Just a quick random update here that I'm so excited about! My favourite actor (and band lead!) Gareth David-Lloyd and his wife Gemma are having their baby! Gemma went into labour today, and how exciting! Baby Lloyd is on its way! Congratulations to the happy parents. That child is going to be beautiful, and I'm sure they'll be fantastic parents. I don't even know why I'm so excited about it; I have no connection with them at all, but oooooh it's so exciting! Ok. Fan-girl moment over.
Anyway~ For a lack of things to do, I've been sewing more often. I have a huge steamer trunk under my bed full of fabric, so why not find things to sew! I had a lot of cute plaid prints and had the itch to make some bows.
At the craft store with mum today, I picked up some more fabrics in cute prints. They're all my favourite, but I really love the strawberry and matryoshka ones.
Happy Thursday! I finally saw the Avengers last week after attempting to see it twice before! The theatre kept having issues so finally the second time they issued me a readmission, I went to a different theatre and finally got to see it all the way through. Third time's the charm! I was never a fan of comics when I was younger, aside from reading a few issues of the XMen, but I love super hero movies. The Avengers was awesome and of course there's an amazing cast! I agree with what everyone is saying. Robert Downey Jr. isn't playing Tony Stark, Tony Stark is playing Robert Downey Jr.! He's so like Tony Stark; it's great. And Tony is my favourite so.... Everyone was amazing though. Especially Tom Hiddleston and Jeremy Renner. When I got home I spent the rest of last week watching some of the other Marvel movies: Thor, Iron Man, Iron Man 2, Fantastic Four, Fantastic Four 2, and Captain America, then flailing in excitement at the end when Agent Coulson would show up to each hero.
I'm starting to run out of things to do! I've been looking for a job (to no avail) and I've been home for three weeks. My stepdad is starting to get impatient that I'm home all day, and he asks every night at dinner, "Have you found a job yet?". Nobody is hiring now! It's off season. So i've been spending my time spiking and studding and sewing bows.
The case appeared on my Etsy and was there for only a day before it sold! It was so exciting. I haven't gotten feedback from my customer yet, though it's been confirmed delivered so I hope he liked it!
I also have plans to sew a red velvet circle skirt and a red velvet dress. Inspired by my need for a red velvet dress after seeing a similar dress on Metallic Paws.
I've also recently bought two new pairs of circle lenses. A pair of Princess Mimi Apple Greens and a Sesame Gray to replace the ones I had to retire last month, so be on the lookout for a review of the apple greens!
And that's an update on my boring, no fun life! Review under the cut~
Since I've been home, I've had all the time in the world to do all the things I wanted to do. Study Welsh, leisurely study Japanese, sew some hair bows, sleep. You know, the fun stuff. It's only been two days, but I've already made three medium sized bows (with plans for more) and two detachable peter pan collars. One is velvet, and the other is a black fur with a satin underside and a pearled button. I've been looking all over for cute tops and dresses with peter pan collars and have yet to find one that I really like. So I had a thought. Why not just make it myself?!
This one is my favourite.
I opened up an etsy shop. This is my first item! Check it out~
