I came across a very talented illustrator, Kei Phillips, on DeviantART.
I bought a 16x16 print of it, and it's currently hanging in a thick black frame in my bedroom. Day after day, I'd see it on the wall, and finally I decided I had to have her design a new blog character for me!
She was so easy to work with, and was open to letting me edit the character to my liking. With some team work, we morphed my character into the girl I know and love today! Here's the stages she went through, labeled with whom made the changes:
Here's what she looks like currently:
...And here's what she'll look like as I grow out my hair!
The best part is, she'll do commission work for my clients as well! If you're interested in having a character designed by Kei incorperated in your blog design, please contact me so I can request a quote for you!

OMG that is about the cutest thing I have ever seen. Love that you have a long hair version ready to go too. :oD
So cool! Thank you for sharing the evolution of your character. It was fascinating to watch the changes each of you made.
cool process - might have to remember her if I ever need a character, but I should really make my husband use his illustrating talents instead of being lazy
