Artist ally, standards in pricing, and a continuation of an discussion.

This post is a conversation i was having on facebook with a group of people who sell at convention regularly. I'm suggesting that there be a price standard, which can be a touchy subject. Here's what I think:

Sprite and gummy bear popsicles

What to do with flat soda? Yes! Turn it into an ice cold sweet Popsicle! I believe th

is is simply regular sprite. You could do it with any soda, bu the clear lemon lime kind will allow you to still see the cute and colorful gummy bears suspended in the bar.

As far as I've been able to find, it comes from this tumblr

Instructions on how to make it can be found here.

Cupcake time

Every cute, sweet, magical girl loves cupcakes. Philly cupcake is a magical cupcake palace, and they recently opened one closer to my home. They have a super adorable, pink and blue sparkly decor, and all of their baked goods are super cute, as well as tasty. They sell chocolates too, which I have been excited to try. I'd love to host a meet up in the pretty seating area they have, but my shyness won't let me. >.< Wouldn't it be cool to do a pop up shop there?

I'll get you more pictures of the store next time I pop in for a cupcake. 

Where to buy Mini parfait cups glass

These little glasses are very popular for deco jewelry. At one point, I was looking all over for these. I decided that I did not wish to make deco type items, but this is still one of the best prices I've seen for these.

For 20, the cost is $6.99 and the shipping is free. I will not resell these, instead I will simply send you the link to the store.

You can buy them here.

Hello Kitty Nail Tutorial by Afterfiveee on Drop Dead Cute

Our new Amigurumi baby, craft decorations, and rainy day photos

 Oh hello! I have been very busy lately, so no posts. I was invited to a show at the public television studio, WHYY, to sell accessories at a craft table.

 I spent a long time making decorations for the table and extra items to sell. I hope people post pictures soon, because I was silly enough to not take my camera!
 

"Dear, Should we sell this cute amigurumi?"

"No no, he's far too cute! He must stay home, with us!"

I love amigurumis!

Here is the pattern for the one Drew is holding.

P.J. Wins! He stays with us!!!

This is one of my favorite looks, because I love colorful hair. It is safer for me to not dye my hair, because I greatly dislike the extra work of taking care for it.
 Maybe one day when I am famous and have plenty of extra money, I will pay for lavish special treatments for my dyed hair. For now, I enjoy having temporary dyed hair.

Is it ok to post older pictures? I have run out of new pictures for for now, and I have not posted these on my blog before.

 


I love rain! I would like to wear my hair in this hime style again soon. These pictures were taken a year ago, and now it is finally spring again. It is taking a long time to get warmer, and there are still some days where there is light snow. I am buying all the hats and gloves on sale for next year!

Soon it will be warmer, and I will be able to wear more fun outfits like these. I have spent a long time sewing during winter, and have new skirts to wear!

Ok! Thats all for now! Thank you for reading. And if you have any cute things you think I may like, could you add your comment? thank you!

My Personal Blog: Shoes and stuff!

I think most gyaru have there own blog, where they post pictures of the things they buy, and there make up looks. I don't want to fill my main blog for Fluff Accessories with such things, so they will go here!

My name is Jamie, but my friends call me P.J. (no one calls me P.J Sparkle, but I wish they did)
I am 24, and my birthday is April 25th (Taurus)
I live in Philadelphia, in a house I have named "Sparkle Land" (more pics of that someday)
I am the designer of Fluff Accessories. Inspired by Japanese street fashions like Gyaru and Lolita, and Hime Deco, and a general desire to stand out, I create things to make others feel beautiful and happy.

But this blog isn't about that. It's just about
MEEEEE!!

 
This is me, today, as I type this. My boyfriend is sick, and I have been meaning to go out and get a new filter for our humidifier, but I haven't been willing to leave him alone. I spent alot of time doing my make up, so that I would not have to leave the house. Also, it is very cold out (although he claims it was warmer today) That is why this is not an outfit post. I am bundled up in sweats, and jeans to stay warm. At least I have my favorite hat to keep me warm.

These pictures are from yesterday.Clicking each should give you a bigger size.

The bow and the bracelet are designs I am working on.

I'm gettting used to my make up routine for the first time in ages. I lost one of my circle lenses about a month ago. (It fell down the drain while I was putting them on) I suppose that's what I get for leaving the water running. How wasteful!

While I didn't have them, I didn't have the heart to do gyaru makeup. It doesn't feel the same to me without lenses. I had also gotten into the habit of wearing them while not in gyaru, I just feel naked without them!

These are the contacts I use:
Geo Bambi Sesame Gray (Princess Mimi)
I got them from HoneyColor

 I think these lenses are fairly common, and lots of people order from Honey color. I think they are probably one of the most popular websites for circle lenses. I love the grey color, because It isn't too un-natural. Brown would be to common, and "everyone" gets hazel contacts. The grey just adds enough of a highlight that makes my eyes more noticeable.

"Someone bought me something!"

Last for today, a pair of boots I am making covers for. The style of boot is called a "granny boot"
 probably because of the small heel. I call it a "kitten heel" but I like the thought of my grandmother wearing these, so I'm ok with calling it a granny heel. They were one of my wonderful Christmas gifts from my boyfriend.

These are the boots, with the covers. They are removable, so I can wear them with a different pair.They still need a bow, with maybe some stones, or pearls. I should order flat pearls,so that I do not have to sew them on by hand each time. Instead, I can use strong glue, and enjoy pearls on more of my things.


This is what they look like without the boot cover.

Ok that's all for now! Welcome to my blog!!!! -P.J.
