Say hi to new kits!
After finishing the Moon Castle, I immediately ordered the other piece in the series (I call it Butterfly series, although it's not official), The Kiss! And while browsing the site, I saw - oh my god, the joy! - a Randal dragon! By now it's obvious that I love these, but the size has always creeped me out, lol. But partial stitching with beads - that would be done in a breeze compared to a haed!
Of course, I can't start those yummies now. No, no. But I can still open them XD
Yummy, yummy, yummy! And soft. The fabric is so nice and soft. I think I will be sticking with this kits from now on. Btw I had some people asking me about the partial beading kits. Those up here and the Moon Castle are designs/made by Charivna Mit, and the other beaded fairy I work on is from Abris Art. Both are Ukrainian firms. I don't know of UK/USA brands making such kits, but I'm pretty sure there are. Honestly, I just didn't search much, because it's easier for me to order these.
And this time, the woman who delivers slipped in my bag some extra goodies! Callendars, an Ukrainian magnet and a mini stamped image with a kitty!
Now I just have to pass my exams so I can add those all to my wips! XD

Помните ли, когато се хвалех с доставката от Yiota's stitch споменах, че още неща са на път? Е, те всъщност си пристигнаха още тогава, но ви ги представям чак сега. :) Обикновено ме мързи да поствам придобивки, ама тези са толкова хубавички и бляскавички, че как да се сдържи човек!
На "Целувката" ѝ вдигнах мерника още щом завърших Лунния замък. За мен, т си е негово другарче, от Пеперудената серия. Аз си я кръстих така, официално не са признати, но според мен са създадени един за друг. И докато се разхождах из сайта - о, изненада!! Открих Рандалов дракон! Вече е ясно, че тези мъници ги обожавам. Но размерите им в Хаед са доста... впечатляващи. Дори и на най-най-дребните, като схемата, с която се сдобих от последната разпродажба - и те са високи 360 бода (това е доста). Затова, при откритието ми, крафтърското ми сърчице се възрадва - защото да се измънисти частично това драконче, ще отнеме частица от времето, което би било необходимо да се изХАЕДи. А резултатът - ще е блещукащ. И вкусен :)
За да бъде угощението пълно - дамата, която извършва поръчките, беше пъхнала разни допълнителни приятности в торбичката ми :))) Календарчета, магнитче от Украйна и мини схемичка с коте!
Сега остава само да си взема изпитите, та да мога да добавя всички тези неща, към проектите, върху които работя в момента XD

Shopping for martenichki today!
Despite the temperatures today, that was somewhere around the absolute zero if you ask me, my sister and I went to buy some more martenichki!
But before I show them to you, I want to say hello to Flossy! Thanks for following, and I totally love your blog too :D
Now to show you! The ones for the girls who told me they'd like one, are there too... but I won't tell you which ones!
~~~~Въпреки температурите днес, които според мен кръжаха някъде около абсолютната нула, двете със сестра ми отидохме да купим мартенички. 20 минути бяха достатъчна да се изпари всякакво желание да стигнем до сергиите на площада, и се примирихме с тези пред Бургаския свободен университет. Те от своя страна също имаха какво да предложат :) Трябва да призная, че ми се купуват още! XD Сред тези са и мартеничките, за момичетата, които казаха, че биха желали да получат по една от мен - но е тайна кои са ;P А дръвчето го купихме със сестра ми за кабинета на мама. Имаше наистина много красиви подобни дръвчета -май предни години не бях виждала подобен артикул. И при нас имаше свитъчета с първомартенски пожелания, но съвсем мънички - всъщност едно такова не е успяло да се хване на снимката - вижда му се само поставчицата - горе, малко по вдясно от средата. ИНаче беше с калинка отгоре. Имаше и с щъркелчета, а също и стъклени бутилчици с пожелания. :D Наистина, ако не беше такъв студ, доста повече време щях да прекарам да оглеждам сергиите - но и толкова ни стигаха да станем на ледени шушулки и да подгизнем в снега. А горките продавачи на сергиите мога само да съжалявам :(
И накрая да кажа здрасти на Flossy, която също има блог, който си струва да бъде посетен ;)

YAYAYAYAYAY! YAY!
The fabrics are unique - how did you get them coloured so good! *love* But I think my favourite part is the angel
I took my sister with me, because she wanted to go and buy herself copic markers and she wanted me to show her the shop. And.. it's not like I left the shop without buying anything for myself, either.
The last set of stickers are Rub-ons and are present from the shop :P I love the panda-cream! There's a cat-cake somewhere above too. The nurse bunny is love too. There were two of them, now one is on the cover of the folder with my organic chemistry themes.
Fimo. Something I always wanted to try.
Felt, ribbons and brads. Can't resist.
Those are form the Armstrong Centre. I've been to this place before, but actually didn't know they had some of this stuff. This is because the shop is divided and the funny part is hidden away! Good thing I found out!
