A breath of spring

A new flexi-8 from cultmate.de arrived yesterday. Silver dragonfly with blue beads and blue danglies. I absolutely adore this one. 

 

Insert Exciting Title Here

I think we should just conclude that I'm a terrible blogger. Seriously. I didn't forget about the blog, I just kept saying to myself "I'll do a post tomorrow instead". Clearly "tomorrow" means "never" in my world. Ah well. Once again I'll try to get better, but I'm not making any promises. =P

Since last time I posted, I've decided that I'll cut my hair back to waist during the easter break. I'm sick of these damaged, ratty, tangly ends, and I also want to wear my hair down more. I guess I'm just in the mood for a big change. I'll probably end up letting it grow long again after that, because I seriously doubt I'll be able to remember to cut my hair. =P
I've also learned to make fabric and satin flowers, which is a lot of fun. I made an obnoxiously huge tulip comb for myself today, and I'm so thrilled with it. I may open an etsy store some day, otherwise I'll probably drown in satin flowers.

Fairies

These arrived a lot sooner than expected, so today's buns are very matchy matchy. AB and pink fairies! So pretty! I also decided to change things up a bit, and did braided lazy wrap buns. I should do this more often, it only took a few minutes to do two english braids. The buns are actually the same size, it's just the angle that makes the right one look bigger.
But back to the adorable flexi-8s! I took a lot of pictures, so sit back and enjoy!

Zig Zag and Glittery Silver

Never thought I'd actually want any of the glittery Ficcares. Certainly didn't think I'd end up buying a glittery silver Innovation, but I did and I'm very happy about it. Look how pretty! And sparkly! And it goes perfectly with the Zig Zag gold & silver Innovation I purchased from someone on LHC. Both are size Medium. Please excuse my hair in the picture, I washed it today and didn't have time to let it dry completely.

The Sapphire Collection

It's no secret that I'm crazy about the blue Flexi-8s, so here's my tiny Sapphire collection. I clearly need more! ^-^

Itsy Bitsy

My teensy weensy flexi-8s are here! As usual, much sooner than expected! And my oh my, they are so pretty! I have never seen clear AB beads in person before, but I sense a new addiction.. I'm hypnotized by them, by how they sparkle, all the colours.. Amazing!
I've also tried out matte AB sapphire beads for the first time, because Steve said that these had more AB in them than the regular AB sapphire beads did. I quite like them. They're not as sparkly as the ones I'm used to, they're darker and more muted, but very pretty. They go really well with the gold flexi.
I had to try them on immediately, so I took down my bun and made a quick fishtail braid. I tried the Lovely Circle Stone-set Aurora Borealis flexi first, this one is size Extra Small.

The picture doesn't do it justice at all, because it's amazingly gorgeous in real life! I'm so happy I got this one. The size is pretty perfect for securing braids.

I didn't feel like removing that one, so I put the other flexi above it. The more, the merrier! This is the Prominent Dragonfly in antiqued gold, customized with matte AB Sapphire beads. The size is small, which is also good for securing braids, though this size does tend to start sliding downwards after a while.

It's really weird, but.. I have a feeling that the people over at flexi8.com like me..

Maybe I'm just imagining stuff =D

Emerald Dream

LillaRose Flexi-8 of the Month March 2013. I love this one, and I feel incredibly lucky to have gotten it. I managed to snap it up during the last sale on LillaRose, when they suddenly put a bunch of old FOTM styles in the store. I love emerald, and as with sapphire, I just can't get enough.
