Sewing, Baking, Deco!!♥


   

Yes, as the title says! I've been wanting to create so much lately!!! :3

My biggest urge that I've had is to start baking things again! The last real thing that I baked was some cupcakes and a cake on valentine's day for my panda-man:





These turned out nicely, but now after looking at so many cute kitchen gadgets
 and all the delicious things you can make with them, I'm ready to try something more challenging!

One of the first things I want to bake are mini Hello Kitty kasutera cakes!(emote)
For this, I will be buying this silicone baking pan:

Kasutera is basically a Japanese spongecake, which is lighter and less sweet than american ones.
I am going to fill the insides with vanilla cream and fresh strawberries! 

It'll take a lot of work, but I'm pretty positive that it'll turn out the way I am envisioning it! 
I was inspired to create it after visiting this post at i-heart-baking!'s blog:

Her tiramisu cake turned out wonderfully! ^_^

Next on my list will be trying to make macarons, Japanese style parfaits and a two-tier strawberry cake shaped like a heart. There will be lots of strawberry flavored things because I absolutely adore anything strawberry!! 
  


I also am dying to get this pan as well:

Wilton Heart Tasty Fill Cake Set

Never seen anything so ridiculously cute AND edible before!!!! Right up my freakin' alley.   

Also I've been creating more deco. This is a mirror I've been working on:



Lawlz this is a crappy picture so it doesn't show the massive array of blingy-ness that I wanted it to xD

I'm kinda excited about deco-ing stuff again too, since the last time I did that was on my camera:


That has since been all cleaned off since I want a new camera, LOL.
But after the mirror I want to deco a case for my ipod, and the new camera that I'll purchase as well!

Aaaannd lastly...I'm trying to learn to sew again...
....which I am nervous about.
...because I am really really terrible at it.


However my mom is excellent at it, so I will shamelessly beg ask her to teach me! (again. T_T)
I wanted to create some stylish and girly shorts to wear this summer with these materials:



I was inspired to go along the same lines as these gyaru shorts that I saw on yumetenbo a while back:
ボトム,ショーパン,短パン,レース,リボン,チェーン,ウォレット,ベージュ,ラベンダー,ピンク,ブルー,ネイビー

Of course I don't think they'll turn out this cute, but I can certainly try right?? :D
I'm hoping all of this turns out the way I'm hoping it does...I really like to be original and create things that may inspire other people! ^_^

Do you have any creative hobbies you like to do in your spare time? ♥

Kohls' Model Search Update~~:3


It's raining outside as I type this entry and I love it! I adore the sound of rain!

On Tuesday I went to get measured to become a model for Kohls' department store, and all was well!
I was sooooo excited that I stayed up the night before planning my outfit:

Mint green, whoooo! 
 This seems to be a super popular color this spring since I've seen a lot of girls in this color.  The polish is by Sally Hansen, called "Mint Sorbet". 


This purse was love at first sight for me!
 I was so happy when I saw it on the shelf since I knew the color would match up just right.

So I paired it all out and it turned out pretty nicely, if I do say so myself:

Lace Blazer: Kohls
Brown top: Target
Mint pants: H&M
Belt: NY&co.
Cream heels: Target
Bag: Target

 

The fitting and measuring went nicely! 
 They measured me everywhere and even took a picture to keep on file as well. I admit...I kinda gawked when they measured my hips and they turned out to be 38 inches wide!!! *insert horrified face here* Totally didn't know where any of that could've come from...my mom made a joke and said it was because of my 'big backside'. Lol 
I also found out that I didn't qualify for intimates modeling since my poor little boobies are too small. >.< Which was kinda disappointing, but I had to remind myself that general modeling was my main purpose! ^_~

Decided to go for very light make-up and nothing too flashy since they probably needed to get a good look at my face:




And afterwards my mom was being a pro-photographer and took some really good pictures of me outside, since it was a nice day!:





The last two photos I edited with picnik lol....today is the last day it's open so I had to get my edit on!!! hahaah 

All in all the measuring was already a success, in my opinion! Regardless if I get called back or not...now I must wait and see. I am really hoping that they do! This is my second time trying out for modeling, and I'm praying that I can move forward with it now. 
 

On Saturday I have another tryout with Je Suis talent agency at 2pm, so hopefully this one goes well too! Please continue to offer me your support, because I'm really gonna need it! *nervous* D:

Would any of you ever want to try modeling? Have you ever done modeling at all, and what was it like for you?

Saturday's Code + make! xD



On saturday panda and I spent the entire day together! It was teh awesome-ness.




I had soooo much fun. I swear whenever I am with my panda bear, everything is just peachy!
I decided to go for a sassy gyaru look since we were going to a restaurant later that night:


(sorry for the darkness >.<)
Top: Dots
Shorts: Target
Leggings: Can't remember :(
Shoes: Target

My make-up was pretty daring too, since I've been starting to layer my lashes!! They've been looking so much better since I started this.
I first layered them for this look a while back:



Tried it a second time and it turned out even better!  :


(pictures edited with picnik lol xD)

Face: Fashion Fair Foundation + Concealer stick in "Pure Brown"
Eye shadow: Milani Baked Eye Shadow in "606 - Drenched in Gold"
Eye liner:  Maybelline New York Eye Studio Lasting drama Gel eyeliner in "Blackest Black" with Hard Candy Walk the Line Glitter eyeliner in "dream girl"
Top lashes: Ebay!
Bottom lashes: Diamond Lash Series 2: No. 5 Princess Eye
Lip color: MAC lipglass in "Pink Poodle"  layered with random glittery pink forever 21 lip gloss :p











Me and panda went to Botanas Mexican Restaurant in Milwaukee for our date.
No one's smile is as mischievous as his! 


Panda got a huge burrito while I ordered 3 yummy tacos:
These were so EFFIN good. I regret nothing. 
By the time we got back it was dark out, so panda took a photo of me gazing upon the beautiful city lights:
I am totally at peace when he and I have days like this. I know it's all mushy but I seriously don't know what I'd do without him. He is my best friend, someone who has been there for me when no one else has...I couldn't ask for anyone better. ♡^▽^♡




Tomorrow I'll be going to a modeling casting, and I'm excited yet nervous. <=/ Though I love the idea of modeling, I realize that I'm definitely not the most gorgeous chip off the 'ole block, lol. Anyway, I will go and hope for the best outcome! Wish me luck, my lovelies