This is from the sewing shop. From the moment I saw this in the latest issue of the magazine, I knew I had to have it. I love this design and CAN"T WAIT to be able to stitch it. So tempting... (sob sob sob)
In the shop they didn't have pretty pins. That's why I made an order and just got an email that it should be in the post tomorrow afternoon. With all of this, you can say that I behaved very very badly. But my punishment is that I'm not allowed to touch all of this for more than month from now. Cruel... I'm putting all of this in a big cardboard box and waiting for all the madness to come to an end.
Talking about the madness, this is what is filling my time lately:
Actally this is the chemistry and those days I've been studying more biology. No good, I'm behind >.<"""" And as I journal-ed in DA, I got my diplome. Apart from the slightly annoying average grade of 5.94 of 6.00 (not fair - 5 years I've been getting 6.00 on 18 subjects and just because of the matura... grr however, lol)Apart, I'm very happy about it - and it's so blue and pretty ^^
P.S. I got the stuff I ordered from BGArts
I stubled by chance on this site and fell in looove with the ribbons - and the pins. A month ago I went from one sewing shop to another to find some pretty pins for embelishment, but alas. Those were perfect ]:D
I'm so seeing some of this stuff on a biscornu. One of the pins seems crooked, but no big deal, I think I can fix it.
This was actually my very first time ordering stuff from the Internet - but as I said, I fell in love and couldn't miss the chance. the delivery and everything from the site was super fast :D I think I can get hooked to this - lol!
Lol this is it! Sorry for the extremely picture heavy post! And thank you again, Cat, for everything! And not on last place - for the excuse to blog! Have a great week everyone :D

Ta-da!
Finally f***ing finished! I'm so not doing this again. I'm so not making freaking tiny crosses on this fabric. Never over 1 again. Plus the fact it was constantly worked after midnight, I'm pretty sure I gained yet another dioptre. Remind me to never mak the same mistake, because my usual memory lasts about 3 sec.But gosh, I'm so pleased with the result ^_____^
It took me about 5 days to 1)find the camera 2) find the batteries 3) charge them 4) 3 days in row asking sister to take photos, since she's better than me in this, which is not that hard actually 5) giving up and shooting photos
Nyaa...
Nesting in the chrysanthemum...
Realizing that I chose the one withered...
changing...
Pfff, I had enough of the artistic photo shooting XP
And may I use this blog to brag that today I bought my prom dress? :3
Most of my classmates started searching back in December, going to other cities, ordering... I bought the first dress I tried from the closest place. It's the exact opposite of what I was envisaging.
And I love it.
It's pink
With silverish flowers
(kinda like the tiles in the bathroom... ok, bad comment XP)
It's long
with bare shoulders and corset O.o
Everything I was planning to evade, lol! I was thinking about something middle length, some dark colour (camouflage!!!) and definitelly something to hide the shoulders.
But I don't really care if I'll look like a corseted (not so) little piggy because - did I mention I love it? And after all when again will I have the chance to wear a ball dress?
Oh, and what could this be?
But there will be quite a lot of pink... I'm so pinkish lately... I guess it's the bathroom's fault, since they changed it from blue to pink...
Pinkish, Pink, Pinky ... and the Brain... I got the pink part but I'm still lacking the brain... Now tell me that Pinky is as the finger and it'll ruin everything... I never actually watch this show. But it's over 3 am and thus I have the right to write all kind of idiotic stuff - just ignore
and now off we go for the last filler episode of bleach! ^___^
The smallest font doesn't seem small enough >.>''

Mail, mall and minigames
Stupid title again. I should get over it already.
This will be a heavy-picture post, let me warn you!
Mmm, let's go one by one...
First! Today I sent my bracelet! I'll wait till it arrives and post a photo then. Special thanks to my sister who took a photo for me, because I was in real hurry today. I hope the letter will reach its recipient safe and sound. To be honest that's my first time sending something abroad, but I hope everything will be okay! And it's the neighbour country, so I hope it'll arrive fast! Wish my letter luck on its journey!
After sending it my best friend and I went to the mall for various goodies, including eye candy and just normal candy! :D My hopes were broken when I saw that they have closed the Yves Rocher shop which I really loved and noone knew where is it now T___T So candies for solace were just so needed and our last stop at the mall was The Chocolate Kingdom:
Only one packet make it home. The other mice... ran away...
In the other packet there was a small toy collection :D I like best the circus elephant in the bottom left but he can't be seen well >.>
Artificial Intelligence!
Mmm, chocolate is nice for recharging too, and I was so exhausted XP We ran through the whole town... my legs still hurt... Well enough for the outside world :D Now back in home I want to show you my new (that's actually recycled old one!) notebook:
Look what my sister drew :DDDD LOVE IT!!! PUFFLE MANIA!!! The cardboard I used to make the cover is silvery and glittering so the photo doesn't look too good, but I can assure you, in reality it's more than awesome :D
Do you remember the game Plants Vs Zombies I talked about before? We're still playing, but lately it's only the Zen garden we care about ^^" Just let me show you my Tree of wisdom:

And my sister's:

It's name is Dudley and as you see it's 62 feet tall now. I don't know how many meters 62 feet are, but I got the feeling Dudley it's slightly taller than my tree. (I should name my tree too. Maybe Fidancho "Lost Cause" Wiseleaf (fidancho would be the diminutive form of sapling...) But just let me tell you that to grow her tree this tall, my sister mercilessly exploit her other flowers in the Zen garden! I'm not like this! I fight for equality between all species!!!
