A Primark opened last month in my city.. I don't expect it to be anything interesting but maybe some different snacks we don't usually have in the US? I am going to go there and take a look around. 
I also need to locate towels suitable for embroidery to make Christmas gifts, as well as some green felt. I am going to attempt to make a small felt plant and pot to gift to one of my boyfriend's friends. 
I am feeling a little nervous to use my embroidery machine later. It's a Brother innovis something, and was very expensive and I can never seem to make it work quite right. I've been sewing all my life and can use about any sewing machine, but the embroidery machines and industry just feel so set apart and the machines are SO complicated. I constantly have to re-thread and cut away thread knot-balls from the fabric. I am happy to have it and finally have a little motivation to try it out again, so wish me luck!

 Hello! It's been along time since I wrote anything here. Recently I haven't been up to too much but I have been sewing a lot more often. Hopefully soon I can make a web-shop to sell accessories and other random things as I feel. 
 Lately I am really enjoying working from the Gosurori sewing books and I most recently made the belt pants from book 3. I didn't actually do any of the belts or belt loops because they weren't exactly what I wanted with this pair of pats but I am really happy with how they came out! Soon I will coordinate them and post photos here.
  Just this morning I realized how in need of a new pair of bloomer I was so I whipped up a quick pair from OTS. I'm not sure which book the pattern was from but they are a perfect fit! I'm in love with them!


 All of the materials used for this except for one of the types of lace I used (they small spikey one place along the top of the largest lace, which I bought online a few months ago.), were bought at a local second hand craft materials store which is so exciting as it was all very affordable but I will be able to use these often for a long time.
  Thank you for reading, I'm gonna wrap it up right here for today!

Hello! its been a while since I posted anything here. I have been super busy with life stuff so I haven't had a lot of time to sit down and write something.
Anyways, I wanted to make a small update post about the things I have on their way to me. 
Firstly; I bought this damaged Jane Marple and cut-sew tank and cardigan from lace market the other day. I had seen this tank in black on mercari or yahoo auctions a while back and made note of it as something I wanted to buy eventually so when I saw it pop up on lace market I decided to grab it! It will be a bit of work to clean the lace but I don't mind. starting the school year I will want to have some non-school projects to work on so I'm really excited! The cardigan may be past it's time but I may attempt to dye it a darker color? I will have to see when ever it arrives.
 

Next; I have this gorgeous sundress JSK from Physical Drop on its way! This dress is very reminiscent of the old metamorphose sundresses and I really just fell in love with it at first sight. I think it will be a super versital addition to my wardrobe! I plan to do an in depth post about it once it arrives, look forward to that please! 

And lastly; I bought this cute pair of boots from Lamoda! I have never had shoes from them before so I am excited and nervous to see the fit and quality in person, I got these for rather cheap so if they end up being bad I am not risking much but its still a gamble!



anyways, that'll be all from me today. Let me know if you guys have anything on its way to you that you are excited about!
have a good day/night and thank you for reading >_<

 Hey guys! I'm working on my css/html rn so just ignore any weird stuff lol, its pretty bad rn

 It's been a while since I found the time to sit down and write a post on here, mostly because I dropped my (now long gone) laptop on the floor and it broke in essentially unfixable ways, but also out of a burst of laziness in the past month.
I want to write some small life updates, and some upcoming events I look forward to.
First, I'll start with what I've been up to. As of just last week I have acquired the Karami JSK & head bow set in my preferred colorway (B x W)! I traded with a friend in the Old School Lolitas discord server, and I can't wait to receive it! I previously had the JSk&KC in sax and me being me I just can't stand pastels and especially not wearing them most of the time. 
  I also recently purchased my very first vintage yukata which I plan to wear to my cities upcoming cherry Blossom festival. The garment is from 1996 and is overall a blue-ish black color with prints of dragonflies and flowers in a neon-esque style. As for an obi I decided on a colorful floral hanhaba obi. I'm still not 100% set on it but it will do for now. In the future I think an obi with B x W polka-dots or diamonds would be very cute.
  As for other upcoming events, I soon will be attending an anime convention for the first time in nearly 3 years! With the intensity of covid in the US everything has been cancelled over and over and I can't wait to be back in the atmosphere of a convention. I plan to cosplay at least one day but other than that I will likely dress comfortably. My current cosplay plan is Space Channel 5 Hatsune Miku. I would have preferred to do a cosplay of Ulala, the main character of space channel five, but I already had a wig for Miku, so I settled on that for budget reasons.
  Anyways that's all from me for today, I hope everyone is having a good year as we approach the end of the first quarter of 2022 and remember to take good care of yourself!  -Catherine
 

Hello again! Just wanted to do a small update on some things on their way to me that im really looking forward to! currently there isnt alot, but its always so exciting either way.

first up is a gorgeous skirt by putumayo, lace print frill skirt, from 2008 in BxW! It will be my first piece my putumayo so I am very excited to receive this skirt.

second up, which i dont have a good picture of so i wont include one, is a Angelic Pretty Novelty Towel. Honestly this was a bit more than an impulse purchase, but no regrets! its a bright pink towel with black writing that simply states “angelic pretty” in their logo font. It will be my first ever novelty item so im excited! I think it will be very nice to have for picnics and vacations.

lastly, i have a buuuuuunnnccchhh of lace for sewing on its way! i love making headbows so i plan to make lots to sell to friends and other lolitas, wish me luck. >_<

As always, Thank you for reading and feel free to comment any questions!
