Follow Me Elsewhere!!!

The apartment is torn apart, things are packed, thrown out or waiting for a place to go.
Vaccines have been given, insurance bought and things cancelled.

This is happening!

I'm going to be away from the computer for a bit, and I'm not sure where I'll be able to post things once I get there. The best way to get updates for now will be through instagram and tumblr, and so I highly suggest you follow me on those for fun updates about adventures and crafty fun in China!

Easily manageable haircut for my travels. 

We went to see Winterlude on Valentine's Day. 

Packing up a book I forgot I had.

Dad's up visiting and helping us move our stuff. Please ignore all the crap in the background. :)

Dry Splatter Mani

I had a lot of fun with this one, also made a grand mess.

Instead of using nail polish and a straw with a normal splatter mani, I used a makeup brush loaded with loose pigment and tapped off the excess onto the nails. 

My colour choices. Next time I'll use much brighter colours, and maybe a base colour instead of clear.

How to:
Apply your base coat to a couple of nails, and start picking colours to put on your brush and tap over the nail so the pigment falls off. Once you figure the polish is probably dry, blow away the excess and add a top coat.

Too big dress to funky apron!

I bought this dress ages ago and it sat in my 'to reconstruct' pile for a very long time. I took it apart, put it partially back together, decided I didn't like my original plans for it and took it apart again. Then it sat for some more time.

Whoa buddy.

The other night I decided to finally make myself an apron and whipped this up. Didn't take too long and it does the trick. See? I already got flour and banana bread batter on it.

{We're still waiting for news on when we may be going.. Hopefully we'll here something soon. I'm put everything half off in the store with the coupon code 'CHINA' so if you're looking at something this will be the last sale for a while!}
