Congratulations Dominique! You have won a free Pikithins bracelet and a cute doll! Please send me your mailing address to receive these lovely prizes!
Just wanted to show these two cute dolls I finished creating today =). They are for my niece and cousin, they'll be turning six this year. Each of them were made out of felt, buttons, ribbon, and fabric (can't remember the kind at the moment). =)
Introducing the fold & roll up make up brush bag!!! That sounds like some type of long winded super power name XD. I made this bag/pouch for a custom order! The person wanted 20 slots where she could hold different sized brushes. Beyond that, I could make whatever I wanted =D. I picked out these lovely fabrics and created the pattern myself =). It ties with a thin embroidery floss braided string. You can fold it...
...roll it...
This is the inside. I made it really simple:2 rows, 10 slots each.
There are three different sized slots for larger brushes =).
The design was inspired by this roll up bag/pouch I made for myself to hold my needles for crocheting =D.
This is the interior. Its really nifty when going out. I can defiantly do custom order of these if anyone is interested in one =). I can even personalize it for your own style =D. Just leave me a convo on etsy or at my email: pikithins@gmail.com
On another note, I recommend EVERYONE buy this book! Dirty Wow Wow. These two authors got together and documented old childhood toys adults still have =). There is a story written about each beat up and cherished toy.
Its a quick read too, but some of the stories are too adorable to pass up, especially the one where this woman used to carry her doll with her and it was thrown out the car window into the highway =O. The father saved the doll though =).
Welcome all! I am hosting an awesome giveaway! TWO giveaways to be exact! One for the signature Pikithins bracelet, shown above!
And a doll! =D Say hello to Olive =). She is made of felt, shirting, and hand stitched. She would love a home with you =). You can enter both giveaways.
Hello everyone! Yesterday I attended a Cherry Blossom Festival called Sakura Matsuri. This festival celebrates the blooming of the Cherry Blossom. I have way too many photos, so if you want to see the rest, they are on my facebook. If your not my friend on facebook, well, er, your out of luck there XD. The first event we went to see was Taiko Drumming. AMAZING, like always! I would love to learn how to play them!
Those feet are my sister and I. We were sitting on the grass while watching the performance. Imagine feeling the pounding of the drums vibrating into your feet? Its an amazing feeling (The yellow feet are mine and the white feet is my sister).
After we watched the performance, we decided to walk around the whole garden. The next place we went to was the japanese garden. Its tough getting pictures at this place because A LOT of people attended the festival. That is me in the red, my sister in the blue, and my best friend wearing a Lolita cosplay outfit. There were many teenagers dressed in cosplay!
This is my other best friend! We went over to the childrens garden (probably the best garden there, why do kids get all the cool stuff?).
My niece (in red) and my cousin (in green) came with us as well wearing Chinese outfits. Haha, Chinese outfits to a japanese festival. My mom couldn't find small kimonos for them, heh.
Everything is mini sized in the childrens garden like this small river. So cute!
I found this area at the back of the childrens garden that was covered in bamboo and a wooden staircase. So we took pictures there too! My sister helped me put my make up on and I created the flower hairpiece in my hair. Pretty cool eh? Eh!?
Yup, you can tell we were having a photo shoot moment hahahah XD.
