BLAH

This is a nonsense post sorry, I couldn't fix the problems with the pictures in my EFF post so I'm posting a few here again.

Midwinter Fair

I decided that this year I'd like to check out the midwinter fair at the Archeon. It's a smaller fair than the EFF but I was told that the ambiance is great.
This ofcourse provided me with another opportunity for making *something* for the midwinter fair. I've already started on designs and plans for costumes for the EFF in April so I did not want this project to be too big.

I decided that I'm going to make a cloak.
The picture above shows my design. It will be trimmed with feathers instead of the better known fur trimming. The lining will be an icey blue faux satin like the color of the emblem at the back. I'm not sure yet how I'm gonna do the emblem.
This sunday I'll be shopping for fabrics with Kelsey and her mom. Can't wait to start on this one :D

autumn

When I was younger, my mom and I used to make autumn decorations with leaves and nuts and stuff we'd find during walks through the park or forest.
I wanted to do something like this again.
The only downside to the "all nature" decorations is that they start to shrivell and go bad quite quick. And I am, well, a lazy student XD. So I wanted something more durable. I bought all this at the xenos. It's a cute store. When autumn is over I'm going to put it on display in my kitchen XD. My kitchen has autumn colors and decorations already anyway.
