How To Make An iPhone Charge Tail

A few weeks ago I did a tutorial on how to make headphone jack accessories, this is kind of a companion piece to that because now I’m seeing power cord jack accessories everywhere! The most popular ones I’ve seen have been little fur tails that clip in, again quite expensive but extremely easy to make if you have an old broken power cord. I had a first gen ipod so I have quite a few broken power cords XD

The end result!

What you need:

  • Old broken power jack
  • Faux fur
  • Hot glue
  • Pliers

Cut the cord off the power cord. While I was working the case cracked off my power cord, not a big deal because it will be covered but it would have been cleaner if it had stayed on.

Cut out a a triangle of faux fur twice as wide as you want the tail to be.

Fold it in half and glue the edges together. Keep the glued part on the inside so the fur strands hide it.

Now glue the power cord into the end of the tail.

Make sure it’s secure and not going anywhere.

Wait until it’s dry and then you’re done! You can add some strings of pearls or a cute bow for extra decoration.

It looks a bit less OTT on James’ phone XD

I personally probably wouldn’t use one because I am always strapped for handbag space as it is but it was a fun project to do and very easy! I like this kind of thing because you can dress up your phone easily and remove it if you need to go somewhere it’s not as appropriate!

Michelle Phan and The Ocean Melbourne Snapshots

Ocean snapshots! Oh my gosh, these photos look so sunshiny but it was freezing XD It was the height of winter!

James took the opportunity to get some very high fashion styled photos too, though I just looked like a tool XD IMG_0671

I think the rest of the photos kind of speak for themselves. Though make sure you repeat “OMG COLD” in your head while you view them!

finally found the photos from when we met Michelle Phan at the Lancome event too!

VioletLeBeauxIMG_5440_20926

It was a really long time ago but the photos are still really pretty.

VioletLeBeauxIMG_5436_20922

Celina’s phone is totally blinged out now too!

The event was a Myer’s fancy upstairs room and it was all done up with flowers and very lovely fittings.

VioletLeBeauxMelbourne-Ocean-80704_20157

I wonder if it’s fun seeing your face all over the posters and walls at events like this?

VioletLeBeauxMelbourne-Ocean-80706_20159

Again, Michelle was really lovely and answered all of our questions. Make sure you check out my video from the day if you haven’t already!

 Hope you guys had an awesome week too!

Learning About Miss Lottie… aka Puppy Photo Spam!

I think it’s time for some more Lottie photos 😀 😀 😀

I don’t want to be one of those people who posts nothing but photos of their dog/cat/baby/palmtree/fish but I can’t help it, she’s so freaking cute! Also, this post may be to say sorry for my inconsistency of being online/comment replies etc. It’s so distracting when you’re trying to work and she’s just SO cute!

cute-pomeranian-puppy7173

We took some family photos last week to use for a Christmas craft I’m planning but she was so bouncy she didn’t want to sit still for them XD

cute-pomeranian-puppy7174

I can’t believe what a personality she’s developed in the last few weeks. The change from the terrified little puppy to the cuddly, bouncy girl is amazing.

She loves following me around and “helping” with things. We made the bed together the other day.

cute-pomeranian-puppy7089

James’ Mum bought her the most adorable travel bag and she went in an started sleeping right away!

cute-pomeranian-puppy7060

She’s not allowed to walk yet because she’s 1 vaccination short but she can come around in the case so we’re trying to socialise her early!

cute-pomeranian-puppy7083

She is so spoiled, Kim gave her a new bed too which was adorable!!

cute-pomeranian-puppy6812

Total love for this!! She has so many aunties who love her XD

cute-pomeranian-puppy6840

I decided to needle felt her name on the strawberry but she wouldn’t get out of it! I ended up letting her go to sleep and doing it while she was in there >_<

cute-pomeranian-puppy6952

She loves to play rough with James, he’s totally happy to have someone who doesn’t yell at him for trying to tickle them!

cute-pomeranian-puppy2546cute-pomeranian-puppy2543

She’s grown and her coat is begining to change, I can’t wait to see what she looks like when she totally blows her coat!

cute-pomeranian-puppy258

And she has the cutest little butt ever with her piggy tail.

cute-pomeranian-puppy256

Her ears are finally starting to pop up too so she looks more like her brothers.

cute-pomeranian-puppy244

She has the most FANTASTIC faces!

cute-pomeranian-puppy243

Above all she loves to nap. It can be hard to take photos when she’s awake because she loves running around so I have 50 billion of Sleeping Lottie 😀cute-pomeranian-puppy216

Things I’ve learned about Lottie:

  • She loves playing with yarn
  • She stretches like a cat
  • She may actually be some kind of sneaky cat in disguise
  • She learned toilet training much quicker than I thought she would!
  • She is actually really smart and she loves practicing her tricks. She knows sit, lay down, shake, roll over, come, fetch and she’s learning heel, go to your strawberry and dance.
  • She will chew ANYTHING.
  • She only hates to be by herself when she knows someone else is home. She’s fine if we’re out but if we’re just in the other room she desperately wants to come hang out.
  • She doesn’t care for this one specific ad on tv where a dog barks.
  • She used to HATE getting her feet wet but now she washes her paws in her bowl and cleans them XD

cute-pomeranian-puppy211

Such a poser!

cute-pomeranian-puppy205

I wish I could get a good shot of her sitting so you could see how cute her underchin is, her white tummy makes her look like a fox!

cute-pomeranian-puppy188cute-pomeranian-puppy186

Also zomg I can’t believe there are REAL Scooby Snacks! The box even said “safe for humans but not recommended” mwahahaha! I want to make my own!

cute-pomeranian-puppy7158

Did I mention she loves napping the in the weirdest positions?

cute-pomeranian-puppy161

The progression of the laziest dog in the world:

cute-pomeranian-puppy152cute-pomeranian-puppy151cute-pomeranian-puppy148

She makes a great foot warmer too 😀

cute-pomeranian-puppy143

She is so cuddly, in fact so much so that most of the photos I try to take like this:

cute-pomeranian-puppy091

…end up like this when she tries to lick my ears XD

cute-pomeranian-puppy093

So 3 weeks on, is having a puppy what I expected? After reading so many horror stories and being VERY prepared it’s actually a lot better than I thought. Lottie has brought so much awesomeness into our lives and I couldn’t be happier with her.

cute-pomeranian-puppy113

Both James and I couldn’t be happier and I am SO SO SO excited for her to have her next shots so we can finally go out walking and to parks with her! I want to take her to the Botanical Gardens and watch her discover grass XD

And now as lots of people have pointed out I have to change my bio to “wants a puppy is a house cat” to “has the best puppy in the world”!!
