My summer knitting project, I actually finished it a while ago, but if we're friends on the Facebook, you've already seen this!
I'm pretty pleased with how this lovely little thing came out, although I'll admit, I would rather just look at it then wear it.

Well, hopefully just posting some pictures of my knitting doesn't cause you to think I've become a crazy cat lady or have lost interest in everything else. I just want to show off my newest ability to successfully make things out of some string and sticks!

Because I needed another hobby, right? I suspect my obsessive-yet-lazy nature is going to drive me insane eventually.

DEAR LIVEJOURNAL, I MISS YOU.
Even though I haven't posted in almost seven months, I haven't given up on you. I read you daily, even if the posting going on on my friends list has decreased dramatically.
Like in real life, I sometimes have no idea what to say. I would rather be quiet then spout out dumb shit, which I am sadly very good at. But, in doing so I keep myself from saying almost anything. I second guess myself too often. I wish I could stop that. I haven't really figured myself out at all, not even a tiny bit it feels like.
I am pretty under the weather this week, so I'm in a off mood to begin with. Next week I may feel differently about myself.
I knitted a little robot-monster-thing for Josh for Valentine's
Well, I still don't have anything profound to say, I just felt like posting something.

I finally did something crafty, feels like it's been a while ^^ I found these horrible/wonderful flowers at the dollar store a few weeks ago and knew I had to buy them for a project. They're just SO bright and fluorescent and uwah ugly D: I really
( Something to wear to Psytrance )
So, along with a new Psytrance-appropriate hair piece, I will have two new prints to show as well:
Yay!

So yesterday I wrote about the skirt I wanted to make- "I don't really have high hopes"
Apparently these were magic words, because my skirt turned out wonderfully without any hassle! I had a much more difficult time making the red linen skirt. This one didn't turn out 100%, only because I didn't/couldn't top stitch the edges of the vinyl ruffles... I took a stab at that, failed, and decided it wasn't worth the trouble. I also think I should have ruffled the tulle separately from the vinyl so it'd be more poofy. This is a skirt for clubbing though, not for tea, so I think it is ok if it's not totally perfect~
I realize it may not look too impressive, but guys, I fucking ruffled vinyl on the serger!!! I really did not think that would work... Now I just have to make a top and some bows to go with it~
*happy dance*

Maaan, I never got pics of any of my Dragon*Con outfits, I particularly wanted a few of this outfit but forgot to take any to show off~ I made this to wear to the lolita's tea party at the Ritz, I decided to wear it again this week just because~
( 3 pics~ )
I made the hat, the vest, and the skirt with some fabric I found at the thrift store... I think it was about 8 yards for $5! Awesome <3 The blouse and shoes were also thrifted~ Much love for the thrift stores over here. I made a little handbag to go with it a well this week:
The print is really not my usual style, but who cares, I thought it was cute enough for a lolita coordination. Next week I'm going to work on a set for Abbie Kun with this fabric <3 Then we can be cross-country 'twins' XD Hehe.

Woooo Halloween is over! *is dead* I was up far too late this morning and awake too early ^^ Oh well. Maybe I'll take a nap later before Weasel's party!
( Our Costumes... )
Oh, and b/c so many people asked, "What does a giraffe sound like?"
Go to 1:50 and watch~

Soooooooo.... We got a new sewing machine recently I finally put it to work today~
I swear the wall isn't dirty... it's the mirror...
OTK 'Button Up' Legwarmers XD They don't really button up, sadly, because it's just impossible to make button holes with the sewing machine on a knit sweater.
I bought a (new!) sweater and a ugly dress with tons of buttons on it from the thrift store for about $6. They came out pretty much how I expected them to- a bit wonky in places, but still wearable to a club night or something.

Speckschnittenlebkuchenhaus - Bacon Ginger Bread House made with bacongingerbread and baconcreme frosting! The Anti-Craft did their Beltane '08 issue all about bacon (I forgot to check the site until today, oops)~
Hehe, I made something today XD A purse! I made a skirt earlier this week but I haven't finished up the accessories yet... This is definitely my most complex project I've worked on, I'm actually really surprised it came out so nice *___*
