Too much too soon!

So many things have been happening since the start of February.
And at the same time, not much of anything...

  • I made my first sale on Etsy :)
  • Completely cleaned out my closet along with my mothers and sisters closets.
  • Began spring cleaning (actually I 'spring clean' almost every other month, but I skipped December so February was overdue!)
  • Had no internet for about 10 days eeeek!
  • Having the bathroom remodeled. Turns out we have asbestos! YIKES!
  • MASSIVE grocery shopping with my mother - but we're about that frugal life so we're not broke. lol Thank the Lord for coupons!
  • Still on the hunt for a jay-oh-bee (job)
  • My sleep schedule is completely out of whack! Most days I'm asleep through daylight hours and wide awake at night. My new bedtime? 7 a.m. =/
  • I've been going coocoobananas with DIY projects! I need something to keep me sane with all that's been gong on in my personal life these past few months. My sewing machine has never gotten so much frequent use as it has the last 6 or so months. (Okay, so technically it's my mothers... but seeing as how she never uses it I have claimed it as my own MUAHAHA >;] )

Anyhoo, there's much more detail coming soon.

One more thing...

So I just posted and ended with "until tomorrow..."
Well, actually now that I think about it I should probably start saying something else because I always have one or two (or five) more things to add. I won't edit them in because I feel they deserve their own separate post LOL.

SO here's a sneak peak for manana's PPS (pretend photo shoot):




















































I have a few more skirts and accessories that I need to shoot so that I can put them up for sale. A lot of people take the easy way out and just use basic photos of their clothes/items on a hanger, mannequin, or laid out over a nice table or something. But I personally need to see it on someone. I need to see it put together nicely, nothing too fancy. Like I said before- catalog style.

Also, if everything goes right with my camera expect a vlog tomorrow :)






Pretend photo shoot









My dad was a good sport. He got up early to help me take a million and one serious and not-so-serious pictures for a bunch of items that I'm selling.


Anywho, so about this 'photo shoot." Usually I do these for a reason, i.e. selling my things, but a lot of times what ends up happening is that just like most girls I like taking random pictures! I have never let go of my childish dream of being a model. Not the runway type. I'm more into the catalog scene.

Since I was around 11 or 12 I started to go onto online clothing sties like Delias.com and Alloy.com and request catalogs every season. The funny thing is the only thing I've EVER bought anything from one of those catalogs that I've gotten was a pair of really great faux leather knee-high flat boots in the 9th grade! If only you could see how many of those I still have. It's a bit ridiculous I must say...


All in all if you've seen my post "This is ridic" you'd know that today was a great sun-shiny day until my camera decided to malfunction. On my sisters way home from work she picked up pizza for us so that definitely turned my lil frown upside down :)





This is ridic



    I tried making a vlog not once but twice today! It was a massive fail. But the sun was quickly fading away as was my patience. So I have decided that tomorrow at dawn... WE STRIKE!



    ***edit:
    Yeah, sooooo the video thing ain't gonna happen. Lol I seriously cannot figure it out. Oh well.
