Ok so normally today is reserved for ACEO’s but for Christmas I got new drawing software which I’ve been playing with non-stop so I haven’t actually done any ACEO’s for a while! So I thought I would share with you the first drawing I did with my new software, you can click for a big version to see all the details. Not bad for a first go right?

I’m so excited about this new program, the brush control is just awesome! As you can see I’ve been playing with textures quite a bit ^_^

What have you all got planned for the weekend? I’m going to be working and hopefully shooting a couple of new tutorials as well as painting some nails

I’ve been wanting to do a proper update for a while but I just haven’t had the time >_< So I present you, the last couple of months in photos!

I made my Mum some Christmas themed nails for her work party:

I like the nails that look like presents!

And the stripey ones. Stripes are awesome

I made this cake when my Mum came over for dinner.

It didn’t turn out very well but it was pretty yummy! I think next time I need to just stick with icing because I tired to paint roses on the sides and it looked terrible!

One day I went to brush my teeth and there was a lizard in the sink who couldn’t get out. He was stuck because the sink was slippery >_<

He was scared of us (I named him Steven by the way) so I used the string on my pajamas to make a ladder for him. He got out and lived in our bathroom for a few days eating the ants.

One day he tried to venture into the lounge so we had to put him outside in case someone stepped on him

BYE STEVEN! He lives under our back steps now.

We discovered that there was a Japanese bakery that just opened up at one of our favorite shopping centers… and went a bit crazy. Turns out that as pretty as the below cake looked it was disgustingly stale >_< Luckily their other things are absolutely delicious so we’ve been going back almost every week!

These are the photos James took on Christmas Day. I didn’t get any of the morning when we went to my Dad’s house so here are the ones from lunch with James’ family. The food was so yummy!

And the table was very pretty ^_^

Candied yams… we don’t usually have this in Aus, it’s very American. I’d never heard of it until James introduced me but it’s sooo yummy!

Group shot!

I stole some of the decorations from the crackers to make my bow more Christmas-y.

For New Years we went to James’ Parent’s unit in Mooloolaba. There was such a pretty view from the balcony!

Oh course it always had a breeze in the most inappropriate times I still love this photo!

James wanted to try out lots of new camera settings so I got to do lots of cam-whoring.

And I wanted to show you how glittery my nails looked in the sun…

So glittery! I can’t believe I forgot to take a close up >_< They were seriously all pink and silver glitter with some cute black hearts.

For dinner that night I had Okonomiyaki from a street vendor, so over priced and not very nice. I give it a 5/10 because they didn’t have extras on top.

The view from that night, there were lots of street stalls there.

A kiss at midnight!

And the pretty fireworks.

It was a pity that half of them were behind that tree. Pretty anyway

So there you go! I’ll be back again with another tutorial soon ^_^

<3 Have a great day!
