My projects: 1; Comfy Rainbow (Part 1)

Alright, now to my ongoing project. This Saturday I finally started a projects I've been wanting to go for months! A rainbow sweater!
I knitted for a few hours on Saturday, and then almost all day this Sunday. I know I'm a quite slow knitter, but hell, I'm a newbie! Also, since this is only the back piece, I obviously need a lot more yarn. Oh well, hope I get my new credit card soon, since I have absolutely no cash.
Anyway, since I'm such a newbie at knitting, my teacher and I agreed, that I'd just make two separate pieces for the body and then sew them together. So there's a long way to go, but I'm very excited. I'll keep you posted!

Projects?

Congrats blog, you've been upgraded!
Yeah, instead of just being a way of trying to keep me relatively sane, you are now also a blog of my projects.

Now, first I'm going to show a project which was finished on Tuesday, but it's quite special to me, since I made it out of 12 fucking mens shirts from a vintage store. And I actually really ended up liking the result.


On Wednesday night it was in a charity-fashion show called Freestyle Restyle. Sadly, since I didn't get to take pictures of the final version of the dress before or after it went on our super-short catwalk, and because I had to be backstage and dress the model for every outfit she had to wear during the show and , I had to have my dad take the pictures, which he, obviously, really wasn't good at.
Sorry about that.

At the moment the dress is being showed off at a store in Copenhagen called Fisk. I have already made aware of, that I want to buy it myself, but I don't actually know when I'll get it. But when I do, I'll try to take and show you some better pictures.

Two sentences I hate with all my heart

I know I've been very hateful lately, but this is the only way I can truly get it off my chest for good. The reason why I'm bringing these two sentences up, is because I've heard them uncountable many times today.

The first is, "[it] can't always be perfect,". The reason why I hate this sentence, is because when someone says it, they say it in a such obvious tone, that they truly think I've several times before made something perfect. Which I haven't. Never. Not once. It's like they think I'm a perfectionist, but I'm not. I long to be a perfectionist, but I fail every time. Which is why I with every project I start, I strive to reach perfection, and get depressed when I fail. It's not because I'm used to things being perfect, but because I've never made anything that came out perfect.

The second, "[isn't that] neglect", I've been hearing more and more since I started 10. grade. I am very well aware of the fact that my parents tend to neglect me. But people who think this need to be aware, that it started around the time I turned 1. And only got worse and worse after my brother was born when I was 1½. And because of that, I'm used to it, and has always been. Therefore, it's really not difficult for me to not give a fuck. So just let it go.

I hate limited character boxes

Seriously. Now, blogspot's music box can't handle my capacity of favorite artists. It's so fucking annoying! The only place I have left that, so far, haven't turned out to have a character limit is YouTube. So I suppose that that's just one more reason to adore that site.
It just really pisses me off! Music is my life, and so much more, and by putting a limit on that box is like telling me "Hey!... We care more about not having to improve this site than we do about your life. K bye."
Makes me wanna punch someone in the face! But I don't, because I have music. The thing you say I can't share with people, is the only thing that can calm me down when you tell me stuff like that. Ironic, huh?
Think about it blogspot. And every other website that has boxes with character limits.

PS: Fuck you

Doodles

I doodle. A lot. On everything. And everybody. I used to have old notebooks filled with my doodles, but I lost them when I moved into the garage.
Anyhow, this one is from Tuesday night. It's kind of a look into what went through my mind while I was in photo-class at the youth school. Obviously, I wasn't thinking a lot about photographing xD
Anyway, when I doodle on paper, I for unknown reasons start in the middle, and then work my way around the middle in circles.

I hate when things are simple and so plain...

Before

After

... so I bedazzled my headphones :P I know it's a little silly, but hell, what do I care?  I think they're pretty cool. I still don't have anything on the left side, but I'm working on figuring out what to make.

Very old picture taken by me

I looove dolls ^^ Always have. But no, not like Baby Born (Never had any of those), Bratz (Never had any of those either) or Barbie (Did have a few of those though). No, I'm talking about collectable dolls. In my case specifically ball-jointed dolls and Pullips. At the moment I just have one BJD, but she's the only one of that model in the world and she was made specially for Kerli's Tea Party video, even though you don't really get to see her in it too well (But you can see her out in the far left side at 3:16)... I really wanted the Mad Hatter (The one with the big orange-red hair) and I also considered Frieda (Straight blue hair, eye patch, big crown), but they were sold almost immediately. The one I've got is called Bird In Hand, and I named her Akiko, meaning "autumn child" in japanese, partly because I recieved her in the fall. According to Paulette from Goodreau Dolls (The woman and company who designed and made them) she was one of Kerli's personal favorites, but I don't know if this is actually true. Not that I don't trust Paulette, I really do, she seems to be a truly honest and sweet person.

Also, which this post is supposed to be more about, I have two Pullips and one Taeyang, which is the male version of Pullip. The Pullip on the left is the model Lunatic Queen (named Kyoki, meaning "madness" in japanese, at least according to Google translate), the one on the right is the model Eos (named Adelaide, or "Ada", after Ada Lovelace and the character Ada from the Morganville Vampires series) with a new wig and eyechips. The Taeyang, in the middle, is the model Lunatic White Rabbit (named Damon, partly after the character Damon Salvatore from the Vampire Diaries, partly because I just really like that name and felt it was right).
Now, the reason why I'm telling you this, is because I'm making new changes to them, and I didn't want to post it all on my flickr. Here's a list of the changes I'm planning on making.

Kyoki

• New wig, since her stock wig isn't in such good condition anymore, due to being transported a lot back and forth when I go to meets. I don't know what kind of wig I'm looking for for her though.

Ada

• New wig, again. The green wig is not Eos' stock wig, I sold that to my friend Alberte, but I'm not as happy with this wig as I thought I would be. It's pretty, but it just doesn't give her the right look. Luckily, my friend Machi wants to buy it from me, when I find a new wig for Ada, so she's actually looking for blue wigs for her for me xD Although actually, I've been thinking of getting her a red or pink wig , and then get a blue wig for the Papin that I will (hopefully) soon purchase instead.

Damon

• New wig, since I never really liked his stock. I'm already pretty certain which one. It looks kind of like his stock, but it's a lighter color and a lot shorter.
• New eye chips. Planning on keeping them red though. I just want some others, since I think it looks like he's staring a bit too much.

And that's pretty much all. Now, if you're not a doll person, don't worry, I won't constantly post about dolls. If I really feel like I have to, I will, but don't count on it. But if you are interested in dolls, just in general or specifically mine, you can follow me a my doll-obsession on my flickr.

See you ♥
