My Weekend {H-Mart and Crafting}~

Helloo~
There have been crazy amounts of snow here in the northeast
So my weekend is now 4 days long :3 The snow is raging outside right now, and so school was canceled for today and tomorrow. Yay!
I thought I'd just do a mini update~
This weekend was pretty uneventful in all honesty x3 I finished Pokemon X, the second season of Psycho-Pass, and Kobo Abe's novel The Woman in the Dunes(which I highly recommend).
I also went to H-Mart yesterday and got a bunch of yummy stuff :3 I thought I'd share some of the more interesting things that I got with you guys c:
Citron tea
I love this stuff. So much. And the jar is so pretty! Once I'm done with it maybe I'll keep pens in it or something c:
Instant Milk Tea
I saw this and I thought it was really cool! It's teabags with powdered milk and sugar in them, so you can instantly have milk tea ^_^ This is the Earl Grey variety- they had 2 other sorts as well~ I know that they also make rose milk tea, which I really want to try. It's insanely sweet though >_>

Meltyblend Fruity Strawberry Chocolates
Omigosh these are delicious *u* They're tiny and there are only fifteen but that's okay x3

Peach yogurt gum!
I think it's so cool how it closes with a magnetic strip :3
Green Tea Korean Pancakes
These are super tasty :3 I got them to eat for breakfast~ On the inside there's a cinnamon filling that's really yummy. It does get very hot though... several times I've burned my tongue ;n;
Seaweed snacks! Very crispy and yummy :3
Pokemon soup! My sister and I love these :3
Red bean soup with mochi
It's sweet! And very good food for this kind of cold miserable weather
Syn-ake Sheet mask (I dunno why they couldn't just spell it 'snake')
My Beauty Diary's Collagen Firming Sheet Masks
I absolutely love these masks. They always make my skin so nice and soft ^.^ I first tried one last year when I went to New York, and I was finally able to obtain some more :3

Anyways, that's all I got from H-Mart, so moving on~
This weekend I've been crafting quite a bit. A few days ago a lolita sewing book that I ordered from Ebay arrived in the mail! I'm super happy about it :3 I haven't yet gotten around to making any substantial items (both because I don't have enough fabric and because I'm worried about the instructions being completely in Japanese), but I plan on doing that soon ^_^ Maybe during my next school break?
Anyways, here's the book :3
The girls on the cover look so pretty ^_^
There are several volumes of this book, but I liked the patterns in this one the most so I got it c: Almost everything is in Japanese, which will make the projects more challenging, but at least there are diagrams ^_^ There are also patterns c:
I like the JSK on the right!
I feel like I'd never be able to pull this off, but it's super cute x3
So yeah, I made lots of accessories this weekend x3 From the book I made a bow and a 2-way clip~
Lacy Cherry Blossom Hair Clip
Felted Checker Cookie Clip~
The cookie clip was super fun to make c: I hadn't done needle felting in quite some time so it was nice to be able to do it again ^_^ I can use it as both a hairclip and as a brooch~
I also made some ribbon-tie bows. I dunno when I'll use them, but they're fuzzy!
So soft ;u;
So yep, that just about concludes what I've been doing x3 Clearly I'm quite lazy. But at least now I have food! ^_^
Anyways thanks for reading! Sorry that this post had some many pictures >_>
Ciao loves!

What do you like to do when you're stuck in the house all day long?
