A Selection of Randomness :)
Very very very cool shirt I'm not sure whether I should sell it or not??
I just really liked this pictue it's from the trade me shoot.
My sketch of my ball dress in the making... I quite like the face I drew, not that it looks like me but its nice anyway!
Tartan skirt I got from Mr Bo jumbles and shortened worn with evil evil toe hurting shoes! and a rather awkward face...
Sewing Again!
What I'm Wearing:
Leather weaved shoes: Pukekohe Opshop $1:50
Necklace: Piece of tree trunk Waiuku Op shop $0.30
T-shirt: Threadless $17
Skirt: Made by me!
Headscarf: Waiuku Opshop $0.50
Watch: Trade me $27
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.

Sundae bowl I keep stuff in $2 shop, Iron man? figurine I won in a crane game he he, glass pendant present from mum from Aussie
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 :)
Holiday+Boredom = lots of interesting crafts
Fimo flower and fimo gem ring
fimo apple clock necklace
fimo stamp necklaces
fimo ring pendant
cardboard clutch
I refound my love for fimo as you can see. I will most definitely use all these (apart from the clutch) as they are super cool! My favourite item is the apple clock necklace (the clock face is from an old watch). The silver and blue thing is a cardboard clutch which is only usable in the summer hehe but i will probably never use it because I don't like using clutches because if I have to hold something I have the tendency to leave on any flat surface I come upon. I made the clutch out of cardboard covered with wallpaper it was going to be wallpaper on the inside, cardboard on the outside but it was too boring. I really like the button on the front which is a self cover button with the wallpaper on it , I was very happy when it worked as it was a gamble. The stamp necklaces i made by stamping fimo with my new stamps I got from mr bojumbles very easy and very nice. I also reaaaaly like the fimo gem spikey ring as it reminds me of dinosaurs and the colours are so impacting and its just so spunky! hehe I like the word spunky. The fimo pendants without chains I made by wrapping a blob of fimo in two other colours, and then denting it with my weapon of choice, then carving away the outside layer to reveal the super patterns inside! Hope you enjoy my creations and they inspire you :)

From Laura
What I'm wearing:
Top: From Laura
Skirt: From Laura
Shoes: The Warehouse $10 on sale
Heart Bag: Farmers $20 on sale
Hat: local opshop
Belt: local opshop
I was at my friend Laura's house (her blog http://shadowfeetlaura.blogspot.com/ ) she was clearing out her closet and I picked up these goodies. The skirt she altered in sewing class last year from a giant heinous one, oh and she added the red buttons that just make the skirt go POW! and the top she made aaaages ago it has a really nice pattern on the material. I love it when someone looks in your closet and
makes an outfit out of stuff you dont even consider wearing anymore because its old so all the excitement from it has gone. The hat is a recent purchase I got it from the local opshop for $1 or it may have been $2 it's a really really light pink looks cream until you look close and its furry! So thank you Laura for your kindness! you will be repayed with a brown dress with frills and flowers??
