Ginnyyyyyy! I got to see your work in person this weekend. <3
I hung out with Jen, the girl you made the high-waisted skirt for with the three ruffled tiers.

She's supercute. :3
Definitely does your work justice. She gave it kind of a Beth/ETC spin.

If you can't afford a domain name of your own, you could try selling on EGL-Sales or making an Etsy in order to build a name for yourself and to put some money away for a domain name of your own.

Domain names aren't very pricey, either. The place I got mine through is ten dollars a year. Both of my domains registered for two years, forty bucks. Not bad at all!

i came up with a name- Migoto loli.

it is supposed to mean "beautiful", the migoto.

i just have to update the site now!

Wow, my linguistics knowledge is actually useful.

Migoto as an adj means something like Splendid, Magnificent, Admirable, or Praiseworthy, as well as Beautiful. As a noun is means commendable deed, feat, praiseworthy act, etc (such as: He has a perfect swing) It's also a 'na' adjective so if you were looking for standard Japanese, it would have to be Migoto na Loli(ta).
Overall, I think it's a little out of place or ill fitting-- and definately sounds like you took a babelfish translation and threw it out there as a name.
Other more appropriate adjectives for pretty or beautiful are Kirei (na), and Utsukushii (no particle required between adj and noun). Though I'm not particularly fond of using beautiful at all, as it seems like something self-absorbed to be calling your own shop.
If you would like to use Japanese, I would suggest something more subtle than "BEAUTIFUL LOLI" or anything else "___ LOLI." Maybe just stick to a single word?

Kanbi = Sweet
Kanmu = Sweet Dreams
Kawairashii = Sweet/Lovely
Youdai = Fairyland
Douwa = Fairytale
Tsukimisou = Evening Primrose
(Personally, I think Kawairashii has a darling sound to it when it rolls off the tongue, as does Kanbi)

Kanbi Loli sounds really cute.

I'll ask Brian tonight when he gets on [the guy who hosts my sites]. He got it all set up for me a few years back and lets me know when renewals are due.

99% of my work is currently by commission. ^_^
However, I just changed from being a part time community college student to being a full time student at a more advanced university, and I also changed jobs, so I am trying to shift my focus away from commissions to doing pre-made items in various sizes to sell. With the exception of special cases (aka if your name is Kate), I'm not accepting any new commissions for anything other than accessories, at least until winter break or potentially until next summer.
The "Work" of mine that Spuntino mentioned seeing in person was this skirt.
There is a more organized list of finished items and accessories here, and I have a tag for all sewing related things in my journal that includes past works, personal items being worn, design sketches (note to self: need to update with more of these), and works in progress.
