I haven't been able to update recently because I moved and had to live without an internet connections for almost a month.
I also went on a very fun 10 day trip to Ireland with my Boyfriend right before we moved to our new apartment (Yep we are living together now ^_____^ <3 )
It has been a very hectic time, and it still is. We are still working on creating a nice place to live. It is awesome already, A beautiful 7 stores up three room apartment. You should see the sunsets from up here, our balcony is facing the north Sea where the sun sets over, its lovely.
I have already set up a little sewing area for myself in the spare room which we call the green room (just because we painted the walls a minty green colour ^__^)
So now that I have an internet connection I hope I can get more active on this blog again. And also on my sales blog. I can't take any commissions yet, because I still have a small waiting list with costumers.
A few weeks ago, I went to Castlefest, which is an anual Dutch Fantasy festival. It was great, I met up with some very good friends of mine.
Here are some pictures of me together with Charlie Chaplin ^___^
Isn't he awesome!!!! He is a great and very skilled actor called Cela. He is sooo very sweet, and he always looks awesome on this kind of events. He actually really takes on the character of Charlie Chaplin!
Hmm alright, diner time now.
I hope to make an somewhat bigger update soon ^__^
Last week I went on a bit of an adventure with my Boyfriend and a friend of his. This friend is a member of an official licensed shooting club. He invited us for a introduction day. It was a lot of fun, though I still think shooting is scary. It was completely save though, and fun to try out some time. My BF took some pictures of me, since I was wearing Sweet Loli, it made a nice contrast with the rest of the place XD.
I was doubting about posting pictures, because it could be intimidating for some, but I shopped the picture with a cutesy pink heart, so I think it should be okay.
Remember that this picture was taken in a licensed club, under the supervision of professionals.
It was so much fun, haha, the owners of the club were very nice, and complimented me on my outfit.
I finally got to do some spring shopping last week.
Here is the result, I still need to find some more cute skirts that I can wear at work though:
Maxi skirt from Pimkies
Some cute t-shirts, two from C&A and the cake one is also from Pimkies
Some nail art stickers ^^
I also had my nails done this morning:
I can never do anything to elaborate because of work, but I still like it ^^.
My car,
Yeah, I almost bought a new one, not second had, completely new. Why? Because the one I have now exploded two weeks ago. It was scary, I parked my car, turned it off, I wanted to call the garage, because the car's temperature was waaaay to high. After I turned it off, it just went BOOM. There was so much smoke coming from te front, and lots of water was flowing away from under my car.
Luckily it looked more serious then it was. The garage could fix it, so I didn't need to buy a new one.
But I am pretty pissed off at the people that sold this car to me last year. A month after I bought it, I went back to them, because I thought the temperature was getting to high, they told me back then that it was all okay. As long as the temperature didn't go into the red zone, it was fine.
The ANWB (dutch emergency service) told me that what those guys told me was utter bullshit, and they should have fixed it back then. It would have saved me about 300 Euro, Grrrrrr. But I can't do anything about it now unfortunately.
I am glad I got my car back though, and that the problem is fixed.
Today was a very fun day. It was my birthday, I am 24 now. I felt old, until the lady at the jewelers shop treated me like I was 17 (she was very nice though).
Today I decided to wear my 50's style cherry dress, it is a summer dress, but it was warm enough with a bolero.
I got some very nice gifts from my Boyfriend and family
I went to Gent in Belgium with Him this weekend, and he kept giving me presents ^^, that was so very sweeeet ^___^
He gave me loooooots of chocolates, which are almost all gone by now XD
And also these two books:
A comic book, very good book, beautiful art. And a travel guide to Japan, because we are planning to go there in 2013. I know that is a long time, but there are sooo many things we want to do.
He also gave me this adorable card. I cut the message of, because that is private -__^
My parents gave me this beautiful Pandora charm bracelet
My sister gave me this cute and funny cake set
And my brother and my sister boyfriend gave me new tires for my bike, I haven't used it in ages, but with the upcoming summer I wanted to use it again. But it needed new tires.
In the afternoon my grandparents came to visit me ^^, it was nice to see them again, I don't see them often.
It was a great day today, even the weather was awesome ^___^
I am still working on my new site, later today I should have some more stuff up. Since I have some extra time tonight I am planning on uploading as much as I can.
I am also working on a new commission. 4 jaquets for a Salsa dance club. It is not a very difficult thing to do, but it will take some time. I hope to finish that at the beginning of April. Then I have a few more commissions, and after that, I will open up my service again, or finally sew something for myself XD.
I am looking forward to the summer so much, I can't wait for a little warmer weather. Even though we had some very nice weather for the past few days but it is still very cold outside.
I want to buy summer clothes, I already did buy an adorable 50's style dress. I am waiting for the package to arrive. They shipped it today, so it should come in tomorrow. Which means I will not be able to see it until Sunday because I will stay at my Boyfriends place for the rest of the week. (Offcourse I don't mind that teehee, the dress can wait XD )
Last friday I went to the beach, there was a lot of wind. I love the wind, its so much fun when it blows through my hair ^^ Here is a picture, as you can see it was difficult to pose in the wind XD
And some more:
This one was taken in Rotterdam, on a sqaure with a lot of wigwam like cones made out of lights. They were very pretty ^^
Some time ago I went to a Japanese dance night called Deshima Sound in Den Haag together with my friend Linda. It was great, we danced a lot, and there were a lot of very nice people.
This is what I wore that night
I am sorry about neglecting my blog for some time! Welcome to my new readers ^^
I have been so very busy with sewing, work and lots of other fun things. I had to sew a lot for an event where I had a booth. The event was sooo much fun. There were so many wonderfull and beautifull people there.
I sold some pieces of clothing, which is always a great feeling. My friend Kimmy helped me in the booth, and she made a lovely little video of it. Please take a look, it is a tour through my booth, please enjoy
Today I found some funny template somewhere on the internet. There are 4 plain "dolls" with an age under each of them, age 10, 13, 16 and current self. And you are supposed to draw your clothing style for every age.
So I did it for fun, and here is the result XD
These realy were my styles when I was young, I actually still like the style I had when I was sixteen. I used to braid long black and pink curly hairextension into my own hair. It took me six hours to braid and hurted like hell, but it looked awesome ^^.
But I really love the Lolita style I wear a lot now.