But truth is Plants vs Zombies isn't the only game we're playing lately. We got hooked on the games of the searching type. I got all my games from NevoSoft or other Russian sites so I got into the Russian "terminology" for the games - they mostly call the searching games Iskalki and I really like this term, lol :P
First is Mystery Legend: Sleepy Hollow
I didn't have the time to get screenshots myself, so this is from the net. I ADORE the Sleepy Hollow movie (Johnny Depp!!!!! ) and I really enjoyed the game, thought it really followed the legend, not the movie. Everything is very pretty drawn..except... Ichabod Crane XP He really killed me... The destination where you have to search are interesting too and not all the objects are easy to see! I wish I had taken I screenshot of the Sleepy Hollow tree decorated like a Christmas tree with the portraits of the victims of the Hessian.
Second is Mortimer Beckett and the Spooky Manor. This time I took some shots:

Topcho playing!
It's iskalka too, but the idea is more interesting than simply finding objects. First, all the objects are broken and you have to find the pieces. Then you have to put the assembled items on their places that sometimes are in other rooms of the manor. Other objects you have to use - for example you have to gather the pieces of oiler and scissors, then find a oil tank, fill the oiler, find a whetstone, use the oiler on it so you can sharpen the scissors and so on. The main idea is to find all the pieces of a machine that will chase the ghosts of the house. Oh yeah, there are ghost too. They weren't that much of a bother during the game, so I don't really thing there was a need to chase them away.

Like that ghost of alcoholic in the corner who died of cirrhosis and now tries to drink all the wine in the house just to keep you from his fate. support the good cause and give him the bottle of wine.
The only bad thing about the game is that it's really short - just when you're getting enthusiastic it comes to an end! But it seems there's second part too - this should be checked out!
Thirs and my favourite is SUPER COW!!!!

I LOVE THIS GAME!!!
The story - the evil prof Duriartty (or smth) runs from the jail and takes over the farm! Now only Super Cow can bring the piece back! I laughed a lot on her diary, and the voice of the cow is awesome. The voices of most of the other animals irritate me, but they too were chosen well to match the characters (specifying - I play the game in Russian) - for example I really liked how the rabbit was lisping . For now I saved the animals up to the rabbit, and my sister, of course, finished the game. If you have a look at her DA page, you'll see her love for the Super Kefir (Kefir is kind of milk drink that in the game gives health to the cow)
Have a lookie in my trophy room:

My favourite one is the champagne from bulls - fans! :DDD Oh, and do you want me to tell you a secret - Super Cow is getting married in the end! (as you can guess I'm watching my sister play).
Last words - those mini games are seriously addicting ^///^ Nyaa, but it's a vacation, still!

Presenting the presents
Ok, the title isn't very bright.
In school we drew lots to exchange Christmas presents and we gave it to eachother today. Phew, it was hard choosing it! Due to weather/sickness/work I couldn't buy it until this Sunday. On that day I asked my sister, who was about to go choosing her presents for school, to buy mine too. I asked her to buy one pink poodle (yup, the girl I got to give present too, kinda likes things like this, or so I was told).
But there weren't poodles left in that shop.
So she bought a camel.
Because it was curly like a poodle.
I don't deny that the camel is cute, but it's not exactly the thing you would give to a person, who'd like a pink curly poodle!
So I went hunting myself. That's what I got her in the end. No poodles indeed, but still:
The candle and the soap (that in the little bag is soap) smell so AWESOME, I wanted to eat them! Just for one night they spent in my room, she smelled like chocolate and vanilla. I got them from Refan, a shop, that really encourages eating candles and soaps with those gorgeous smells. (I have to confess that all the time I was hoping that the person who had to give me a present, would buy me something from there... Nyaah, she didn't, so I decided to treat myself with a cocoa soap bar ^////^)
We ( a group of girls in school) usually give eachother small presents too. We didn't talk it this year but this is what I bought for them.
Packed:
I have to say I'm very pleased with how it turned out! I got the holiday print patterns form I russian site, Ilovehandmade.ru, that is always feeding me with craft ideas and supplies.
I really love those snow balls! So you can imagine how happy I was when I received one too. Here are the presents I got:
The owl is just awesome.
Aand, as an excuse for the crappy photos, I want to say, that I don't have a light bulb in my room for a week or so now (and I hope tomorrow an electrician will finally come, else I will have a very dark Christmas) and I'm using old and crappy (not to mention ugly) desk lamp.
So Christmas is just around the corner, and I have only one day school till the vacation! For now I wish you merry preparations, if you like me, aren't done yet!
