I was going to post this yesterday but got a bit side-tracked... XD

My Cath Kidston inspired nails! (which I possibly based off about 3 YouTube vids although mine look cooler! XD)



Pretty?  The other hand is exactly the same.  I want to try this again some time with pale blue underneath ^_^

What else have I been up to?  Sewing, sewing, sewing.  I have finished two skirts for me, nearly finished a dress for me, for C and a skirt for T.  I have to do the dress for T soon before I it becomes something that I just keep going, 'Yeah yeah I'll sew that soon...' as it goes to the bottom of the pile... XDDD

I'll post up some pics of the clothes as the skirt is super cute!  Which reminds me I have to email L and M as I have finished their dresses and need to send them!  Must do this!

And make a sales post...*sigh*  So much stuff still to do!

1. sew.  Ultimately you make huge fuckups and then you're more annoyed.
2. type.  I always seem to hit more random keys when I'm annoyed. Which then makes me more annoyed.
3. talk to people.  People always say stupid shit.  This makes me more annoyed too.
4. think about having to go to work.  I KNOW work will be full of stupid people.  I hate stupid people especially when I'm already annoyed. Also this annoys me because I have to go to work. Work is annoying. And stupid. And full of stupid annoying people.

Basically I should just stay in my room until I'm not annoyed by random shit any more.
seventh_sister: (Default)

I hate my job. Can I just fucking quit now?

I have 4199 words so far.  I haven't written my conclusion yet which needs to be about 600 words.  I have to get to a total of somewhere between 5000-6000 words.  It's so going to skim in on 5000 words... T_T  I have work in an hour...don't want to go...just want to get this horrible thing done but my brain is going NUH! ENOUGH! ;_;  I weep for my stupid brain and hope that this essay is somewhat coherent and I will pass.

And then I read the requirements for applying for JET. 
2. Essay (Please read this BEFORE writing your essay.) Your essay must be no longer than two, single sided, A4 pages. It must be typewritten and double-spaced.

Your own views on the aims and ideals of the JET Programme are also important.

Yes that right another essay to write.  And the end date for the application is 12pm 30th November.  I am running out of time and still need the two reference letters back.  I am totally not panicking b/c if I start panicking about this then I'll start about the whether or not I'm even going to graduate from uni.  (;*´Д`)ノ  *PANIC*   XDDD

At least it'll be over soon... (oT-T)尸

ETA: The JET application is in the post!  I have it on track and trace and overnight courier so it will look it up about a million times tomorrow to see when it gets there.

Today officially sucked.  After working one job 9-12:30 and then the other job 1-8:30 I thought I'll grab something for dinner on the way home since the oven isn't working.  (I have pizza made up ready to cook but the oven isn't working and anything else will take at least 40mins to get ready).
So I stop at the 2-4.  I buy some hot chips and a bit of fish. Go out to grab the bike and walk the rest of the way home (about a minute).  And what happens?  The fucking chips are in a paper bag and the bag just rips completely open and my chips are on the ground.  bye bye dinner... T_T  *sigh*  I do not have the energy to deal with anything right now.  I ate my fish.  I'm still hungry.  I am not making fucking bacon sandwiches again.  Options?  ...another sandwich...ooooo!  I have bagels!  I will eat bagels with cream cheese and jam!  Fuck you chips!  I have BAGELS! HA!  ...I hope they're not needing to be toasted...I only brought them a day ago... T_T Food...food...food....

About another ten minutes to boarding and fifty to take off. I can't wait to get to Osaka and see Y-chan and A-chan again and I'll get to see A-chan's two very cute kids!
London was awesome and I'll get some pics up on Facebook when I get back to NZ.

But for now I went to the Doctor Who Experience when I was in London and so here is an amusing photo I took ^_^

Soooo.... $966 dollars and about a million fillings later... I am reminded why I don't like going to the dentist. T_T  After enduring the pain on Friday for the right side of my mouth I went back today for the left side.  The fillings themselves were bad enough but the clean and polish at the end?  TORTURE!  Like seriously the guy *knew* I am a total baby and yet he still attacked me when doing the cleaning thing.  When he told me to do the whole rinse and spit it at the end it was vile - spitting out blood should only be for when you're really ill and stuff like that. EWWWWWWWWWW!!!
And also a big EWWWWWWWW for having a numb mouth.  I went to the dentist at 2pm and only now 7 hours later has the anaesthetic finally worn off...which of course means that I bit the inside of my cheek when I was eating ;_;  -100 points to having to go to the dentist. Also OMS my jaw is aching!  It was only the right side but after today it's both sides.  Eating tea was not terribly fun...

Rendering video is annoying.  14 minutes footage = 7.5 hours rendering time.  Yes that is right. Seven and a half hours.  I could probably reboot my computer and it'd be a bit shorter but not by much.  On Sunday it took about 3 or so hours to render 8 minutes of footage.  At least M won't expect her wedding DVD the same week as the wedding, unlike some people who have no concept of how long it actually takes.  I will have to say to T tomorrow how long it took so perhaps she can get it why I couldn't finish the DVD last week (that and I only have a small amount of the day that I'm not working already in and do have to do other stuff too!)

