just a heads up.

Posted: June 23, 2009 in news & previews

not only am i going to graspop this weekend (*SQUEE*), something unexpected & very, very important came up that needs my full attention.

so, i won’t be posting anything new for a while. i’m sure you’ll miss me :p but i will TRY to put a lot more effort into my blog & post useful things once that very, very important thing is cleared up.

& you can always check my twitter to see what i’m up to.

even though it’s not actually thursday.
this week there’s been even less to love, but i’ll do my best. otherwise i’ll just keep thinking about everything i don’t have.

i haven’t made bloomers for far too long.
i finished these yesterday :] they’re insanely comfortable.

i love this skirt sooooooooo much! you can’t really see it in the pictures, but it’s REALLY wide. & so fun to twirl around in! the bottom tier is like 6 metres. widest skirt i’ve ever made :p i made it from the same amazing silk that i used for the skirt that i posted last week. i cut the lace from a poizen industries (what was i even thinking buying it?) dress that i wore once over a year ago. it’ll get a lot more use now :p

wow, that lighting really doesn’t do anything good for my thighs D:

anyway. these are a lot older (maybe you’ve seen them in my portfolio), but i never took good pictures of them. not that these pictures are so spectaculair. i really need a new camera…

these are probably my favourite bloomers that i’ve ever made. pink+white+stripes+raw edges+sequins+lace+a heart & a bow? yeah, i put as much awesomeness in it as i could muster :p now i just need some tops to go with it!

& now the bag.

i made it today. i’m so very proud of it ^-^

it’s only my second proper bag that i’ve ever made :] i’ve wanted to make that bag for WEEKS now, but i was pretty intimidated. it looked so difficult! it wasn’t though. just A LOT of work. especially because i insisted on putting in so many compartments. i can’t stand bags who just have one.

this one has three extra ones on the inside, one zippered, one for my cellphone & one for my ipod. & all three zippers one the front have one behind them! very handy for things like pens & business cards (which i still need to get…) i also put a D-ring on the inside for my keys to hook on to & blinged the main zipper out with some old jewellery.

i based the pattern off of an old h&m bag. while that bag was VERY flawed (as usual), i really liked the slouchyness of it. i already know i’ll get sooo much use out of this bag. it has everything i love in a bag; long strap, lots of compartments, pink, patterned lining, lots of zippers, bling & it’s a decent size too :]
i’m sorry old nightmare before christmas bag, but your time is over.

oh yes, & remember when i said “it’ll probably be within the next week?” about making & listing new stuff? there’s been a change in plan. i need a few new things for myself first & the few days that i can work next week, will be on my swap. then i’ll go to belgium & probably won’t make anything new to sell in the next two weeks.
but it’s not like you’re buying my stuff anyway :p

jack: no, eric, listen. i don’t want you to change. come back man. where’s my old buddy?

eric: he’s dead. he’s gone. he was inefficient & unprepared for that cold, cruel world. but you know what, jack? you did him a favour & you killed him. (same stirrer! how hard is that?)

jack: you know, this world is only cold & cruel because people like me believe you have to be that way to succeed.

eric: you know something, jack? i’m gonna succeed in it. (one napkin!)

jack: eric, eric, please man! i was wrong! just forget all that! we don’t wanna be any part of that world!
[...]
you knew that didn’t you?

mr. feeny: well, i’ve lived in this world a long time now; i think i know it very well.

jack: so, all this time you didn’t want me to rub off on him, you wanted him to rub off on me.

mr. feeny: i wanted both, jack. you see, it’s not enough to leave school & just desire to succeed in this cold, cruel world. because then you simply become a part of it. you must also have the desire to change it. & to change it you need your fine mind & his good heart.
