Merry Christmas!!





I want to wish my dear friends, family and followers a merry christmas!

Christmas is always a very special time for me, it's so great to see my family again and to be with friends.
On Christmas eve I went with my mom to friends,we had dinner there and we all watched the television program ''All you need is love''.
On the First Christmas day I went with mom and grandma to my family, it's was so nice to see them again! They don't live close to my home, so we can't see each other very often.
Today I had a 'Christmas breakfast' with my mom and tonight I'm going to have dinner at my dad's place.

For me Christmas is about spending time with family and friends and to have a great time with each other, it's not about the presents. Not I don't like to get presents! ^_~ 

I got some amazing Christmas presents, I got all kinds of  Japanese stuff from friends, it's so nice I got that!
I got from my aunt and uncle a antique candelier and a sort of sea chest which looks like a pirate chest! ^___^ Unfortunately I can't show those already because those things needs renovation, I will show you it when it's ready.
And I'm going to shop with my mom for Christmas, I don't know when or where, that's a surprise...

How was your Christmas? Did you visit family? Did you get nice presents?

Best Wishes,
Nyappy Anne

Doll 'wishlist'







 
When I talk about lolita fashion or about lolita clothes I always talk about dream item and which item I want to have. I never did this with Ball Jointed Dolls before, you probably thought I didn't have a doll wishlist!
I know I'm never going to buy all these dolls, I don't want that.. Buying everything for you want doesn't make you happy,I think. So it isn't a 'real' wishlist, it's a list of my favorite dolls at the moment, I'm sure one of these days I will buy one of these cuties. ^____^

Only there are two problems:

1. If I want another doll I think I have to move, my mom doesn't want me to buy too much dolls..
Four dolls was her limit, at the moment I own already five dolls.
2. Ball Jointed Dolls are very expensive, I'm don't have much money, and there is a posibility that I have
to move next year and living alone is very expensive...

Maybe if I save up I can buy another doll but I don't think I can spent a lot of money one dolls the next upcoming years. : (

Do you like those dolls? Do you have a wishlist or a dreamdoll yourself?
I would like to know that! ^___^

~~ We are glowing in the dark ~~


I went to the Coldplay concert yesterday, together with Renske.
It was amazing! I have had a great time, it was the best concert I have ever been to.



It kind of difficult to tell about when you wasn't there..
I think I'm going to show you a video, then it's easier to explain:



Can you see all those lights? Yeah, those lights are bracelets with light in it. ^^
When it became dark, everyone was glowing in the dark.
That wasn't all, there were falling baloons from the ceiling...
And more of these amazing things happend during the show!


Of course Coldplay was very good, I think they are even better live then on the CD.
There aren't many bands who are as good as them live, I think...
I loved to hear their music live and they played some of my favorite songs  (Every teardrop is 
a waterfall, Viva La Vida, Up in Flames, Violet Hill)
So... They played not only songs from their new albums also a few from other albums. ^^






 I don't know anything more to tell then:
If you are doubting to go to Coldplay, please go!
It's will cost time and a lot of money only it's absolutely worth it!  ^______^ 



*None of these pictures or movie are/is mine, I wasn't lucky enough to stand so close to the band xD *


ByeBye! :D

goals for 2012 ~~

Hello ^__^

The year 2011 is over soon, that means it's nearly 2012.
What's this new year going bring me?
And what am I going to do in 2012?
What are my plans?
Let me tell some of my plans for 2012 to you!
 
