beloved readers & internet in general,

i’m going to have to leave you for a while. i really don’t want to. it’s just that i have all these tests coming up next week & have to hand in a pretty huge assignment on monday (without which i can’t take the exams) & so far i’ve done exactly, uh, nothing. on either. so i should probably do something about that.

i will still answer eventual e-mails & messages & promptly mail out any eventual orders on things in either of my shops, but i will not be posting anything new here or on any message boards or other communities, or taking any new custom orders until the end of next week.

i’ll miss you!

manic monday

i’ve decided to do inspirational type of posts more regularly. on mondays, to be exact.
as much other things i’d like to say here, i think this works best without me babbling. so all i’ll say is: enjoy!

what do you think about these kind of posts from me anyway? yay? or nay?

friday features

so, the day before yesterday i applied for membership of the craftanon etsy street team & i got accepted! which is awesome.

to celebrate (& do my part in spreading the word) i’ll feature products from other street team members, i haven’t featured before, this week.

enjoy!

it was VERY hard to choose what to feature, even with featuring more products than usual. i hope you like what i picked! & make sure to check them all out!

things i love thursday

♥

♥ how many pageviews my little blog has gotten this week! even though you all shied away from the comment boxes, thanks for taking an interest :] ♥ dressing up for the sake of it ♥ having voted in the local elections! while my mom never has xD i wasn’t going to, but a friend half talked me into it & i’d never done it before, so… ♥ the smell & promise of spring ♥ the fountainhead by ayn rand, i’m barely at the third chapter, but it’s already one of my new favourite books ♥ getting complimented on my skirt by an old lady who cycled by ♥ how loose my leather jacket fits me now ♥ spontaneously going to the library with one of my favourite people (we’re both total book nerds :p) ♥ buying fun things for myself again after not being able to for a few months ♥ cruel intentions (seems like i’m totally obsessed with a different movie/tv show every time i write these) ♥ taking a little break from sewing to focus on other things i love ♥ the latest articles from gala darling ♥ that they’ll be showing the new alice in wonderland in (some of) the major theaters here anyway! they wouldn’t at first because of the dvd release or whatever. just one more week… ♥ reading books instead of watching tv on my laptop ♥ getting complimented on my eyebrows by very unexpected strangers ♥ solving problems without the help of anyone else ♥

that’s all i can think of now, but overall it’s been a pretty good week :]

the question isn’t who is going to let me; it’s who is going to stop me.

what i wore 02/03/10

it’s not the most imaginative of outfits, but i wanted to show off how much handmade things i wore :p besides, if i do these posts more often, i’m more motivated to dress up on a daily basis. for months now i’ve kind of been in a jeans coma (shame on me), especially with school & the cold & stuff. i really should throw those jeans out…

hoodie: black widow diy
skirt: handmade (& it’s actually dark purple, stupid camera)
black underskirt: handmade
knee-socks: the market
shoes: good old doc martens
necklace: headless tess diy
rings: gifts (one from abysmal) & sugar mafia
make-up: maybelline eyeliner (only eyebrows), max factor powder
bag: black eastpak school backpack (not pictured)

i don’t really like the knee-socks in this outfit, but i didn’t want to wear tights/leggings (bulging issues) & my other three pairs of knee-socks clashed too violently. so i settled for these.

& one with my awesome yellow coat:

i bought it in january but the whole time it was too cold to wear it (that coat isn’t that thick) & the past few days it wasn’t, so i seized the opportunity :] it’s from we.
