TUSAL May

Here's my Tusal jar after another month
Nothing too exciting about it. But while on the same shelf, I decided to took another photo:
Yay, the picture of my Shogun magazines is building up! I took similar photo about year ago. Other change is thar now this cat is keeping the books from falling

I'm awfully sleepy right now, so I don't feel luck saying much *yawn* Today was my first bac - of litterature. I couldn't sleep at all the night, and when I came back, it was way too warm so I couldn't have a good rest either. As for the exam itself, I think I did it rather well. I wasn't hoping for the theme that was chosen, but didn't mind it either. But we started working at 8.40 instead of 8.00 (it took them that much time to copy and give away all the stuff) and the waiting without knowing really killed me >.<
The second bac is on Monday. With this, the "end of high school" exams will be over and the only left will be the university exams in the beginning of July.

Quick and clumsy project

I bet everybody sometimes decides to execute an idea on a total whim! Well today I finally finished writing my biology themes. 65 of them, phew, now I have to go revising again and again and again...
Anyway after proudly putting the last words of them on the blcank sheet, I had the very sudden desire to execute this idea . I've found many interesting ideas on this russian blog; and I always loved how people turn old items into pin cushions - especially old tea cups. The most lovely pin cushion ever! But I saw this post some time ago, and I don't know how it came to me, lol!
Well my interpretation is not that good at all, but I'm glad since I tried some new things. I did it in a very short time, about half an hour or so. I used very old ribbon, god knows where it came from; and a very old too, ash tray in the form of duck made of lead, that I got from my father. I used it as a pin box, but it got crooked and couldn't close well.

Btw I never knew which way the legs should go
Grr, blurry photo
Again, it's more for the idea and the try. I always wanted to try making flowers with ribbons. Now I got how it's done :D But I have no comment for those.. leaves.. grrr terrible...

This was very fun project for me ^^ Btw now the fabrics help the upper part of the duck to stay on place - this minimizes the chance to lose it!
After finishing it, I tried my luck with a grammar and litterature test. 3 mistakes of 40... There's still chance for me, right? :/ The bac is on Friday, the day of the New Moon btw, so I'll post TUSAl if I come back alive and in my mind.
Now after I showed you the transformation of my lead duck ash tray, I think I'll go and watch Bertie Wooster's adventure with the silver cow creamer. I just love Jeeves and Wooster!

Oh wait!
I started my last bday card project. Tatty bear. The backstitching will be nightmare.

Unbirthday (image heavy post because I like what I see)

Second post today, but oh well. I just could not wait anymore to show the *unbirthday* presents I've been working on lately, even though I haven't sent them yet. But the person they are for doesn't visit the blog (at least I think so) so it's safe I hope! Anyway I can't wait, nyah!

Why unbirthday? Because if you're sending a present through the post services, there's very high chance for the present not to arrive in time. (With me it's 100% sure, since I lost all day making this card - which is weird, I know, or as sis says "Wicked!" - but I like it anyway. mmm, so I couldn't get to the post in time, and tomorrow and Friday are national holidays - Day of the army - so I won't be able to send it. Damn.... >.<) And Very Merry Unbirthday definitely sounds better than Happy Belated Birthday wishes or whatever. The unbirthday theme just goes along with Alice, there's no questioning that. I personally don't like the Disney movie. The book is better, and I have a great deal of quotes I love from there, but still is seriously creeping me out. One thing I like from the movie (apart from the Cheshire cat) is the Very Merry Unbirthday song. so you have this scene from the movie alond with various items form the scrapbooking kits I spoke about earlier. Btw these are 3 papers I arranged like this not one sheet, so you can blame me for the colour combo. Those kits were definitely meant more for digital srapbooking, and I can assure it was a pain cutting the letters. In the inside is the following little poem : Birthdays come but once a year (and some say that's enough)
because you're one year older and not as up to snuff.
But this is an unbirthday card for all the days in store
without adding a single year you get 364


Finally to show my beloves boxes! I'm still stuck with the pink, as you can see. First to say that the pink and white box didn't make it, because in the end there was no place in the box for it. maybe it's better like this, because even though the paper is from the same kit, the other two just feat one another and this stands out. I put the bracelets that were inside in the baggy.

