New stuff!♥

Hello!
It's been a while. Again. Damn.

Not only have I been busy with work (still), but I've also been sick with flu. Ever since September, but last week it got so bad I had to take couple days off to get some rest. And I'm still not completely done with the flu. But I'm getting there, hopefully..

Anyway, I wanted to share some pics of couple new things I've gotten, and a sneak peak pic of my latest project.

^ My very first Kalevala jewellery! They're quite expensive (imo), but I got a giftcard to the store and I only ended up paying 9€ (they're 59€, if anyone is wondering). Going to add something to the backpiece, to make them stand out more, and fit the new bracelet below.

^ The bracelet I got from Bijou Brigitte. So I paid more from it than I usually do with my jewellery (since they're almost all from eBay..). Lovely black filigree bracelet 14,90€ I think.

And the earrings are from eBay, around 1£.

 

^ Sneak peak! They're wings. Lot's of them.

And I cut my hair! It used to be long enough to touch my boobs, but now it's just past my jawline. And now my hair looks and feels so much better.

.......

Mmmm, what else. I'll try posting again soon, the biggest problem is to find time and place to take pictures of the stuff I've had. It gets dark very early and with my crappy Lumia it's a miracle if I can get a decent pic..

Anyway. I'll start doing my make up so I won't be late from work.

And here's a couple of pics of things I've been making at work.

^ Dummy cake for  our store window and a 18th birthday cake.

^ Babyshower cake and a christening cake.

^ Winter Snow Castle cake closeup.

^ And the whole cake, made to feed 250 people. It was fun to make, but damn did it take time too.

.......

And that's all for today. I hope you all have a great week and try not to get sick!

New clothes!♥

I know it's not Sunday anymore. Yesterday I was sure it was still Saturday, and by the time I was going to bed I realized what day it actually was. I guess it's because I spent almost whole day crafting shoes for dolls. I was done by 0100am and very tired... Oh, I never mentioned that I've got a thing for dolls? ;D ♥

However I got to finish what I started and I'm quite proud of the tiny shoes I've made. I don't have any pictures now, but I might post about them at some point.

.......

Anyway, on with the new post!

As I've told you all, I was visiting my family in Nummela, and I brought back some new clothes.
I went shopping with my mother and since one clothing shop that sells clothes for fat women, we decided to go and check if there'd be anything for me.

And there was! I finally got myself some black capri pants!♥ 
No more hot summer days in long black jeans. Unfortunately I have no picture of those pants, but they're quite simple, fitted capris with few silver studs.

I also got myself two new, very light knitted shirts. They're great for all seasons, especially summer since they're very light, so it won't get too hot when wearing them. 
And yes I wear long sleeves in the summer since I get sunburnt so easily, and I hate using sunblock, especially because it's so thick and sticky, and I'd have to add it once every 30 minutes... 
And finally I have some other colours in my closet! And I've got couple pictures of those shirts.

^ The first one is quite long, and even thought here it looks like dark bright orange, it's more like bright coral. 

^ This one is shorter, sleeves too. Material is same in both shirts. And I love the dusky rose colour it has♥

.......

Next I have two dresses to show. I got these from my friend♥ She was selling them in a online auction, but knowing that she'd never get much from them, she thought it would be better to give them to someone who knows their worth. Plus I've always wanted to have 50's dresses, but never had the money or never found dresses with nice patterns and correct sizing.

And the reason my friend didn't keep them herself, was her huge boobs :D 

Too big for the dresses. So finally something good came out of my small tits. yay♥

Both are halter neck dresses and knee length.

^ First dress has pink peonies (and some other pink flowers etc..) on it. 

^ Close-up of the flowers, sweetheart neckline. This dress also has a belt made from same floral fabric.

^ Second dress has more tropical feel to it. Parrots, pineapples, hibiscus flowers and monstera leaves.

^ And very fancy neckline.

.......

