I finally watched The Wind Rises

Was anyone else reminded of this character from The Incredibles when watching The Wind Rises?


 

I kept thinking Kurokawa's voice in the English version should have been done by Gilbert Godfried instead of Martin Short.


From the beginning of the film, I was immediately thinking about costumes. I like Jiro's train outfit better than the suit throughout the film, but that may be because of the barbershop quartet type hat.

 
 

It's not very likely i'll ever put this together, but here is an idea for a couples costume


This may be the most visually stunning anime i've seen yet. The fire and the wind looks computer animated, and i was amazed by how fluid the movements of the characters were. Even so, it is not my favorite Ghibli film.

DIY costume - Tinkerbell

Just the thought of dressing up as Tinkerbell makes you feel delicate and petite! Most of the accessories this time are from Amazon, with dresses from Shein.

How to turn an in wall ironing board into shelving

My bedroom has had an in wall ironing board since I got this house. I hated it. It is directly behind the bedroom door so if you take the board out, noone can get in or out of the room.  My husband irons his work shirts in the morning, but never used that board. We have a full sized ironing board by the laundry room. If he used the wall board I would have burn marks from running into a hot iron while trying to do my makeup. It's frustrated me that it was just wasted space. It's right next to our dresser and a convenient place to store makeup and hair products. I asked my hubby for shelving to clear up space on the dresser.  To remove the board, he removed the screws from the bar then pulled the bar out of the wall. He used wood filler to patch the holes from the bar.  In retrospect he wishes he'd just sawed the bar off instead. He painted the inside and cut shelves to fit.  For the background we used scrapbook paper. I was not willi...

DIY Halloween Costumes- Isabela from Encanto

I found a ton of cute lavender dresses a’la Isabela from Encanto. I started with tulle to give the princess feel, and also included more comfortable options. You can get away with just the flower behind your ear, but I think the added ones throughout the hair are more Isabela. I added two options, but Shein does have many options for hair flowers.  Oh and use my  code  at Shein for 10% off your order! The first 3 dresses are Shein sizes  2-12.  This first dress definitely will make you feel like a princess! These shoes are the most accurate to the cosplay as well. Tulle Dress   Mary Jane Ballet Flats     Large Flower hair clips   Small Flower hair clips Dress option 2 is more casual and looks so comfy. You could wear this more often after displaying. As it’s more casual, I also added more casual flats.    Off Shoulder Ruffle Dress   Lavender Flats   2nd Option mini flower hair clips   Large Flower hair clips Hallowee...
