Collar Me

I love afternoon projects.

I made a couple of detachable collars.

I got the pattern from The Owls Aren't What They Seem, they are simple and quick and they spruce up any outfit :3


I also sewed a new pencil case for college aswell :)

Strawberries!

How do you like to spend your afternoons?

Panda Kigu :)

Just a small post to show off my Panda Kigu :)

I bought it off Taobao :)

It's very, very comfy ^^ I wanted to get it for Paris, but the shipping was late so I borrowed Fran's (this post)

I've been using my GLB stickers aswell :) I still need to scan them ^^;

I still need to use up my fabric stash, before I buy more fabric :(

I've been testing out my machine embroidery skills aswell; I can't do circles T^T

What animal would you be?
I would be a panda, I'd be fat and cuddly, but everyone would still think I'm cute XD Plus I only need to sleep and eat :)

New Frills :3

A nice afternoon project from Marlena at Self Constructed Freak

I recently got the shirt from Mr Nice Guy and he wanted me to redesign it :)

HIM + frilly = EPIC

Before and After
The shirt looks like it has wings ^^ I love it and the tutorial is really simple to follow!

I'm very happy with the results.
Thanks Marlena!


I also used Charlotte's yarn to make a couple of usamimis aswell :)

Travel tickets from this summer.
I'm trying to cram in more traveling and craftyness too XD
I hope you like the shirt and post :) I'm feeling quite crafty and arty ^_^

Where's Naka?

Sorry for my absence again :(

I got my hair chopped off, and I love it :) My excema is really bad atm which hasn't put me in the blogging mood and was the main reason I wanted to get my hair cut.

I've been sewing commisions.

I was so happy when I saw Emma wearing her skirt :)

I knitted my first pull over aswell. I used this free tutorial from Project Hallway to make it :) I choose a Where's Wally theme :)

I made the small size version, however I think I'll lengthen the bodice by 5-10 more rows since you can see my bra strap at the back and I lift my arm or I flash ^^;


More stuff about my life
I failed physics (A,D,E) (but remember this post)and 2nd year math (D,E)
I plan to study German at Uni
I only got an overall B in German T^T (B,A)
I'm going to see RISE AGAINST!?!?!
I can't wait for my 2nd and last year of college XD

Polka Dots and Skulls

Sometimes instead of a title I would to like to have an awesome guitar riff in place XD
My favourite patterns :)

I knitted matching wristbands for me and Mr Nice Guy ^_^;
Knitting and commissions have been keeping me busy. I'm really happy people actually want to wear my handcrafted items ^^

Lilac Bloomers with pockets :)

I went to two Lolita meets in a row aswell :)

It was nice seeing the local Lolitas and having some nice tea ^^

Being a stereotypical UK teenager has been keeping me busy aswell XD

What were you doing when you were 17?

Lolita Birthday Masquerade Picnic

Sory I haven't posted in a while :(

I went to Leeds for an amazing meet!

The meet was pretty small so it was nice and cosy, and plenty of food for everyone ^________^

Since it was a 4 hour round trip, I did some knitting on the train ^^ I wore contacts to and at the meet and took them out on the train back so I could sleep XD

The weather changed alot from being cold and wet to sunny and warm!

Hannah looked really cute in her Disney poncho though ^^

We found a nice alcove to take photos and I was promoted to official 'get downerer'. I don't know how they survived in their heels!

The scenery was beautiful and we later went to a musuem, where we coloured in and explored :3

colouring in cupcakes

My hair is a bit messy from sleeping on the way back ^^;
My outfit: Skirt: Angelic Pretty, Shirt: Moi Meme Moitie, Hair Ties : handmade, Socks: Primark, Shoes & Bag: Offbrand, Wristscuffs:Baby the Stars Shine Bright

Thanks for inviting me Lolitas of Leeds!

What do you normally do on trains?
I sleep,read or knit ^^

BTSSB and Lolitas in Paris!

I visited Baby The Stars Shine Bright in Paris aswell!

It was closed the first time we went, but ohwell.

The shop was very neat and cute! Alot of things were on sale, but I couldn't find anything I really loved, and when I did it didn't sit right on me, which annoyed me alot :(

It was alot bigger than Boddywood, but I preferred Boddywood ^^;

On the way to BSSB
I realised I haven't posted many of the photos from Paris, sorry for the wait.
Outside the Lolita Convention :)

The very lucky me ^^

I really want to use this photo as a postcard XD
