Batman Live - London

Hi everyone!

A few days ago we went to see Batman Live in the O2 Arena here in London. I had only seen the odd clip here and there and never really understood what it was exactly. It turned out to be really Batman Live as in Batman in the theatre with some circus acts mixed in. No songs (so the bf was happy LOL) and with amazing props and effects. Of course I had to share this with you as it was really cool! Definitely a family show but good fun and something different for a change :) I tried to take some pics and some of them actually came out quite well (or so I think). If you want to go and see this, this post will contain spoilers because I managed to get a few wow-moments eternalised on film :) Ready for the show? Curtains up!

Welcome to Gotham City where the crime rate is probably the highest in the world

A visit to the circus to see lots of trapeze acts and meet Dick Grayson, soon to become a member of the Dynamic Duo as Robin the Boy Wonder.

You all know the story of what happens in the circus I assume, so enter the Joker. A marvellous entry I must admit!

It just got better and better! This giant Joker head appeared which was amazing on its own, but look closely... See that all the teeth, the eyes, and some of the hair are people?

Into the Bat-cave where Robin is told all about Batman (check out the Bat-symbol, so cool!)

Including the Bat-mobile! It came zooming onto the stage and the crowds went wild...

As did Dick Grayson (here shown in the background)

Details shown on the super computer at the same time as the car is shown and explained

Onwards to Arkum Asylum. This scene was well creepy! Not entirely sure if these are real or not but as there was a technical difficulty in this scene I would hope not...

And who resides within Arkum Asylum together with Gotham City's most infamous criminals? The Scarecrow! By far the coolest villain in this play and sadly only seen near the end of the show but his costume is amazing! Batman is surely scared of him!

Everyone gets together for the final blowout of Batman. As you can see they have really stuck every known villain into this play! Harley Quinn, the Joker, the Penguin, the Riddler, Two-Face, Poison Ivy, and Catwoman. The clowns in the background are the Joker's entourage.

Naturally Batman wins (bang, pow!) and the Joker makes his getaway in this ueber-cool hot air balloon. So wicked!

This show was amazing! The first half had all the explanations which had its boring moments but the second half was great! I really enjoyed this show and can highly recommend it :) Hope you enjoyed this also! I have certainly done my geeky bit for this week ;)

Scissor Sock Tutorial

Image
Hi all! I've had so many request from friends for these scissor socks that I wanted to share the tutorial with you. I've been sick for a while so this tutorial is well over due. This will be my first sewing tutorial so I hope it's clear enough :) Feel free to make you own or for friends or family, but please don't use it for commercial purposes or make them to sell. It is after all not my pattern. So let's get started :) You need: 2 pieces of fabric with different print Interfacing (with ironing option on one side only) Cord Ribbon 1 button  Beads Cutting mat and ruler Rotary cutter and scissors Some sort of circular template (I use a small plate) Needle and thread Cut the fabric and the interfacing to a rectangle of 9x12.5 inches (23x32 cm). Decide which fabric you want where, this will influence the next step. Use your circular template to round one corner. The fabric you want on the top and bottom of your sock will have t...

Easter Prep Stage 3 - Happy Easter!

Image
Happy Easter everyone! I hope you're having a great day and no matter where you are you've had your fair share of Easter eggs whether real or chocolate. :) I was a bit late as usual so had a few last minute projects to complete last night... Lots of cool Easter projects though, let me show you:  I started this at last week's Craft Meet. Everyone around me was knitting and I felt a bit like a 5-year old with my paint chips cutting out eggs, but there was a need for it. I found a great idea on Pinterest and just had to try it. So I rushed to the DIY store and got a pile of paint chips... Taadaa, the Easter bunting! Isn't it the coolest! The original idea was found here (please link to the ORIGINAL POST when adding this to Pinterest if you want to pin this) , and I just love it! The paint chips I used were a little different from what the original post shows, and I thought it would be nice to have some diagonal eggs as well. THAT was not such a good id...

Fabulising February - Men's Shirt Dress

Image
Hi everyone! Fabulising February is nearly over and this is the last project I have managed to complete.Tomorrow I'll post a short recap showing all the finished projects. Wanting to go out with a bang, I tackled a men's shirt that the bf bought online many years ago and forgot to return it so I wanted to make something nice out of it. Seems a waste to be throwing away a brand new shirt! Granted, it was white and while probably cotton it was very thick and stiff material. So I dyed it purple. Of course. Once it was purple, I then had to try and do something with it. Easier said than done! I finally found a cute idea for a dress in blogland (didn't save the link though) and I really wanted to try that. But the instructions were super tricky so in the mending pile it went. This is the shirt. Much too large even for the bf but purple at least ;) And a bit wrinkled for being in the bag for a very long time. But with only a little time left in my Fabulising February ...
