the hoarder

I have a confession to make....I am a fabric hoarder.


Now, I know what you're thinking...you sew! Yes this is true...but it's starting to get bad


If this continues you will be seeing me on t.v. surrounded by bags and boxes filled with fabric (and scraps of fabric) my poor turtles will be shoved in a corner and I'll keep saying things like 'I'll use it soon!', 'You can't throw out fabric you'll never know what it could be used for!!'


this is going to be in about a year.


So I've started to moderate myself...only getting what I need and what I know I'll use in at least 3 months...


At the moment I have nearly as much fabric as I do clothes (and I have alot of clothes...)


Turtle update: They swim at me now! When I turn over in bed or when I sit on the edge of my bed they will swim towards me...it's SO cute!


All right you almost didn't get a drawing today but it's been a trying day sewing wise so I want to do anything else BUT that ha ha..haa....Day 15 of 365



It's Haru! In a lace white shoulder dress I'm thinking about making for myself...we'll see about that haha

If anyone wants this dress for themselves...just ask. I will make it...(thus the whole fabric topic)

Till next time suckas

Peace

creativity cramp

Sorry, no time for a real drawing today...and yes I know..I am aware today is the colored picture day. Well I'll give you 2 next week..how about that?


This dress is killing me...spent all day on it and didn't get anywhere really. So I've given up and I'm just going to go with my first idea...no point in stretching THAT out...


Day 14 of 365, this is how I feel right now








































Yup...pretty blah.


Till next time suckas


Peace


(I promise after the 1st the posts wont be so lackluster....)

stage 2: still busy

Good Lord does time fly when you have things to do...


Though I must say it is weird having a deadline but having all the time to do it...I could stay up all night if I want


Let's see if I say that tomorrow and Tuesday when it's strictly sewing days.


I really think I'm going to start making homemade gifts for folks. I went to a bridal shower today, and I made everything I gave her (except the incense) even the bag I made! Ho hoooo crafty crafty me


Ok down to business because I would like to get started on sewing and I'm still cutting out facing (guh...takes me forEVER to pattern and cut!)


Day 13 of 365, I suppose I'll introduce the boys sporadically at the moment...by next week I'll be introducing them one after the other (and I'll do the kids next week too!..there are only 2 guys after this one)


This is Rain 



All right so I'm not putting myself down, but my girls are definitely better than my boys. So this will definitely be a journey of improvement on drawing males (and their broad shoulders, square hands and faces...BUH!)

Till next time suckas!

Peace

no time to spare

Oops.


It's not like I forgot to draw...I just was so busy that all I could draw was this....it's a cop out


Day 12 of 365 (hey never said they'd be good...I'm kidding, I will try my best..but this may happen from time to time, my apologies!)




























It's me....as a cartoon <3 bawwww aren't I cute?? If you ever want me to draw you this way, just ask..it'll literally take me 5 minutes


All right, back to designing....


Till next time suckas


Peace

she's a dancin' machine

Oh that's right...


I dedicate this post to the late Michael Jackson


Why?


Pssh...you know why. 


Ok seriously I could go on for days if you got me going, but I wont....so I decided to share with you one of my favorite performances of his. This was so hard to whittle down...because not only are there so many...they're all AMAZING


I love Michael Jackson, he literally is my favorite artist. So many focus on the latter part of his career and that's so wrong...look at his career as a whole and you'll be blown away


Seriously.





Ok you CANNOT sit there straight face and tell me that boy ain't the baddest there is...seriously try to do it.


(if that doesn't work...here's the link to the video :-) The Jackson 5- Dancing Machine 1973 )


Now down to business before I start ranting and raving..and screaming like a fangirl....haa


Day 11 of 365, Javia in my second photo shoot outfit.










 It's comprised of this really awesome metallic fabric I saved from 2 years ago and chains...straight up hardware store chains.


Yesss.


I also apologize...it looked much better before I colored her hair...sometimes markers loathe me.


Till next time suckas!


Peace


p.s I love you Michael Jackson...forever and ever

gah, creativity cramp

I've taken on a small project....one which I am delighted to participate in because I've never been approached for my work yet (kind of...depressing..*cough..anyway!)


So I'm making 2 (possibly 3) dresses for two photoshoots.


Yay!




...but then my brain shut down on 'cute' designs. CRAP! Idle brains really do stink...I was just getting back into the groove too..and I've hit a pothole.


I got at least one dress down..the other I think I'll have to make up as I go (ehh..)


so here it is Day 10 of 365....redheads do look good in red <3



If you couldn't tell this actually the girl from yesterday's post, Echo. I really like redheads, they're always very cute to me (well within REASON) and I think it's a crime that most of them have been told that they don't look good in red. 

B....S. 

It's jealousy I tell ya! If you're a redhead and have been told that just reply 'just because you can't wear wont stop me'

and repeat if needed <3

Till next time suckas!

Peace <3

the bee's knees

After two weeks of being too busy (and in pain) to work out, I finally jumped on the bike and took my 6.5 mile ride


and a bee flew in my mouth


Awesome start.


Day 9 of 365!! Echo!


So I'm really into the 70s style..actually I'm really into anything that is anything pre-70s. Why? Cuz I love old clothes (old things...I'm getting used to them...old people..I kid I kid, I like old people when they're nice)

Till next time suckas

Peace
