Macaroon Berry

I tried my first macaroon this weekend ♪ raspberry~

I also made two pairs of earrings and 2 phone straps. Raspberry and blackberry ♥  The phone straps will probably be up on Milk Thistle soon ♥

Deer Pouch and Beret

Acorn Crafting

I wanted to share a pair of acorn earrings I was commissioned to make:

 

They are made from real (sealed) acorns!

Not sure if I'm going to add a vintage lace bow or not

I also made a key chain which I will be putting up in my shop soon

Thanks for reading! ^o^

Easter Treats ♥

I don't think I ever posted my new SWIMMER hat! It's from the fawn fur series (of course). I's a new style for me, but I think it will be perfect for winter in Cleveland. Plus I really love the detachable bow, it's so versatile ♥ But I think it matched my beret a little better ^_^

I also bought some white felt to make my mushroom beret ♫ I'm having a bit of a hard time figuring out how I should wear it though ^_^;;

I also scored some yummy Easter candy, just in time for my diet T__T I've lost about 4 pounds already though and my legs are very sore! My skin is also improving, I think it's thanks to the apple cider vinegar and green tea toner I've been using. I struggle so much with my skin u_u 

Lastly, I updated my shop ♥ Here's a peak at some of the items: 

Thanks for reading! ^o^

Fawn Beret + OOTD ♪

I promised a photo of my fawn beret worn and here it is: 

And here's a quick recent outfit too!

Run down:

Blouse: Innocent World

Cardigan: Old Navy

Skirt: Good Will

Socks (and the brown oxfords I wore): Target

Necklace: Gift

Bow: Bought off EGL

Fawny for Life

I wanted to update with two new fawn fur projects. The first is a little pouch I made, getting back into the hang of using a sewing machine (we got a new one at my school I can use now, it's lovely) ♥

The second is a work in progress. I'm trying to be very careful about adding on the bottom elastic component. I'm using a Gothic & Lolita Bible pattern for the Baby, the Stars Shine Bright's fawn beret. I plan on making a similar bow & pearl chain accessory also.

I'm guessing that the fabric used in the original is of higher quality and thus is heavier and drapes nicely. I'm worried about mine looking like a shower cap. I think I've found a solution with the elastic and satin ribbon so hopefully I'll have it finished soon.

My little sad-looking beret

That's all for now, thanks for reading c:

Cute as a Button

This is just a quick update, I promise the monthly posts are coming soon ♫

First off is a button hair tie I made based off a Wonder Rocket design

Secondly, today I received my order from Cotton Candy Friends

I decided to quickly snatch up a few items from the $1.99 sale. My total came to about $10 shipped! 

She also included some cute sticky notes ♥

This is my second order from here and she provides marvelous customer service (and items and prices...)

I highly recommend her shop! \(^o^)/

More soon!

Christmas and New Years Update/Haul

Hi again everyone! hopefully you haven't forgotten about me u__u

My winter "break" has been so busy!

I'd like to start off by saying how thankful I am the holidays are over.

(I have more fun after the holidays during break than during them, too stressful and too many dishes)!

I'd like to show you some of my favorite things I got/bought/picked out for myself for Christmas ♪

Not exactly a Christmas gift, but something adorable I bought ♥ I put my keys in here so they're easy to find in my purse.

In addition to Christmas activities, I also volunteered and participated in a Japanese street fashion show at my local Anime convention. 

Everything is vintage, off-brand and handmade

I made a Fur Fur inspired hair piece for my outfit

I represented a (slightly couture) style of Mori girl during the fashion show and wore Lolita while I wasn't on Duty. Sadly I don't think I got any photos of those coords, but they aren't that different from anything I've worn before. I was surprised to see the amount of Lolitas there! Most of them ended up being in the fashion show too ^_^ I did spot a fair number of girls in Bodyline coords too. Speaking of that, the ATX Lolitas also hosted a Lolita 101 panel, which went spectacularly! The lovely Virginia (first row in the blue VM dress) provided wonderful handmade prizes for the audience ♫

More info, photos and possibly a video of the panel can be found here.

I saw some great cosplay too! I really loved this girl's original outfit based off of Sentimental Circus ♪

I also helped make an impressive Jenga tower at the Maid Cafe.

Of course, I got some swag too!

Ahhh arpakasso !!!
