A longer period of time

When you really don´t feel like life is going anywhere, updating your blog isn´t something you think much about. So, I decided to save up some stuff over a bit of time, so that I would acctually have something to show you guys! ^^ 

Ok, so, nothing much has happend since my "awakening". As I might have mentioned back then, we had our autumn brake off school (thursday the 10th and friday the11th of October – through that following weekend) and because of my mental and physical condition back then I, together with my parents and therapist, decided it would be best for me to just stay home the whole following week as well. To get some rest basically (because I am completely burned out and everything is making me tired, especially over-thinking).
My therapist wrote a notice for my teacher about it.

I felt really... scared. Everything felt fresh and new, and it was just like I had got a totally new pair of eyes that had never seen the world before. It was like a cloud had lifted off my head, and after so many years I could see things clearly! 

After my visit at the hospital (where they were thinking of admitting me) I had about 10 days of nothingness ahead of me. It was quite motivating to think about, conserning how I felt about working on my disease. However, I was so exhausted from everyday life that I pretty much just slept away most of the week. I had initially planned to set up a schedule for myself and try to work on some things, but my anxiety just grew, and my depression got stronger, and I felt so incredibly tired all the time, for merly excisting, not neccesarily even doing anything, that I wound up spending most of my time sleeping. My positive thoughts dissapeared and I fell back into the disease again...

To make things worse, my mac died the second day of autumn brake, so I couldn´t do much homework either. I used an old computer and borrowed my moms´ sometimes, mostly to send messages to my teachers and ask them about stuff/updates. 

I felt really, really bad about not going to school >.<

Anyway, going back a bit again, to mention what happend at the time: during the first weekend after my mini-brake had started (around the 12th of october) me and my parents went into town
to look around some shops.

I wore a rather casual outfit, that felt a bit cold, but I was lucky enough to

borrow my mothers extremly snuggly sweater! 

I could live in this thing.

Sweater is from Ireland, pants from H&M, Shoes from Scotland, beret from paris,

Scarf from H&M, accessories are homemade, and from local shops, and BrokenDoll,
and lastly, tshirt from Taobao. 

We had a nice, calm day mainly browsing, and my mom ran some errands.

I tried looking around for some nice, warm sweaters for autumn and winter,
but I didn´t really find anything that cought my interest...

However, I did find a really lovely kind of scarf that I have wanted to get for ages.

It´s the kind that is like an enormous collar that you just twirl around your head several times.

A huge, knitted thingie with a lovely, deep, wine red colour. 

Have never owned one of those scarfs, so when my mom offered to buy it for me as a little "present of the day" I squeeled in joy and couldn´t stop smiling for about an hour later >////v/////>

After that day nothing much happend onwards, as I mentioned before...

I got a new meeting at the hospital where I was perhaps meant to be admitted (because they usually have two meetings like that before they decide anything), and this time my father joined me.
It was exactly a week after the first meeting.

I decided that even if I was going out for such a sad reason, I atleast wanted to look kinda decent, 

so I dressed myself in autumn colours (mustard yellow, dark green, wine red with golden details) 

and I tried to prepare my mind for what was ahead. 

To be quite honest, I was terrified and felt extremly uncomfortable about the whole situation.

I am just happy I was able to spend the whole day with my dad, atleast. 

It was kinda fun, once the meeting part was over :–) 

You see, to get to the town where the special hospital is, you got to travel by plane for about 30-40 min. And because our meeting was in the morning around noon, and our plane tickets to return home was around 9 pm, we had the whole days to ourself down town!

It is a lot bigger place than any of our local towns, so we had plenty to do. 

As we explored stores, both together and seperatly, I stumbled upon a full-lenght mirror, 

and thought I might just as well snap a picture of my look.

It is only with my coat on, but I kinda like how it looked anyway.

Here you see my incredibly huge, head-eating new scarf that my mom got me the weekend before!

And you can see my attractive hobo-gloves and my pants that are far too big ^^" eheh

Comfy outfit was comfy! I kinda like how I did my hair too :–) 

After getting home that day, I felt even more certain that I wouldn´t want to be admitted. Still they convinced me to accept getting an "offer about a trial–week" the following tuesday (the 22th of October, after my mini–brake was over and I had gone back to school), so I could get some more time to think about it.

Then, in the second weekend/the last days of my brake came, me and my mom decided to go out together on saturday, for a "girls day out". We both felt like we could need a little "cheer–up", so we went into our local town to do some shopping, and then visit one of the small cafés we have there. 

It was so lovely! Recently, it has suddenly becoming really wintery around here, since it has been snowing heavily for the last couple of weeks, so it felt nice folding my hands around a nice cup of cocoa. I also got a really big cookie that I can´t understand how they were able to make (it was the size my face or something O.o) (gosh I feel terrible talking about food, I´ll just stop now >.<) 

I guess what my point was building up to, was that I acctually decided to dress up that day also.

I felt this extreme pull towards fairy–kei, so I just went pastel, pastel, pastel

 I look kinda mad for some reason ^^" ehehe

... after adding some more details. I got most of these things from online shops, like my Milklim sweater, Kreepsville 666, HolleyTeaTime, Chocomint, Taobao and CuteCanKill accessories.
Other accessories include stuff that is homemade,
gifts and stuff I bought at conventions (6%DokiDoki bow etc.) and local shops.

The very last day of my brake (sunday 20th of october) I completely devoted to writing letters and drawing. I feel kinda proud I was acctually able to draw a proper drawing, after weeks and weeks of not even doodling. Truth is, I really, really, really DON´T have the energy to draw or be creative at all, so I was completely beat after drawing only this, even it only being A5 sized >.< 

I was so close to giving up on everything several times, 

just because I felt so tried and unconsentrated, but I forced myself to pull through.

