Happy Halloween!

From me to you!

It's a weekday (hw ;A;), but I'll rush this so it's not too late away from Halloween!

The day before I carved pumpkins with my family, as tradition~

My mom also glazed pumpkin seeds in brown sugar and cinnamon :> very delicious~

Day outfit!~

I wanted to wear the outfit I planned on for Tim Burton, But I barely got any sleep :<

So I just did a simple Mickey outfit, it made me want to do a legitimate Steamboat Willie costume!

 Also, Korilakkuma got into the spirit!

Night!!

My friend came over, we're both a bit sick/tired/overworked. I suggested that I pull out my panda kigurumi and she used my penguin one.

The penguin one is actually handmade by a dear friend, by the way!!

We trick or treated our way to Starbucks were we studied a bit, then went home :>.

It was a good day! I just knew, if I didn't do anything I'd be really bummed, so I'm glad I did stuff!

Hope every one else had a good day! <3

Hello hello! Today is less deco but more crafts!

Have something old? No need to get rid of it if you can fix it up~

Old: Flower decorations from my sweet 16 cake

plus- Jewel chains/Broken necklace pearls and gems/left over lace trim

New: Flower phone/bag charm.
- - - - - - - - - - - 

 With a glue gun I made flower petals out of pieces of lace, and melted holes into the stem backing to hang strands of jewels.

Comment if you're interested in this becoming an upcoming tutorial!

Old: A center piece I received from a party

plus- pearl stickers/ Sugar Bunny memo pad/ scrapbook paper

New: A cute pastel sugar bunny jar
- - - - - - - - - - - 

I kept the glass stones (?) in the jar, being an easy way to keep the purple paper in place, and stuck the memo pad over it. Then I went ahead and glued on various sized pearls everywhere.

Old: Tissue paper form presents, a small flat box

plus- pearl stickers

New: a small wall decoration of flowers
- - - - - - - - - - - 

An easy way to put a piece of art by you in your room!

You may find a easy tutorial for these tissue flowers > here <

 Old: A flat-rate box and fleece blanket

New: A cute stand for my Korilakkuma
- - - - - - - - - - - 

I wasn't really wanting my bear sitting on the floor, and I wanted it to just be more elevated :>

So, there are some easy ideas of taking old things laying around and bringing them up to something new in your life! No extra charge~

A Mini Vacation ★★ [Jewelry making + Trouble (´；ω；`) ]

If you follow me on tumblr, you'll know I've been up at my Aunt's house since Sunday.

We're working on cleaning out her craft room, and whatever she needs to get rid of I can have!

But if you follow me you'll also know that Monday morning I had a little accident

 Every day til about 2pm I'm alone here, so when I woke up the first morning It was just me and my aunt's two dogs. *A* Well, I think they were pretty startled that someone was actually home! 

When I went to let one of the dogs, Toby, smell my hand, and then pet him he bit me :C

You can see the picture here *A*

Basically my whole hand is bruised, and my index finger's nail is cracked :c

A bling bandaid to make things better!

Anyways! Since my aunt had to get home early do to the incident, we went out for sushi at Ichiban and then went to watch Bridesmaids. It was pretty funny!

When we came home we started working on her room

just one day and I aleady had a HUGE box! I'll do a sort of post haul when I get home <3

Yesterday, we didn't clean, but I got a jewelry lesson in wiring~

A heart, swirls, and a simple dangle!

But my favorite to make was the "love knot"

Time to go work on summer assignments!

Hope the weather is good where you are

It's great here!

See you June 22nd!

Hello Hello!

I was wanting to throw in more blog posts but I'm still rushing to pack :C

Yesterday I started and finished a phone case though!

I decided to be more organized this time LOL

This probably took the longest, but I was content! It was my first time really putting in a sort of pattern : >

I got nervouse at this point, but I got positive feedback so I kept going.

There's usually one point in time where I think everything is absolute poop ;A;

And here is the finished peice!!

In the end I was so happy, I hope this summer I get to make more cases <3

I also hope when I get back I can see alot new friends!!

