It has been quiet.

Hello!

Sorry it has been so quiet lately (if there's anyone reading my blog :P). I've again been very busy with work. And life for once. Anyway.

It's cold. And dark. I love it. It's so beautiful outside now that it's cold enough for the snow to stay.

^ Took the picture this morning while waiting for a bus to come.

.......

Yeah. Start of the month was very busy indeed. But now I am back on my feet again!

I also got some more stuff (late Christmas presents), but for now I don't have any pictures to show. But I can show some stuff I've been making.

My grandma is turning 75 in few days, so I'm in charge of making the cakes. I also made her a card, which isn't that special since I didn't have much time to make it. But at least I have a handmade card to give her.

^ Just some stamping stuff and few blings.

^ Roses for the cakes.

.......

I've been doing a lot of repainting lately, but for now I have no pictures. And I am not sure if I'll be posting them here. Might do it over tumblr.

Anyway! More posts coming soon, lot's of new cheap eBay purchases and such! Stay tuned!

Quick update.

Hello!

As you know, I was visiting my father last weekend. Travelling with cheaper train is horrible...

Anyway, I'll be getting a possible fleamarket post coming (if I manage to find anything..) and another eBay cosmetics post (I got some extra money :3). I'm going out tomorrow with a friend of mine to scavenge some new fleamarkets, possibly some older ones if we have time.

I'm still very tired after my trip, but boy did I have fun! My father seemed very pleased with my gift for him, which was a photograph album filled with pictures of me and my brother when we were young.

And this time I remembered to take a picture of the card! It's nothing big, just a small card saying "Congratulations" and a poem behind it.

^ Nothing special :)

.......

Too bad I didn't get time to spend at Helsinki, there was a shop my friend told me about and I would've wanted to check that out.

Which reminds me... There was this odd statue near Kamppi (a shopping centre & bus station). See for yourself.

^ Very bizarre. Baby Lordi (Finnish band..)?

.......

Well, what ever it's supposed to be, it's odd.

And that's all for today, hopefully the next post will be longer and more interesting!

More eBay stuff & Mother's Day cards.

Good evening! 

As I promised, I'd make this post at the end of this week, and since it's Friday it means that it's time for some cheap stuff from eBay!

Let's start with some jewellery stands! I've been fighting with my jewellery for a while now since I'm starting to have quite a lot and there's no good place for them, so I decided to check eBay for some nice jewellery stands and/or displays. 

And I found some!
I ended up getting two stands for my earrings, one for bracelets and one for necklaces (still haven't received that one..). And at some point I'm going to get one for my rings. 
I'm also planning on making one myself, for my stud earrings.

Anyway, some pictures!

^ Two lovely pink metal stands! There were also white and black ones, but I chose this.

And after taking the pictures I realized that my engagement ring is hanging on the left one :D

^ Bracelet stand with very bad picture quality. And this was the best I got :/

The snowball looking thing is a project I'm working on.. Not that you can see much in this picture :F

.......

Then I bought myself a nail lacquer set that has base and top coat (trying to make the top coat into a matte top coat, but so far no success :P ) and a new lipstick which ended up being more pink that I thought it would be. 

But I can still use it, so no problems!

^ Fräulein3°8 base & top coat.

^ Heng Fang (?) Balm lipstick.

.......

Let's see.. Then I finally found myself new bras! And some cute slippers since my toes are always freezing. 

However, I ended up using the pictures from eBay, since I didn't get any good pictures myself. And trust me, I tried :D

^ Tadah! The top two bras I got both in black, the slippers in pink and the last bra in red/black.

Finally some bras with enough support!

Aren't the slippers just so CUTE?! ..I actually cut off their tails and gave them to our cats. Only one left :P

.......

So those were the items I've gotten in the past two or three weeks. 

What next?

Well, Mother's Day of course! In Finland it's celebrated on the 2nd. Sunday of May.

And I do my best to make every card myself, be it Christmas, birthdays, Mother's Days etc.

I made three cards today, but I managed to put one into an envelope before taking pictures, so I only have two to show.

^ 3d rose card I'm going to give my mother. The golden sticker says "To mother" in Finnish.

Rose has many layers of paper stuck together to make it rise from the card.

^ And this is one I'm going to send to my other Grandmother. In this card, the golden sticker says "To grandmother" in Finnish. 

I used a poppy stamp to make the flower, then slightly coloured it to give it some life.

.......

As you can probably see, I like to keep my cards quite simple. 

Anyway, That's all for today! I'd be doing my best to post at least once a week. Of course, if nothing happens I might not. However I do my best to keep myself busy, so I'll also have something to report about. :)

Have a great weekend everyone, and to those who'll be celebrating Mother's Day soon, don't forget to send your Mother a card if you can't visit them!

Byebye!♥
