My handwriting isn’t that great to be honest, I’d like to get better but I have to write so slowly to write well and I always write in a hurry because I’m afraid if I take too long I’ll lose what I’m trying to write!
Month: January 2021
I tried pressing a rose!
I put it between wax paper inside a stack of very heavy books, I also flattened out the rose, roses look extremely different flattened out but I forgot to take a picture, I’ll follow this post up with what the result looked like!
Well this year my wishlist is to travel literally anywhere!! But here are some short term and long term places I want to go
1.) Japan, specifically Tokyo
I don’t know any Lolita who doesn’t want to visit harajuku at least once in their life but I also really like anime as well so I feel like I would be doubly excited. As I’m still getting my life set up right now this won’t happen this year but once my finances are settled I want to start planning this
2.) Montreal
I have been trying to go to Montreal since I got my enhanced license! Unfortunately whenever there’s been an opportunity I’ve been working, or a pandemic hit. I desperately want to go and have some hope that if this pandemic clears up I may be able to go this fall
3.) Paradiso
I have my ticket for it in June, I hope either it gets postponed again or the pandemic is gone by then. I am so excited and even bought a special dress for the occasion last year
4.) San Francisco
This is so I can go visit the two brand stores in the U.S. plus I’ve never been there!
5.) Disneyland
I really want to go to Disneyland Lolita Day one of these years! It looks amazing and fun!
Valentines Day is next month!!! So I think I’m going to cook my fiancé his favorite food which is pot roast! His mother gave us a recipe book for Christmas that has that recipe inside! I can’t wait!
I remember doing the this challenge last time I attempted this, I did it again, in some ways it’s nice but I discovered I think I prefer my bed unscented personally, it was a little disorienting waking up in lavender!
1.) Use a damp paper product and then a dry paper product rubbed on the wet spot and test all of the different colors of your dress to see if any colors run, if they do don’t continue,
2.) Full a tub or basin with water as cold as you can get it
3.) Add a little bit of mild detergent
4.) Dip the dress into the tub
5.) Leave the dress in there for no more than 5 minutes only lightly swishing the water
6.) Drain the basin or tub, and fill with clean water as cold as you can get it
7.) Dip the dress into the basin or tub until the water that drips off is no longer sudsy
8.) Hang the dress to dry Please try this method at your own risk!
I finally joined egl on livejournal so I could read an essay I was dying to read! I really Princess Love Being Mean, I thought it would be an interesting place to go because with my own journey with being a lifestyle Lolita I haven’t really factored being “mean” or “rebellious” into it, I often have the aspirational image of trying to be like a heroic magical girl or a virtuous disney princess. However in this brief essay that doesn’t seem to be what Takemoto-san is talking about, it seems to be more about making sure to put yourself first in situations in a lot of it. That I can agree can be off putting to others but is important to do. What threw me off of that a little though was when he said he was a big fan of models or actresses when he found out they were a nightmare to work with. I think that explains a little about Momoko as a protagonist.
I got these adorable plates as a hand me down this Christmas! They’re definitely the nicest things I own currently
This year I learned that lace is made in a variety of ways! I wanted to show a bit of the needle lacework that I learned but I am currently working on saving money so that will have to wait. I learned that lace can be tatted with a shuttle and a needle, crocheted or made on a bobbin as well as chemical lace. Lace comes in a variety of ways! There’s lots of resources on YouTube relating to that fact,
