Trying new things

I am very excited about this!!
This technic I want to try (I am gonna) is called needle felting. I first met with this beauties when I run into Fieltrunguis' blog a couple of years ago; her blog is so full of cute and adorable stuff. Maru (the owner of this lovely blog) is a great artisan who makes amigurumis and needle felted animals... I also first met with all the amigurumi theme with her blog.
Well, last week, just before I finish the first term at Uni I FINALLY FOUND FELT, which is the material you need to needle felting. I almost cry when I saw it... I think I was looking for it since a year and a half, or more! Immediately after I finished my classes I run to buy some light-blue felt, just enough to try this technic and see if I like it or if I'm good at it.

Now, if you're interested on how this needle felted toys, here there are some cute examples:













And this is like felt looks like and those are the materials you need to do this technic:














Alright. This is my post for today... I think (I THINK) tomorrow I'll put something about another of my passions: vintage fashion! ^^
Hope you like this!!

Today I've learn: DO NOT force a sewing machine futher than she wants to give for the day!!

Free as a bird

Well well, I'm back again... after (I think) a month without posting. You know why.
Today, lovely people I'm in the middle of my Winter Holidays. And what was up with me until today??
-Lost a course at Uni (laskdjklajsdlkas NOT my fault!)
-Presented three skirts at the Fashion designing course for which we used as inspiration "Tim Burton". So it was pretty goth and dark and Alice's style. GREAT SKIRTS! I gotta thank my friends Rosina, Belén, Micaela and Cecilia for those. Thank you girls!
-Bought many things, such as paper, colour pencils, markers and stuff like that so I won't get bored during holidays.
-Met my old Primary School friends for the um, "Friends day". Was absolutely fun!!!
-Draw fashion.... A LOT!!!! For which I used as inspiration: "What would I wear if I were a rock star..." and it came out from that a lot of lovely things, I hope one day I made in fabric and thread.
-Watch like a thousand movies (I am an addict).
-And now I am going to sew my "Bag of Ideas".

Well, I had a pretty indoors holidays so far... but! but at least I go out when going to the gym, right? RIGHT? :3
Anyways, I like it this way. Not going to the city like I do every single day when I go to Uni... I feel relax and happy and energic and I'm very inspired by everything. Very productive! I wish it was like this once in a while during classes... I wish.

Alright friends. I am going to try to sew my bag and then try to needle felting. Yeah!!!
With alllllll my love and great mood, Safi.
XOXO

Today I've learn: Sunny days make everything a bit more easy.

"All yours"

Well, weather is just PERFECT!!! cloudy, windy and a bit dark already. Perfect for reading, watching some movie, drawing... relaxing stuff. Of course, I have a lot of Uni shit to do buuuut... in some weird way I have a renew energy to do all of them, even study.

This music video is from Eclipse'. I loooove this song (though my favourite from the soundtrack is "My love" by Sia) and the video is just great. Love Emily's hair, and the gloomy and blueish climate of the video reminds me of today... yeah, deffinitely. Oh, and the cottage where's Emily (the singer, by the way) is lovely.
Great video!

So, this is everything for now, I think. I won't write much about Eclipse' because I don't wanna be a spoiler... though I'll say something: Rob Pattinson's performance has improve A LOT! ^^

Today I've learn: some people think they know everything about everything.

XOXO

Tryin'

I became one of those people that the only thing that expects from future is a problem or some mistake. God, that's nasty, horrible indeed! Why do I have to feel this way??
You know, even when I try to wake my energy up it is very difficult, it's like every now and then something happens and I'm down again, moaning, absent, invisible and being nothing. I hate me when I'm like that! But, here it comes again, the truth. "Ain't about how fast I get there Ain't about what's waitin' on the other side It's the climb." Right???
Well, I'm kind of complicated lately... see?

Aaaanyways. I'm here to write that I'm trying and trying and trying. Oh and... HAPPY BIRTHDAY SIS!!!! LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!

Today I've learn: Argentina has heart (though I already knew that today I remembered!) XOXO Safi

Drawing makes me good!

Things are not going as I was expecting them to go... NONE of them, NONE! And when I wake up happy and nervous and excited, thinking I'll get some good news, they fail... I fail. First I stay quiet, deep in silence looking at the floor or some distant dot in a wall; then, anger rise up until my neck and start getting all red. After that I just stop talking, walk away and start drawing with the music during my way home.
I learnt from last year that crying for this kind of shit doesn't work, it makes it worse... No, now I just let everything rise until my neck, turn red and walk away so I can draw a bit. Drawing makes me feel so good! Thanks.
That shit happened again today (two times in a week, I should be destroyed...) and my friends immediately told me to calm down... poor them, worried...
In order of WHAT am I going to do about all that shit (and the rest that is still coming) I don't know what to do. I'll do my best -as I was uselessly doing all this time- and if it comes everything wrong again I'll turn red and walk away silently every time until Holidays arrive to save my sanity. That's all, there's nothing more I can do...

One more thing, I'm no longer freaking out for Eclipse's release... my trying of NOT crying or anything ruined it. Sorry.

Now... gotta go and paint a bit, I have a LOT to do for tomorrow but I'm fed up for today, really fed up, so I won't die to finish everything.

Today I learnt: Drawing on the bus is so much fun!
XOXO

PS: Thanks for reading my complains... this is the only place for me to do so.

Rain rain rain...

Well, bad mood and depress are gone... I think. Nah, yeah, they're definitely gone! And thanks to Aslan, I'm smiling and happy and with a bit of more energy to do stuff or maybe just go on. What helped?? Well, mostly the freedom to have some free-bad mood time for a while and let it go slowly, but let it show and not keep it inside as I've been doing this whole time... is good to do sometime, it makes you feel lighter then. What else?? Music helped too, friends, buying the ticket to go to the FANtastiCON next Saturday, watch the new HP & DH trailer (OMRowling!!!!), family and gym... definitely gym helped a lot!!

Argentina 1- Nigeria 0
Not as much as I expected from the match but... hell I liked the team!!! They played like a real argentinian team, with heart and soul! ^^ Part of them, the rest of their soul and heart are waiting for the finals!!! :P

What else?? Oh, right, IT'S RAINING!!! So, I'm inmediately going to draw and read and then watch a movie!! ^^ Nice weekend I'm having... what about you??

Today I've learn: Maradona can do nice things! ^^

XOXO

Rollercoaster

It is important to hold a smile or keep going when you're in bad times, it's when it worth and counts as real smiles and real efforts. But... what if I don't want to smile? What if I don't care to look happy all the freaking time anymore? Or just make believe I'm always cheerful?
Well, I'm fed up. I'm tired of rutine, of my fake smile this past week when what I really wanted to do is shout and run away; I'm tired of studying when I want to make and do so many other things I couldn't during summer. Oh, shit, tired of not sleeping well at nights because I dream too much and I wake up tired and sweaty like I've been in a battle or something.
I'm so tired and fed up.


But then they show up. They come down at the exact time they should, like angels, and relief me of some of my... rubbish. They appear and make me smile and relax and stop thinking so much... And I won't say who they are just in case I ruin something magic going on with them and me, and this precise moment to make me cheer a bit. I'll just say: THANK YOU!!

Today I've learn: I'm not obliged to be happy all the time, I'm allowed to be blue. XOXO
Safi

PS: I'm a bit better, thank you very much!
