Colorful crochet hooks!

Finally I bought them, the colorful crochet hooks I've been drooling for a while now! Look how cute they are!!

The sizes of the hooks are pretty big, 5,6,7,8 and 10 (mm), so they are planned for bigger and thicker projects. I've been thinking about crocheting carpets! I got the idea from my friend who said that she would also like to start crocheting, by making carpets. I have no place to put them yet though, so I think I'm gonna wait until next spring when I move out this tiny shithole, to (hopefully) live together with my boyfriend! <3

I finished one baby-project again <3 I have crocheted.... *counts* 5 presents for my future nephew/niece now! :DDD three more presents to come ^^ after that I could crochet something for myself as well :D and I should also bring my Etsy-shop back to life, I only have one product there atm >___<

Outfits with a corset

Yooo, just wanted to show a couple of outfits from last week. Both are with a corset :D

Corset - handmade by me

Shirt - MicMac

Corset - handmade by me

Shorts - Cubus

Pink tights - Cyber Shop

I noticed that the corset is broken ;___; One of the bones is sticking out from the seam -___-;; Oh well, luckily it fixable! 

More shopping @ HELLsinki + holiday

Last week I was visiting Porvoo/Helsinki/Vantaa. In Porvoo I visited my uncle and his family, and after that me and my boyfriend went to Vantaa to visit his cousin's family, as always. On Thursday we went to Helsinki to do some shopping! Actually, he arrived at 2pm on Thursday and I had arrived there already at 11am, so I pretty much did my shopping alone. Meh. 

Once again. two of the pictures are in the wrong position, sorry -___-;; Stupid mofo-blogger...

Pink shorts 15€
Halloween 3, 5€
BB-cream 11€
Pink tights 7€
Black tights 10€

I have used all my foundation now, it lasted for maaaaany years 'cos I only use it when I go out to party :DD They make my face feel heavy and dirty, so I don't want to use them every single day @__@ Now I had to buy a new one, and I have heard that the BB-creams are ok so I wanted to try one as well! I bought it from Anttila. I tried this Rimmel's cream on my skin (hand), and it felt veeery soft and nice *-* I hope it does the same to my face :D We will see on Saturday! (going to party with my friends <3) 

HALLOWEEN 3!! From 1982. How lucky I was to find this one accidentally from Anttila *___* I will have them all! Sooooon... ish. 

Finally! Pink net-tights *____* I have wanted these for so long, and now I finally got them! I'm gonna wear them with normal black tights, it's gonna look epic!! 8D I would have wanted bigger holes, but Cyber Shop only had these, so I decided to buy them anyway 'cos I didn't wanna wait any longer :DDD  

These ones I bought for my sister's wedding. Which means I'm NOT gonna open the package before the wedding day, I know I'm gonna break them -______-;;; They are from Cyber Shop as well.

Aaaaand of course I had to get more shorts! :DD PINK!!! <3 I bought these from Cubus. I love that shop *___* It's not alternative fashion, but still they have a lot of lovely clothes!! They opened a store in Jyväskylä as well, which is very nice ^^

I was also supposed to buy contact lenses. I have dreamed about them for a long time as well, but I haven't bought any 'cos I'm too scared to put them in my eyes XDDD fail... This time I didn't buy them 'cos I was invited for a photo shoot in Helsinki in the end of this month. It's a modelling agency called Jade Model, that "hires" models for different kinds of commercials. Actually the agency doesn't hire anything, it's their customers that do :D I have to pay for the photos so they will put them to their websites where the customers can look at them and choose a model that they like. It's gonna be very interesting O__O I have never done any kind of modelling before so we'll see how it goes. And even if I will pay for the photos it doesn't mean I will get the gigs.. But you have to take risks in life!! :D

While I was visiting Porvoo, me and my uncle and my cousin went to a zoo, Korkeasaari in Helsinki ^^ I love that place <3 We took a shitload of pictures, almost 200 XDD I also found a new lovely animal there! GUNDI. Oh my god they're so cute ;__; 

JUST LOOK AT THEM ;_____; <3 The ears <3 hihihihi

What else what else.... I've been crocheting like crazy!!! Baby stuff <3 Unfortunately I can't show them to you yet 'cos they are kind of a wedding gift for my sister and her fiancé (they might check my blog through Facebook). and yes, I'm going to be an AUNT!!!! <3 But I will post a lot of crocheted baby clothes after the wedding XDDD 

Oh and! It's my boyfriends birthday today!! 24 years he is. We're going to the movies to watch Hangover 3. I have no idea what to expect :DDD I didn't like the second one so much... I mean, it was funny and shit but... It just didn't work :DDD And I have heard that they're not even having a bachelor party in this new movie so what's the fucking point?? Oh well, we'll see :D

oops, this post became long. Sorry! 8D

Anna hyvän kiertää/Craft-challenge!!