  • I want to sew more clothes. I want to design my own lolita outfits and make those for myself, I can wear a totally unique outfit then. I want to become better in sewing clothes and things ^.^ I want to make a blue sweet lolita dress and a long aristocrat dress inspired on a MMM dress, I can't wait to begin. Hopefully, I can finish those dresses next year!
  • I want to improve my lolita coords and make some new ones. I love lolita fashion, so I'm going to wear it as much as possible next year. I hope I can buy one of my dream dresses next year. ^^
  • Attend more meet-ups, I went to a many meet-ups in Summer but after that I only went to one meet-up and to the EFF in Arcen. Both meet-ups were so much fun only I want to see the lolita friends more often. It's such a shame I live so far away! :(
  • I want to find out what I really want to become, I have completely no idea what job I want to have for the rest of my life..
  • Show more (better) pictures of my Ball Jointed dolls and improve their styles. I hope I can be happy with all their looks next year~~
  • Going on a trip to Iceland, I hope it's possible next year, because this year I wasn't able to go due some stupid conditions. I can't wait to go, Iceland has beautiful nature, I want to see animals who live there which I have never seen before in real life and visit the hot springs near Reykjavik, going to Reykjavik and of course see some geysers. I'm really looking forward to it!
I think this was it for next year, of course I have more plans for next year but those are more personal, I don't want the whole world to read them. *that's possible when you put things on the internet*

This week I made this choker, I hope you will like it!
It's a choker with a butterfly on it, I love butterflies <3

Thanks for watching! <3

Let's fly away!

Hello everyone! ^____^

Some weeks ago I said I was working on a belt for myself.
Let me tell you why: I saw this belt on the blog from Velvetbat and I loved that belt.
I was so pretty, I wanted to have something like that myself...
So.. I asked if she wanted to do a commission, but she said no.
*Now I totally understand this, Velvetbat! It's difficult to make a belt like this, it's not that
easy as it looks like...*
Still I wanted to have that pretty belt, that's why I asked my teacher if I could make something
like that and I could...
Three weeks later, I finished this corset and I'm so happy!
It's not perfect, I know that, but I put lots of energy in it so I'm happy it's finished.

Let me show you were this belt is based on:
It's from the Gyaru brand TutuHa, isn't it a lovely belt?! ^__^
And this is the one Velvetbat made, the belt I made is based on this one because I like it
more than the original.

It's time to show you the belt I made:

Picture while I was working on the belt...

Me wearing the belt:





I hope you will like it! ^__^
Now I'm working on a red summer dress....

I kind of liked to make that belt, this week I was so bored,
and I decided to make the same belt for Noah:


This weekend I was reading the news paper and I saw this, it's about Ball Jointed Dolls and their owners:


It written in Dutch, it's about their dolls, why they have dolls like that, how many dolls they own and
what they do with their dolls..
It was very interesting to read!  ^^

A friend of mine made a drawing for me, I'm so happy! :D
It's beautiful, I totally love it!
It's so sweet, she made this for me. ^^


Please go to deviantart to see it in the real size, it's too
big to post it on my blog in the real size..


ByeBye, See you next time! :D

The march of the chocolate mice (and frogs)

Hello dear readers!

I want to say hello to my new followers, thank you for following my blog ! ^.^
I could never imagine, I would have 30 followers!

As you all can see I changed my blog lay-out, I was in for something new..
So I hope you all like it!  The 'drawing' on the front is from Anton Pieck.
He was an amazing dutch artist, let me show you some of his works:




Anton Pieck also designed 'De Efeling' a Dutch Theme park, it's my favorite theme park here in Holland.
So, if you are going to visit Holland some day and you have some free time, please go to 'De Efteling'.
You can see all kinds of fairytales, there are nice rollercoasters and a lot other nice attractions. ^^

A impression of the Efteling:

Check out the website from 'De Efteling' for more information!

These few day I don't know much to write about on my blog, it's because of the winter.
I don't like the winter.. I hate cold weather, I hate it that it becomes dark early but I like
Sinterklaas and Christmas and New year.
In the end I need to say to myself: It's not that awful, when the winter is over, it's going to be spring
and that's my favorite season.
Only I haven't got much inspiration for my blog now...

Tomorrow it's Sinterklaas here in the Netherlands, are you going to do somethings special?
(a question for my Dutch followers)
I going to celebrate it with my granny and my mom. ^_^
I'm looking forward to it!

