Winter, boots and raw food

Winter finally strikes. It was quite warm for a winter till last week, when the cold weather came back and now it's -16 Celsius. Not that cold but still... I already had hopes it will be a winter with no snow. But, oh well...At least I have my warm coat and a hat that keeps my head safe from the stingy weather. Do you spot my new boots? The brand is DEMONIA.  The shop had a good discount for the last pair that was of my size, so I bought them. They are really comfortable, but I'm afraid they won't last long since it's a artificial leather. I'm thinking about saving money for another pair of New Rocks that would be flat. I know they are worth the money they cost. So New Rock boots and another piece of Alchemy Gothic jewelry is on my list of  things I want in 2014 :D. 

 Off to work.

Other things on my list is get more raw food in my everyday meals. I'm doing quite well, I'd say. I don't use any mayo or other sauces from the shop. Instead I blend avocado or cashew with garlic and herbs I have.
My favorite at the moment is green pea and carrot salads.

I use cashew "mayo" and add leek. Today I also  blended banana with cacao, few cashew nuts, a piece of avocado and added some sesames on top. It was really tasty. It was a little hard at first since I struggled with the ideas what to have for lunch at work. Winter is not the best time to start raw diet since all veggies and fruits become  quite expensive:D But I really do feel great. No more heave feeling after meals and that is great.

Kimono and mini cupcakes for BJD

We are  having a BJD kimono workshop, where our super talented friend Inari San is teaching how to make a gorgeous kimono for our dolls. So as a thanks to here I made a little sweet set that would fit the dolls. It's cupcake, tartar and a doughnut. It was a first try to make food after a long period, but I think I did good. 

First Set ( the gift)

Second set

Available at my shop at "BJD accessories" section

This one is meant for smaller bjd that are 1/4 size. As you see it's a little bit to small for my 58 cm doll. But I'm making another one that will fit the size of larger BJD :) 

And here's the kimono I'm working on.

It's being made just like a real size kimono and there are some rules you have to fallow. I have a one sleeve finally done with all inner lining and so on. I'll have another done till next meeting and hope then I'll finish it. 

I hope it will look good. Check out her blog and the kimono she is making.

Did I tell that the fabric we are using are actually a real vintage kimonos. They have stains on some places so they are not wearable, but there is enough fabric to make a few kimono for dolls. And she has quite a stock of them :) :D 

When I picked this color I was not choosing it for some special reasons, but later I found this picture of Tomoe from Kamisama Hajijemas and could not be more happy about it :D

I'll make a cosplay of him for Haru. Now that I have the main piece :D

Well, that's how my summer rolls.
