Wicked, tatting and randomnes

Hello Guys ^___^
Pff I have been busy, I am going to stop saying that I will update here more often, because I can't keep that promise anyway XD, So I will update every now and then.
Last Sunday I went to see the Dutch version of Wicked. I saw it about three years ago in London. I loved it!I was a bit worried about the Dutch version, I was afraid they would make a very bad translation, but I was surprised. It was very good actually.Afterwards, my Boyfriend bought me a t-shirt ^__^ I love it, it's cute, the image is sewn onto the t-shirt which gives it a bit of a 3D look.

This was my outfit. I choose to wear a bit casual and warm Lolita outfit. The show was in Scheveningen, which is pretty much right next to the beach, and it was cold when we left the theater. We even went to see the sea late at night ^___^Breakdown: Skirt: Angelic PrettySocks: Secret ShopBlouse: Handmade by meShoes: Bodyline

I have also done some more tatting. I am still learning. I wanted to make something I could "use". I always just make doilies or try-out thingies. So I made a bracelet with beads. The original pattern is for a choker. But I can use a bracelet more often.

I am very happy with the result, though it's not perfect, I think I am getting better ^___^.



Teehee me and my Boyfriend at a gothic and fantasy event during the Halloween weekend  ^__^

We are living together now, and we got our very first Christmas tree XD. I am soooo happy with it, but my christmas ornament collection is not so big yet, so the tree isn't very full. I still think it's cute though. I love the color combination, red and silver, it matches with the curtains ^^
Here is a view from the window of my apartment. They are building a garden in front of our flat. I saw the drawing of it, and I hope the garden will become as beautiful as the drawings. I can't wait for it to be finished ^^

Alright, that was it for now. Ow just one more thing, I want this fridge as a finishing touch (no really) for my house XD

Tatting

Hello All!
Did anyone here ever heard of tatting? I never heard of it until a few months ago. I am looking for techniques to make lace, I already know crochet, and in searching for other techniques, I came across tatting. It's so beautiful, I like it a lot more then crochet.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tatting Just take a look.
So, I started collecting some materials and books to start. I found a nice book with very clear instructions on how to start tatting. So I am practicing on it now. I do it everywhere, even on the train to work and during my lunch break ^__^
For tatting you need a tatting shuttle. Most of these shuttles that you can buy in a craft supply store are kind of ugly and boring. I started looking for a really cute one. On Etsy I came across a seller that sold very beautiful painted shuttles.http://www.etsy.com/people/emsyjaneShe has a collection with different designs, all are equally cute. I bought a pink one with roses.I love it so much, It is very easy to work with to. I  have a few other shuttles, but they are a lot bigger, and this one is small and smooth, I keep choosing this one to work with XD.
^__^ In my "learn how to tat" book there is a practicing pattern of a little butterfly. I like the pattern so much that I keep making butterflies. I made a lot already. Here I am working on a chain of butterflies ^__^
A few days ago, I visited Amsterdam, and found a craft shop there. Inside I found some shuttles, and I was really surprised because I couldn't find them in any other craft shop. So I got very enthusiastic about them, and the shop lady told me she had some books on tatting as well. She showed them to me, and I picked two of them. I am so going to visit this shop again to buy some more books.But for now, I only have these two ^^
Hmm well that's about it for now. I think I will continue on my butterfly chain now ^^
Just one more picture thoughMy tiny tiny threat collection. I need some more, but for now, this will do ^^

Helloooooo

Long time no see ^^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 ^__^

Just a small update in a busy time

Hello Ladies and Gentlemen
I really really wish I could update my blog more often, but I often don't know what to write, or I am very busy. But every now and then I will update ^^.Today I want to show you all the result of the Butterfly JSK that I was working on a few weeks ago.I wore it at a party last week, it was a lot of fun. My Boyfriend took a picture of me before we went there.

Lol weird pose XD. I am quite pleased with the result of the JSK. I especially like the embroidery on the bodice, but that is because I am a major sucker for embroidery XD.I am wearing it with a bodyline blouse and very very old Baby the stars shine bright socks. 
Well, that was all I had to say for now ^^.My next post will be more elaborate, I will show my newest Lolita purchases. I wish I could do it now, but they are all packed in a suitcase, and I didn't have time to take pictures of them yet.
Byebye ^^
