Shop Update ~ Zines, Stickers, Strawberry Tote Friend

Zines! Stickers! Cute fella! All new for your buying pleasure ^_^





Two new zines. I've been desperate to make some new zines recently but kept tripping over myself trying to figure out what they should be about. So to get me going I made one with no theme and one that is stuff from July, nice and easy. I'm glad I did them too, I really love making zines, the layout, the printing, the folding, the stapling. Uh, I could do it forever. (During August, if you buy something else from my etsy but mention the July zine I'll put one in your order for free.)

This cutie is in my Society6 and Redbubble shops. I'm not sure where he came from but I'm glad he turned up.



It turns out I get a similar joy out of making stickers as I do zines. There's just something about the combination of creating and paper, gives me those fuzzy feels. These come in four different sets; kawaii, hungry, negative and positive vibes.

I hope you're having a good weekend ^_^

Let's Make Stuff ~ Hand Painted Patch

Making things always makes me so very happy so I wanted to share some makes on here with you. Here is how I made my hand painted Ladybaby patch.



Once you've decided the thing you're a fan of that you want to show off about you will need:
a way of getting the logo onto your fabric, I printed it at home and then traced it onto the fabric with a pencil the same colour as the paint I would be using (so you can't see the pencil later). You could hand draw it, use transfer paper, whatever you have available to you :)
fabric
paint
paintbrush
water and tissue (for cleaning the brush)
thread
needle
scissors

If sewing isn't for you then use fabric glue, you could even use some paint and decorate the edges of the patch seeing as you don't have the stitches making colours there. Blobs of glitter glue would be great.
Also don't worry if you need to simplify the design depending on how agile you are with a brush. It's meant to be fun, don't stress over it being a 'perfect' copy just enjoy the making :)

Literally one or two days after I made this patch Ladybeard announced he wasn't a part of Ladybaby anymore and Ladybaby released a video as 'The Idol Formerly Known As Ladybaby" so as always I am current and on trend. Whatever lol, I still wear it with pride, Ladybaby were awesome while they existed ^_^

Putting My Feet In The Sea

Mum and dad came to visit the weekend after my birthday and when they asked what I would like to do I said to put my feet in the sea, so we went off to Cromer :)






And put my feet in the sea I did. I could stand in the sea all day, I love it so much.











Thoughts of chips covered in salt and vinegar persuaded me to leave the beach and we went in search of food.




It was worth it. Those chips were goooood ^_^



There are goats living on the cliffs for grazing! They were chilling out on a ledge, it was a pretty hot day. I'd love to see them roaming about on the steeper sections.




On the way home we drove round the coast and stopped off at Happisburgh.




I've only been once before, a few years ago, and how much more it's eroded is so strange. Places I remember standing are literally not there anymore. Coasts are scary business. Apparently you need to be careful in the water because of debris but it's still a beautiful beach (I don't have a photo of where you would hang out but trust me, it looked lovely) and there's the lighthouse to see too.





As well as taking me to the seaside they also added to how lucky I was on my birthday and gave me some great presents and bought cake so, you know, it was a pretty awesome weekend. Thank you mum and dad ^_^

Here's a video also so you can see the sea in motion.

I Got Older ^_^

Last week I had a birthday and it was lovely. I was oh so lucky and got many a lovely gift and I spent the day with Will in the city catching Pokemon (I got a Gloom!) and just generally chilling out.





This was such a good lunch. Those crisps are some sort of vinegar and chilli flavour vegetarian 'pork crackling' that's actually made from peas, it's sooooo good. Also see my new Pusheen bag (from Will's grandparents, thank you!) and my new Twilight mirror (from William). Told you I'd been oh so lucky, and that was just the tip of the lucky iceberg ^_^



We also got to see the touring piece The Aftermath Dislocation Principle by Jimmy Cauty which was outside The Forum for a few days. It's a shipping container with little viewing holes in the sides and inside is a miniature scene of a town after a riot. There's police radio sounds and the lights change in there like a helicopter searchlight. It was really cool. You can see some clips of it in my video.







We went up some roads we normally wouldn't and it was pretty.





Those My Little Pony hair clips were another gift from Will. I hit the My Little Pony jackpot, he found me so many bits ^_^







We had our temporary tattoos on because we're super cool.



My birthday gift to myself. She's one of my favourite ponies so I just had to get this lip balm even though it's probably awful to actually use. But I still will because I'm committed to my purchases lol.



Will decorated a cake for me and it was Gudetama!!! We can't really find any Gudetama stuff here, unless you buy it online but I love him. I was so very pleased with this cake. Look at that butt!!





The video is just random clips from the day, just like the photos but in video form with the extra perk of Will being a cow.


I had a lovely day and felt very grateful for the lovely presents I got. My parents came down at the weekend so there was more birthday to come too ^_^
