This is a video I made around a year ago which I have had to reupload with different music because of a glitch. More info below, thanks very much for watching!
This is a crochet tutorial made for my blog. It is an easy project for beginners who want to do an actual project. The end result is a stuffed bunny rabbit.

Crochet Tutorial for Beginners: Pink Bunny Rabbit Instructions
This is a little tutorial on the basics of crochet.
There is an accompanying blog post with photo instructions over at www.VioletLeBeaux.com
I learned from friends, books and videos so my techniques may not be 100% accurate but they’ve worked for me so far!
Enjoy and good luck with your bunny!
Finished bunny!
You need a crochet hook and yarn.
Take the end of the yarn, tie a knot but don’t pull the end through.
Use your hook to pick up the yarn in the middle.
Pull the two ends of yarn downwards.
Pull the ends apart to tighten the knot around the hook.
Wrap the yarn around the hook, front to back. It’s kind of clockwise.
Twist the hook to face down and slide the loop off the top.
The hook will catch the yarn you just wrapped around it.
Repeat to make 20 stitches.
Wrap and hook through, wrap and hook through etc.
Stop once you have done 20 chains.
This is a foundation chain!
Done! Top and bottom.
Now chain two more stitches.
Hold the end of the chain in an “L” with the extra two chains at the bottom.
Let’s make the first row.
Skipping the 2 extra chains, push the hook through the 3rd one.
Wrap the yarn around the hook.
Pull the hook down and through the loop.
The hook will catch the yarn you wrapped and pull it through to make a new stitch.
Wrap the yarn around again.
Pull the hook down and through again.
This time go through the two loops on the hook.
It forms a new stitch again.
And that completes the whole stich and takes us back to the first step again.
So the start again… push the hook through the next loop.
Wrap the yarn.
Pull it through the first loop, wrap the yarn again, pull it through the other loops.
Back at step 1!

These photos are from when James and I visited the Suzuki Night markets. I wish they were still on, looking at these is making me hungry! Paella!
I want to eat it aaaaall!
Oh and mini burgers!
The city is so pretty from the outside too.
There aren’t many flowers around at the moment but they’re very pretty anyway.
And the architecture is so pretty no matter the season.
  
I do love twilight… the time not the books…
 
Tiny hot chocolate mugs, so cute!
Only in Melbourne is there a monument erected to someone named Batman XDDDD
This is my favorite photo that I’ve taken in a long time. It’s so peaceful.
James and my Mum walking home.
I found some cute things this month too:
Spotty suspenders!
Mushroom candles!
James was overly excited to see The Gap (we only just got one here)… I was less interested XD
But I did see some cute pants in the children’s section.
Adorable whoopie pie maker, James tried to make these once but he forgot to put eggs in and they were soooo bad XD
I don’t think this next one needs a caption.
We went to a Japanese restaurant called Kaneda and it’s my new favorite place right now omgsogooood!
With my Mum..
Grape Calpico yuuum!
They had the best bento and soft shell crab!
 
I won Celina a kitty from claw machine 😀
 
I’m really tempted to go back for this jumper, it looks so comfy!
And lastly an iphone case with it’s own usamimi XD

Hello good morning, Today I’m going to do the most requested video that I get in the comments which is a hair care video. Yay.
So I guess I’ll start with basics first, what exactly do I do to take care of my hair?
I don’t actually have that much of a routine which is probably why I’ve put this video off for so long.
Because it’s not really easy to say I do this, this and this because I’m really lazy so my routine changes so often because of what I have on hand or what I have in the cupboard or what is within arm’s reach.
Once a month or once every 6 weeks I’ll dye my regrowth blonde. I use Loreal prelightener.
I usually do the pink every 2 weeks. The pink that I use is Paint Box.
They are a subsidiary of Fudge and I use Pretty Flamingo and also the lighter Pink Moon.
I’ve already done a video on how I do the pink so I’ll just do the pink when I’m washing my hair.
So far as actually washing my hair, I probably do it maybe twice a week and rather than using shampoo anymore I’ve switched over to using Baking Soda.
I like baking soda because it’s quite gentle, it’s natural and it works really well.
Using it has really improved the condition of my hair since switching from regular shampoo.
Also you can use it as a dry shampoo which you would have seen in my previous video somewhere up here.
So far as conditioner I generally use the stuff that comes with my blonde hair dye.
I find I don’t like to use too much of it because I find my hair is a little bit oily around the roots.
So I’ve been using the KMS quick dry thing. Basically it’s a
two layer thing and you shake it up and spray it on your wet hair and it dries really quickly after that.
Probably cuts down drying time by like three quarters. So I love it.
I avoid using heat on my hair as much as possible so I don’t like to blow dry my hair too much unless it’s really really cold and you’re using the blow dryer for warmth.
So I try to do pin curls if I have time the night before.
Also if I just want wavy hair like this, wearing my hair in a bun overnight works really well.
I’ve recently started using this big comb thing to brush out all of the tangles.
For the full transcript check my blog or turn on captions.