This post is both in Finnish and English, just in case ^^ I found a very nice challenge!

Eli löysin siis eräästä blogista tosi kivan haasteen, tätä samaa käsityöhaastetta on tullut nähtyä silloin tällöin myös Facebookissa! Eli tämän blogitekstin kolme ensimmäistä kommentoijaa tulee saamaan multa jotain käsintehtyä (=virkattua) vuoden sisällä. Ideana olisi myös se, että mikäli kommentoinut henkilö omistaa blogin ja edes jonkinlaisia käsityötaitoja, hän osallistuu myös itse haasteeseen jakamalla sen blogissaan (tai FBssa).

Eli, osallistut haasteeseen kommentoimalla tähän tekstiin jotain, ja ilmoittamalla nimesi ja osoitteesi mulle sähköpostiin carmilla_x@hellokitty.com. Pystyn virkkaamaan oikeastaan mitä vain kunhan vain ohjeet löytyy, joten toiveissa oikeastaan vain taivas on rajana (jos sekään kun aikaa on kuitenkin vuosi :DD). Tosin sen verran sanon, että jos oot toivomassa multa jotain kilometrin pituista huivia tai maahan ulottuvaa neuletakkia, niin sitten kyllä joudu veloittamaan lankojen hinnan. Muuten käsityöt pyritään antamaan ihan lahjana.

Eli ei muuta kuin kommentoimaan, nopeat syö hitaat!! ^^

-----

The idea of this challenge is to make some sort of craft for the first three people who comment on this text. In my case it's crochet, and I have one year to make the craft for the person. I have seen this challenge also in Facebook every now and then, and this time I decided to join ^^ It would be nice if the people who comment have a blog or FB-account and any crafting skills, would also take part in this challenge by sharing it at their blog or Facebook.

So, just send a comment in this text and send your name and address to me by email, at carmilla_x@hellokitty.com. I can crochet pretty much anything as long as I have instructions, so only he sky is the limit :DD I must say though, that if you are willing to have a big-ass scarf or a huge jacket or something else that is enormous, I must ask you to pay for the yarn. Otherwise, the idea is to crochet presents ^^

So, bring it on! Give me comments so let's see who are the lucky ones! 8D

We Heart It -challenge

Yayy! I got a challenge! From a lovely friend of mine, Liisa, Thank you! *-* 

The idea of the challenge is to answer 10 questions by using pictures from a website called We Heart It. The challenge took a loooong time to make, mostly because the website was a real pain in the ass XDD It was lagging all the time, and sometimes it was a bit hard to find things that I like here :D But I managed! Here it is:

1. The hair of your dreams

 

Long and silver with a liiiiitle bit of purple in it *_____* Unfortunately, I don't think I will ever get my hair to be like that..... I have a feeling that it will work only with people who have naturally blonde hair ;__; My own haircolor is so dark and it hassome red pigment in it so pfffffffff......

2. A city of your dreams

London. I have been there once and I fell in love with it completely. It's so beautiful and people are amazing there. If I would move abroad, I think I would move there.

3. The apartment of your dreams

pffffffffff, if I had money like garbage, I wouldn't buy myself an apartment, I would buy a fucking mansion. For real. Or build one :D But I do prefer very old mansions, so I believe I would just renovate one <3 mmmmm.... 

4. Your favourite clothes

 

 mmm.. Alternative fashion <3 I'm still very much in love with gothic and other alternative styles, but I myself prefer wearing jeans and T-shirts nowadays :D I have noticed that I don't wear skirts so much anymore, and fluffy skirts I don't wear at all, or very seldom. I still wear corsets though, and I love dresses! *-* But I'm still making sure that my clothes stand out from the crowd and are from alternative clothing brands!

5. What you like to do on your freetime

MEMES <3

SLEEP <3

BEING ANTISOCIAL.

DRINKING.

6. Things you'd like to own

Money. Shitloads of it.

A proper computer that would actually work...

 

7. A person you would like to look like

Rose Shock. She's so fucking gorgeous and stunning and beautiful and skjhsöhgsfjhghlägfh. AND her make-up skills are beyond amazing... If you haven't heard of her yet, you really should check out her blog.

 

8. The man of your dreams

80's rocker with long hair and tight jeans. Just look at Bret Michaels in this one......... Holyfuckingshit. <3 Why does my boyfriend have to hate 80's rock... WHY ;___; 

9. You as a cartoon character

 

The neurotic Alice. Ok, it's not really a cartoon character, it's a video game character, but oh well... When I was playing Alice: Madness Returns, I could relate to her completely... <3 She's trying her best to be sane and to get better, but her mind is still in million pieces. I'm living in my own Wonderland myself sometimes... 

