Is it nearly the end of the holidays?

My holidays started when Ramzan began, and since now it is nearly over, I think my holidays are coming to an end too. I have a 6-week holiday, so if a month is gone then that means I have only 2 weeks left! Eek! Ah well, I don't really mind. It's basically been rotting at home with your notifications, mentions, and mail boxes empty while you spend all day watching movies or on the internet (what else is there to do?!). I did read books, but my book collection is pretty bare. Anyway, in these last 2 weeks left, I shall be studying! Yes, me and studying. I know i just had some GCSE's but I need to remember stuff for year 11 too, so I hope that will make better use of my time!
That is all.

Good morning

Good morning. I am up at last. I know I usually don't do morning posts but i'm bored right now, and both my mentions and my notifications are empty. It's a thursday today (i had to check my laptop calender for that :P) and if today was a school day, I would be in school right now. But it's not a school day today and I have absolutely no idea what I should do today. I would usually watch a movie at 1:00 but yesterday me and my brother searched in vain for a good movie and couldn't find any. After watching a movie I would usually look for some bizarre new felt project but I have run out of ideas! I like making cases for small stuff, like ipods but between me and my brother there are only two ipods that are small enough for me to make cases for them, and I have already made cases for them. I would try to draw something but i've noticed this week that when i'm busy, i'm more creative and when I have nothing to do, I am not so creative. There's always the choice of cooking but I made a cake yesterday for a trifle and it hasn't finished so there really is no need. 

Lets hope I find something new to make out of felt.

The things produced when my time is occupied for once

This summer i've spent a lot of time making things out of felt. Generally I start my morning lazing around on the couch but later when I go on the internet I find these little things made out of felt that really inspire me. I don't tend to use a tutorial, I just kinda look at the picture and imagine how it's made and once I start making I can edit the designs a little. So here are some things I have made during the time when i'm not bored.

I made the bag because I'd made this pouch ages ago and it was pretty badly done so I undid all the stitches and made that bag instead. I use it to put all the little pieces of felt and random things in. The flowers go in the bag too. As you can see, I only had one colour of felt then.

After that first little tester with the felt bag, I managed to persuade my dad to take me to buy more felt. I got white, cream, red and green felt sheets (A4 size) and so I made these little mario mushrooms after getting inspired by playing mario kart 7 on my brother's 3ds. These mushrooms are one of mario world's many characters, and since my brothers are so obsessed with mario, I gave these to them. The red one's for the smallest and the green one's for the older one.

 Next I made these bookmarks, each taking a day to make. I like using the red heart one better but I think the cat and the fish one is cute (i'm a cat obsessed girl).

 After running out of small felt ideas, I saw that my ipod shuffle was sitting in random pouches I bought from Pakistan last summer, with my ear phones all squished and looking ready-to-break. I searched on google images for ipod shuffle felt cases and found something similar to the first image, except that picture was neater and taken with a better camera. I edited the design a little because the picture I used was for a longer ipod shuffle and mine is just a first generation one, so I had to make mine less-wide. I also attached a strap on the back and made something like a button so i can easily wrap my earphones around and not tangle them or have them un-wrapped. I have also made a little hole for earphones and the buttons on top.

And finally I made this yesterday. It's a case for an ipod shuffle 6th generation, mario style. It's green with white dots so it can be like the green mario mushroom, and has a cream face which acts like a button for wrapping the earphones around like the ipod shuffle case above. I made it for my brother because he doesn't really have a case and i'm paranoid he's going to gt scratches on it and the earphones will break. Just like the ipod shuffle case, this one also has a hole for the headphones and it also has a hole at the bottom for it to charge.

Anyway, that's all for now.

I think it's the middle of summer.

There we go; just updated some changes to this blog. I realised I’ve become a daydreamer who locks up all her emotions inside and builds a wall around her heart so no one can touch it. I also realised I understand more than most people think I do, like when I went to France I understood more conversational French than I thought I could, and even more than my French exchange thought I could (she thought I couldn't speak any French at all). And it's not only French; it's also complicated vocabulary and complicated story lines, for example I'm a massive Dan Brown fan (though not many people know it) and I spend a lot of time in my room reading his books. Last summer I read his book angels and demons which contains so much physics but I understood it all. This summer I’m re-reading the da Vinci code (my all time favourite).  I did think of doing something more creative this summer, but my day’s routine only varies slightly. The highlight of my day is usually watching a movie and making some new felt thing or checking twitter, but it doesn’t really get more exciting than that. The thing I look forward to most is getting long emails from my cousin, which gives me new ideas and inspires me. I know I know, you're probably thinking what a book-worm I must be, but I assure you the case is quite different. though I may spend my time in Dan Brown books, I can assure you the rest of my time I spend either testing my nail polish, playing with makeup or turning my room upside down in search of things I never knew I had. And as for friends? Well you'd be surprised at how many people stay in this country ;)

Thats all for now
