Go, go read it! You will regret nothing!! (<<<Clickie)

Tutorial - Sleep inside hammock for a ferret, rat, chinchilla, cat...

Well, Ive been having tonnes of fun gradually building up Maxs new bedding set (Almost out of fabric!) and today it was a sleep inside hammock and a cube =D

And without further ado..

Tutorial for a sleep inside hammock! Great for ferrets, rats, chinchillas, cats - whatever needs a nice cosy bed =D These can be hung in a cage or on a frame, or just placed on the floor~

Отпускаю текст/ Otpuskayu lyrics - Максим/Maksim [Transilt.]

Well, I did this up a while ago for when Caity and I wanted to do a cover of the song 'Otpuskayu' by Maksim to counter the fact that Caity can't read Russian, since I couldnt find a transliterated version anywhere. I have since finally found an instrumental version (Alright...I wasnt actually looking that hard xD) and so found my transliterated lyrics again, horray!

And since I couldnt find it anywhere else, I decided to put it up here. It may help someone xD

*Please note that this is translated as the words are read, so stressed 'o's are actually written as 'a', not 'o'/ Plus characters like Я, Ю etc are written Ya, Yu etc (respectively), instead of with a J like how it is normally done. (Why?? Я makes a 'ya' sound! Not a 'j'. I dont understand....)

Отпускаю - Максим
Otpuskayu - Maksim

Helena Skirt

Well some time ago I purchased a quantity of blue fabric with the intention of turning it into skirt that sits on the waiste, above knee lenght, etc. I cut out the pieces but it just wasnt working out, the the idea was scrapped.

But, whilst browsing the free patterns on Burda, I came across this skirt -

It seemed so quick and easy, plus the pattern could be printed at home! So I gathered up some of my old school work, stuck it in the printer (recycling FTW) and walla! Pattern!

But, what material? Then I came across the blue material, layered the pattern pieces on it, praying they would fit. Perfect =D

About 2 hours later, and walla! -

I only realised after how creased it was >.<# (Thats what I get for leaving it on the back of my computer chair...) And excuse my terrible hair (It looks so red 0.0), I have just been to the hairdressers so its still settling in.

So yeah, quite cute of I do say so myself~  Lovely with a simple singlet and mid - lenght blouse. Id imagine a large, chunky necklace or belt would really help liven it up =D I plan on changing the buttons, and I am thinking about perhaps making a black one =D

Price? About $3. (Im loving this whole sewing clothes at home thing...Haha!). Highly recommended =D

The beach, Cosplay Progress + a quick skirt!

First off, mum and I's trip to the beach went splendid -

Not bad considering it wasn't until I got home that I could finally see what I had taken pictures off - Many good shots where ruined because I didnt realise the dog was standing right int the middle of them >.<# I have splendid eyesight...

Wildflowers and Baby Fruit!

Its Wednesday. I have to hand in a photography assignment on Friday. Should get started on that xD And so, the dog and I set off on  a whirl wind adventure to complete my mission >8D

Dog.

Further Progress

 Well, I now have the purple skirt complete, and the corset is boned, covered with pretty black satin and almost fully edged. Just have to finish the edging, add in the ringlets, attach the bit of material at the back that goes under the ribbon then add all the gold accents!

Beautiful rolled hem =D First time doing it on my overlocker too~
