Forca!

christmas holiday!!!
Yay!

but I have a lot of things to do:

• writing a japanese essay (topic: Otedama (Japanese Joggling Game))
  
• writing a term paper (topic: Japanese Cultural Studies)
  
• preparing a presentation (topic: Old English Occupations Text Analysis)
• cooking a superb meal for my love
• sewing about... 3-6 costumes -_-
• maybe even a little preparation for our move in January
• maybe even a little learning for the exams -_-
  

Anger management #1: sewing the whole day

I'm stupid but I love it

2 new shoes in this week... hmmm bad.. or no it's good ;P

I have enough anger inside of me these days to buy a whole shoe store if I could xD

Live with a flat share is NOT funny -_-
imagine (or consider you are) being a non smoker and everytime you want to go into your kitchen, making dinner or something, you suffocate in this big big white smoke cloud
and every morning you want to make your coffee... you come into your kitchen and either there are people you don't know having muuuuch fun over the what-do-I-know-number-of-beer or the table, and everything around invites you to have a huge through over (ashes, dirt, empty beer bottles, food leftovers... everywhere)

and just consider then you like washing the dishes from time to time.. but if you do so, everyone thinks you automatically signed a contract naming you "official dishwasher of the whole flat, lifelong" so if you really don't have the time to wash up somewhen (maybe because you damn fucking STUDY >-<) you get ...BAWLED out because you don't follow your order????? >_____<

what in hell goes wrong in some brains in the world

so this morning my love and me finally decided to move into our new flat not in March but asap... in January! (even though I have my exams in January...)

We think you're a joke

shove youre hope where it don't shine






was used as backrground music in Gossip Girl Folge 2x04

I cannot really follow the characters emotional development.
I cannot understand how someone, who changed so drastically like Serena, can turn back the evil way that easily just by some stupid coincidence.
She's so totally different, a whole new person, from one second to another. The one moment like "I'm so sorry" the next "well go fuck yourself"

anyway, the song rocks

like a great thinker...

I have a Moleskine now ^^

a weekly planner including space for notes, so everything has place to be noted ^_-

Lost in Austen

I love love love Jane Austen!!

Yeah I know this sounds damn cheezy but I would never say I'm not ^_-

It all started when I entered University and subscribed for Anglistics - Introduction to Literary Analysis. The great Prof. Rhontaler ordered us to read Jane Austens "Sense and Sensibility".
I hated it, I slogged my way trough the book and at the end watched the movie (version with Kate Winslet and Hugh Grant) which was ages better!

Then I somehow though it could get better and someone also told me "Pride and Prejudice! IS better, so I read this one and every page was soooooooooooooooooo LOVELY!! I had so much fun reading it watched the movie (version with Keira Knightley) and... hated it!
In this version everyone seems so stubborn... so different than in the novel!

So I somehow got a liking on Jane Austen and now found this:

You have to watch this if you like Jane Austen and Pride and Prejudice especially!
It's way better then the Keira Knightley film, though not following the original storyline all the time!
It's about Amanda Price, a total Austen-o-holic who found a door to the world of Pride and Prejudice and changes places with Elizabeth Bennet!
Great!
(And Gemma Aterton is much better then Keira Knightley here!)

Big Sale!!

just look at my eBay account

for example:

where is my mind...?

propably in bed... where it's warm and dry!
Lucky me that I bought therese rainboots... I needed them today, so at least my feet were dry!

The Glamour confusion

today I had another issue of Glamour in my mailbox... I was so puzzled that I fist looked into my bank account if there was any kind of debit which I didn't recognize, but there wasn't.
So next thing, I phoned the abonement hotline and was told that I WON a 1 year abo for the magazine O___O
Alright, I take anything for free!


Shumatsu?

So last Shumatsu (Manga Anime convention in Dresden) was this weekend. And for me it's was once again absolutely clear why again we will definiately stop making this convention.... soooooo little visitors -_-
But I sold much old stuff at the 2nd Hand stand and made some money!


New Promod store in Leipzig!

I really really don't know how I could not know this before I got the newsletter! The store already opened on Saturday! *_*
I was there today. But there wasn't really anything I needed to buy immediately. (Although there's not much money left for this month).
I asked if they still need temporary personnel but they didn't -_-;


Finishing words of the day




from: Glamour

Sexy? Where exactly?

looks like trashy barbarella from outer space!

I'm no believer..

...but if theres anythink like "god"... he hates me!




Since a few weeks there's a Starbucks in Leipzig and now... Promod T_T
"God" wants my money! That b*tch!!!!

I did some blogwatch a few minutes ago...
I am totally in love with Spanish Moss Vintage.. I love Suzannes haircolour and her face and her clothes...
I don't know the name of the other girl but her hair is even better. Perfect colour, perfect length, perfect cut.. perfect perfect!!! I want such toooo!



then I found this: Mandate of Heaven

Very cool clothe too, very beautiful pictures.. at least somehow because every picture is ruined by this strange chick who can't close her mouth!!!
It looks horrible and ugly, she's even worse than all H&M models who seem like they have been taught "If you wanna be a good model... never, NEVER EVER close your mouth!"

I feel like posting!

I like my blog these days ^^


last chance to make a little advertising:

last Shumatsu in Dresden these weekend!
If you like Manga/Anime/Japan come come and see!!

Shumatsu HP



I bought these:


love'em!

and now I go on reading and reading.. so much old english to read left.. I have 2h until I have to go to university.. muharr! I can make it!

cute cute cuuuuute little dog... yeah he's back at his keepers but this reminds me of our happy time together ^~^

this is what I wear today for university and band rehearsal:

I started cryin'...

