I finished my first project from my list of crafts. I made two handsewn hair bows from this tutorial. Nice and simple to ease myself into things, hehe. Right now I’m about 3/4 through making a much bigger project which I hope to finish tomorrow. All I can say for now is that I forgot how grumpy I get when I’m using the sewing machine! What I need is someone to take the designs I draw and sew them for me… I love having things made but I hate sewing! Maybe Enken and I can start some kind of factory ^_^;


When I put them in my hair I just slip a bobby pin through the loop to clip it in. The big one is for ponytails and the small one is for putting in my fringe~ Maybe next I will try some different colours, or maybe try making one with lace.
Lately I’ve been thinking that instead of buying lots of cheap clothes I should just save my money and buy a few nicer things. I can never bring myself to buy expensive clothes which are badly made, but it makes sense to invest in some nice, well made things which should be better quality and wear longer. Here’s some of my favourites from my latest online window shopping…

Not that Forever 21 is Chanel or anything, but I would never buy from there since the shipping is so expensive. They should open a store here already.

I love things with crochet lace details.

And I love cardigans.
And dresses…




Every year I say I want to buy a new coat. Last year it didn’t get cold enough so I didn’t need one. But maybe this year we will have some good coat weather, and maybe I won’t be wearing my old coat which I bought when I finished high school.

So cute! I almost bought this but sadly ModCloth is on the long list of ‘cute sites with ridiculous international shipping.’ Sigh!

This reminds me of something a librarian would wear. Or a secret agent.
Online window shopping is probably the only shopping I will be doing for awhile! But looking at lots of pretty dresses is still fun ♥
