Now that grad school is over, I vow to take better care of my health. More sleep, realistic deadlines, more exercise (and adventures), and less agonizing over the things that make me feel less than worthy. One step in that direction has been finding skin/hair care products that are totally coconut free (along with the many other things I'm allergic to), its been a struggle to find products but my skin is thanking me for it!
What a lovely day. I was granted a lovely long lie-in while J taught C about cricket (and about losing at cricket), then we met friends for lunch. Back home for proper Alpha Mummy craft session, making peg dolls from a kit given to C for her birthday. Glam fairy peg dolls with sequins, naturally.
A few years ago, I started making new felt ornaments every holiday season. And last year, I discovered sequins. Now I'm obsessed, so I added a tutorial for using sequins to the &Stitches blog so everyone else can get obsessed, too.
The bodice of my dress has a large section full of red and blue sequins, which beautifully sparkle in the light.
I really love my curve hugging minidresses! The let me show off my curves and my legs!
This blue themed ensemble is centered around this lovely aqua sequined minidress that came in recently from greatglam.com along with these super shiny Platino Luxe 40 denier pantyhose from shapings.com over Hanes Alive Barely There pantyhose and finished off with sparkly blue peep toe platform pumps with 5" heels from electriqueboutique.com.

I love the attention to detail of the facial/hair accessories in this cosplay outfit!
This was taken on a photo outing with Jeremy -- see his version.
(I was just thinking today what a luxury it was, photography-wise, to be able to shoot in public in Japan. So many subjects will happily pose for you or ignore you while you take as many shots of them as you want. They never question you about what you want to use the images for, either. And then, quite the opposite of Japan, there was today's experience in Martin Place in Sydney's CBD. I wanted to do some street photography with fill flash to ensure I got better exposures of the front of my subjects when they were lit from the side or behind. But everyone I shot got really angry that I photographed them, including one who came back and demanded that I delete the photo I had just taken of him. It was almost fate that my lens electronics were playing up, forcing me to stop...I don't know that I could have handled any more anger or abuse during one photoshoot!)

This week's theme is sequin dresses - I love the glitz and sparkle! The most popular sequin dress will re-appear in an all-winners week early next month, along with the winning animal print dress and summer skirt and top outfit! The rules are exactly as before - no rules! Just say which dresses you like best, and the most popular one wins. All forms of bribery, multiple voting, offers of sexual favours and so on, are also 100% allowed!
Having followed and admired this girl for some time, I finally got to meet the gorgeous Chloe Martin. It was an absolute pleasure to chat with her and I hope we can do more of that in the near future.
APPROXIMATE RELEASE DATE: 2016
PERSONAL FUN FACT: This is definitely one of my favorite outfits I own for my Girl of Today dollies. It's so simple, yet so chic! I'm so grateful that I got it on Cyber Monday 2016 for only $12. This outfit was an even better deal that the Pale Pink & Tweed ensemble, because it even came with a hair accessory. This headband is such a cute little detail--I like that it has a red bow on it. The American Girl headbands always look way too small when they are not being worn by a doll, but rest be assured, they do stretch over the doll's head just fine. The shirt is a very thin material, which is almost a bit sheer. But the detailed embroidery work really makes it look exquisite. I also love how it has bright red stitching detail, to tie the whole outfit together. The skirt is the best quality item from this set. It's bedazzled in sequins...which seem to be securely sewn on (although with rough play, there is a chance some might come off). I love how each of these pieces is simple, yet stunning at the same time. They would match a variety of other clothing items, but would also enhance just about any ensemble. The little red shoes remind me a bit Dorothy's from the Wizard of Oz...of course instead of the shoes being sparkly, the skirt from this set is!
This Christmas bauble was hand beaded with sequins and pins by me. I have a Christmas tradition. I bead Christmas baubles for a select group of friends every year.
Each bauble is 15 centimetres in diameter and contain hundreds of sequins, varying in number depending upon the complexity of the pattern and the type of sequins I use. Most sequins in this bauble are 5mm in diameter, except for the stars which are 10mm. Depending upon the colour of the sequin, I will use either a gold or a silver pin to attach it to the bauble. I always leave the hearts and stars until last, allowing a gap in the sequin chain to pin them in.
These baubles are smaller than some others I do, however because it is a complex pattern which starts from the inside and is worked outwards in ever larger circles, each bauble takes approximately 2 to 2 1/2 hours per side.
It is however, a labour of love which I do to pass the time throughout the year.
An Active Assignment Weekly reject, but I like it - it's part of the sequins sewn onto a skirt I have, very festive!