I'm sure there was a bunch of other stuff that I was going to post about but the dentist and DVD rant took precedent... XDDD

Cleaning out my emails and what do I find?  About 10 emails from you Rini either as emails or notifications of comments on LJ.  Now however I have only 12 messages in my inbox!!! Awesome.  And there's an email I still have to reply to for you Rini.  You are so demanding aren't you??? XDDD

PHOTO TIEM!
It rained and rained like crazy here last week and while I was walking from my Teacher's Aide job to Tech I pass by Otepuni gardens with the estuary/stream thing running thru it.
This was what it looked like a week ago and again today when the weather has been pretty good and has been for the last few days.  You can totally see why they built flood banks... XDD

    

So for the next 10 weeks I'm going to be working 5 - 10 at the Warehouse on top of everything else I'm doing.  If you hear from me during this period it'll be on the weekend when I'll be dying and sleeping a lot.  Although I am super happy that I don't have to get up early on Sunday for 10 weeks!!!  Yay for late wake ups!

I need to get G's aerobics outfit sorted pretty soon as she'll be competing in June.  The mock up we did looks pretty cool so I just need to cut it out in the proper material and get started on decorating it.  Oh crap and then do D's super duper fast.  He's having a suit-like outfit with a tie and everything.  It should hopefully look pretty cool.

Also DR WHO IS AWESOME!  Neil Gaiman is such a good author and wrote such a good script.  Also the second season of Sherlock is filming now too.  I hope its good.  Also a new season of Natsume Yuujinchou is coming soon.  It's such a cute series and it'll be nice to see it animated.
Anyhoo gonna go paint my nails and vege for awhile.

Hey hey hey!  So finally the dress designs that I've been meaning to post.  Photos are kinda bad thou...

Awesomeness this way... )
 

And I have picked up another part time job!  10 hours a week in the mornings mon-fri working as a Teacher's Aide at a primary school.  I will be working mainly with a really cute little girl who is five and has a cochlear implant.
That starts this Monday from 9 to 12:30 then rush over to Tech from 1 to 3.  Then on Wed, Thurs and Fri I also have work 5pm to 1:30am.  I am going to die on Wed and Thurs... (Friday has no Tech, but instead I have my cleaning job for 2 hours... ;_; )
seventh_sister: (zuellni)
These nails were the ones I had painted for Easter! ^_^  I had to take it off already because they were so chipped thou...

The first pic shows the patterns better but the second pic shows the colours truer.

    
seventh_sister: (Natsume Yuujinchou)
So I still don't have my skirt back but I have photo's of it up to a really close to finished point so here they are ^_^
Skirt pics ^^ )

A pattern and a block~ )

Next post is going to be with some designs I'm going to be making soon(-ish).  They're so cool!  Must finish other stuff first thou...
seventh_sister: (zuellni)
TADAAAAH!!!!



I wore this out on Friday with a red cardigan and my black boots (it's cold and wet here...).  This week is OMS do some bloody study for Uni week. STUDY STUDY STUDY!!! ^_^
seventh_sister: (birds in sky)

So it's winter here but I'm making summer dresses... *is crazy*



          

Next is the orange shirt-dress and a blue with white polka dot dress.  Slightly more winter appropriate. ^_^
seventh_sister: (Default)

These are the pieces for the jacket. 
The first pic has the back --> then the front pieces.  The second pic has the sleeve --> the pocket piece and the collar.



The finished jacket!  It was far too big for Dad and when I tried it on it was pretty funny how big it was.  Not 8XL by any means but waaay bigger than the supposed XL it was supposed to be. 

    

The next project is the skirt which I've started on - I've cut it out and started sewing it - and will update with photo's when it's finished (sometime this week I should think ^_^)  I'll try to take more in progress photos this time. ^^
seventh_sister: (Default)
I have been a busy little bee lately.  Class is getting more interesting as we cut out the polar fleece jacket on Thursday and will get to start sewing on Monday.  Yay!  I took photos of the cutting process of the class:

This is laying out the pattern blocks and drawing around them with chalk.  The random objects are to hold the fabric and pattern from moving.


starting the cutting process and another piece (the arm I believe) nearly completely cut out.
 

I will take photos on Monday of the individual pieces and what the pattern says it should look like finished. ^_^

Well in other excitement.
Last week's nails were pretty cute:

I don't have a photo of my nails at the moment but on Saturday (the day before my birthday!) I went and got my nails done at a salon with acrylics.  They look pretty funky.  I'll take a photo soon-ish... XDD

[livejournal.com profile] putana is very naughty for getting me caught up in watching Supernatural.  I have devoured the first 5 seasons and am up to the sixth which I will catch up with soon-ish. I think Cas is kick arse.  Definitely my fav character.  Although I got her hooked on Criminal Minds so I guess it's a bit of a fair trade... XDDD

I have applied with some other places in town and hopefully I'll here back and get some other work so I can say "fuck you" to my current job.  That would be OMS brilliant.

Those that are in Japan - I hope you are all safe!  I haven't heard back from Y-chan yet and I know she's in Osaka but her brother and his wife and their two gorgeous kids live in Tokyo.  Be safe!
[livejournal.com profile] unjaundiced keep safe and away from the tsunami. Don't try stealing a waka/surfboard/yacht/sailboat/arc to make your way to NZ. It just wouldn't be your best idea... XD

Right I'm sure that there was more I was going to blah blah on about here but can't remember what...oh yeah!  The boring woman from the first aid course.  She was such an opinionated freak that thought she knew best about everything.  Such an annoying woman. It didn't help that I had *such* a headache today that I was nearly falling asleep in class today.  It was soooooo boring thou too!!!

Boohoo I have work tomorrow and Sunday.  I mean it's good that I've got work which means money to save but otherwise I can't really be arsed. *sigh*

And I still haven't heard from my professor...I need to know whether or not I can write the essay on the topic I want to.  Get back to me already!!! D:

Well time to sign off and get to sleep.  Earth don't fall apart any more while I'm asleep 'kay thanx.
