Moving things in my room

Hi Sprinkles!

I'm finally sitting at a desk while writting!!!! My previous setup was a little folding table and a folding chair. It was supposed to be temporary, but it ended up being my setup for like...6 or 7 years? Sometime sitting on my bed too. Ok, most of the time XD

I'm not good with actually doing stuff. I'm a procrastinator and even if I work hard on it, it's still difficult. I decided in Febuary to finally look at how to place stuff in my room to get a desk. Stuff got moved around yesterday and the desk was built today. But at least now it's done. I still have a lot of things to put away, including cosplay that were just lying on the floor because no space XD

This was right before moving stuff around. You can see what was my desk and my chair.

This was after being done moving and putting my clothes back in the new drawers (they were in my parent's room, they changed them like 5 month ago).

And the new furnitures! A desk, not too big but it's ok, because I have a portable computer and not much space, and a bedside table.

 I still have to install new curtains, because I realised this morning that this side of the room was already too bright to sleep. At 6:30am. I was not happy XD

:30

Also, I wanted to show my setup for recording songs!

And that's it for today! I want to grab a snack before leaving for Quebec. We have one last group rehearsal before Otakuthon. Will we get to see any Sprinkle there? Let us know!

Blueberry in garden

Hi Sprinkles!

Blogging is harder than I thought. I really like it, but I still have no idea what I should talk about and I keep forgetting to try to write anyway and I'm sorry I've been neglecting it.

I have been kind of busy with a lot of stuff lately, between finishing school, practicing the new song, learning older songs for performances, planning a trip to France, reinstalling Zoo Tycoon, thinking about cleaning my room, oh, and also planning my cosplays for Otakuthon! But I'll talk cosplay an other time, in a full blog, with pictures. And probably talk about the convention once it's over.

For today, I have two cute pictures that Fani took when she came over a few weeks ago. My mom loves gardening and we have a lot of flowers this time of the year. I love looking at them, especially new ones. I don't really take the time to look closely everyday, so sometime, I get the surprise of seing a new flower. That time, I got kind of excited and Fani decided to play paparazzi.

That's it for today!

Spoiled Blueberry

Hi Sprinkles!

Sorry for not writting much in the last few days! I swear I really love doing blogs, I've just been busy these last few days with the end of my intership and then graduation. It's done, it's over, I'm free! Not like I was that busy with homework and stuff since we didn't get any all year XD That's the fun part about working with flowers and plants, you can't bring schoolwork at home to finish it.

So, Wednesday was my last day at this little flower shop. I had so much fun and I was sad they didn't have any hours to give me. But I'm on the top of the list for replacments if someone is sick or on holiday. They loved me as much as I loved working there and I got a nice little gift!

The plant is a Polka Dot, in a really cute pot. I also got bath salts and soaps and a thank you card.

Yesterday (Thrusday) was graduation at school. It was not a big ceremony, since it was only our class. It was so hot in the classrooms! The school only has climatisation in the cafeteria and it was the last day of the heat wave so it was still crazy hot. But we survived, got our fake diplomas (the real ones we'll get in the mail somewhere in the next 6 month XD) and then we talked about our interships. We finished by lunch time and we all had a little party at one of the girls place, it was nice.

One of my classmate had cakes made with our group number. We ate that in class while talking. We had vanilla and chocolate and they were delicious.

An other classmate made little notebooks for everyone with our names and a real flower (it's a type of ranunculus).

One of the teachers, the one who taught all the plants related classes is retiring soon, so she's slowly reducing the number of plants accumulated at school to make it easier on the next teacher (we had over a hundred). I chose this one, it's a pilea

 So yeah, I got spoiled with presents the last 2 days. I'll eventually do a little photoshoot of my plants to present them to you all, I still have 2 more. But for now, I have to get ready, Fani is comming over soon. We're leaving tomorrow morning to go to Quebec City and meet with Millie all day. We also have practice with everyone else Sunday, so I probably won't be able to blog before Monday.

Hot Blueberry

Hi Sprinkles!

Sorry for not writting anything these last 2 days, I was tired and needed to relax. I really love talking here, but maybe not everyday. I'm still an introvert after al.

It's SO hot outside today! It's between 34 and 35 (we have two thermometer and they never agree XD), with 55% humidity. Yesterday was around 32 and it's not going below 30 until thursday (except at night, of course). It may sound normal to some people, but for Quebec, this is a heat wave. And a big one. A lot of activities for Canada Day (yeah, it's Canada's birthday today. Last Sunday was Quebec's birthday, la Fête des Patriotes) had to be cancelled.

I'm doing fine, since I have air conditioning, but I'm still hot because I've been dancing for the last hour (with breaks, don't worry ^^). I'm practicing the new group song + an other song. Are you curious to know what song we'll do next? I'll give you a hint..... It's an idol song! What? Of course I wasn't going to give a real hint, it's still a surprise!

 I want to add a picture, but I have nothing... I am not going to take a selfie right now, it would be way to embarassing... Oh! I know!

I took this picture somewhere in Nagano, back in 2013 when I took a trip to Japan. I don't remember the name of the park, but it was a really hot day, like today. Except they are normal in Japan and I spent a lot of time outside. I actually almost got a heatstroke while there. Luckly, I realized I wasn't feeling well soon enough to avoid it. It was still a really fun trip and I hope I'll be able to go back one day.

