diy frenzy









shorts - self made
blazer - self made
shirt - vintage, gift

decided to take the diy gift route this holiday season
well.. it was more of a necessity, than a decision
as i really can't afford to buy any gifts at the moment..
so.. i'm pretty much a mess these days
and my apartment looks like bunch of hyperactive burglars broke in
and demolished everything
..
and the fact that in the middle of that diy marathon
 i got obsessed with shorts making
doesn't help at all
..
at this moment
i'm working on a bunny toy
(silly right.. but i'm not really a holiday person
and i like bunnies better that reindeers
so, what the heck)
and couple of bags and few shirts and pants
i just made bath bombs
(not quite successful ones, though)
and i also plan to sew a sparkly holiday dress for me
and, because that obviously is not enough
i plan to make a brand new winter coat for me
..
so.. i can't leave the city
until i'm done with all that diy-ing
and i really hate the city this time of the year
all the firecrackers and mass hysteria drive me nuts
(which is the reason why i spend my new year's eves 
in the middle of nowhere)
..
so.. i have about a week to finish all that
10 days at most..
luckily, christmas in this parts of the world
won't come until 7th of january
so, i might just make it
..