It's stil deserves your attention :P I decided to keep in the paper stars I made (or rather the patethic attempts). I used the Disgaea star paper from Missy Tannenbaum that made the work much more enjoyable! Still making the stars in way harder that the origami boxes! The paper for the boxes I found on Ilovehandmade.ru

The other two. The bigger one has some chocos in
The smaller one - beads/charms

Btw as you see, those three boxes have different patterns (the pattern of the big one can't be seen right, damn, but it's a "wheel") the lighter pink is a "lightning" and the thirs is a "bow", but they're all made form the same units, connected in different ways. I can't wait to try the next serie of units to see what patterns will come out!
No high lighting the cube, you've already seen it. I wanted to send anime stickers, but couldn't find good ones - so let it be 2D bunnies. The thread is not DMC, but Ariadna. It's less common or so it seems, but I like it. And I thought it would be more interesting to send it than DMC or Anchor.


This little purse took me some time to make. Most of it I was wondering "I can do it... no i can't... it won't look good this way..." and so on. The actual work was 2 x Bleach + Disney Robin Hood + Kronk's New Groove. again, I'm happy with result, especially the seams. about two rows above the T is the "invisible seam" and I think I did it right! The little plushie Taurus was love from first sight, I bought it along with even cuter Cancer although I don't know any cancers. And I found just the perfect cross stitch pattern mathing the Taurus with the exact same coulurs , but really didn't have the time for it (or else it would be just in time for the next year birthday!). well maybe I'll really make it for next year!
The whole thing is a total colour way - killer regarding my pink & black theme btw.

And in the inside there is:
You've seen those already, except for the keychain. Yup, it's pink & black, and it's a flying pig. We all know pigs are meant to fly so we should get over it. Again this pig should have had a blue friend, because the original bracelet pattern had them both. Blame the lack of time
The paper clip is here to save the day (the colour way)! and having Mentos as a hair pin is just cool.

P.S. Thanks for the nice comments regarding the end of high school! I can't fully realize it yet, lol... I'll miss many things, that's for sure, but right now it's good to have a little more time to concentrate on the university exam studying. And it would be good if I actually use this time for that purpose >.<""""

Kttycat has a giveaway, some more links and omg I finished high school O.o

Now, let's take it one by one, shall we?
First of all, Kttycat has a giveaway on her blog for her 100th post, which includes a stunning bead angel, and a kool cat that's well, cool, and other awesome stuff! Well I'm not sure if there's use for me to announce it on my blog, sinceal most all of my followers follow her blog too, and I suspect that all of my 3 views per day are generously donated by them. But anyway, spreading the word is a good thing, so here we go!

Now, I plan to continue being Captain Obvious *evil grin ]:D * and tell another discovery (that you might be not interested in!) I recently got my hands on a How to make origami boxes book (and now I'm totally in love, will show some results iПодравняване в средатаn next post). Anyway I went searching the net for fancy papers to make my pretty boxes, in sites for scrapbooking and such. Previously, when I was searching for paper for my cards, I hardly found any good ones. It goes without saying, that I was looking for freebies.
Yup, I love freebies. Mention a freebie and you'll got me
FREEBIE! WHERE! (ignore the russian title)
And then my sister will gave me this look:
"You're so cheap"
Er... well, it's not like I'll join the Evil Forces if they come with a poster "Come to the dark side, we have freebies"
So where was I...
This time, I hit the jacpot with The Blog Train Blog that has over 100 designers making themed free scrapbooking kits every other month; and Lori's freebie list where freebies are gathered daily. Hitting the international srapbooking day also helped in my search I guess!
Now again, this info might be totally useless (or already well known) but, first, I got so excited when I found it that I wanted to share, and second, I got the sudden urge to post those owls.

