First day of Spring!!!! And 1 year blog anniversary ^^

Hello,

I have updated my new website with a lot of new items! Please have a look www.petit-angel.nl

Today is officially the first day of spring in my country. The weather outside is lovely, the sun is shining, it is still a little bit cold though, but I am sure it will get warmer soon.I hope everybody is enjoying the sunshine today!

I wish I could go outside, to the park or something, but I have to work :-(. Ow well, I did go to the beach yesterday, so I shouldn't complain.

Also, last Saturday was the 1st anniversary of this blog, yaaay, one year has past already, it went by so fast 0.0 I am so happy that all of you started following my blog. Thank you all ^^I hope I can do another year of blogging.
Next week is my birthday, I am gonna be 24 already. I know I shouldn't say this, but I feel kinda old XD. Aw well, Party time!!!!


New stuff!
I bought myself some new things.For the summer, this cute 50's style dress
I bought it at www.topvintage.nlThat site has a pretty big collection of 50's style clothing, not second hand, all new, also shoes and accessories, all for very decent prices. If you are interested in this style, you should take a look at their webshop. They did win the Dutch home shopping awards a few weeks ago to.The dress has a wonderful fit, but it is a tad to long, so I have to make the skirt a bit shorter. But besides that, it's perfect.

I also purchased this cute weekend-bag:Cute right ^^, It was on sale at the drug store.I will use it when I go on short trips. 
Last week I finished a vest for my Boyfriend. It was quite a project. The pockets for example are rather difficult to make, but I am very satisfied with the results
The fit was very nice for Him. And He looks very good in it hihi * --_^* 


So that is it all for now, time for work.

So cute!!!!

Hello again ^^
I just found the most adorable Tumblr blog ever!Look at it, so cute http://pusheen.tumblr.com/Isn't that just waaaay to cute ^__^

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 )

Ready for summer now ^^

Hello, And welcome to my new readers!!
 I FINALLY bought myself a bikini. I have been looking at a certain bikini for a few years now, but I just found it to expensive. It was a sweet print bikini by Metamorphose that was sold in Mfashion shop (Lolita shop in my country). So I kept looking for something similar to that bikini, but I never found anything. When I visited the Mfashion website about two weeks ago, I saw that the bikini was on sale with 60% off, so I decided that if it was my size, I would buy it. It turned out that it was my size, and Mfashion is selling some clothing that I made, and the shop owner told me she just sold a dress, and she could keep the money for the dress and give me a huge discount. To me, that was great, I paid almost nothing for the bikini, and it doesn't really matter to me if I get the money for the sold dress or not. ( my sewing is just a hobby, I don't make a living out of it at all) So this summer I can finally go swimming ^__^



I also bought this beautiful fabric on Etsy. I want to use it to sew something for myself. I never sew anything for myself, but I love this fabric so much, that I don't want to make something out of it and then sell it. I wont have time to do anything with it for now, but when I am not so busy anymore, I will start on it. Off course I will post the results here ^^



The seller was very friendly, she even included a small personal handwritten note in the package. That is something I always really appreciate.
Here is a link to the Etsy seller, please check her out, she has some really nice things to sell: ThisandThatFromJapan



The big commission for a band called Tornado I have been working on is finally finished. I will post pictures of the outfits later. They are going to Finland now for photo shoots, and they will send me some of the pictures. I can't wait to see them ^^

That's it for now, time to go to work.

Just a quick note

Hello Guys!!

I have been totally neglecting my blog lately. I am preparing to make a pretty huge post about my trip with my Boyfriend to Spain. I went there for a week at the end of January.
If you would like to, you can check out His Flickr account to see some of the beautiful pictures he took during our trip. There are also a few pictures of me on there ^^. You can find his account here Otkuda
Here is one picture He took of me when we visited the Alhambra. (I will post some more in my report about the trip in my next post)



I have also been very busy with sewing again. I am working on a pretty big project for a band. It's a pretty new band called Tornado, and they commissioned two stage outfits from me. Not Lolita, not at all even hihi, The outfits are kind of 80's glamrock band inspired. It is quit a challenge to sew this, the fabrics are very difficult to work with, but they are coming along nicely.

Hmm that was a short update, but since it is late at night, I will leave it at this.

Have a great week everyone!!

Commission and some other stuff

This month I made a commission for someone. It was a skirt I made before. My costumer saw it at my booth during the last Gothic convention. I did not have it in her size, so I remade it for her.

I was so glad that I had some of this fabric left. I couldn't buy it from my suppliers anymore.



I got myself a new cellphone cover. I am way to busy *lazy* to Deco my cellphone myself, so I bought a sticker from this cute Etsy seller. Link:

Mimi Lolo on Etsy.

Cute right? ^^

Aaah I have absolutly no idea what to wear for Christmas, I couldn't find anything cute while shopping. I suppose I just have to figure something out with the clothes that I have -_-;;

Have a Very Merry Christmas Everyone!!!!

(Such a pretty picture ^^ )

Another Scrapblog and other stuff

I really love this site, I am not very good at scrapbooking yet (not at all XD) But it is just a fun thing to do when I am bored.
This time I made a scrapblog with pictures from my older handmade Lolita collections. I tried to make a different theme for each page (gothic, classic sweet etc)



Paris
Just one more week, and then I start packing my suitcase and go on a five day shopping/ sightseeing trip to Paris. I leave on Wednesday, but I start packing somewhere on tuesday night.
I visit Paris for the second time, this time together with my friend Kim. We already planned out the whole trip. WE leave wednesday morning with the Thalys train, and when we arrive we go to the Baby shop and to the AP shop. (We are not sure yet what to expect of the AP shop, because the real opening is a few days later, but we might go to the opening party, if we have enough time)
We stay in a very simple old hotel, but it is a good hotel, Kim's relatives have been to the same hotel last May, and they realy enjoyed their stay there.
Besides spending this months paycheck on Lolita, we will also go on sightseeing trips. There is one day planned to Versailles, also a day where we will visit all those must-see places of Paris (very cliché, but a lot of fun XD )
I wish I could make daily updates here with pictures and everything about the trip, but I don't have an internet connection there, and even if I had, my laptop is old and slow, and photoshop doesn't work on it.
But when I return I will write a full report with pictures here.

Commissions
I have been working on a few commissions again.
This one is finished and received by the buyer

It is a replica fof a F+F skirt, but I am not sure if it was done by another brand as well.

And I am working on this one

But it is not at all finished yet, because I have to edit a few things about it.

To finish this entry, I post a picture of my cat, isn't he adorable?

Poor thing was attacked by seaghouls this morning, he was so scared. I heard all this noise early in the morning ouside my bedroom window, and I saw my cat pressed against the wall, and these stupid birds flying around him. I scared them away, and let my cat inside the house. (he always spends the nights outside)He was a little scared still, whit a big fat angry cat tail, but he calmed down as soon as he got his breakfast XD

Okay that's enough now, I am tired to XD
Byebye for now ^^
