My Model Room: #12 Mirror and more

Here's my mirror and the decorations around it.

There's my handmade montage of people with guitars. I took a photo of the original and reduced the size and the frame is made of matchsticks. The guitar in the top right corner is covered in buttons!

The mirror is jut shiny silver card. The circle stickers are to represent the sports day stickers I've had stuck there for ever. At the bottom I used nail transfers to represent all the different post-it notes I put there.

I bought these flowers from Hobbycraft and have them in a couple of places in my room. To make the miniature versions I cut tiny petals from one of the original petals and then glued a small piece of wire to each of them individually. 

I also have them on my wardrobe in these little half pots. I made the original pots with papier mache around a large yogurt pot, but for the miniatures I just folded a small bit of sugar paper.

Hat-cessories

My Mum crochets the hats and I make the brooches. It's a winning combo!

Words at my fingertips

I don't often paint my fingernails but when I do I like to go for something fun like this. I cut little words out magazine and stick them on my nails.

I start with a coloured layer - usually black cos I'm edgey like that - then a clear coat, stick on the word and then a lot more clear polish so that the paper is completely covered and waterproof. 


Here are a couple of other nail art ideas I've recently come across:

Green aliens from The Ramblings of Crazy Woman.


And a cute panda which I saw here.

Hair bands galore!





Personal note on my hair: I dyed my hair with a 6-8 week semi-permanent. In April. It's still there!

100th post

This is my 100th blog post!
Which I think is a perfectly good excuse for cake.



I made some plain and some chocolate cupcakes and decorated them with fondant icing, butter cream icing, chocolate spread, sprinkles and chocolate star.

Definitely a nom nom nom moment
A 'noment' if you will.
