Little Red Riding Hood

I celebrated Halloween for my 1st time yesterday.

Rotkäppchen

having way too much fun

it was a bit crazy...but more on that in the next post.

I had to read several German Fairytales, and luckily I read Rotkäppchen before the weekend.

I can't believe I somehow managed to read them in German...

playing with makeup & hair, pleated skirt with various outfits

 I've found time to craft and experiment, I just cram my homework as soon as I get it, but I still have a heavy workload. In the past two weeks, I've made a pleated tartan skirt and a tartan mixed cape, both without a pattern. I've learnt how to apply make up alot faster now too :)

What are you doing for Halloween?

A Little Whack

I made some shorts, but since I 'guessed' it, the legs are a bit odd :<

odd legs

I think I'll sort them out on a later date, but now I'm too lazy.

I really love the check pattern :) I wish I had more time to craft.

I was a bad girl and bought some Dr. Martens too.

super shiny

I hope I can wear them nearly every day! They are super squeaky.

I've spent over £200, on buying vital books for my courses aswell.

not vital, but close

I bought another Chuck Book, even though I don't have time to read it yet :<

Independence is pretty expensive, but I love the freedom.

What's on your reading list?

Shine On Me - Lolita Picnic

Remember the skirt that was on my mannequin?

Lolita Slut

It turned out alot shorter than I wanted, since I ran out of fabric :( I'm currently selling it for £10, but it's in the wash atm XDI hosted a picnic meet, I should never be a host, I'm too disorganised.

eating

I love Larry's green and purple hair! It was good to meet friendly and new faces too :)

food pile, lolita picnic

It was alot of arm work to carry the picnic stuff, but it just made the picnic guilt free :p 

The weather was great until we got home, on the train home I talked to Heather about DDR and Para Para, I really wish there was a state of the art arcade nearby *sad face*

Cute things

Thanks for all the sweet comments too :)

I'll Be Your Banana

Totally random title, I have been eaten ALOT of bananas though. My relatives often call me a banana. I'm cool with that....

alot banana bread...

So finished my mouldy jumper, which I've decided I don't hate anymore.

stripey jumper

messy looking neckline

I made a mistake on the neckline :(, so it looks a bit different to what it should look like. It took me around 12 nights to knit (not including the breaks I took from it)

skull leggings to skull stockings :)

I made some stockings from Marlena's tutorial, she's a friggin genius. You should check her out :)

Pastel Clash - heart hama bead buckle

I've nearly finished a Lolita skirt, I'm trying really hard to use up my fabric, but I bought some pleather, and some more wool :(

uber tacky shorts

I made some uber tacky shorts aswell. I drafted the pattern myself, all I need to do is master how to draft a sloper. I really, really love how disgustingly tacky these shorts are. 

draft, sew, cut and redraft, use redrafted pattern and sew tacky shorts.

I'm really proud, I hope I can kept building on my sewing skills, sometimes I feel like I'm just going in circles and never learning anything new :(

One of my friends recently got back from HK and got me some magazines and treats for my family, so sweet! Thanks Fran :D 

What's the most tackiest thing you own?

No offence, but can you trump my shorts :p?

Sheer Delight

I haven't really done much over the summer, just gotten addicted to knitting. I'm currently knitting a jumper, which I first despised, but now I'm growing to love.

in progress jumper

The colours and stripes are so weird...

bow and letter

replying and sending letters :)

skirt

sewing, I think I need a trip to a fashion show, or to a new city with lots of shopping centres for inspiration I've lost my mojo for sewing.

Sailor Stockings

Mr Nice Guy got me some nice stockings too, I'm just thinking how to co-ordinate them now :) Thank you Mr Nice Guy =^_^=

I wanna knit alot more jumpers, but the current one has been such a bitch to knit! I knitting it on the wrong needles, then the wrong tension, and then the yarn kept breaking :(, hopefully I'll have it finished very soon though.

Also ran 6miles/9.5km with Mr Nice Guy yesterday ^_^

How far have you ran before?

sorry I haven't had a chance to catch up on everyone's blogs yet too!