I've also gotten something small for myself. I bought a beautiful chiffon shirt from eBay (it was less than 5€!). And to my surprise, the size was perfect, even thought I was feeling a bit doubtful. After all, I got it from china, so the size was, what, Chinese XXXL? Not sure. Thankfully they had centimetre measurements there, so I was quite hopeful. And it was just perfect for me, plus with such a low price (and even the quality is great!) I might even get another one.

I also got myself another jewellery "stand", or in this case, a hanger. Because the ones I've gotten from eBay are already full...

Anyway, some pictures!♥

^ My second white cloth in ten years! Love the chiffon fabric, it's very light, and it's not too translucent. Perfect for hot summer days.

^ Also liking the black lace very much, plus the "formality" of this shirt, meaning cuffs and collar. It is a pullover shirt (so the buttons are there just for the looks), and clearly it's made for people with very small heads and no glasses. I have to take off my glasses to be able to get this shirt on. And even my false eyelashes are in danger :P

^ And this baby I got from Tiger! I can hand earrings, necklaces and bracelets to it :3

.......

And last, but not least, is a souvenir from Nepal! 

As some of you may remember how I told about my dad and little brother hiking over there, conquering Himalayas :P

Dad got me two of them, one for me and one for my fiancé.

Made from yak fur (smells like animal!♥).

^ Picture is quite dark, even with all the possible lightings I could get...

.......

Unfortunately this is all the time I've got for now, I need to start getting ready to go out. A package is waiting for me at our local post office, can't wait!♥

Also, I'm quite busy this week, but I'll do my best to get that darn nail varnish post up, hopefully next weekend! I've only got to take couple new pictures and that should be it!

And off I go, see you!

Better view of my newest necklaces & Happy Mother's Day!

Tadah! 
It feels like I've been gone for weeks. I've been quite bored lately and haven't felt like actually doing something after making those Mother's Day cards, however I've managed to take many pictures of things I'm going to post about (some day).

There's going to be post about nail varnishes. And also one post that will probably cover everything about my skin-, hair- and nail care. Unless I get carried away. 

But today I'm going to show you my newest additions to my necklace "collection". Two I've already shown before, but I think you'll get a better view through these pictures. 
And I was actually lucky to have such a great weather outside, so I didn't have to use Photogram to make them look better.

^ 1. & 2. I've already shown you guys, but here you can see how they actually look on my neck, plus the colours on the flower ball are brighter.

3. necklace is a new one. The quality isn't the greatest, but I got it mainly for the reason that I might break it apart and use the flowers for something else :P

^ 4. this one I also got so that I could use it for something else. Mainly because it has so many chains and the cost was 0,99£ 

5. I've really come to like this one. At first I thought I'd use the chain for something else, but after I put it on, I decided to keep it as it is.

.......

And that was it! Well, not totally. I have to tell someone how much I've also come to like the gold & white flower earrings I got a while ago. And I actually managed to take somewhat good picture of myself wearing them, and also being able to show their size better.

^ Yay, freckles!♥

.......

But the best thing that happened in the past few days? My fiancé got himself a new HTC One, so it also means that I can finally get better pictures to show everyone! :D

I think that's all for today, I'll be going to bed soon, sooo...

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!

New game & eBay purchases!

Hello!

It's been raining for the past two days (weather report! whoo..), and pretty much all of the snow has melted away! 
And that means I can start wearing my heels again! Which also means that the next post is going to be about shoes!

But not this one. Nope. This is going to be about the "new" game I bought today. And eBay jewellery I got.

.......

But first the game! I got it from Gamestop for 10,90€ (1€ for one year guarantee), because it was used. And the game is.....

Yay! Alice: Madness Returns!
I can't wait to play it. It's very pretty and dark, so perfect for me. And since I got it so cheap, I don't mind if it sucks :P

.......

And now for the jewellery!

As I have told before, I've only recently gotten into wearing golden jewellery, and I didn't really have any, so I decided to get some from eBay, since it would be cheap and easy way to get them. And get something that you won't see everyone wearing.

