Presents to myself from the Christmas Market

Plus bonus winter wonderland view from my living room window!

I got to be there for "baby's first christmas market" as I went to the market with a friend of mine and her baby. That was pretty cute! The market was gorgeous as well, though unfortunately it was bloody cold and my back stiffed up on me. That was less... pleasant...

The christmas market itself was great though! They always have very artistic stalls with lots of handmade stuff. I had so much fun looking at all the beautiful things! If someone handed me 1000€ I could have easily spent it there and brought presents for everyone. As it is, I only bought one present and some presents for myself. Because I can!

I got myself some very mori kei-esque decor. The first purchase was a felted fairy/fae creature in a brown garment with a hazelnut hat. They look so precious! The second was a medium sized wooden stamp. I've actually got a bit of a collection started here - I bought four such hand whittled wooden stamps years ago as a teenager, because they look so gorgeous. Actually, I have a stamp collection in general but these are extra special with the wood used and their natural look. The texture and shapes are very pleasing. I decided to add stamp number 5 to the collection.

On the second (and final) lap of the christmas market I also had to buy myself a big wooded plate stamp. It's SO gorgeous!! I couldn't believe my eyes almost when I first saw it. And it was surprisingly affordable, for it's quality and size. I would have estimated about double the prize. I decided I'm worth to spend money on and took the beautiful plate home! ♥

I'm planning to do a "stamping session" sometimes next year. Hold me to it!!

Picture 1: A beautiful snowy view out of a window. You can see flat roofs covered in snow and many snow covered trees! A winter wonderland.

Picture 2: A hazelnut fairy/fae creature made from felt. They're wearing a long brown garment and a hat with two hazelnuts on it. Their scarf is a green hazelnut leaf.They look happy! They've been wrapped in plastic to transport them home safely.

Picture 3: A medium sized hand whittled wood stamp, with the pattern traced in white to show it better. The shape has a vague cone shape (like a tree cone) and the pattern is reminiscent of leaves and ferns. It's photographed on a knitted reddish-and-magenta coloured sock.

Picture 4: A close-up of a big wooden stamp - it's a plate about the size of two hands held next to each other. The pattern is again traced in white. It consists of interlocking flowers and ornamental shapes and leaves.

Picture 5: A weathered looking blue wall shelf is shown. It houses two flowerpots and a white bird cage, styled with fabric flowers and fake birds and crystals. There's some more decorative pieces scattered about. Newly added are the medium-sized wooden stamp, the hazelnut fairy and the big wooden plate stamp. I also grouped a little plate piled with chestnuts and acorns in front of the hazelnut fairy and wooden plate stamp. They just go together!

Picture 6: A close-up of the new addition of the hazelnut fairy and the big wooden plate stamp, with the little plate filled with chestnuts and acorns in front of it.

costumizing my my braces: part the third

(part 1 here, part 2 here)

so, there has been a little while since i last got to work on the braces, they are however now functional because i finished all the stitching!

first things first it turned out that when i ironed on the htv i also managed to iron shut the little pocket that holds the metal piece, yknow the thing kinda essential to the support of the braces....

now, on the right hand brace that was fine, the design sits on top of the hand and the metal support is on the inside of the wrist. on the left hand however, the design is Also on the inside of the wrist. so i had to make a new little pocket.

[ID in ALT]

its very simple, just some scrap with the ends turned in and folded so i can get the support piece in without it sliding out when in use. to save myself on bulk (and work) i just zig-zagged the edges shut, and then i whip stitched the pocket into the brace.

next up was the decorative stitches keeping the little flap on the inside of each brace down, green and purple cross stitches on the right, gray backstiches with red whipped(?) details on the left.

[ID in ALT]

my hand stitches are usually more even than this i swear, but the material + needing to make sure i catch the flap made it hard to be exact. plus; its punk, not perfect right?

as for the velcro parts i decided to sew them on by machine because i know ill need to replace them at some point ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

thats it for this time, next is the final decorations (post linked here when its up, or just check the "operation make the braces not suck" tag on my blog) and then ill try to get some good pictures of the finished braces!
