia, I'm Mary (Marizabeth) of Freeze Frame (www.marizabeth.blogspot)! Do you collect anything in particular? I love seeing other people's collections! And for fun, if you could be any kind of animal, what would you be? It's always the ridiculous questions that are fun. :)

  51. Let me just say that your video blogs are adorable...so genuine!

    I'm new here, and your blog is such an inspiration. Thanks! :)

    ReplyDelete
  52. I absolutely love your blog, and I've been reading it for about a year now,just after I started blogging myself. Though I really think this is the first time I've commented, I'm quite shy like that!

    My own blog is a bit of a mish-mash of everything, it has no niche of its own, but I enjoy it. Unfortunately, I usually use it to vent about how, now I've found the person I want to spend my life with, I've got limited time to share with my boyfriend.

    Keep up the good work, I must try this commenting thing more often, now that I know it doesn't bite!

  53. Hellooooooo! *waves*

    Pretty sure I introduced myself on one of your wedding guest posts, but I'll do it again for the fun of it =)

    I'm Katie, I'm a cat lady who is I'm 24 and lives in the UK. I saw your blog on Kaylah's and was instantly hooked! (Mainly by your pink hair - it's fab!) I just started a new blog after using livejournal for over 2 years! If you get the chance, go and have a nosey round!

    Hope you're having a super dooper time being married!! =)
