Hello lovelies,

I know I have not been the most active blogger in the past few months, but studying, working 40h and learning latin eats so much time. 

But it's this time of the year again, the fukubukuro time!

 Hi lovelies,

a few weeks ago I was in Prague and I loved it so much. Prague is one of my favourite cities, it kind of reminds me of Vienna all the time. Bohemia was long a part of the Hapsburg empire, it is no wonder that they look similar. I also had the same feeling in Krakow. As I have been to Prague numerous times already, I kind of ignored the most tourist-y places and they are therefore missing in the video. 

Another thing I love about the Czech Republic is the food. I could bury myself in dumplings with sweet and sour cabbage. We have something similar in Austria but it just feels great having Czech food in Prague. 

I hope you enjoy the video and subscribe if you haven't already. 

All the best,

 Hello lovelies,

I published another video on youtube; I made a ring and a short necklace from two Angelic Pretty keychains. And it worked better than expected. 

Enjoy the video, I will probably be on a small hiatus after this. 

All the best,

Hello lovelies, 

my newest vlog was uploaded on youtube a week ago - my Regency cap vlog. With it came a special little extra for all of my patrons - the sewing pattern for it. It took me ages to make and write the instructions but it is finally done and I am so happy about it. I am already planning my next project but university will start in October again so I only have a very limited time frame for it. Wish me luck!

If you want the sewing pattern to this cap - please consider joining me on patreon. It will be available for all 5€ tiers and upwards. 

And now off to the video, enjoy!

Have a great weekend,

Hello lovelies, 

I fell into the tambour embroidery rabbit hole again after handing in my final paper for university at the end of July. Two months of free time after work await me until October and I already did more creative work in these ten days than in the last eight months combined.

My first embroidery work was a fleur de lis. 

I even made a video which you can also find on youtube and Instagram. 

 I started out with the outline it gold rocailles and filled it with three different sized-pearls. It was a project where I just went along with the outline and didn't really have a plan. But it turned out so nice, I was really happy and motivated with it.

A very crooked moon was the next project. I was cussing at it so much because it just didn't look good and I felt a bit betrayed by it. 

I realize that not everything always comes out a 100% the way I wanted and perfect. For the next moon I just need to use smaller pearls and try to stay exactly on the outlines.

After this I made Sailor Moon wands, a stroke of genius because I just loved what I did. I didn't want to settle on the colour and size of the pearls and therefore made two versions. I would have thought that the pinker version with the smaller pearls was more popular, but an Instagram poll revealed that the pastel pink version was more popular. Well, that was unexpected.

After the wands came a cross, which did not turn out that well and is still unfinished. 

I also did a heart and embroidered the trans-flag colours. It turned out so cute. I even managed to sew the brooch pin and the edges and not use spray-glue, unlike the wands. 

I am thinking about doing a candy next or a cat, but I also want to continue my next project so maybe I'll do a mix of both. 

All the best,

Hi lovelies, 

It has been almost two months since we visited Castle Bernstein and I still have so much content to share. A video about the castle is in the making plus a Regency dress up. 

But for now I want to show you the pictures we did from my red Souffle song lolita coord. I planned the coord at home and decided to bring my prisila clip ins; staying in a castle required something more fancy. 

The light was not really that good for most of the indoor pictures and I had a bit of difficulties to get the colours right. In comparison, the pictures in the winter garden with the huge glass windows turned out amazing.

See the sudden difference in light and quality? Natural light is just the best. 

I uploaded this picture in its full size on my patreon!

Most of the furniture in the room is super old and from the time, when the family bought the castle in the 19th century. It was a mix from a few time periods and I loved it so much.

At first I thought that this was a picture of Empress Elisabeth, but it was an aunt of the current owners. Oops.
But here is a picture of Emporer Franz-Joseph. It is kind of random that a picture of him is in the room but it's an original.

I really enjoyed my stay at the castle, I hope I can go back soon!

The video from our stay will be uploaded soon, I am still on a monthly upload schedule but I have more and more content and maybe I can to at least 1-2 videos per month. 

All the best,

Auris Lothol

 

 Hi lovelies,

my new video from the unboxing of the glitzywonderland parcel is finally on youtube. 

Cutting always takes ages with me. :(

I got three new painting dresses and the fresco painting dress is my favourite. 

Enjoy!

All the best,
