27/2/2018 0 Comments KonMari-ing: YarnsI've had a huge yarn collection for many years. I love collecting every variation of a colour and coming up with nice colour schemes. I find crochet....somewhat relaxing (counting stitches is a little bit of a drag).
But... I don't do crochet nearly enough to justify the size of my collection.

23/2/2018 0 Comments KonMari-ing: GuitarsI got my first guitar in 2013, the year after finishing high school. It started off as a present for my sister, but she had little interest at the time in learning the instrument, so I decided to give it a shot. Five years, some lessons and a lot of ultra tabs later, and I’ve built up a collection of five guitars (I’ve owned even more than this, these are just the ones I still have and like). Only problem is, I do not play guitar professionally or often enough to justify this number.
I’ve been doing the KonMari thing on and off for the past several months, and have renewed my interest in a more minimal bedroom environment. Considering my guitars ar stowed away in the closet, it seems I have enough physical distance to gain some clarity about what I should keep or not. In 2016 I did a drawing of a witchy version of my original character Emilia. I was particularly inspired by an artist called Fukari, who had just produced a witch drawing herself.
Mum has done an experiment or two with acrylic pouring, which got me interested in that art form. I like how it doesn’t require such an intensity of thought as other art, it’s more about intuition and luck and being peaceful. So I decided to give it my first shot!
I was at home, in the living room, minding my own business, when the big red blanket caught my eye. Its summer in Australia and yet that slightly smelly woolly mass was still here, sitting on a faux wooden chest and generally getting on my nerves. So I decided to find a home for it, preferably in the linen cupboard.
My collection of liquid lipsticks, as of the tenth of February 2018, totals twenty two.
11/2/2018 0 Comments Haul - All Hail the Trash QueenMy mother, my sister and I set out this morning to go to a garage sale, a church sale, and the markets. Three hours since we came home and I’m still wiped out. We found so much stuff.
Let's look at how a simple concept - shortening web links - can make a big difference in a little nerd's life.
There’s been a pile of sewing projects sitting on the study door for months. It wasn’t my job to handle that stuff, but since my aggressive sewing rampage yesterday - sewing underwires into a one-piece swimsuit - I thought I’d try and knock them out quickly. All three were for my sister.
Two hemmed sleeves and two secured buttons later, I was ready to start something for moi. Working on my Sombra cosplay for Supanova 2018. I’ll be making her Los Muertos outfit, a mix of punk, rave, and Mexican Day of the Dead aesthetics. |
