To the sea i go

Today was my first day to swim in the ocean with my fins. yay!
I drug my hubby along to take pictures and video if you would like to see my videos click the title and it will take you there. He got some lovely ones if i say so myself.

(this picture one was taken at the snorkeling cove) Since it is octorber and all, i made sure i went on one of the warmer days hahah the water was still freezing. It was 77 outside that day and the water in la jolla stays about 76 all year round lol so you can even go in decamber that wouls be and interesting christmas picture.

We went to the la jolla coves in la jolla california and when we got there and walked to one of the many beaches (pictures above and below are at the tide pools) we discovered the most beautiful colors of green and red kelp and sealife were everywere to be seen! (we have never been out to the coves so late in the year before usely we go in the spring and summer when you can see the baby seals) it was beautiful!

This picture was fun to take i had to crawl out to this rock in the middle of the tide pools and hope that i didn't get hit by a wave lol

halloween handmade extravaganza!

The first edtion of the halloween extravaganza is of course a fairy.

This is a cute dragonfairy that lives in the trees behind my house.

Isn't she cute and dark and i think she was just ignoring me. trying to pretend i wasn't there. lol

oops she saw me!

The bright colors for these black and blue wings were inspired by the morpho blue butterfly.
but the shape of them was inspired by the dragonflies in my garden.

sea kelp mermaid fins

This is my next set of mermaid fins This set is called sea kelp mermaid fins.

If you want to watch video's of me swimming in my fins click the title of this post annd it will take you there.

This set are made of 2 layers of lycra/swimsuit fabric and four ruffles to make the fluke and side fins.The ruffles were something i had never tried to make before and it was really hard. O.O

I looked up on the internet how to make ruffled pillows and just made the ruffles long enough to fit the fins. Trying to scrunch them was a task though lol the first thing i tried was sewing floss in to the ruffle so that i could pull it and it would scrunch up. ya it didn't work that way lol. the floss kept ripping off and it was looking to much like a scrunchy pillow not a ruffle one. so istead i just did it the hard way lol and folded it they way i wanted it. it just took me longer to do but it was worth all the time and work because it looks awesome.

My inspiration was the kelp forests of la jolla coves ca.

baby giraffe fabric

My cousin called me the other day sheena sheena! I want you to make me two hats for a friend of mines baby shower. she was so cute and excited. She said i was standing in walmart in the baby department and i was looking at the cute baby hats with the little balls on top and thought it would be cute to have hats with ears on them and i had a epiphany! sheena makes hats with ears on top. She can make them for me!

so she disided that she wanted a bear hat and a giraffe hat. for her friends to little boys.

Well the bear hat was easy Fuzzy brown fleece with cute round ears. like the polar bear one on my kitsune fashion etsy site.

The giraffe one was a different story lol. Trying to find giraffe print fleece was hard O.O I looked everywhere! i looked at 4 different fabric stores and there was no giraffe fleece. i finaly found this adorable baby giraffe fabric with the help of the lovely ladies that work there at a local fabric store it's not fleece but it's fuzzy and cute so i think it's perfect!
