Etsy Update #2

I've been working on a lot of new charms for m Etsy and I'm really excited about these charms! They seem to be pretty popular too, when I put pictures of these on Instagram everyone gives them such a great response :)

So here is what I've been working on recently:

                         

I have two weeks of University for Easter now so I'm hoping I'm going to go crafting mad and that includes listing new items on my Etsy shop! I'm also hoping to start doing resin again over the break woohoo!

Week #11 ● Before and After

I'm really sorry this post is late but as you can see from these pages and the Week 12 pages I'm going to upload after this, I've been ridiculously busy and I will be busy until Uni finishes for Easter. 

I've been really loving this these blue/mint colours recently and I love the way these pages came out, lots of lovely stickers and molang post it notes :)

So here is before I used the pages:

And here is what they look like once I've used them:

Let me know what you think of my Week 11 pages it's sad that the blues contrast so badly with my Raspberry Metropol, it's making me even more tempted to treat myself to the new Willow personal Filofax that was released with the spring collection UH-OH ;) The wonderful Amanda has just done a fantastic review of it ( which clearly didn't help me ) you can read it HERE. 

 If you want to know where I got any of the supplies let me know in the comments :)

Cupcake Charm Update ● Jan & Feb 2014

I really want to make these cupcake updates a monthly thing as I am trying to do the 1,000 cupcake challenge where you have to make 1,000 cupcake charms in 2014.

 I'm not actually doing as bad as I thought but most of the cupcakes I make are for orders in my shop which means I won't actually be able to hold 1,000 cupcakes in my hands at the end of the year & it's going to be hella hard to count them ha!

I thought this would be a fun easy way to keep track and to share them all with you guys in more detail :)

Here are the cupcakes that I've been making in January and February:

 (Sorry the lighting is so bad the weather was horrific so my natural lighting disappeared T _ T )

These ones below are my favourites out of the bunch! ^ _ ^

Like I said I've been doing a lot of custom orders so here are the cupcakes I made for those:

I just love the icing on the blue one at the front ! 

So I hope you enjoyed seeing all the cupcakes I've made so far this year, there are some missing... ones that I don't particularly like ha! Leave me a comment requesting a cupcake you'd like to see me make, I'd love some new ideas!

CUPCAKE COUNT: 21

My New Addiction ● Filofax

Yep it's official I'm addicted to Filfoax. I would say Filofax's but sadly I only own one at the moment, comes with being a poor lowly student ha!

I know a lot of my viewers on YouTube are from the ages of 10-15 and diaries/planners are probably something you barely use and if you do it's only to keep track of boring school homework but if you do ever find yourself needing one I want you to push all your crafting urges into it because I cannot stop decorating mine!

I just love all the pens and tapes and stickers and inserts and .... ahhh! I just love it, doesn't help I already had an existing addiction to stationary before hand but oh well!

Here are a few examples of what I have done with my next two weeks (I've blurred out some things for security reasons). You can see my 'wonderful' assignments have already been sketched in for next week T _ T

So those are some blank sheets, I wanted to next show you what happens when I get my hands on them. This is from last week and as you can see it's a mess. Most people probably wouldn't be able to live with a planner like this however this is my kind of organised mess!

So this is my first filofax post and I'd love to hear your feedback on whether you want more! The filofax community here on the web is just amazing and I'd really love to be a part of it :)

Thanks for reading, please leave a comment letting me know what you think of my planner!

Etsy Re-Open

So I just re-opened my Etsy shop (KawaiiStudios) and I'm really excited about this. I've been working really hard to improve my Shop and my YouTube. Of course I decide to do this just as University is getting really busy but it always happens, I procrastinate from school work by opening my shop up and giving me more work ha!

I absolutely adore having a shop I love all the business cards, notes, bubble wrap etc. it's like a stationary freaks heaven ha!

Been trying to mass produce these little cuties, what do you guys think? :)

The Start of Something New....

So welcome to my new blog...

Welcome to the new blog everyone, I've been doing really well with uploading content on YouTube recently so I thought I would congratulate myself by making my life harder and starting a new project in the new year! In case you have just stumbled across this blog and have no idea who I am I thought I would introduce myself. 

Hi my name is Ruth and I am currently 18 years old (you could have guessed my age by the high school musical reference in the title ha!). I live in England and I am studying a media communications degree at university. Here is a picture of me so you can put a face to a name:

I have a YouTube channel called xoxRufus, I am a craft YouTuber and  I work mostly with polymer clay. I upload tutorials, craft updates, reviews, TAGs everything really. I make tiny charms, usually food which I then add an adorable little face to (sounds weird I know but hear me out). Here are some photos of some of the things that I make:

So on this blog I will just be carrying on the crafts and work I do on YouTube. I will be posting all sorts of things on here not just craft so it's a nice way to do something different that wouldn't normally fit on my channel. I'm going to be doing personal posts, fashion, beauty, crafts, picture tutorials, you name it I want to do it!

I really hope you guys are as excited about this new project as I am and that you keep visiting my blog. I'd love to see your comments and feedback on my posts.

p.s Sorry about the layout by the way I'm just starting up, it will get better I promise.

Thanks

Ruth