That's it for today, I don't really have anything to say.

Wedding flowers

Hi Sprinkles!

No, not my wedding, I'm not married. But here is the end of me talking about what I made in class, and I decided to keep everything wedding related for the end, since I think it's the most impressive/difficult/pretty. So please enjoy!

Little bracelet I made. I ended up wearing it for the full day. It's solid.

This was supposed to be a bracelet, but it ended up too big so it's more like a small crown for a flower girl. Feat my thermos.

Little corsages

Another corsage, but made with a different technique

Wedding bouquet in the cascade style

Same bouquet from the side

Round wedding bouquet. It's not easy at all to get it really round, it takes a lot of preparation and time and moving things around until it's perfect

Another round one, but purple!! It's also a fit with the first pictures of corsages

That way you can see the handle.

Fiou, finally done! Don't worry, it's not the last time I'll post pictures of my creations here. But considering I only have my intership left and I get my diploma next week, I won't have a lot more pictures taken at school. Let me know if you enjoyed that!

More flowers!

Hi sprinkles!

I'm back again with more pictures of stuff I did at school. Let's see if I can fit everything in one blog without making it too long. Pretty sure I'll end up doing one more, but anyway.

After learning the basics, we learned to make everything bigger and had less and less directives.

It was kind of funny to do the sympathy spray, because I was sitting on the floor half the time to get underneath it.

There is no one inside the urn, the picture is a stock one. But we kept joking that is was an imaginary girl in the class, "Sylvie", because at the start of the year, the teachers were calling one of the girls that name by mistake and it stuck as a joke. Like everything something went wrong, it was Sylvie's fault.

This was by far the biggest project, and the heaviest also. It's to go on top of a coffin.

We learned how to integrate stuff in bouquets, like butterflies

Or even Christmas decoration!

We also learned how to put them in arrangments. I gave this one to my grandparents.

When we had extra time and flowers, we would make what we call "sushi". Aren't these cute?

We also learned how to make a display with plants and flowers (the flowers are fake, but not the plants)

Yeah, it's getting a bit long I think... I just get so excited showing everything and talking about my formation. I'll have to wait for the next blog to show all the pictures of wedding bouquets, because I don't want them to get lost in everything else.

So, one more blog about flowers and then... I'm not sure actually. Do you have anything you would like me to talk about? Other passions, hobbies, my day to day life, etc. Let me know in the comments!

Flowers and water

Hi there!

Did you know I'm a florist? Ok, not yet, I'll only have my diploma next week, but close enough. I thought I could show you a few pictures and talk about my formation a little, but first, an anecdote from today.

So, I'm currently working (well, not exactly, it's an unpaid intership) at this little shop and today, our water tank broke. It took a little while to realise that the sound of water was comming from us and not an other shop. It was comming out so fast, like an opened faucet! Luckily, we have an drain and the floors are concrete or ceramic, so no damage. Well, except for the tank that we have to change. We had to close earlier because of that.

Onto the flowers now! It may sound silly for a few of you to get a diploma to be a florist, but the formation is very important. It was 9 month, full time, and we learned a lot of things! Being a florist is not just being able to do bouquets. You have to learn the name of a lot of flowers and greens and also plants, how to take care of everything. You also need to learn how to make arrangments, for funerals and wedding (wedding bouquets also! And those need to be perfect).

One of the basics is being able to do a dozen roses. It's not easy at first, but you learn how to make a bouquet with the correct technique

We also learn to make simple shapes. Here is a round, perfect to put in the center of a table.

This one is a big triangle. It is good to learn how to place flowers in bigger arrangments.

We also learn to make more modern looking things.

This one is one of my favorites, and not only because of the purple. I enjoyed making it, with the wave of the moluccella (the green flower)

This was a bit tricky to make, but it was also really fun.

So many things to show! I don't wanna make it too long, so I'll continue in an other blog. This was all made during the first half of the formation, so I think it's a good point to stop. I hope you enjoyed today's blog, because I think I'm having fun writting those. Not sure I'll write one every day, but I might try.

Awkward Blueberry

Hum, hi, it's Nemi!

I have no idea what I'm doing, it's my first time writting anything close to a blog. I'm not good at social XD

The girls told me I could write anything I want, that it would help you guys know me better. It'll probably be awkward or boring, but I'll try my best to share a few things about me once in a while.

I won't really talk about today, since I didn't do anything yet (it's only 2pm, I still have time, right?). Yesterday was a busy day. I started by waking up way too early, as usual, and took my time to wake up and eat. Then I cleaned my room until it was time for a skype call with the other girls in the group. I still have things to put away correctly, I'm planning a big change in my room. I'm gonna get an actual desk!

After that, I went and saw The Incredibles 2 with my mom and my aunt. I won't spoil anyone, but it was AWESOME! It was definitly worth the 14 years wait. When we got back home, dad's friends were already there and we had a nice supper and I went to bed before anyone left because I was too tired.

Not really sure what I'll do today. Before falling asleep yesterday, I had a lot of big plans, but as usual, I'm pretty sure I won't do anything. Anyone else is like that? Way more motivated when it's time to sleep?

I don't really have anything else to say today, and sorry, no pictures. I did find a few old embarassing things yesterday, but I'm not ready to share that XD
Let me know if I did kind of good for a first ever blog!
