I know this is a strange photo, but I kinda like it. These two pigeons were resting on a plant on my balcony and I felt like taking a pic xD

Choose your own theme in a Ziplock

Swap sharing 8D

"This swap will be a bit different because... YOU pick the theme of the BAGGIE you will receive.
For this swap, you will list 5 themes you offer to send.. Once partners are assigned, you will come back to this main page, pick which baggie theme you would like to receive from the list your partner has made and send them a message to let them know which one to send."

I chose the "Buttons and Trim baggie" that my partner offered:

Vacation!!

Finally I'm on vacation!! Yes!! 8D
This year has been so.. uhm.. unusual! I needed some rest.
I'm trying to organize my time in order not to wait it and arrive at the end of summer without doing what I wanted (I know it's going to happe anyway >_> )
Days ago I read this article about "Organizing project and inspiration using Pinterest" on Craftzine and I found it a very smart idea, so I requested an invitaion and started to pin all the project I've in mind. You can take a look at my boards clicking the button:



Since I've some free time I actually managed to make some decent shopping! Sales bagan just the week of my last exam, so I had hard times to force myself on the books and not go out, spending all my money. I did it this week end though xD

Aaah I saw this Fifi lapin t-shirt this spring and I'd not buy it cause it was too expensive, I'm so happy with it :D

Nights ago wondering on YouTube I made the best of the discoveries!! Oks, maybe I'm overreacting but for an asian freak like me it's such a nice thing *sighs dreamily*
I stumbled upon this chanel called "Cooking with dog"

A channel full of video recipes about how to make Japanes dishes. The more I watched the more I wanted to try every recipes *__* I'm waiting for a friend to go to the Chinese grocery shop to make some shopping. Last time I went I also got some stuff to make sushi (soy sauce, sushi mat and nori seaweed). I can't wait to try *is all ahppeh*

And, to conclude this long useles post, a little crafty update: I finished my pyjamas made from bad sheets. I also used it, it's comfy :D And I embroidered a little panda on the shirt *is very proud of it*

Ok, this is all people! Till next time *waves*

Random post

"Hey everyone! How's been your week?
Mine was pretty boring, I'm studying for the last exam (13th July) and I did nothing funny. I saw my friends only once but other than that I just nerd-ed a lot.

I joined a swap called "Not Quite Normal Penpals Returns": "you will write to one partner a basic introduction letter with one simple twist- in this letter, you will introduce your "bad" side. Whatever it is about you that you think other people don't always approve of.."
It seemed quite interesting and I think this'll be a long letter xD Maybe I'd share some passages here if it doesn't come out too weird!

What else.. hum.. I'm still looking for a nice haircut since my hair is growing pretty quickly and they don't have a decent shape anymore. I downloaded some Japanese magazine about hairstyles and hair care and I "flipped through" them to look for ideas. This is my top 3:

Not bad, huh? :D

I still have lots of crafty projects on my to-do list (it's growing longer and longer!) and I'm looking forward the end of the summer session to dedicate my full attentions to it. I do craft a bit after dinner, but I can make just small projects. Probably I'd also be able to attend "sewing classes" next month and I really can't wait, I've so many ideas bubbling in my head.. I just hope that I won't forget them.

What are you girls going to do tonight? Anything funny?
I just decided with my friends to eat Kebab tonight.. mmh yummy, I've not eaten it in a while!

Have a great week end everyone!

Hope you don't mind if I share a bit of my week

"Hi girls!
As said in the title I hope you don't mind if I share few recent things with you. It's been a strange week, few things happened that had different effects on me.. be patient with my ramblings, please!

First of all I did an exam on Thursday, it was about marketing, that's one of my favourite subjects.
I had to do this test with the silliest of the methods: the teacher dictated to us the first question and we had 20 minutes to answer, then she'd dictate the second and give us 20 minutes to answer and then the third and after 20 minutes we had to hand our test in. Crazy! Also because they are very generic question, like "discuss the packaging theme" (.. err WTH!!) and at the end you don't even have the time to re-read what you wrote.
Anyway I did it and after my 20 minutes ride by train to go back home I met with a friend to make some grocery shopping. We both love Asian food, so, since she works close to my place, we met once a week to have lunch together. Look :D

There are ramen packages, Ravioli, spring rolls and chips. Yum!!

The following day then I had a very nice surprise: my mum works in a school that has fashion classes and they're doing stocktaking. Apparently they had to threw away stuff that is in very good condition, so she brought me a tailor's dummy.. aaah I'm so happy!! She brought me some books too that teachers use during classes and they're simply amazing, all those fascinating drawings of dresses and clothes.. I'd take some pictures to show you. I can barely hide the excitement!

Oh I need a name for this lady now, any suggestions?

It's like a source of inspiration, like I need to use it! I already have few ideas: a summer pyjamas from old bad sheets, a lace vest and few reconstruction.. I'll post some pics when I'm done and I really can't wait to get to work! Also because.. I was about to spend some money on a website to buy me few summer things, but the shipping costs were too much and I decided that I'd try to make them myself. Mh! I think I'm putting myself into something too big for me, but I'll try anyway!"

Also, random info, I'm working on my commission page, it'll be ready soon :D

This is a commission a friend made. I hope he'll like it more than I do xD Probably I hate it just because I spent hours on it..
How is it anyway? :D