10. Random picture 

<3 So cute. My mood has been a bit dark lately, so I searched pictures with a word "grotesque". mmm, I love grotesque things <3

I would like to challenge the following people:

Saku <3

ЯOi - ☆

Vivian

Vania

Mirppuli <3

Koala 

And anyone who wants to give this challenge a try!! ^^

Eyelash fail....

Soooo, my eyelashes arrived! In time, thank god. 

Where would I start... @___@ Well, first of all, I was very satisfied with the products, they were very pretty and cute etc. The upper lashes are ok, nothing to complain about them, but the lower lashes.......... The fault isn't in the lashes, the fault is in me XD

Thank god they didn't cost much because I think I'm not gonna use them... At least not that often, maybe for some "special occasion", like in gyaru make-up or something. Gyaru make-up... on me? HHA. Never. The lower lashes just don't look good on me ;___; They made me feel very uncomfortable and they wouldn't stay still at all 'cos my eyes have this fucking leak all the time because of spring allergy -____-;; 

Here are the results, pffff...

Here's a picture with glasses on. I was planning to use the upper lashes every day, but when I actually saw them and put them on, I realized that they are way too dramatic for every day life :DD They hit my glasses all the time so it feels very uncomfortable @__@ So, I'll just use them when I go to party, lol. At least I have a shitload of party lashes now XDDD The other lower lashes looked ok and I almost learned to like them, but they just don't stay still so they made me a fucking nerve wreck.. 

yes, I know my eyebrows are fucked up -______-;; 

Here the other one is already falling off...

And here you can see the lower lashes... so uhh........ no. no, NO NO NO.

But now I feel like trying a gyaru make-up! XD Just for the lolz.... 

Ring bearer's pillow

More wedding stuff! :DD sorryyy... I just wanted to show you guys a ring bearer's pillow that I made. For my sister's wedding, of course :D

Ta-dah! 

I think it turned out pretty cute. I lost my nerves with it though -___-;; There were some annoying parts that were a bit hard, but I managed. I didn't have any patterns for this, I just had the image inside my head :DD

The materials are high quality, the fabrics were a bit expensive. The satin was 20€/m, and the lace was 49€/m @___@  But because it's a small pillow, it didn't become that expensive, I just needed small pieces of the fabrics so they cost only 10€ in total. The ribbon cost 50 cents and the flower-ish decoration was 3€. I had to travel all over the fucking Jyväskylä to get the right materials -___-;; Oh well, luckily I did, because I'm very satisfied with the result ^^

What do you guys think? :D  

My bridesmaid dress arrived!!

Oh my god, I just received a package from DHL which included the dress I ordered for my sister's wedding. I was so nervous to open it, I was afraid that it looks terrible or is the wrong color or something XD Luckily, All my fears were wrong *___* The dress is absolutely gorgeous, it looks exactly the same as in the picture, it's the right color and the right size :D

This is the picture on eBay:

And this is the picture I took after opening the package. It looks shapeless 'cos the lacing in the back is loose and it's hanging, but trust me, it looked good when I tried it on! I'm gonna post better pictures of my outfit after the wedding :D

Because the dress was made and arrived from China, it was crazy cheap :D 65€ including shipping! The dress itself cost only 35€ but because the shipping was DHL Express, VERY fast, the shipping costs were almost as much as the dress :D But I don't mind!

I have always been very pleased when I have ordered stuff from eBay. I still have a few packages to come, the eyelashes I ordered. I really hope they will arrive during this week, otherwise it's gonna be problematic 'cos I'm leaving Jyväskylä again >__< The post office keeps the packages for only two weeks, after that they will send it back to the seller. I really hope this won't happen 'cos I have no idea if I will get refunds then o_o argh, goddamn custom problems... Without them the eyelashes would have arrived already >___<

TONGUE BARBELLS!

yaaaaaaaaaaay, I finally got my package from CRAZY FACTORY *__* I have been waiting for this moment for so long already: to be able to change the original tongue barbell to a shorter one @__@ I lost my nerves with the original one 'cos it was so long. I was playing with it all the time :DD

This is what the package included:

The barbells and a cute sticker!

I ordered 10 barbells and 8 balls/attachments. The price was 26€ in total, it's CRAZY. So cheap! I took the next pictures from the Crazy Factory's website 'cos my camera isn't that great in photographing tiny items >___<

I'm in love with every single one of them *___* I'm also able to use my small Hello Kitty box now! I decided to put all the barbells in it so they won't get lost ^^

I decided to change the purple one first!

If you have piercings and haven't shopped at Crazy Factory yet, I really suggest you to do so, it's so cheap it's almost ridiculous :DD The cheapest item in my order was 17 cents (yes, CENTS) and the most "expensive" one was 2,80€.
