This Recipe Calls For A Dash Of Magic

After an exciting weekend like that, who wouldn't feel brilliant?

This weekend was simply amazing. I know I promised pictures but I didn't take any on Friday or Sunday because of all the excitement (and the fact I'd forgotten my camera both days D:). But I did take some on Saturday, which I will upload later.

Friday's Rocky Horror Show Performance

The Rocky Horror Picture Show was an amazing experience. I had so much fun getting up and doing the Time Warp, clapping and singing along to the songs and just being there with my great friends from Southampton Anime Society. They are a great lot and I hope to have many more fun times with them.

I even kept my ticket to stick in a scrapbook :3

Saturday's Baking Day

Ok, so we didn't make as much stuff as we planned. But we made cupcakes! And I made butter icing to decorate them with. I want to make some more this week :3 I love decorating cupcakes >w<

Sunday's Day Out with Dave

Avatar in 3D isn't just a movie. It's an experience. It was THAT good. The 3 hour movie didn't feel that long and seeing it in 3D is just... breath-taking. It made me think about what we are doing to the environment, it nearly made me cry and it made me sit on the edge of my seat with my mouth open like an idiot. But yea. If you haven't seen that movie yet, I command you to RIGHT NOW!

Well, after the movie we went to get something to eat. We went to a small Chinese restaurant in town called Ocean Dragon. It is a really nice place to eat, and has a lovely atmosphere. And the good thing is, it's cheap, which is particularly important in this day and age. But yea, it ended up being just over £30 for an all-you-can-eat buffet and drinks for two. Not bad, if I do say so myself. It was very filling and very lovely.

After that, we ended up at Mark's for the rest of the evening. It started with a chat and a bit of Fast and The Furious: Tokyo Drift but that got turned off as no one was paying attention and we put on Youtube. I showed them some cute videos (Sweets Parade from Alice Parade, Dote Up A Cat's opening and True My Heart from Nursery Rhyme) then we watched Vicci and Zoe do the dance from Minna no Tamago (them and two other girls are cosplaying the girls from Shugo Chara! EGG!) and showed off future cosplays.

All in all, a very lovely day that I really really enjoyed. Dave is just a very sweet person *blush*

Love love,

What I'm Currently Working On

This JSK is one that is available from FanPlusFriend, priced $116.

Now, I bet your thinking "Why the hell did she put that there?" and I only did that because it's a really really nice JSK. However, I want to focus on the picture that is to the left. My next project is going to be based on this JSK. I'll be making one similar to it to go with the theme of "Tea Party". The shape will be the same, minus the ruffles at the top. Instead of the diamond and heart shapes, I'll be sewing on teacup and cupcake silhouettes in a blue coloured fabric. I've chosen that colour because I actually have already made a blue teacup headdress to go with the dress.

No makeup D: Beware

I made this headband with a tea set I bought from Early Learning Centre. I just hot glued the teacup to the saucer, hot glued a spoon in and decorated with some brown faux flowers I bought from Fabric Land. The whole thing is mounted on a piece of white felt with embroidery anglais edging around it. Then it was hot glued to a simple clear plastic headband. Looks cute, huh? It's so easy and only cost me around £10 to make. So that headdress is the reason why I chose blue for the silhouettes on the dress. Next I'll talk about the bows. The bows will be made from Cupcakes Blue, Fabricland £2.99 per meter, and edged with white lace. The bottom of the dress will have gathered fabric around the edge and the neckline will have white lace on. All of the ribbon edging will be a brown like the flowers on the headdress (that colour's gotta go somewhere, right?).

First project explanation complete! On to the next...
