Ever felt like every day doesn't feel quite real?
That's what I'm feeling at this very moment... physically away from the place I call home at heart, new friends just a few doors down but relishing the freedom I get alone. And it's peaceful, quiet and relaxing. Sky is grey but the sun's still shining. Memories just don't lead up to this day...
Waking every morning from a dream I can't remember, except for the few that linger the last few seconds, a reminder of what I'm still afraid of deep down. Coming back to reality,before I swing my feet off the bed, I count my blessings and tell myself how grateful I am for the little things in the every day, and the people I've met along the way. The acquaintances. The close friends. Even those who I used to love but have only left me with a taste of lessons to come...
With these thoughts, I am inspired to make use of my creative outlets to dress up a little poetic license and indulge in my passion for writing. Alas my craft tools and materials are still far from reach but I shall be looking forward to the day I can get my hands on them and create more beautiful pieces for others to cherish...
I believe in the "I saw this and thought of you" moments that make each item so very dear and so unique to all of us, don't you agree? Its price in money doesn't factor into its value, and that is the inspiration I take with all the pieces I create...
As of writing, I am awaiting the arrival of beautiful, exotic laces to dress up my very bare headdresses. In one more month I hope to be able to finish off my designs and show you all a snippet of what's to come. Fingers crossed my application for SMASH 2012 is successful >_<
Until next time, keep your thoughts happy and pure!!

Comeback!!
Hello to all my lovely deadly night shades,
I haven't been updating this blog in ages due to my travels for work, so my sincerest apologies for that...
To update, many things have happend to me, mostly regarding work so I've been pretty flat out and interstate for most of the year. However, you will be glad to hear that I've managed to fit in some time over the Christmas break to design a range of new headdresses, sourced from both locally and internationally bought matierals <3 I will be back at SMASH 2012 again, sharing a stall with my good friend from Romance Noir, as well as a newcomer designer friend who makes cute paper craft. I do hope you can come visit our stall and support us on the day!!
Now that I've revived this blog, I'll do my best to update it regularly. Who knows, maybe it WILL end up as my personal blog after all!
Until next time,

SMASH! 2011 was a success!
Hello Darlings!
Just a short one from me... Been meaning to write more but my day job has been so incredibly busy, coupled with the fact that I recently sustained some minor injuries and sickness over the last week... =(
Haven't had much chance to sew as much as I liked, but I hope to find some time in the next couple of weekends. All my black headdresses sold out at SMASH! on Sat 16th July, and all of my pinks except one. Have to say am a little disappointed no one bought any of my blue ones, but I'm sure some pretty Alices will find them handy one day =)
On the day, I shared the stall with my friend who makes her own clothing label: Romance Noir. Do look her up the next time you browse the net for some Gothic inspiration! =)
I will upload some more photos later this week when I get the time, so do look forward to it!
Yours faithfully,
Frejya

Welcome to my first post!
Hello darlings and welcome to my blog site,
Chances are you will have come across this blog as a result visiting my stall "Frejya" at the SMASH convention, 2011, held at the Sydney Convention Centre.
First, thank you all for taking the time to have a browse on my website, I hope it is to your liking (and if you bought a headdress from me, I hope you will treasure it)
A bit about me:
Designing and making gothic lolita headdresses is a recent hobby for me, having been inspired by a good friend of mine who makes beautiful gothic clothing, and it is from her that I purchased my first black gothic lolita headdress. There is something truly mysterious yet elegant in the gothic lolita style which has drawn me to this fascinating form of fashion.
I learnt how to make headdresses from scratch a few years ago, back in the days when I was part of the University of Sydney's anime club in 2007 and 2008. I had used a Japanese craft book as well as my first headdress as a references, and from there I've developed my own interpretation of the design.
All my elegant and goth-punk headdresses are designed by me and handmade right here in Sydney from locally and internationally sourced materials. My sewing isn't quite skilled enough for proper clothing, but I hope to start making clothing and costumes once I get a bit more time from work to practice.
I also enjoy making cute accessories made from felt, which I hope to upload some pictures for your enjoyment.
Maybe I shall see you the next time at a stall or convention, and would love to hear from you otherwise!
Yours faithfully,
Frejya
PS- my heartfelt thanks go to KazamiN for the lovely design of this website and the mascot <3