I don´t know if this will be the only one I draw this year or not, and I know it´s a bit early, 

but anyway...

here is my halloween drawing!

(I am sorry the picture is kinda dark, it was taken late in the evening!)

I only used colouring pencils on this one, except for the fine-liner and the shiny,

 white spots that I did with my Sakura gelly-roll. I just adore halloween themes, 

and especially the colour combination of orange and purple!^^

  I hope you guys like my illustration, please feel free to comment about it below! <3

 

Moving on to even more recent events:

Even though this whole week has pretty much been one big work–load from morning until night, since I missed the week before, we did some stuff that was kinda fun at school. We have recently been given a self–portrait assignement, that we had pretty much no rules for. Me being sick for a week, made me miss most of the task, but I was still able to snap some pictures during the last hours of our school day on thursday ( 24th of october). I was trying to go for a "mermaidy–fairy-like" kind of look, mixed with my national roots and a bit of symbolism. Keep in mind that I had veeery limited amount of time, and very limited amount of self–esteem and energy... I had initially planned this whole cupcakey lolita extreme sugar kawaii glittery cute explotion of a picture, but my health and mental condition wouldn´t allow that just now... despite feeling like a failure,

I kinda like how they turned out anyway.

Keep in mind that I came up with this idea on a one–day notice!

Here is a few of the pictures we snapped:

(blogger kinda ruins the quality though)

Well, yeah >.<" I know they are kinda... weird, and I know the concept is really vague, but... uhm.. well ^^" ehehe... I hope you guys like them anyway :–p

I took the bus home after school that day, and since I was allready wearing makeup,

and because I just cut my fringe, I felt like taking a few selfies as well

I am kinda unsure what colour my hair is these days, I reeeally ought to dye it again soon >. >"""

It´s sorta blue–green–blonde–gray-ish uhm... I don´t even know XD haha

Yesterday (24th of October as you might remember) something else also happend. 

I had gotten an offer from the hospital where I was going to be admitted, about that trial–week, on Tuesday.... I sorta ignored it up until now, trying to not think to hard about it, but I realized despite how afraid it makes me, and how much I don´t want to do it

 I will go through with it after all...

 

It is mostly because of pressure though, because no-one wants me to just stay at home anymore, and ultimately it was such a mental pressure I just... 

I still feel really bad about the whole dicition >.< 

So, as a heads-up!

Next tuesday I will be admitted at the special hospital for a trial–week
at their ED–oriented program, to see how they work there and such... 

What that will result in, I have no idea as of yet... I am just extremly nervous and I have this urging grudge growing in me about it all, so I´d rather not even think about it right now >.< 

Thank you for reading this far!

I hope I will be able to update soon again :–)

Matta-ne!

+ Art farts +

 

I am sorry for not updating for a while School has been busy, busy, busy and I´ve been kind of unmotivated... This week I´ve finished my ending-report on a half–year project I´ve been doing.... so basically 22 pages of writing ... but now it is finally finished. I just need to edit it a bit...

Anyway! I have been quite creative lately (or, yeah... I´ve been doodling xD haha)
So I wanted to show you guys some of my newer things!

A while ago, I spendt some hours watching the newest Adventure Time episodes in the middle of the night, and this was basically the result xD

 

Yeah... Jake is a goof-ball =V=

I became penpals with Saga a while ago, 

so for my first letter for her, I drew her this little thing

I have been super inspired to indulge myself in sweetness ever since I met Peachie, so I created my first ever non-human(oid) OC  I present to you all : 

Fuwa fuwa sweet dream moon bunny! 

 He is a sweet little bunny that lives in a cresent moon shaped house, and he loves staying 

out late and watching the stars in his telescope! That is why he is always kinda sleepy, and 

has sleepy eyes thihihi.... He is inspired by Peachie, as I mentioned, because he is moon–themed and  because he´s a bunny! And I know Peachie loves both of those things hihi

Moving on, I acctually created yet another OC. This time it was a girl that I´ve named Dorothy

 (her nickname is Dotty/Dottie or sometime just Dott). 

She is a sweet and shy little mori girl, with a love for knitted things, 

crazy stripe–patterns and "earthly" colour–tones.

After creating her, I was so obsessed with drawing her that I had to create a proper coloured piece.
I imagine her being quite frilly and cute, and a real dreamer. She is also really into details

I have been soooo into playing the LINEplay app lately, 

that I think I´ve become addicted haha.
So I decided I wanted to draw my characters design! 

I forgot to bring my outline marker with me, so I tried to make–do

 with only colouring pencils this time

I especially like how her hair and sweater turned out!

... And after watching magical princess Barbie movies (don´t judge me, they are cute ok )

I wanted to draw a super shoujo, pastelly princess that cried magical, rainbow soap bubbles

I am very pleased with her arm, and the sky! 

Finally I want to add a little piece I did today, in only a little less than two hours.

(It might look like it has been cut off, but it is acctually just that size). 

I have a weird fascination about drawing eyes that are in the angle of the eye to the far left. Like, bulging outwards, seen a bit from the side/down. So yeah I´m a freak....

To end this post, I also wanted to add that it was our national day yesterday,
and because of that I wore my national suit/dress! It is called a Bunad

There are several different designs throughout the whole country,
but I have the green version for my district (we also have a blue version of this design).

 I feel really nationalistic while wearing this haha

My grandmother have done the embroidery and my other grandmother has sewn it together ^^

In my opinion, the green colourway is the prettiest, but it also really depends on who´s wearing it. 

I am extremly happy that we didn´t get drawn out to have any exams this year, which means 

I might have the time to update my blog more. I thought I´d make a little list for you guys, so you know what you´ve got to look forward too! There is no particular order.
