La Mort

So, suffering a minor hangover after about 3 hours sleep, but a BLT sandwhich and a coffee and everything was fine. It was lots of fun and everyone loved my teeth and I got lots of comments. This is a picture of me and my housemates all dressed as zombies... yes, I know, we looked awesome ;)

Halloween

Happy Halloween everyone! I'm not doing a lot for Halloween. In fact... I'm not doing anything. Tomorrow night is when there's a party at the SU so that's when I'll properly dress up and I'll take pictures and post them on here because apparently I prefer writing this blog than that blog I actually have to write for my Graphic Communication course. Oops! Anyway, here's a preview of what I'll hopefully look like tomorrow...

I followed this tutorial if any of you were wondering. It was quite tricky. First time completely failed and peeled off my face. I find it works better if you cut the toilet paper with scissors so you get a straight edge and it goes onto your face smoothly with PVA, and with the hairdryer, use cold air otherwise it will crinkle. I also got my new Geo Bambi Sesame Grey contacts so I'm going to wear them as well. Kawaii zombie! Happy Halloween! 

I'm Back!

We finally have the internet again! Well... We've had it for about a week now and it feels so good, but I've been very lazy and not done any blogposts... Gommenasai! But I'm doing it now so it's okay.

Since Onee-chan kindly gave me her sewing machine I've been making so many cute things!! Include frilly socks which are so easy to do. But my main KIY I've done is a cute red riding hood cape. I'm so proud of it as it was my first major sewing project and I thought it turned out really well. I might put up a tutorial depending on whether people like it or not... (then again I might keep it secret and sell them on eBay... Muahahaha). Here are some pictures... Enjoy

                          

                        

New Home!

I haven't posted in a while due to the fact that I've been moving house and that we won't get internet for the next 40 days! I don't know how I'm going to survive! So far we're just amusing ourselves with instruments and Dave the fish and lots (and  I mean lots) of films. I quite liking living with friends, it's lots of fun and we always have a laugh. There will be more KIY coming up because Onee-chan has given me her old sewing machine! Which means I'll be hopefully beginning to make cute stuff, then possibly my own clothes and ultimately... MY OWN COSPLAYS! I'm definitely excited for that moment in time.

KIY (Kawaii It Yourself)

Because I've been bored during the summer holidays I've been making lots of random stuff myself like the collars and things (if you haven't noticed). I got bored of saying "DIY" which to me sounds very manly and would involve some form of wood. I, personally, do not work with wood to make kawaii peter pan collars, key charms and small cute things. So I've decided to called it KIY. Doesn't really have the same ring to it... But I'm sure I can deal with it. Here are some more things I've made recently...

Made some cute cat ear in some hair clips

(No website, it was pretty easy to do myself, very finickity though)

Made a tiny Totoro from a template but halved the size

(also very finickity, but not as much)

And finally, I made a full size template Totoro!

Hope you like my cute creations! I'm happy with them.

Spain

I've just come back from a wonderful sunny holiday in Javea in spain with my boyfriend and his family. I had a wonderful time full of spanishness and I visited the interesting, to say the least, site of Benidorm (it smelt like warm sewers). Here are some pictures...

Me at the beach...

Thank God for table football (I win so hard at this game)

Classic pose in a restaurant

I had a swordfish steak... I love swordfish

Lightning in the sky

A random pretty view

I bought a t-shirt in Benidorm with this logo on it...

I didn't know what it meant I just thought it was really strange and hilarious. Turns out it comes from a comedy programme based around a fish restaurant... I think. Spanish wiki and google translate didn't really make sense. That's the trouble with buying foreign t-shirts... You never really know what they mean. At the airport on the way home one of the security people picked up on it, said a load of things and made an antennae gesture... I just smiled having no idea what just happened.

More DIY...

 As I said in one of my last posts, I attempted to make a felt peter pan collar following this tutorial. It turned out pretty well! The tutorial is really easy to follow so it wasn't difficult at all!

(Purikura!)

I also had a go at making a fox tail charm as they seem to be getting pretty popular and personally I find them really cute! I really couldn't be bothered to spend money on one so I just bought fabric and made one myself. Didn't need to follow a tutorial this time... It was one of the easiest things I've ever made.

(Purikura!... Again!)