I tried my best to choose the best filtering for the pictures, so that the colours would stand out better... But.. yah.. You tell me.. I think these pics look like crap :P

^ Here is golden/white flower earrings and a long golden pendant with floral ball. The ball has three different colours in it; pink, pastel green and pastel purple.

^ This one is more... "not-that-cute". :P

I dunno how I should describe it. More "mature" than all the flower stuff I have? :D

^ And these two are brooches. Black/white and pink/white. The black/white isn't all round, it had some trouble surviving the trip from china. But oh well. It wasn't that expensive, and it's not broken, so I can still wear it.

And they can be worn as rings too! ..And maybe even hair accessories if I added some bangles or clips to them..

.......

So that's it for the eBay stuff. 

I have work tomorrow, so I'll probably get to make the next post on Sunday, or next week. We'll see.

Here's a picture of what I just made in a hurry (hence the crappyness of these... things..)

Yup. 50/50 of baby blue marzipan and white sugarpaste, made into small figurines and such.

^ Teddy bear, Angry Birds pig.., mermaid/fairy, Hello Kitty, "flower/mushroom", small racing car.. And a Hattifattener (the odd thing in the middle..)! :D <3

.......

I've also had some problems with my left eye.. It's been watering for the past two weeks now, and it's getting really annoying. And it's messing up my makeup..

Maybe it's an infection or something, even thought my eye isn't red or sore.. Or anything. 

It just waters. Thought last week I did have almost constant myokymia on it.

Well, I think I'll wait another week, and if it still hasn't gone away, I'll go see a doctor. 

I don't like having to wipe away tears all the time.

Latest project and new bracelets.

It has been a busy week once again. 

I haven't gotten a chance to post earlier, and on Monday I went on a trip to visit my mother. So here I am, in Nummela, Finland. Still snow everywhere but spring is trying it's best. I'll be staying here till Friday, and then it's back to Tampere.

I haven't been here in two years. It's amazing how fast time goes by. So much has changed in here.
I also got a chance to meet my best friend and check out her apartment (I want it!). And trying to go and see my grandma tonight. And tomorrow it's my old school, going to go and say HI! to my old teachers.

So, anyway. I had a little jewellery project last Sunday, and today I finally had the time to take pictures. 
I didn't even have internet connection until yesterday evening. My mother couldn't remember the password, and my brother is on a trip with my dad (Climbing to Himalayas! Check out Rhododendron Forest at Nepal . Amazing! ). But finally my mother got a text message from my brother, telling where they were at the moment (Tengboche Monastery) and also the password for the wireless connection.

.......

But, that's that for now, let's move on to the pictures of my jewellery project!
I had this very pretty long necklace that had a big filigree ball with a pearl inside it. But I wanted to make it stand out more. And I also wanted something to fit it. 

So I bought four filigree golden leaves from eBay, and made them into earrings, pendant and a ring. I also added some pearls to the chain, and glued a flatback pearl to the ring.

^ And here they are! You can see the filigree ball in the first picture, that was the only thing in the original necklace (plus the chain of course). Personally I think they came out nice. I like how the pearls go with the golden leaves. 

.......

And here are the new bracelets I got! I also have silver coloured zipper bracelet, but I left it at home. They're quite hard to get on my arms sometimes, but usually with brute force and some swear words I get them on. Taking them off is another story... 

But yeah! I really like these, and they were quite cheap too. Zipper bracelets were 0,99 British pounds (1,20€), the middle bangle was a bit more, 2,something Brithis pounds, and the braided one was also 0,99 British pounds. So not bad, if you ask me.

^ Bling Bling!

.......

And that's it! I'll be posting more soon, I just got a call from my friend, and we'll be going to Helsinki for a while. Hanging around, maybe shopping something for her (because I have no extra money atm... so nothing for me :P  ), and yeah. Going to check out one cupcake shop there!

Byebye!♥