Because of Sinterklaas I made a photoshoot with Nono, my cute little panda:








The story behind this:
Nono saw some delicous sweets, and she wanted to eat them all!
So she eat all the Sinterklaas sweets, before that the chocolate mice& frogs warned their friends.
Unfortuantely for Nono they went to chase after her!

~~Wintery Fairy Tales~~ * Two meet-ups*

Hello lovely princesses! <3



I said before that I would attend to meet-ups this weekend and so I did. ^^
It was so much fun! :D  I was the best weekend I have had since months!
* Because most of the time I'm one day veeeeeeeeery lazy and the other day I'm going to do things, like meet-ups or visit my friends*


So...
First of all I'm going to tell you about the BJD meet-up, which was very close to my home, it was
held in Nijmegen so travelling wasn't really awful this time hahaha!
The BJD meet-up was held in the Think Pink shop. It was a sinterklaas meet-up..
Dutch people totally understand what you are going to do when you attend a sinterklaas BJD meet-up,
of course your dolls are going to pull off one shoes and put a wishlist or a drawing or something like that in it and then sinterklaas and his zwarte pieten come to bring presents.
But for non-dutch people it's a strange tradition, so let me explain it a little bit! ^^


Sinterklaas (or more formally Sint Nicolaas or Sint Nikolaas; Saint Nicolas in French; Sankt Nikolaus in German) is a traditional Winter holiday figure still celebrated today in the Low Countries, including the Netherlands and Belgium, as well as French Flanders (Lille), Artois (Arras) and Northern Germany. He is also well known in territories of the former Dutch Empire, including South Africa, Aruba, Suriname, Curaçao, Bonaire, and Indonesia. He is one of the sources of the holiday figure of Santa Claus in North America.
Although he is usually referred to as Sinterklaas, he is also known as De Goedheiligman (The Good Holy Man), Sint Nicolaas or simply as De Sint.
He is celebrated annually on Saint Nicholas' eve (5 December) or on the morning of 6 December in Belgium and Northern France. Originally, the feast celebrates the name day of Saint Nicholas — patron saint of children, sailors, and the city of Amsterdam, among others. Sint Nicholas being a bishop and this geographical spread make clear that the feast in this form has a Roman-Catholic background.

I hope you understand this tradition a little bit now! ^^


I want to show you some pictures from the shop:









Let me show you more pictures of that day:

Soom Migma, she is so pretty *_*












Fly away fashion high tea:

On sunday the fly away fashion* high tea was held in a small village called Houten, that's close to Utrecht for those who want to know that.
I went with my friend Ellis to this meet-up, unfortunately it was troublesome to go to Houten, normally it would take one and a half hour to arrive in Utrecht, this time one of the trains was broken and we couldn't go any further than Arnhem...
Luckily the problems with that train were solved very quickly so we could travel to Houten..
In the end it took us three hours to come there >.<

But it was totally worth it! It was so much fun to meet new people and to see some of the lolitas I already knew. And of course to see everyones outfits. ^^

Pictures from the fly away fashion shop:










First there was a high tea with sandwhiches, scones, cupcakes and more, and then we had some free time to make pictures, to talk to people and of course to shop in their lovely little shop.
After that the owners of the shop showed us their new winter collection, which was very beautiful and I bought this:
The cape
socks

I'm very happy with it! <3

There was also a lotery, you could win nice things,
I didn't win anything but it was very nice of them that they organized it. ^^





What was I wearing on sunday?


together with Lany ^_^
 

After the meet-up we went to a restaurant of dinner, it was a delicous wok restaurant.
Then it was about time to go home..
Ellis & I on the way back, in the great veolia train:

Ellis wore a nice outfit, unfortunately you can't see it..
I really liked the skirt she wore ^_^


Oh, before I forget it, Ellis is going to make a drawing for me.
She can draw very well! I'm really happy she is going to do that ^__^
It's going be a drawing with me on it in sweet lolita and gothic lolita,
because those styles are my favorite!
