Hello!
So tired to-day, it was like I woke up the day before and ran around like Ms. Pacman gobbling up morsels of goodness while pocketing eggs that plastic hens left behind.
Oh wait, that did happen the day before, except for the last part.
I spent most of the morning under curls and hot Chai; recovering. It then occurred to me how badly outdated and dark this blog has turned out to be. With confused, yet, desperate efforts, I spent a good 30 minutes trying to tweak and prod blogger's *useful* tools to no avail. Then, I finally settled on an old blog layout; the internet's many outdated features can still look ok.
At first where my body was fatigued now it's almost to the point of atrophy. My neural muscles have been overworked without first having any decent rest, mush is the best word to describe it.
I think sewing can wait; to-day, I need balance and some green tea.

I wish everyday could be Hallowe'en...almost.
Hello, I haven't updated in a while, because I've stuck to posts that are mainly shop-related. So this post will deviate somewhat from that.
October has come and gone. If you live in the South, as I do; real Autumns and Winters are rare. It is not quite cold enough for the proper monochromatic ensemble or overcast enough to spend more than an hour walking the outdoors. I was lucky enough to spend last year in much colder temperatures: rain, sleet, (no snow), but below freezing nights were enough to keep me from cursing this year too much.
So in lieu of the time originally planned for cold nights out, I stayed in with Chai brewing and my Pixie stitching. 2 costumes with enough time to make (my first) Fascinator this year; this Hallowe'en saw the most items made, from sketchbook to sewing table. With great results, especially my first millinery venture; a witch hat.
Photo of yours truly with hat:
Another part I'm proud of is the low cost of the items made for this Hallowe'en, less than the cost of a house party pizza. Thank you Goodwill!
Early in October was another first-time project for me: bedding.
Inspired by a wonderfully comfortable square quilted blanket, black on one side, silver sheen on the other.
Here a quick detailed snapshot I took of the blanket, sorry for the flash.
It's a blanket only a monochromatically inclined futurist could love.
This blanket, unfortunately, stays in the bed; it's much too big for couch lounging.
So taking a cue from my space blanket and Ofelia (a favorite bedding collection from Ikea)
(reference photo)
It seemed necessary to put together Ofelia's fluffiness and the monochromatic, minimalist style of my quilt, plus it needed to be couch worthy.
So, after an entire day of sewing and a lot of gathering; I finished my first throw blanket.
The photo doesn't show both sides but the opposite is black and made from cotton. The ruffling is also on both sides, making it extra fluffy.
Although it was meant for the couch, on a few occasions it found its way into the bedroom; for extra warmth.
Both first time projects were fun, I don't plan to make more to sell. I like having personal projects once in a while.
In essence, October was very productive, I plan to do more next Autumn; sun or snow.
The next few posts I make should be Etsy listings, plan to see a few more dresses and a possible tutu-skirt.

New listing plus a sneak peak at personal project
This week I had another dive into the vintage storage room to find another velvet skirt which brings this newly available vintage gem:
BULE/GREEN, TURQUOISE, CRUSHED VELVET PANNE TIERED SKIRT VINTAGE DESTASH - FREE SHIPPING
This past week I started to work on a jewelry project strictly for myself, it was inspired by some amazing jewelry I saw on a website of a handmade jewelry shop based in California.
Of course I couldn't bring myself to spend upwards of $100 on one piece of jewelry, as beautiful as they are. Hence, my diy wheels started turning and yielded me quite an amazing piece:
Cost? Less than $20, plus it looks better (if I do say so myself) than the original inspiring pieces, for only seeing a few pictures of them.
There will be more pieces made, possibly a pair of earrings or a bracelet, we'll see...

Re-listed items and book list
Next week there will be a few re-listed items, especially since one item is getting a picture retake.
Don't forget to check out the cute vintage items I have on sale in my shop.
Get them before they are gone!! <3
----------------------------------
While writing this post, I thought I'd list down some recommended reading as well as books that I have not read, but plan on doing so.
Of course, I'm sure we all have read J.D. Salinger, so I'll spare you that.
I'm slowly starting to get into Neil Gaiman, even though I totally slacked on the 1 book 1 tweet thing this Summer, my trek through "American Gods" continues.
A while back I thought it a great idea to re-read "Tale of the Body Thief" by: Anne Rice and "Faust" concurrently, since there are so many references to that book, it seemed only logical to learn what it was they were saying. Bad idea.
A friend recommended "Idlewild" by: Nick Sagan, it was good. I never read the last chapter though. I guess I'm not really into sci-fi novels all that much.
I received "Just Kids" by: Patti Smith a few months ago as a gift. I'm still in the first reading of it, so far I see it as a wonderfully detailed recounting of her life, fond memories, lessons, and evolution along side the incredible Robert Mapplethorpe, my favourite photographer.
If you're into overly dramatic personas and undertones intensely ebon with gothic-like romance and infatuation, then "Dolis" by: Maki Kusumoto would be a good manga/graphic novel for you. The illustrations are riddled with dark 80's influence and a touch of androgynous lust. It was given to me for Christmas and now my obsession with the artwork of Maki Kusumoto has increased 10-fold. A favorite of mine.
If you're in school, find: "Flowers for Algernon" by: Daniel Keyes; it will pull on your heart strings and spark your curiosity for what's to come in adult life. While making you appreciate the ability to feel, think; and push you to go beyond your comforting surroundings in life.
After a few lucky trips to Goodwill and Half-Priced Books I've acquired:
"The Picture of Dorian Gray" by: Oscar Wilde
"Three Stories and a Reflection" by: Patrick Süskind (yes I plan on reading "Perfume" and halfway through "The Pigeon")
and
"Neverwhere" by: Neil Gaiman
These I plan on reading in the near future.
Recommend something to me.

Pre-grand Opening Sale! Get a 15% off coupon!
Hello all!
Just some quick shop news:
This month I will hold the grand opening of my September Carolan etsy shop, and as you already know, there is a pre-grand opening destash sale with amazingly gorgeous vintage clothing going on in my shop right now, as well as some supplies for your crafts.
Now that the grand opening is this month, I am offering a sale.
When you purchase an item from the pre-grand opening "destash" section of my etsy shop, you will get a coupon for 15% off one item in the grand opening "handmade" section (refunded through paypal)
The coupon will be sent via etsy message.
Better hurry and get in on this deal, the coupons will expire in August.
So this also means you can get the coupon before my grand opening!
