Commenting to this blog

I thought I might add: if I find comments on this blog that appear to be spam, are unrelated to the posted subject, or don't make it for any other reason to my dissernment, I'll won't let them through moderation.

Not to be mean, of course, but quite simply I am a busy highschooler and can't privately inform everyone on why their comment didn't make it.

I do digress!

casey

I'd post pictures....

...but again I'm on holiday and did not bring a webcam, or a stick to transfer pics from my camera over with. Ah well....

Just to drive you all crazy...

Peter's foot. That's all.

Well, finally, pics of them skirts

Warning: Pictures out of order!

Anyhoo, this is the skirt I made over the past few days: cut out last night, and then sewn today. You can't see it, but it's a calico in a red-brown, with white lace trim and two tucks near the edge of the skirt.

I made more SKIRTS! Or, in other words, my own sewing and refashions are slowly eating away my closet space. At least it's cheap....

See! The multi-colored plaid skirt! Yes, hanging on one of the lamps. Yes, clashing horribly with my pink walls! Note dragon(s). See if you can find them!!! Also note three small pink pigs.

The green plaid skirt... no, not new. Just it had to be with the rest of its group, see.... One dragon this picture.

This one is new though!!! I made it out of this absoutely lovely fabric I had; it is very crisp and nearly shiny! It's my picnic skirt, I think.... To be worn this spring and summer, hopefully. Yes, made this afternoon.... And yes, it had to be pieced from the limited about of fabric I had but STILL! I plan to wear it with a little white cami. Maybe. =P

Fabric close up. The bias-cut is the waistband.

All four skirts were made without a pattern, only my measurements. The summer skirts hit the top of the knee in length, while the winter ones are longer. No, not exactly fashionable, but sixty or seventy years ago these were the perfect lengths, and we all know my current obsession with vintage....

What's up with Peter's face? Part 2

Here, here, here we go again. I'm gonna drive y'all crazy again, with even more drawings of what else? Peter's face?

Since I'm hopeless with the computer and can't seem to get the link to my first post about Peter, you can click on the "Peter" label on the side of the blog to access part 1.

Anyhooo.

These drawings represent everything from my second-ever drawing of Peter (number five; my first-ever I trashed after my brother told me he looked like a Jonas Brother or something. Peter hasn't had curly hair since.) to some done within the last week (number ten, for example. Yes, numbers ten and two were taken with my webcam). I have a few that aren't on here, but this represents quite a bit of Petery-ness!

I've numbered them; do say which is truly the one which you like, though I'm quite aware that you know nothing of the character! Also, bonus picture of one of my main characters---other than Peter--- in the middle. No, having her in Peter's pic does NOT indicate "something"... LOL! I was drawing a few of my main characters at the time, and cropped out the Classified Character(s).

Anyhow, just comment with the number of your favorites!

Why yes, I actually do take photos!

...Isn't mud on your cutest boots what makes life worth while? =P

....Or thus, a bunch of pictures of secenery, and other stuff I saw in the seattle area, on thanksgiving holiday from school.

To start, it was a crazy trip for miss stay-at-home-girl. I went to school friday, as normal, whereinthen my dad picked me up from school (my mum and the kids had taken a flight early that morning) and we drove to the airport, took the flight (slow from turbulence!) and took an hour-long taxi to my late grandfather's house, where we stayed the night. The next morning, we got back into the car and drove three-ish hours to mid-washington, for my cousin's wedding. After the wedding we drove back to the house (another three hours) and yeah, basically after that I was pretty tired! Well, I DO have fibromyalgia, what can I say????

Anyhow. Pics from trip.

Me, in the woods.

Ned reading.



SNOW!! We don't get this where I live.

SHOES! Lol and the green plaid skirt.

....and after we left the snowy area. Forgive glare. Taking stuff through car windows on a road trip is HARD!

Out of the window at the house. Note teeny little bench. Isn't it too cute??? Too bad it's too dirty to sit on....

Note cow in field.

No, it isn't photoshopped---- this is what this place truly looks like.

And where would we be without pics of my shoes?

Absolutely gorgeous. Or it would be if I'd just crop the picture.

Okay. Mentally crop out everthing by the mysterious fog-blurred trees in the background? Are you feeling it too? What? FORKS?!??!?! NO!!!!!! This is a full three hours away from FORKS!

It all revolves in a circle. Meet, again, my muddy boots. Funny how Twilight never mentioned the mud... wouldn't precious eddie get it stuck on his designer boots while running?

not a twilight fan.

ta-ta

um, wow, I'm actually alive

So I haven't posted in like, nearly months, but here's what I've been up to:

No pics, sad, because

1. I'm too lazy to upload them

2. I'm on my little laptop (the one my dad dug out of a drawer and got ready for me, yay) and that has like NO STUFF on it to upload.

Anyhow.

I've made most of my stays by now, I just have to try them on so I can position the eyelets for the shoulder straps. And then sew the eyelets for the shoulder straps. Though I don't expect any of that to happen soon...

I've also made a new skirt--- just like my favorite green one (which I've gotten to wear three times, yay for school-for-next-year interviews)--- it's a lovely plaid of a bunch of different dark-ish colors. I didn't have a lot of fabric, because I got it during the fabric adventure, which means it was a weird-shaped little piece (triangle) but it managed to work... I had to make the skirt an inch or two shorter than my last one, and make the waistband much thinner than my last one, and piece the back... but it ended up working. And it's nice and full enough, unlike...

...my other new skirt, which is NOT full enough for my taste! And the waistband is too small, which I suppose is what I get for trying to get a knee-length skirt out of less than a yard! I suppose I could make it into something else evetually...

And the book! I've gotten a few new fabulous ideas, and although I haven't worked out all the quirks (and probably never get them ALL) it's still going quite nicely! That is, when I actually get around to working on it! I'm an INKLING students (yay to those who know what that is) so the pre-christmas-break work is driving me crazy!

Oh dear, this is quite a long post. Horray for typing away while watching a Christmass-y movie with some of my siblings.

Ah well.
