Mad Tea Party

I have a major thing for all things tea.
The tea itself.
The teacups.
The teapots.
Tea parties.

This mosiac teapot was made by the user paintedcottages on etsy.

It is very French/Marie Antoinette therefore it is beautiful in my book.

i dont like to write very much. but i have ideas, so i suppose i should try to execute them.

tearing apart the world with her eyes
starting at the tree tops
working towards the sky

moving forward without her limbs
the ground falling in at her very whim
the world collapsing at her feet
she is greeted by defeat

"hello" he says
and offers his arm
his smile a facade of charm

there are no more trees
and no more sky
just the meet and greet
of her herself and defeat.

A small personal statement

It's extremely hard missing someone you are used to always being there

Don't take them for granted

You'll regret it.

Hats are my favorite acessories. The hat maker of these amazing ones is the user RetroReproHandmade on etsy. She really inspires me to make some felt hats.

Oh and I'll have some new designs up soon.

update

I read the the "Butterflies are Free" script by Leonard Gershe that I am going to design costumes for. It is for the International Thespian Society, and at district competition I will be heavily criqued/interrogated until I'm drenched in prespiration.

The play is a comedy in two acts. It is about a young man named Don who is around 20 years old that moves into a shabby apartment in New York City. He meet his neighbor Jill who is nineteen and a fleety hippie. The thing is Don is blind and Jill has a weird feeling that if she sleeps with Don and then continues a commitment shell end up leaving and hurting him.

Its a really great play, wrote in the 1960's.

I'm very excited about designing.

New Listing!

I made a pair of earrings to sell! I'm really getting into fall ever since a coat is needed and I am really adoring it :)

Edna!

Say "allo" to Edna the Octopus!

(yes she does have eight legs!)

Oh what is next????

chicka!

The other day a friend of mine and I were at Michaels Craft Store, and I saw this book of little crochet/knit animals. I immediately picked it up and told him that "I am going to make these since they are adorable" he looked at me and said "No. Your not." I hate to be doubted, so here we go folks.

baby chicken with a pink hair bow!

I could not for the life of me figure out the crochet pattern (need to practice that) so I just kinda made this one up. Its all in slip stich and single stitch crochet with a size 4 .5 needle.

Etsy?

New Etsy Post!

I felt like being productive, so I made a bracelet!

I did not get to go to Hobby Lobby or Michaels so I just tried using random things lying around and this is what I came up with.

:]

"The best way to feel happy, is to be happy."

"There's a starman waiting in the sky

He'd like to come and meet us

But he thinks he'd blow our minds"

Oh Bowie what you do to me.

tiny

little girl spinning round
then she falls onto the ground
seems so simple
seems so neat
likes to jump up on her feet

once in a while this little girl cries
but its only when she says goodbyes
her locket hangs on her neck
but she puts her hand up just to check
no one knows what she has inside
she only lets out small soft sighs

staring out into the blue
if only if only someone knew.

OH Poe!

My drama class is putting on various one acts of tales by Edgar Allen Poe. One of the one acts is "The Cask of Amontillado". I decided to take it upon myself to do the costuming for all the shows in my class, which include "Tell Tale Heart" and "The Fall of the House of Usher". So as I am working on Cask, I realize I need to make a mask for one of the characters because he was going to a festival. I said bring on the sequins!

I'm considering making some masquerade masks with feathers and sequins to sell on my etsy site because I enjoyed making this one so much!

b.t.w I found some size 15 knitting needles and peacock colored yarn! Any project ideas?

oh men.

The Art of Dressing.

I love the rolled up pant. the bow tie. fitted sweaters. toggle button coats. lace up shoes.

goodness how things have changed.

outfit

So I find thrifting to be one of the most amazing experiences one can experience in life.

for example

This outfit is a bargain. I bought the black oversized blazer at goodwill as well as the blue and white daisy dress ( dont worry there are shorts under it!) I made the bow tie myself out of some old fabric. The combat boots were 90% off at DSW.

YAY discounts.

p.s do you, or anyone else you know want to model? since i really much rather not have myself model things. gracias.

Insanium in the Cranium

There is a little girl who has this AMAZING blog.

I admire her oh so much.

She's truly unbelievable.

Makes me realize I have A LOT of work to do.

eloise!

Oh how I love Eloise.

lovely

So I have found an amazing designer on etsy that goes by the username "sarahseven" I have already emailed her telling her how much I love all of her work.

The intricate pleating, the beautiful draping, the color, cinched waist, and outlined bust makes it the perfect siloutte in my book. The models skin tone goes so nicely with the dress, but I'm sure a darker skinned girl woul look stellar as well.

Look up sarahseven on http://www.etsy.com/ you won't regret it.

I have also noticed that Emma Watson (our beloved Hermoine) seems to be the newest face of Burberry. This is thrilling because shes beautiful in non conventional way and is being a sophistacted role model. Plus is gives burberry a more youthful side.

more magazine madness

So I decided to decorate my planner and french binder. Oh how I love magazine cut outs!