But until then please be patient until I get back, and enjoy your summer!

Craft shopping day! (+Making of a Luma doll)

Finally my performances are over and I can breath!

So last weekend I went on a craft shopping day with a friend. She said she wanted to make Lumas so it just seemed to be the perfect time to his the craftstore!

If you haven't played Mario Galaxy, This is a luma on the top right

I've never played the game before, but it's so cute!

First we ate at this really yummy place called Ono BBQ

We split this, but their breaded Chicken was the best part! We should have just gotten that platter, since we weren't so crazy for the grilled chicken.

There's nothing to interesting about what we did/got while in the craft store.

We sat at Starbucks for awhile so I took pictures and played Super Mario Bros

Note, it was cooler last week. The weather change was making me catch a cold. Now I'm feeling a bit sick again, but I always get sick from projecting after all my plays have finished. 

I suppose that I didn't take any decent makeup pictures. But I used 2 lashes that day. Full sephora ones and these peicey ones from P&C That made the ends fuller.

My friend's little sister brought along her 3DS. It's interesting! you can change the 3d option, which is helpful. It's really confusing to me though, haha. Also, to be honest the appearance isn't to my taste, I love the matte design to my DSi way too much. But the 3DS's game where you can shoot at yourself is super fun!

But, let's just get onto what i got!

I wasn't planning to get alot, but if you take me past the baby fabric section you're asking for my wallet to get empty. I saw this adorable bear fabric!! I might make a pillow out of it, but I don't know. I always find cute stationary at the $1 section too! The photo album will be for purikura. I'm going to scrapbook cute pages!

So if you lovely readers take purikura and want to send me some you definitely should!!

I bought a little bottle of Makeup Forever fixer, I'll review when I use it. My friend and I also got matching butterflies, but her's is a seafoam green, also a little makeup bag. I went to Target for new pants, and found out for the first time that day the amazing prices ELF has. So I got lots of brushes!! The press powder is too dark for me, but when I apply it with the face brush it's just a warmer glow. I also got a contour brush.

And for the luma plushie! My friend got both pink and blue fabric. This was our first luma and it was hard to make so we could only make a pink one at the time, lol.

I did alot of the sewing of the luma, Nhi went on to cutting out eyes, and sewing those on, if you can't tell what her nails are, they're sakura. They're super cute, you can see a photo here!

And the finished result!

After AP testing we plan to make and sell them. For people at school though, idk if we'll sell online, we'll see how bored we are this summer I guess!

Speaking of summer, I plan to tell you guys some great products to use for this summer.

Until then, see you later!

xoxo,

Rei

ps.Sorry if this post is a little messy! I have a bad headache ; u ; <3

Happy Easter! (Liz Lisa top + goodies!)

 

Hope everyone is enjoying their Easter! Make sure to tell me how yours went in a comment <3

 

Usually, I go to see family on Easter, but my Grandpa has been in the hospital

Please wish him well!

So, This morning I woke up to a basket of Chocolates, Despicable Me, and a cute Hello Kitty

And as you can see I get a little over happy when The easter items come out in the craft stores.

I got the bunny awhile ago when Easter items first came out. Also, when I went shopping yesterday (which I'll post all about soon in a separate post!) I saw these Easter magnets

The neck of my lamp is magnetic so I keep finding magnets for it. I think I'll take the flowers off, there's also eggs more down : >

Oh, and let's not forget! My Liz Lisa top came in the mail a few days ago from the lovely Mina

I'm in love love love!!!!

Image quality is poor, I know. I'll get a better photo soon. I love it so much <3

Liz lisa is an amazing Brand from Japan and it's quality for the clothes is absolutely high

My sister pointed out how vibrant the color is, and it feels so nice from the silk (?) base under the lace.

I plan to get alot more Liz Lisa things!

And as I mentioned I went shopping Yesterday, I'll be making another post about that soon after I study for a final I have tomorrow and do vocabulary. Me and my friend were successful in making an adorable Luma! 

Have a great Easter!!
