Walldecor.

Hello! 

This one is going to be a smaller post, more like an "update". Just couple things I got done today. First three I'm going to keep myself and hang in our living room. Still not sure what I'm going to do with the last one. 
Might take it to my work place and give it to my co-workers. The theme fits the cake boutique quite nicely :)

I made these using some plain frames (removing the glass from them), cotton fabric, burlap for the flowers (which I burned) and brads. For the smaller one with golden frames I only used cotton fabric (for now). Here's a link to the site & page I took the idea from: Framed Burnt Fabric . Check it out! :) 
Took me a while to find the page again >_>...

The black ones are bigger than the golden one (the flower in the bigger ones wouldn't fit the golden frame).

^ Here's the first three pieces I made. The background is "Vintage" French Macaron themed cotton fabric I bought from eBay. Also have the same fabric in more pastel colours (used on the one below).

^ This is the smaller one, with only a piece of fabric. Thinking of adding some golden buttons etc. to the frame to make it stand out more. Maybe. Still not sure. :P

And that's that! Posting again in couple days when I make those cupcakes! And as soon as I fix one of my cellphone cases I'll post about them too. :)

Bags!

Hello and long time no see!

I have been quite busy/tired the past week so I haven't gotten anything done really. I had work for the past four days and by the time I was home I was too tired to do anything, and it was already getting dark enough to have problems taking pictures.

But I finally got the bag I ordered from eBay! So now I can make my "favourite bags" post. 


So, of course, starting with the newest bag. It's a black leather (haven't bothered to check if it's real.. doubt it) with golden metal parts and black lace in the front. Price was around 10 British pounds, so I think somewhere around 15€. 

^ Tadah! And the lining is very cute! Large dark brown polka dots :)

And has a long shoulder strap too, so I can carry it in many ways.

Next is the smallest bag I own, which I got from Lumous Festival XII (a "gothic" festival). Nothing that special about it (the festival), but the bag/clutch is very pretty and feminine. If I remember correct, this one was 20€.

^ Woah! I really love the huge flower it has. And the lining is cute too! <3

Things keep happening

Hello, hello.

I finally got the painting to a point where I can say it's done. At least for now. I think I'm going to add something to it, but I'm going to need some Roman numbers and some clock hands. But I don't feel like spending money on anything atm, since our budget is really small.

Anyway, I'm going to post pictures of the painting. 

It is a Victorian steampunk styled painting, I hope at least. Tell me what you think and how you see it. Does the red around the flowers look more like rust or blood? Well, I can tell myself that it's nowhere near perfect or anything like that, but I did get to try our my fiancés air brush compressor and the new gear stencil I had.

^ Here you can see the whole thing.

^ And here is a close-up of the "main part" of the painting. So, blood or rust? :P Or perhaps it's just a big mess.. 

Well, like I stated already, it's nowhere near perfect and not 100% done, but it's in a point where it doesn't look that "unfinished". I think. I hope. Any thoughts? :F

Oh and, our younger cat is having a phantom pregnancy, hallelujah. Now just keeping my fingers and toes crossed that her swollen mammary gland won't start to hurt or get infected. I really could live my life without any unnecessary vet bills to pay. 

I still need to pay my dentist bills, and even thought I'm happy to find out that I have great teeth and all, I'm not happy at all the pay the bills..

Oh well, I can't start stressing about unpaid bills. I'm trying to hard not to stress about things, I really need a stress free life, even if it's only for few days.

That's that for now! I still haven't gotten my bag (argh!) , so for now there's no bag post coming. Maybe next week? Please? ;__;

Trying something new

Hello! Has anyone tried anything new recently?
I've been quite busy the past few days, I'm working on a new painting and I visited a friend. Also resizing some doll clothes for his dolls. And this and that. 

Anyway, there was this drink I've been wanting to try out for a while, and so far I've only found it in one store in Finland. Well, I was out with my friend and I saw the bottle again (there was other flavours too, but I've wanted to try out this one the most), so I thought, why not, let's try it.

^ Here's what it looks like. Arizona Green Tea with Honey. Delicious! And the bottle is so pretty too. Definitely going to be one of my favourites. Can't wait to taste the other flavours too. If I remember it right, it was a bit over 3€ for the bottle (sounds expensive, but the bottle contains almost 0,5L so it's not a bad deal), and I got it from Arnolds. 

Do try out it if you like green tea drinks! And why not just for the bottle, it's pretty :)

I'd love to post about the painting already, but I've been busy with other things so it's progressing quite slowly. But hey! Maybe I'll get to make a post about my bags! I promised a friend of mine to make one, since summer is coming slowly, and I ordered a new bag (hoping to get it tomorrow!), which I can't wait to use!

It got pretty dark early today, and my neck is feeling a bit stiff again, so I didn't work much on the painting, but I did try out this one lovely little thing that was so interesting that I needed to try it out!

So! It is a DIY solid perfume pendant. Luckily I had gotten this pendant from my friend, so I didn't have to go hunting for one. I saw this on Youtube ( DIY Perfume pendant (CutiepieMarzia) ), check it out! From there you can find all the instructions and items you need. Plus all other cool things to try out (I know I'm going to :3 ) !

^ Cute little purse :)

^ Looking like a cancer when opened, but at least it smells good.

I hope to finish the painting tomorrow, but not promising anything. Also hoping to get the bag already, I can't wait for it! :D
Anyway, I hope I get something to post about! I'm also in progress of couple other wall pieces and decorating my cellphone cases. So many things to post about :3

That was that, see you!

Ebay purchases 1. And happy International Women's Day!

Hello hello. I didn't get to post yesterday, I was a bit busy and getting up early was very tiring. So I spent all the bright time napping after I got home and then it was already dark outside, and I can't take any good photos with my cellphone if it's dark.

So, this will be my very first eBay purchase post. I'll be posting some of the most resent items I've got.

I've been really getting into golden accessories and jewellery lately, and I also wanted to try out some leopard print. Thank goodness we have eBay, so if something doesn't look good on me, I won't be losing much, since most items I buy are very cheap. :)

^ First is a pair of earrings and a hair piece (thought I prefer using it as a necklace).

^ And then I got two leopard printed scarves. The one on the left is bigger, and the one on the right is very slim and has small fabric "rose" to it. The rose has a clip so I can take it off and put on my hair if I want to.

^ Then I got some Japanese 100% cotton for my craft projects! I'm making some wall decor with these, I bought some frames today, I'll try to post more about them tomorrow. There were so many different kind of patterns to choose from, but I eventually decided on these three.

Last but not least, I got some cellphone rhinestone stickers and some loose gemstones. Going to decorate my cellphone covers with them. I'll see if I get to post about them tomorrow or the day after that. Going to make three different kinds. Wait for it ;)

.......

So there! Some of the new stuff I have. Probably going to get more next week. Also going to post about the wall decor I'm making. I'll be adding a link to the page I first found the ideas, in case someone else wants to try!

Did anyone buy something nice for themselves, or perhaps someone else? Or did someone receive something nice? Please share your thoughts!

Byebye!♥
