New fabric, new tags!

New fabrics! I bought these to make totebags, the doll prints are very cute, and the chihuahuas making bento boxes are very funny! This is the result:

I have added them to the catalog, with a new lay-out, perhaps it is less confusing than the other one.

And I also made a new flier, that I will also use for the tags, I found this lovely rococo picture in an old typography book:

And, as promised, I want to show some pictures of what we were selling with my friends at Japan Weekend, every time they make more cute things! Here there are Mavako's dolls:

Yayra's cute rings:

These fabulous prints were a skirt and a bag!

And some mini-hats:

What do you like more?

Doooncs, aquí estan les fotos del Japan Weekend! No en tinc cap de meva i les que vaig fer han sortit fatal perquè la llum era horrible T_T
Però en fi, el que compta és que ens ho vam passar molt bé, que vam vendre molt i tot això... Ja tenia mono d'events jo...

La Candy i la Bloodydoll a l'stand de Lolita in Wonderland:


La Candy:


Vaig flipar quan vaig veure la diadema que s'havia fet Nolaska:


Közi estava espectacular, com sempre amb el seu rollo decadent:


I la Madeleine anava molt guapa en plan victorianoide:


I això és tot! La pròxima vegada pujaré fotos de les coses que veniem, i si algú té alguna foto meva que m'avisi (sobretot si és del diumenge que és l'únic dia que em vaig arreglar xDD)

Pero hoy quería hablaros sobre "El loro de Flaubert", una novela que me aburría mortalmente al principio pero con la que me tronchaba de risa al final. Yo es que soy una persona de extremos. Os pongo algunas de mis citas favoritas, por si hay alguien a quien todavía le queda alguna neurona que no haya matado la tele y/o los videojuegos, y quiere leer:

"La palabra humana es como una caldera rota en la que tocamos melodías para que bailen los osos, cuando quisiéramos conmover a las estrellas."

"A mí no me gustan las coincidencias. Las encuentro un tanto espeluznantes: durante un momento te das cuenta de lo que significaría vivir en un mundo ordenado y gobernado por Dios, un mundo en el que El estuviera todo el día mirando por encima de tu hombro y dejando caer, como quien no quiere la cosa [...] transparentes indirectas acerca de la existencia de un plan cósmico. Prefiero pensar que las cosas son caóticas, que andan a su aire, que están permanente y temporalmente chifladas; prefiero sentr la certidumbre de la ignorancia, la brutalidad y la locura humanas."

"¿Qué sentido tienen los avances científicos si no hay un avance moral? El ferrocarril solo iba a servir para que la gente viajara más, para que conociera a otra gente, y para que fuera conjuntamente estúpida."

"El mayor acto de patriotismo consiste en decirle a tu patria que está comportándose de forma deshonrosa, estúpida, malévola. El escritor debe tener simpatías universales, y ser un proscrito por naturaleza: sólo entonces puede ver las cosas con claridad."

"No se hace Arte con buenas intenciones."

"Flaubert no llora por las víctimas. Siente la misma simpatía por esas víctimas que por los esclavos que murieron muchos siglos antes mientras hacían girar la noria de algún tirano. ¿Le escandaliza? A esto se le llama poseer imaginación histórica. A esto se le llama ser no solamente ciudadano del mundo sino de todos los tiempos."

"El secreto de la felicidad, me dijo, consiste en ya ser feliz."

L'última col·lecció m'encanta, la faldilla d'unicorns és una passada, o sigui que vaig decidir fer-li una mica de propaganda jeje

Sí, avui escric en català perquè és el meu idioma i vull fer un experiment: a veure quanta gent em contesta en català!

Twenties? First try!

We had a meet-up with 30 lolitas!!! And it was carnival, so I wanted to make a twenties look. It was my first try, and I am horrible making hairdos (I had very long hair and I had to make it seem short LOL). These are some photographs that I took for inspiration, the point of fashion was a 1920 cabaret:

And finally, my pictures!

This is what I was wearing:

Corset: Millefleurs
Cutsew: Queen of Darkness
Skirt: Innocent World
Mini-hat: Claire's
Earrings: Bijou Briggite
Short necklace: River Island
Tights: H&M

I recommend you this site: Vinmag. They sell antique magazines and posters, I found lots of beautiful pictures! Click the image to see it:

Tutorial: sewing machine cover

My sewing machine cover was really ugly and it was broken, so I wanted to make another one. I looked at this tutorial to make a bag from Gosurori vol.9. You can take a look here, there's more scans and patterns. But I can't scan more because my computer is very slow T_T
Anyway, perhaps you'll find something useful.

The tutorial to make a sewing machine cover is even easier, but you can also make a bag with it, here it is!

1. You have to cut only one piece, in the photograph it is folded, but it should look like this:

2. Fold the piece and then sew the sides as in the picture (in the picture is wrong, because in fact you shouldn't see the print when you fold it).

3. Then sew the corners as showed in the picture:

4. Now you just have to overlock and sew the hems, and it's finished!

This is what it looks like, now I love my sewing corner! xD





I bought this lovely fabric at Paris Bebe, they have beautiful prints!

Narcissique re-ressurrection and Cakeland

Hi! I've been very busy these months, because I found a job in the bookshop of a museum. I love it! It has lots of interesting books, there's pop surrealism everywhere, it will be my ruin!! So, I wanted to show you one of the first artists that I discovered there, he is Scott Hove and here there are some of his cake sculptures:

First, I wanted to eat all these cream and cherries, but then, I discovered that it was the cake who was planning to eat me!! OMG, I want these shoes *_*
