Cute Felt Pudding

When Tiff visited Japan a little while ago she brought me a few presents home and the funny thing is that one of the things she brought was the exact same cute strawberry tart felt kit that Celeste got me from Singapore!! XD Clearly I have very distinct tastes right?

So when she saw the post I made about it, she swapped it for another one in the series! How nice is that? So after the response from last time I thought I would show you this one too ^_^

I bring you the Cute Strawberry Pudding!

Obviously again I can’t take any credit for making this tutorial because I was just following their instructions. Full credit goes to the original company but I took photos while I was making it I though you might find it interesting anyway ^_^  You can find most of the materials around the house and you can easily substitute anything you like.

The cute package it came in:

You’ll end up with something like this:

Now time for cream! This is what the piece you need looks like, using your needle and thread sew straight through each point.

Add a tiny bit of stuffing…

And pull the whole thing shut.

Now stitch the pieces together and you have a pretty yummy looking pudding! Heehee I forgot to cut off one of the threads >_< Now you can attach it to a magnet (which is supplied) or a headband or an obnoxiously huge cute ring 😀

Super cute right? Thanks so much Tiff!

Big Fat Bodyline Review Part 2

This was my second order from Bodyline and I was quite excited about it considering the quality last time!

I placed my order and it was very promptly shipped out. This time the tracking stopped updating in Hong Kong so I wasn’t expecting it when it arrived after 3 days.

Bodyline Review 2

I ordered from Bodyline the following:

This is what arrived:

Bodyline Review 2

The ponytail extension was wrapped in a plastic bag with cardboard to stop it getting crushed.

Bodyline Review 2

The others were just in plastic bags. The yellow gold was a little darker than I expected but the colour was nice. The quality was much better than I expected for the price. They are not shiny at all and assuming you could get the right colour I think it would be easy to blend with natural hair.

Bodyline Review 2

I was very happy with the colour of the pink that came.

Bodyline Review 2

James’ beanie was the same quality as the last one he ordered. Very soft and comfy.

Bodyline Review 2

Now the shoes! These were the part I was most interested in. I ordered them to use as a base so I could finally make you all a tutorial on modifying hime gyaru shoes 🙂

Bodyline Review 2

They were packed in plastic with paper to hold the fronts.

Bodyline Review 2

Unfortunately the pink ones turned up missing the little plastic stopper on one of the heels. I emailed Bodyline about it and asked for the missing stopper to be posted out but after several emails back and forth in broken English the end result was that (as far as I understand) they wanted me to make my own replacement plastic thing. I will probably just take it to the shoe repair place and get them to do it. I would have liked Bodyline to send a replacement one but considering the shoes were $12 I can’t really complain XD

Bodyline Review 2

Other than that mishap I am quite pleased with the quality. They are fairly true to size and the colour was accurate.

Bodyline Review 2

The bows are quite icky but as I bought them as bases to customise I don’t care.

Bodyline Review 2

The quality of the materials is quite good, plastic bottoms and vinyl-ish on the tops.

Bodyline Review 2

They are labeled as “Duan Da”

Bodyline Review 2

Nice and comfortable too, they are very low heel when you take into account the front platform. I imagine they would be good for lots of walking/shopping. Looking forward to testing that theory!! Overall I think they are going to make a good base for the tutorial.

Bodyline Review 2

Overall opinion:

Very happy with the overall quality of everything, the shipping was fast and prices were very good. Communication was a little frustrating but I think that is negated by the prices. Very happy with my purchases!

Have you all bought from Bodyline before? Hope you found the Bodyline Review useful if not!

Panasonic TZ10 Camera Decoden!

All I seem to do lately is workworkworkworkwork but it’s all going to pay off soon and I’m hoping it will be worth it! So today as a little break I decided I would show off what I did to the camera that let you look into my brain the other day 😀

Started off all black and boring and ended up like this:

My Camera Deco

The lens crystals are Swarovski’s from The Sticker Monster and the rest are bits and pieces I’ve collected from around the place.

My Camera Deco

I thought about doing a more uniform design but I settled on going crazy with it again so it matched my phone and my personality 😀

My Camera Deco

I’m very happy with the result and after several weeks everything is in tact. The coolest part is that when you switch the camera on the jewels rotate with the lens 😀

My Camera Deco

I’ve been testing out the video quality too and I can’t wait to do some more filming with it.

My Camera Deco

I am hoping this week if I can get a little spare time I will be able to bring you all some more nail art tutorials including the roses I did last time 🙂 Oh and I’ve updated the Reader’s Gallery with all the new photos, sorry it took so long >_<

My Camera Deco

So there you have it ^_^

Hope you’re all having a good week I’m off to bed so I can get a jump on tomorrow!
