I like to be tidy and organized, which (unfortunately) doesn't show too much - but sometimes I do something to keep our things more tidy. Like this toilet paper holder. Too long have we had toilet paper rolls lying wherever there was room. But no more! With a toilet paper holder that decorates, everything will be keps tidy (concerning TP that is). Hopefully I'll get some other ideas as to how to organize and tidy up all my other stuff. Well - here's a start. ;P

Who ever said that neck ties had to be boring and only for men. ;) Here's a fancy neck tie, you can use with your best shirt.

And I played around with the front picture, isn't it pretty. :D
The gap between the glove and the jacket is a constant nuisance when it is winter. Whether you're playing in the snow or just walking around, your wrists are never truly covered, thanks to this gap. Sure, there are some jacket with a fabric safeguard and some gloves with the glove-equivalent, but it is just never those gloves or that jacket that you are wearing when it is winter.

A Faux Fireplace can give your home some extra warmth (metaphorically speaking), and really decorate the place. AND, if you haven't got a real fireplace, where will you hang your Christmas stocking? So it's the ideal thing to make for Christmas. And here's a version we've made with a little fiery twist. ;P

Now, if you want your very own pair, read on and soon (very soon indeed) you'll be able to sew these niceties in abundance :)
An apron is a must have for every baker or cook in every home. But not all aprons are as pretty or nice as we want them to be, and 'designer-aprons' can be expensive. So why not make your own apron. then you'll be able to make a complete mess of the kitchen without messing up your fine clothes. ;P
I might actually think that a mouse pad is becoming a thing of the past. But I'm using one (because my mouse is crappy), and therefore, I will have a decorated mouse pad. For my own eye pleasure. I think it's a good idea. ;P

A coin purse with multiple purposes. It's only called a coin purse here, because I (Parnuuna) was in dire need of a wallet and had to sew one. It is a simple purse with a zipper, and it can be made in many different sizes and shapes. This ones a 10 cm x 8 cm with a bit of extra space at the bottom for the very many coins I possess! *coughs* ;P It's perfect for a quick gift, pehaps with some embroidery on to make it personal - or for your own jewelleries you can't fit anywhere else. In any case, it's easy to make and has TONS of uses!
The spider (alongside the famous bat) is known to be a favourite motif for the goths. Spiders on our clothes, fake cobwebs on our chandeliers (tacky - yes we know), spiders on our boots, spider/cobweb makeup and in our hair. We also like the spiders to be cuddly and not so horribly scary, hairy and poisonous. So we present to you, your very own stuffed spider with really long legs (just like the real ones). Don't worry, it doesn't bite unless you want it to :)
The studded ring. Our batling dreams come true. Oh - to own one of these exquisite goth accessories would be the true ecstacy of life (and goth). Okay, we may not be batlings anymore, however, we still enjoy the little things in life - like this childhood dream of studded-leather-ringness.
We can't seem to get around the steampunk genre, without being just a little bit intrigued with it. So here's an intermediate 'gothic steampunk choker' tutorial for you to enjoy.
We all need storage for all our gothic accessories (which we can't get enough of, am I right ;P), so here's an easy and decorative way to store all that jewellery and make-up.
I went to a 'glitter'-store once, and looked at their hair pieces, and it was preposterous how much they took for a fabricated hair piece, you know those that are made in 3 minutes in a factory! I think it was about $36, with some ornamentation on it, very similar to the stuff you're about to learn here. So I bought the hair comb without stuff on it, and made a cheaper (and prettier) hair piece myself! :)
Oh - This was sort of an experiment, but I took pictures of the process, and I really liked the outcome. :) Isn't he cute?
Bjarke thought it looked like a 'meebling', so that's what it's called now. It's rather easy and quick to make, so if you need a quick present, here's a winner.
I love to decorate my hair, and when you just have a bad hair day, or you got out of bed too late, it's super easy just to put on this lolita headdress. I've made a lot of them in different colors, so there's different ones to choose from, depending on your mood. And I've actually made some to sell too. If you're confident enough, you can do the same.
I just love the victorian age, their clothing and style, so I might do more of that kind of stuff. Here's a mini hat to clip-on to your hair. It's really cute.
The worlds easiest choker. It takes a couple of minutes to make, and you're ready to go out with a new piece of jewellery.
