Look! There’s another one!
Hello, it was finally some time for another vid! Still feels stupid and I hate my own voice, but editing is very fun and srsly, one needs to shout quite loudly to get views on the webs nowadays. So why not then just upload it here in my little corner of the interwebs. Maybe some like-minded person likes it, who knows. Since I’m busy with daily work and evening school, this video and blog stuff drops just every now and then, whenever I feel like it! So don’t worry, not gonna spam with random stuff too often. The vid is about making the blouse for the Victorian/Edwardian era dress project…

Look! A vid!
I went and added my little face into the human void tube now too. Making one video took some time, and I did mostly enjoy the editorial part and learning to use the adobe premiere software. I have all adobe software in my use, cause of my job, so it’s nice to get more out of the money I carry for them. Making this video took 3 months, or even more. It did go through many different versions. I actually 3d-printed that whole gown in last autumn. So, that’s whats happens in the real backgrounds of internet. Of course, If I wouldn’t be terribly busy, and if this would be…

Easy black non-lye shampoo
One might know, that in the old days, people used simply eggs and rosemary oil / water to wash their hair. Even my boyfriends’ grandmother used to still do that! I haven’t tried this chicken menstruation shampooing yet ( yep, lovely way to put it), but I have read that it’s quite popular in these “no-poo” methods. That’s a method where one tries not to be using any shampoo and hair conditioner at all. Not a method where one stops pooping… Also, some other “natural ingredients only”- bar shampoos and hair conditioners have gotten popular lately too. Bar shampoos have another plus side too: no plastic bottles, chemicals, or extra…

Easy birb brooch in Victorian style
Ever wanted an antique brooch, but then again, didn’t buy one? For me, it’s like that, and the reason I haven’t bought one is that I have plenty of craft supplies at the home. So buying a “new” brooch is just right now not needed, since I kinda should use all these DIY items I have bought. Old items have special meaning for me, since they have stories, and have seen some life. That also makes me almost scared to use them sometimes. I don’t want to broke or lose an old piece of amazing artwork. Even though, things kinda are meant to be used. First I wanted to try…

Mission Underwear: Corset making
I never imagined that I will put an image of myself in my underwear on the internet. But it has come into this now. I also never knew that one could need a HAMMER when doing a corset, but it is a true story. For my defense, if any is needed, I managed to make an underwear set that covers me almost from ankle to neck. It’s the classic Edwardian era “grandma” underwear. Totally a way to stand out in these days, with all the “Only Fans” Instagram bikini photos. Somebody should by the way make that kind of “Only Fans” account, showing off em ankle a little bit every…

Grab your eyeball and look
We have here in Finland an idiom, which is literally translated as: “Put your eye into your hand and look”. That’s used mostly if somebody is looking for something, which, is literally in front of them, and they still won’t manage to see it. Then you might answer this, in with somewhat frustrated tone. Another similar idiom is “to poke a stick into the eye of a person who looks back on things”. It’s meant to be used in situations when somebody wants to use past happenings as a tool in argument or disagreement. My translations weren’t probably the most fluence ones. But hey, free random facts. The reason for…

Let’s be Derp together
The valentines gift season is coming, and usually, it’s so hard to decide what to give. It should be both practical, and funny. You know. Hard combo to find. If the future gift receiver is anyhow into sewing, one can give a very lovely teacup pincushion. It’s very instagrammable, and pinterest is full of ideas of how to do one. Old teacups cost around just under 1e in local fleamarket. The more horrible rose ornament teacup one found, the cheaper it is usually. So, back in the funny business. Very overly romantic teacup can be funny as it is, if one gives it to the person whose personal style and…

The blouse to fly an umbrella
I don’t know exactly what is my opinion of the loved children books character Mary Poppins. I might have something against her just because she’s so amazingly and unrealistically confident, happy, and energetic. Like, I thought this even as a kid. But I did things against Winnie the pooh, (and almost every character there except the owl and kangaroo) Dr. Seuss, and what not. Mostly I liked the side characters much more than the main. And the same goes for Mary Poppins. As a 6 year old kid I absolutely loved the chimney sweeper man who got to take the watchers up into roofs, and had a very catchy song,…

Tartan and Lace of the jungle
Hello all you absorbed cabbages and wicked stockings. Something about month ago it got into the day that I had provenly walked 1 year more in this planet. I got into this age, where some people I knew get their first kids and bought a homes. However, for me age really doesn’t matter, it matters what’s inside. And inside of me, there’s seriously old, and tremendeously bad tempered grumpy man. A man who mostly just wants to be left alone in silence. From my significant otter I got amazing gifts, like, an victorian era measurement tool, and sewingbooks. The other of the sewingbooks were Tilly and the Buttons’ Love at…