When I saw these videos:

http://de.youtube.com/watch?v=Nbqk-58lO-s

http://de.youtube.com/watch?v=NHQ5mqlGKys&feature=related

(and so one.. watch her other videos, no imbedding possible)

I soooo love these series.. I sang along the whole time and happily cried in rememberance of my childhood ^~^;



but happily my make-up wasn't harmed xD
One factor that made this possible: Exceptionell de Chanel

Yesterday there was a bigger sized letter for me in the mail box.. it was the latest issue of Glamour and I don't know why I got this!
I have no abo for the mag and I never ordered anything there!
I only took partition in some of the contests on the HP.. but... I dunno if they send me the mag as some kind of advertisement.
Nevertheless, in the mag there was a coupon to get a free pattern for the new Chanel Mascara at Douglas.
So I went there and got my pattern and tried it and.. wow!
I really like it!
The mascara has a newly invented brush that seperates the lashes pretty well and covers every single one with color. I may buy it when my pattern is used up!

The Next Fashion Talent #2

Nich viel zu sagen außer:

David (aus Polen): du bist ne Diva und das im negativen Sinne, du Pussy ey
Franziska: wenn man das Wort "falsch" gegen andere einsetzt wäre es angebracht kurz zu überdenken ob es nicht viel besser zu einem selbst passt (wer rannte da neulich in einem kurz eingeblendeten Bild and Davids Schulter gelehnt rum..) boaaaah arrogante Ziege ey xD

....alles in allem find ich diese beiden echt extrem arrogant und nervig und alles..
Der liebe David tut einem schon leid wenn man sieht das er mit solchen Hyänen nach Mailand muss.. ein Glück is Behnam dabei... der einzige dort der Talent hat UND einfach neutral bleiben kann und dabei noch sympatisch is


(auch wenn das wohl keiner liesst, es wollte raus nach der grad gesehenen folge)

I don't really like dogs...

But I LOVE KITO!!!!

former dog of the drummer of the coolest Band on town (Leipzig):

Junin

listen to them but he dog's mine xD
(he stays with us these days)

new skirts again ^^

I'm still in my holidays and sew quite a lot.

These two skirts got finished lately, both were started some time again and then thrown into some corner and forgotten ^^; But finally I wanted to finish everything in queue!



1. a balloon skirt made from a big pillowslip which I only bought because I liked the fabric to make out something out of. Theres a broad bund and a rubber strap at the downside end which gives it it's balloon quality.






2. a black/white stripes skirt. On one side theres a black ribbon sewn onto the black stripe, on the other a white ribbon sewn onto the white stripe, they unite at the hip and are bound to a bow there. The band is half black half white fabric with a ribbon of the different colour sewn onto each.

The Next Fashion Talent

This Show is a small feature from Taff (Pro7's gossip show) and airs an Tuesday and Thursday each week!
It's a casting show for Fashion Designers were the winner is going to get an own collection+photoshoot and a stipendium at Londons Design School!
I watch it online at Pro7.de so if you want to see it and don't have a TV (like me ^^) watch it there too!

In this week's 2nd issue the designers had to design+sew red carpet outfits for Mandy and Bahar from Monrose.


Bahars dress is soooooo cute *_*

The designed dresses were mostly great too! They were done in just 1day so my respect to them!

Next week there will be a dismissal again!
I would hope that Franziska will be dismissed but truely I don't think so -_-
But she is SOOOO annoying!
I really like Benahm and Carina, David (the hyperactive one) is cool too ^^
But the silent David ("the polish desing diva"... tzzz) has good ideas but he's so damn withdrawn.. I don't really know wether to like him or not!

Connichi and new clothes

Last weekend I was in Kassel at the Manga/Anime Convention Connichi!

I drove together with CityComics and thus helped them carrying packages and building up their stand. We started Friday at 6.30 o'clock -__-;

This was my stand:



The topic of my stand was to promote Aniversum Dresden e.V., a local association promoting Japanese Popculture. We have our last convention (with the Name Shumatsu which is Weekend in Japanese) this octobre.
More information on this:
Aniversum HP
Shumatsu HP

to entertain the guests passing by the stand we sew cute little lucky charms called Otedama/Ojami. You fill them with rice and can make the most funny stuff out of the very easy, hand-sewing friendly handcraft-idea!


I have build a HP (German!) on this topic, describing how to sew these and what they meant in historic Japan!
See more: Otedama HP

and to show you what you can make out of this: I made a Patrick Starfish for my Boyfriend!




different stuff now: before I left I finished a skirt!
It lay unfinished for about a while and finally I found time to complete the work:




What do you think? ^-^

The Sailor Dress

My Sailordress is finished!

it is inspired by this beautiful Sailordress which I found on some Blog:


I made a version in white and with different bags.
The bags are made after a super duper tutorial of my friend and idol mocca:

Mocca Coutures bag Tutorial

make sure to read her Blog (German)!! Mocca Couture Blog

and finally here is it: my dress

(here's the bow still missing)

a close-up on the bags:

what do you think? ^__^

News News News

I decided to write again, but change the topic slightly.

Now I will concentrate on my sewing-stuff and handicrafts I do.



But first of all I'd like to introduce you to my new haircolor:

































and nooooow I'll show you my latest works:

1. a bag out of some Ikea fabric leftovers, birthday present for a friend:




2. a bag made out of Milk Tetrapacks
I thought this to come out easier since every crafting tutorial just said "sew the packages together..." but this was awful work to do.. as long as it was possible to do.. then my sewing machine striked the act ^^;
Most of the work was done with hot glue!









more to follow soon!
