Badge a Week Project (Badge #5)

Wow, we're up to Badge #5 already!
This week, the badge is SUPER CUTE!
I think this teacup is mega adorbz!
I'm not a big tea-drinker, but I love teacups, like this pretty little stripy one.
I got this badge at a market (sorry, I forgot which one!) and I love it!
Comment if you agree!

Meet Monty!!!

Please, let me introduce you to my newest buddy! (well, kind of...)
His name is Monty, and he's a little bit shy. Please make him feel welcome.

I made Monty one Saturday, when I was feeling bored.
He has bright blue eyes,
A yellow/orange, spotty suit,
And a black bow tie.

He loves fishing and horse riding,
Cooking and playing the piano.
He likes lots of things.
He is very talented.

But, like I said before,
He is quite shy.
He can also be timid, stubborn,
And a bit wimpy.

But I'm sure you will love him,
Like I do.
He is very good friend.
Here are some more pictures for you to enjoy.

(Yet another) website review!!!

Hurrah! I'm so happy to be writing yet another website reveiw!
And this time, it's Rookie!
This website (www.rookiemag.com) is the website for a teen mag created by the well known fashion guru Tavi Gevinson, who shot to fame at the age of 11 with her Style Guru fashion blog.

Rookie features amazing and informative articles about life art and craft, inspiration, DIY, nostalgia, cool ideas to decorate your room and much more. All of the articles and the layout of the website reflect Tavi Gevinson's cool, unusual and quirky style.

This si the Rookie logo:
I actually think that Rookie, being a long-time favourite of mine, was part of what gave Priscilla and I inspiration to start this blog. I am actually flicking between Rookie and Happy Hamburgers right this minute!

I suggest you definitely, totally, most absolutely check out Rookie.
It's pretty, it's cool, it's inspirational, and what can I say? It was created by Tavi Gevinson. THE Tavi Gevinson. Yeah.

Its a little blurry, but it says: Broadford '85.
Its one of my special favourites, which is pretty good considering I own over 100 badges!

How To Make Gorgeous Glitter Feathers!

Don't you think these feathers are god damn beautiful?

Ripped-style leggings + How To Make

Got an old pair of plain leggings? Here's how to make them AWESOME!!!

U Will Need:
- Plain pair of leggings
- Fabric scissors
- A pencil (optional)

How 2 Make Them:
1. Put your leggings on so you have a basic idea of where you need to cut slits (you can use a pencil if you want).
2. Now just cut! If you want to make oval-ish shaped slits, pinch the fabric and cut across.

And that's it!

Half way there:                                                                Finished product:


You can wear your leggings with heaps of other items, like denim jackets, leather boots, Converse or Vans and anything with a bit of glitter on it!

AMAZING BOOK REPORT!!!

Ok, lets just go over all the stuff we've covered so far on this little blog:
- Art and craft
- Website reviews
- How-tos

So it's kind of about time that we did a Book Review! Yay, 'cos everyone likes books! (I think...)

Just yesterday I picked up a pretty sweet book called 'Patterns in Fashion' by Macarena San Martin.
I picked it up because it had translations in French and German, which is kinda fancy, and it comes with a cool CD with 50 PATTERNS/DESIGNS!!!

Anyway, so I bought the book (for $19.99) and I opened it to find pages of gorgeous fabric designs and outfits which featured them! Starry eyed with amazement, I flicked through to find EVEN MORE PATTERNS! AND MORE! AND MORE!
Ok, I think I'm getting a little bit overwhelmed with happiness.
But surely all you nice, creative, fashion-loving people out there can understand what I am trying to describe? This book is like the Bible.

Ooops, I almost forgot!
It looks like this:




















And now I'm just gonna show you guys my three favourite patterns, just so you get an idea of whats inside:





U BETTER BUY 'PATTERNS IN FASHION'!!!

This is pretty much the most random post I have ever written.
Just today I went for a walk and I decided to take a few nice pictures of the flowers I saw as I passed by. Enjoy!










They certainly are a colourful sight!
