Vacation~

Hello again~

Finally after half a year of no free days besides the holidays like Christmas and such, I finally finally finally have a week of no school~ it feel so great~
I finally get to do some things I have been wanting to do for quite some time. Like starting on fixing the maid costumes, making new maid costumes for the new maids and Marimite school uniform costumes we are most likely going to wear to the dutch yaoi con.

I got a few totally cool things this week.
Like the Kera magazines I ordered at the Nakano web shop. I have ordered my gothic lolita bibles there before, but sins I want to look at more styles then just gothic and lolita I have started ordering Kera as well (if they have Egg and Razuki and magazines like that I would probably order them as well)














I had to get a few things in town today and because I didn't feel like going home just yet I went to a few other stores. And they just had some of the cutest things. Like these hello kitty buttons. I just can't help it. I'm a bit of a hello kitty addict. I wanna use this buttons on shirts for my exams collection, so I feel a bit less guilty about buying them.











And while going into my favorite cheap bookshop I found a book about fashion. And the thoughts behind it. Which is something I have been wondering about lately so it must have been ment to be or something haha.

Being a total Hello Kitty addict I subscribed to the Happy Newsletter (or something along those lines) at Sanrio.com. And with doing that I got a free Hello Kitty calender download. And it is just the cutest calender ever. And a perfect calender to cross away the days I have left until I have to do my collection presentation. I have to present the idea's I had for my collection to a group of teachers and professionals. And honestly? I have no idea what to do yet T-T.

Well sins I can't upload any more pictures at the moment I am going to stop here :)
Till next time *waves*

New week

Yesh an other new week is starting tomorrow. And I am going to do a lot of things.

One of the things I am going to do is write an entry on my visiting the open days of the AMFI in Amsterdam last Saturday. I have to say I had a lot of fun and I got an better idea of what I want to do after I've graduated from this school.

For school I have to keep working hard on my exams, which are coming along quite fine if you ask me (but its only been the first week, so who knows) I decided on the brand name I am going to use for my collection. O-Hime-Sama, or OHS for short. Cool no??? Just now I had this really cool idea for a logo, too. Now I still have to think of the kind of collection I want to design under it. Its so hard having to use a fashion prognoses.

And tomorrow we're getting cake baked by one of my school friends. Why you may ask? She and I made this deal that if I 'saved' her from having to go eat fast food with some of our other friends (they go to this snack bar 3 times a week), she would buy me cake. Well she baked it, actually, but cake is cake, and cake is something I love. I'll tell how the cake was, if we life to tell the tale (she always says eating home made food by her is suicide).

eto~ anything more I can think of right now?
I wanna get to sewing so I will probably do that. I thought of making some home sewn birthday presents, so I might think those things out. Working on the maid costumes is a must, so thats a top priority this week. I might just post the end result of how the collars worked out.

First day of a whole new half year

Hello minna,

So. Today was the first day of my exams. We got our project book and they explained roughly what was in the project book. Lucky we get to "start our own cloths line" this yea without having to fight for it :D so yay. I'm really looking forward to doing this stuff, though of course I am quite nervous as well. I kind of have an idea what I want to do for my collection, but we have to do research for it. If it will sell and what kind of people will buy it and why and why we thing its the a good idea to make THIS collection and not a different one. I want to do something with dolls for an idea, but not necessarily the cute cute fluffy fluffy ones. Think the more dark ones. If the fashion prognoses for 2011 (which we HAVE to use for our collection idea's) allow it I want to take it to a black/white and print theme. I'll find a way if thats not in the 2011 prognoses to do it anyways =D the persistent ones always get there way, no?

After the explanation and everything they had arranged for us to go to a high tea. The place we went to was called "Het paradijs" and it looked really pretty. It was like a small green house. And you know what the most amassing thing was? The person who build it actually lived there.

Isn't it pretty? The tea was quite nice (though the serving people didn't know what kinda tea it was, I think) and they had cakes and scones and sandwiches and those kinda things. it was yummy, but there was more then we could eat, haha.

Ooh I almost forgot. This morning it was snowing like really really heavily, so much even that my dad canceled going to sports (which really means a lot) and the bus wasn't getting through the traffic either. So we had to go to the train station by bike (me and a friend). It was really hard to bike because it was really slippery and everything. and when we finally almost made it to the train station, I fell. I made this really really nice slide, too =D . It was really funny (no I didn't hurt myself, thats why it was funny). And my friend fell to because she was afraid she'd bike over my hand if she kept on going. Luckily she missed my hand. But we where laughing about it when we where still on the ground. And some people that came after us where like "Are you okay??". I think it might have looked like quite a fall. I donno if I have any bruises... I might. And even though we fell and took quite long to get to the train, we actually made it on time *cheers*. We where the first one at school from our class, even, haha.

On a different note:
I had a few more idea's for shirts this weekend. A few really really cool ones.
And I kind of started on my dress. I made a base. And I thought out some problems I where having this night (I know, I'm supposed to sleep at night, but... I can't help but thinking about cloths at night, really I can't)

O yea. We had a meeting of the Maids this weekend, too. The maids?? I hear you think. Yes, maids. I am part of the Dutch Maid team called sparkling potpourri (http://www.sparklingpotpourri.com/). We had a meeting to discuss some things that had to be done and we talked about some things that might be good idea's, or might not be. I'm having a lot of fun with the maids. I'm looking forward to the next time we're having the maid cafe on a convention again.

I think that is all for today :D
Till next time
