My mother started sewing my ball dress yesterday and she reckons she might be finished today! I'm very excited that just leaves me to attach my twirlie's to add some oomph! he he so I love sewing and haven't sewn anything in a long time and the sight of her sitting there sewing away was making me so inspired! So at 9:43 precisely I started making a skirt! I worked away into the hours of the night (slight exaggeration) and then arose this morning with the sun and finished it off! so in a couple of hours I made one of my most complex garments! and with no help! Its definitely a big step up from the numerous elasticated skirts i have resorted to making out of sheer laziness. Oh and I got the fabric form Mr Bo jumbles too so the skirt was practically free! I just discovered spell check he he.

I love orange.... not the fruit ( I only like orange the fruit) I love the colour or more specifically the colour on stuff! Why? because it makes it pop! it turns an otherwise rather ordinary object to an object with outta this world coolness! I never really liked the thought of orange clothing, always thought it was too much until I found this cardigan.... I got it from Mr Bo jumbles for $0.50 BARGAIN! The first time I wore it I got these horrible little orange balls of fluff rubbing off under the arms and it left orange fluff all over my black dress, I was so disappointed but I wore it again and to my enjoyment the fluff was less and the fluffy balls less. So in theory the more you wear it the less fluff?? or it is just slowly fluffing away until all that remains is the label....hope not. I wore this outfit to the dentist today for a checkup and it turned out to be the best day in a long while I need nothing done on my teeth!! I'm very happy and they gave me a free movie ticket woop woop! and then me and my mum went and did a little shopping at the op shops in puke where i picked up a few awesome things, and then she bought me some new school shoes because my others were falling apart literally! and they are very cute oxfords I will wear them out of school too he he. The other things in the photos are all the orange things in my room that I love, my new orange trunk I got from the op shop for $2.50 yay! and those awesome shoes you see I got those off trade me for $10.50 I really like then and they are actually my size which is a nice change :)

floral dr martens!!!!

I have been dreaming about myself owning some floral dr martens for some time now and kinda thought it was a dream I would never forfill with floral goodness so imagine my complete and utter happiness when i stumbled upon the very same dr martens I have dreamt of owning and then realising that I could hold them and wear them on my ugly foot for only $67 so as you can imagine there was no hesitation in myself pressing the buy now button the only hesitation I had was in transferring the funds from savings to spending hehe but it will all be okay when they arrive in the mail and make my average life one of way over average awesomenes!!!!!!!!

Parcels of Goodness

sounds like im talking about food or maybe thats just my overactive food mind talking but no im talking about my trademe purchases finally arriving yess!! it felt like early christmas! and three parcels in one day super yess!!! i recieved my round sunglasses which are rather odd but i will wear them anyway not wasting $10 geez they sit kinda flat but anyway me and my sisters all tried them on and apparently they look the best on me so thats a good start and they are round so that equals instant awesome. I also recieved the drama head brooch, but the size which I either never read or it was never said is tiny which is a good thing in some cases but it was a suprise anyway (im wearing it now) and last but definitely not least my figurines arrived and they are perfect they are not too big not too small just perfect and they are so colourful and unique and intricate well as intricate as a piece of plastic can be anyway and they are going to be necklaces and brooches and not sure what else but I will be wearing them every time I go out from now on! two more parcels to arrive oooh cant wait!

what I did today

material

pierrot dolls imagine theri little heads as a brooch ooh coolness

mask brooch

all the figurines but i only bought the cool ones though

I went onto trademe and spent mostly all the money i made from selling my clothes on odd bits and pieces including a drama mask brooch and 7 plastic toy figurines to make into the awesomest brooches and recently i have bought two pierrot dolls which i really regret buying becasue they are ugly i might rip their heads off to make into brooches (evil laugh) (notice the millions of brooches i will soon have) and i bought some material which is super cool its aztec and i got 3.8 m so either it will turn into some curtains or a whole new set of clothes ooh cant wait!
oh yeah and i started this blog.....
