Tues diy: Oz disco shoes

Oh, it just hit me, It's Tuesday! My connection to the world is rather small these days since I have exams. I Passed one earlier today and i have one on Thursday.

I would really like to share some new diy's with you (my probably still non existing readers), but the time issue (exam/reading up issue) makes it hard for me to find time for finishing anything (I have one and a half sock, some peices to a watermelon earrings and a watermelon necklace, half of a embrodery with skulls and an airship, and so on!)

But here is and old project, some green glitter shoes that looks like they could be in the wonderful, green city of Oz:




I have a pair of ruby red ones to! Dorothy, YES somehow I don't have any pictures of them, I will might add some later.

I will try to update sometime around the weekend, when my exams are finished!

Tues diy: VHS clutch

Sorry for the late Tues diy post, but since there's probably not anyone following this blog yet I think well all survive.

What to do with all the VHS films that you're not really going to see ever agian?

I made this, and got this idea a couple of years ago, thought I would make a Instructables.com, but never really got around to it (like a lot of other stuff). I think that maybe i sort of stole the idea from a girl who made a wallet with a cassette tape, but I can't find the instructions in my giant bookmark library.

Well for some photos:



It took a lot of hard work with a sharp knife and a lot of hot glue, it has some problems with the zipper be course I'm a idiot who got hot glue in the teeth's of the zipper, but it works and it looks awesome, if wasn't so much work I would make a ton of them with different colours of felt lining!

Qiuck diy

I know it's Wednesday, but I just made this quick diy that I really want to share!
Took around 10 minutes to make, easy!

Inspired by a picture I had on my computer, think the original is topshop, well its grey and oversize.
Well MORE skulls of doom to the people!

Choose diy

Well I haven't posted since some time in the middle of last week, and I thought I would make it a weekly thing to post one of my diy's on Tuesday, and call it Tues diy, as in choose diy (not the most clever word play I ever came up with, but then again English isn't my native language). It won't be a how to, but more show off, but if I created it from some instructions I will link to them.

First of I'm going to start with this:

Its a dress I created a year ago, it's inspired by my mom's partisan dress (the sewing runs in the family). They are really different and I don't have a picture of her dress, but the idea of using partisan/palestine scarfs was hers/mine/ours/mine/some other persons (??) idea. Well i really don't know and i doubt were the first ones drawn to the graphic woven scarf's.

And if you thinks this looks freezing I can assure you, I could not feel my toes afterwards!

Over and out

First Post

Woaw okay, I finally pulled myself together to actually write my first post.
This blog has been planned for an eternity and I've been pushing this post in front of me for moths, mostly be course I haven't made a description of the blog and I'm not at all happy with layout.


So a lot of change is going to happen, but probably not in the first couple of months be course I'm secretly a slacker.

Well as a short introduction I can tell you that the intention with this blog is an outlet/show off of my creative DIY/style/inspiration stuff-ish and maybe a little
advertisement for my (quite empty) Etsy shop.