And a final word - ohmigawd, I finished high school O.o I can't believe yet that there will be no more classes and I'll never ever enter that school as a student again. We'll go again on 12th to have the pernissions to go to the matura, the first exam is on 14th, second on 17th. Then the concert for our school leaving will be on 21st, and the prom on 24th... And university exams in the beginning of July...
Nyaah, it seems so weird... I can't believe I spent 5 years already - they passed so fast!...

The magic of backstitch & Card evolution

We all know that it's the backstitch that makes the difference
In any case I guess the bunny is happier now, as it has fingers, mouth (who would like to have the Hallo Kitty fate?) , whiskers and an eyebrow. But it totally messed my pretty back.
Yesterday it struck me that the birthday was today! Da*n it! I'm totally losing my sence of time! and the backstitch wasn't even done yet. I had a biology lesson so I had to go. On my way back I went searching for a present - usually we gather money for biggerpresent but this time I didn't know if they're doing so - good thing I at least had some shops with ideas. The weather was pretty pecular - it was raining while I was on the street and stopped everytime I entered a shop.
when I got back I had to work on finishing the card. This time I definitelly wanted something different, so I stayed late trying different things. The scanner (of course) refused to scan the finished card - I suppose it doesn't like working after midnight. So I took pictures with camera right before going to school.
And ohh YUSH I'm getting better, isn't that right 8D

I decided to stick with the yellow flower theme. Here's the inside:
The bottom flowers are just holding the paper and there's a secret message behind! :D
After I figured out I could use double sided tape for the cards, life's been esier ^___^ The result is prettier cards! (I had to google the English term for double sided tape... and in wiki - > I mean... people are not really using it to prevent hammers from slipping or to secute strapless dresses, are they? O.o )
Paper patterns used for the card are from Cuddly Buddly
The flowers and another items are part of a 3d decoupage sheet and are from here

Light is no good at o6:30 at the mornings. At least there isn't anyone's breakfast in the backround (at least nothing too much... sigh...)

Yush, the heart is stuck of the bottom ^_____^ I wanted to make tag saying "Nothing can warm your heart like a cup of hot tea" or something like this, but really couldn't keep my eyes open any longer.

One year of Last.fm

I warned you about this - now I'll be flooding you with useless stats on my listening habbits! (evil laugh ]:D )
Sooo... 12th of April was my anniversary on Last.fm. For one year I became slightly sddicted to its stats (and free offerings) and was able to fulfill my goal of 10 000 listened tracks. Actually right now I have 10 757 :)
And HERE is my profile on Last!
It's been fun to observe what music I listen, lol, I found out I was fond of some styles I've never heard about before, like indie and visual kei, lol. And also the changes in my top 8 that is shown on the profile page (that includes when they change the artist's photo - usually to a worse one).
Now enough babling, I'll just spam with pictures of stats - I absolutely love stats :B





























I for myslef will say that my music taste doesn't quite fit anywhere... and that I'm terribly sorry that Gackt didn't make it tp the top 8! I really wouldn't mind having his picture on the front page!
Do you happen to have account there? Lol I'm always curious about what the others like :)

P.S. I'm pretty sure I have a cold. And wisodm teeth are pure evil MySpace

P.P.S. To Kttycat who in a previous post asked me to show the dress - I just can't take a descent photo, damn it! Everytime I take the camera, the sun hides. Still here's something (that should be clickable)




MySpace Better take a photo of the bathroom tiles...

A giveaway!

The owner of Crazy by design, Cathy K is having a giveaway - with great prizes! :D Her blog is
awesome too, I really enjoyed it. So why not go have a look and congratulate her on the 200th post and join in too :)

I found the info on Kttycat's blog, so I thank her for spreading the word too :3
