eBay buys

I decided to put a few old T-shirts on eBay that I never wear anymore, and made a whopping £35, so I decided to treat myself to a few things and went a little kawaii mad. Here's what I got...
This adorable Neko strawberry pencil case. I'm going to use it to keep my makeup in instead of using it as a pencil case, it's the perfect size for taking travelling or when visiting my parents for the weekend.
I've had my eye on these cute little milk coin purses for a long time, I decided to get a set of three, including this fruit one, a chocolatey one and a green one with a little leaf. I probably won't use them to keep coins in, but I couldn't resist them anyway.

Ever since I've been little, seals have been my favourite animal, so when I first saw Mamegoma I naturally loved them! Now I'm finally able to have a little 'bean seal' of my own ^_^ And I don't think they come much cuter than this little pink lady with her cheerful yellow bow.


I can't decide what I'm going to do with this cupcake hook, but I have to wait until we move house in August until I can hang it up so I have plenty of time to decide. Do I use it in the hallway to keep keys on, or hang it in the kitchen for tea towels or oven gloves? I chose the cake in the middle, with the pink frosting and sprinkles. Maybe it would be more suited for the kitchen...



Lastly, I couldn't resist buying this little guy. I'm just a big old softy, and he looks very squishy and loveable. I can't wait for him to get here so I can give him a nice big welcoming hug :)

Lucky me :)


Another Boots freebie from the Christmas offer that I forgot to mention, from the Lucki panda range. Featuring a cute baby blue polka dot pattern, a little panda face zip charm and of course this very cheery looking, starry-eyed panda. A gift off my lovely boyfriend Si :)

Want!


While browsing eBay I found this amazing Pocky bag, but unfortuantely, due to being very low on funds at the moment, £15 seems a bit steep for what is essentially a non-essential item. However, I've come up with the cunning plan to sell some of my old clothes on eBay, and use the potential profit to buy the bag. That way I can have it pretty much guilt free and clear out some junk and free up some space at the same time :) And talking about Pocky, they used to have them in the vending machine at my uni library, but they stopped putting them in. Bring them back please!

Freecycle finds

A lovely lady called Celia answered my Freecycle plea for some crochet and crafting materials by kindly giving me some crochet instruction books and some lovely scraps of fabric. Only a few more days until dissertation hand-in and I'll hopefully be able to start some crafty projects to occupy my time. Now I just have to decide what to do with them, I wish I had my craft box from my parent's house, it's full of random fabrics and ribbons. Until then, I'll leave you with this...

Murray the murloc tadpole! Anyone who plays World of Warcraft will be familiar with the murlocs. I absolutely adore the baby murloc tadpoles, and this amigurumi cutie comes with his own broken I.W.I.N button. He's a geek like me's dream and he comes from lulahoop's Etsy store which can be found here http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=7097491 /want
