I like to kiss frogs. Even lick them at times. It spices things up.
I must say, I've been feeling a whole lot better lately. I've been in Vegas three months now and am beginning to accept it (it's also cooling down, yay!). I've been busy with all things Mutation the past two weeks and with crafting! I'm hoping to sell some of my wares on October at the First Friday on downtown or if not, sell them on etsy. Am very excited to wrap my little creations with cute strings and write sweet handwritten notes to Star Magnolia's new best friends all across the globe. There is also a wonderful career opportunity looming in at the end of the year that may or may not happen, but the process of getting there and expanding my knowledge in this field (okay, I'll spill one detail: it's textile design) has been so rewarding itself and it's so much fun to learn about this!
So, I feel that a little bit of peace is finally setting over my Summer-emo heart. Though some matters of the heart are hard NOT to surrender to, and you just have to accept that some things, some people, happened for a reason at a specific time in your life and they may just not happen again. All you can really do is store those sweet memories in your old wooden jewelry box and...move on.
But yeah, crafting! For the upcoming Fall season (which I am SOOOOO looking forward to, believe me, 118 degrees is NOT awesome, whatever merits you may have heard regarding Vegas' dry heat) I want to make some pretty pretty pretty flower brooches. Coats, jackets, blazers ALWAYS need to be accessorized. They feel lonely and unpretty at times. So it is my job to make them feel like the queens of Winter again! Here is one I tried with some flashy fabrics I bought at Joanns (for a very different reason, which hopefully, I will be getting my hands on shortly):
My current 50mm view from the sewing machine: airfares, books to purchase, passwords, pretty brooches and a simple ivory thread whose color never ceases to inspire me.
Also, no post of mine is complete without a silly image of yours truly:
This was taken on Boulder City (basically where all the workers lived while Hoover Dam was in construction), just outside of Vegas. There is a fantabulous fabrics store in the "Old Town", sadly, we went on a Sunday, so it was closed. BUT when I have a wee bit more money I shall stop by again. They even had some vintage spools on the window display, and y'all know how much I heart those.
