I like playing with sweetie wrappers and sellotape

anyway, I wasn't actually going to make anything, I was just kinda playing around the first time..
but I came out with these two..



inside the purse.. I cut out some of clear paper holder (you know, the ones with the  punched holes down the side.. can't remember what they're called) and stuck that on one side so I can keep the bus times there so that I don't lose them! d:



inside the pencil case



thanks for peeking (:

My first go was the Bauhaus one.. funnily enough on the back of a Green Day shirt I bought for 50p from a charity shop. Oh yes, my music taste is just.. funny.
anyway, I did it on the back of that so that I didn't mess up a perfectly good plain t-shirt d:



then I used a peta stencil to do the pig on a reusable shopping bag..



and then a Siouxsie and the Banshees t-shirt.



Oot, oot. Thanks for looking.

I have a huge obsession with bourbon biscuits.. (which funnily, I didn't think were vegan before I went vegan but turned out to be to my happiness..) anywhoo. It seemed appropriate for me to make a giant bourbon for my birthday (tomorrow is the big 1-7  ). It's about the size of a piece of a4 piece of paper.. and no doubt has so many calories I won't be eating for another few years even if I do share it (which will be difficult for me since it's very yummy)..

I was getting angry because everybody was in our cupboard of a kitchen while I was trying to make it.. I thus gave up on any kind of neatness in favour of being able to leave the kitchen.. (hence the dodgy sizing and dripping icing everywhere which wasn't as thick as I had wanted)

Anyway, my anger aside
onto the pictures



the first picture looks the closest to the real colour, this one is rather distorted, I like closeups though so it had to be there (: 
and you can see one of nieces hovering around in the left hand corner of the first photo.. they kept asking me if I liked cake and if it was mine.. and then proceeded to say they didn't like cake. Then as soon as I was walking upstairs I heard the eldest ask my mum if she'd make one for them! xD confusing children!!

woahhs
so (: thanks for looking


eta:
'The Bourbon cream (sometimes referred to as a Bourbon biscuit or just Bourbon) is a sandwich biscuit consisting of two thin rectangular dark chocolate biscuits with a chocolate fondant filling.'

yay for camera timers.. oh and the black is just my bra, it's a boob tube

top close up

skirt close up..with me poking my tummy xD

ah yeah, and the back of the top has this print instead of the black, so I can wear it either way



well that was fun (:

I just wanted to make something fun.. and well, here goes (:

I think I'm going to gather the sides of the bodice with some ribbon to make it more fitted (it's at a size where if I fit it more by sewing I can't just pull it on and off and I'm not good friends with zips to be honest d: )
the skirt is uber short too.. my boyfriend seemed quite excited at the idea of me making a costume so I might just use it to to play around in rather than actually wearing it anywhere (well, ok, minus halloween and such)
they're seperates anyway, so I'll wear the bodice out.. just not the skirt xD

the photo quality seems a bit poor, sorry about that.

a close up of the fabric I loooove



a better view of the back flower print



comments, suggestions, etc welcomed (:

ahh yeah I was considering some light pink sequins on the lines of the bodice.. is that going too far do you think?

A few of these are modified vegweb.com recipes (great site, btw, check  it out if you've not already)

Chocolate cookie things that I don't have a picture of

1/2 cup sugar
1 cup flour
1/3 cup marg

1/2 tbsp vanilla extract
3tbsp cornflour
few tbsps peanut butter (smooth)

- grease baking sheet and preheat oven, melt marg
- mix dry ingredients
- add sifted flour
- pour in melted marg and vanilla extract and stir (but not for long)

they're kinda chewy and such..
I thought they were yummy, though (:

anyways
(: hope you guys enjoy if you try them out

I've only just discovered this board and it's happy times from here (:

so I mushed some red kidney beans on top of a pizza base, chucked on some cheezly (garlic and herb.. doesn't melt as well as mature white cheddar style does though..), sweetcorn, peppers, tomato and mixed herbs.

yummy yummy yummy (:




lolz it stuck to the tray oopay

(whoof- long subject title over d: )

Oks, so I bought this a while ago from a charity shop for about a pound because I fell in love with the print.. the problem is I don't have anywhere to wear it.

So basically
any ideas of how I can make it more casual so that I can actually get some use out of it? d:



and to show the fit.. it needs fitting a bit. excuse my barbie xD

[oh yes, here they are on the hanger (harry potter stickers ftw! d: )]

I was recently given this beautiful fabric and I wasn't entirely sure what to make.. I ended up deciding I wanted to make bloomers.. I didn't make them poofy enough though so I've ended up with ordinary shorts. I like them, though (: I adde little bows on the sides to make them a little more cute (:

oh yes, here they are on the hanger (harry potter stickers ftw! d: )




and on..



and here's a close up of the gorgeous fabric (:

anyway, I've not uploaded anything here for yonks so thought I'd share (:

I'm off to college tomorrow (Ee! ) and being the silly one I am I left it until these last few days to get a bag or pencil case.
Anywho, the bag is basically just black velour and then lined with black satin. Yum.
I used a belt to make the strap although it took me a bit of tinkering for me to manage to make it sit right when it's in use but it's all good now (:




And then for the pencil case I basically followed the 10 minute pencil case tutorial but skipped the zip and sewed a little flap on the material instead. (If I'd have thought a little more before I wouldn't have even needed to sew that *rolls eyes*. Then I just sewed some ribbon on the bottom so you could tie it around (:




Ta-dah!
Oh, and I was really lazy and didn't line or hem the pencil case XD
Ah well d:

(: Thanks for looking
