O_O

Ok so I will admit I have been a slacker lately.
When I quit my job I thought that suddenly with all of my free time I would be crafting and sewing and creating.
But instead of just been so exhausted and all I want to do is lounge around.
That needs to stop now because summer is hastily coming to an end.

There are various ideas that I have and want to execute
-more headbands (sell them at Simple Gestures/The Closet/Goldfinch-make guitar straps like the patchwork one I made for Chris (it was just a simple black strap, and then I took scraps of fabric and just sewed them on in a cool pattern)
-CLOTHES why the heck am I not making them. I don't understand. What is wrong with me?
-I feel like selling different types of teas (ready to drink iced or hot) at the farmers market would be a hit and be incredibly cheap

I also start my online AP art history course on April 1st so these are my last couple days/weeks before I need to start killing myself with school stuff

which reminds me SUMMER ART!
AICE ART FOCUS????
anyone?
anyone at all?

I was thinking something fashion related
or a butterfuly evolution thing that ties in with that
or something relating to Downtown St. Augustine architecture

There is just so much floating up in my brain and I really need to take action and organize it.

Becca's Bands Progress!

New Listings on Etsy!

rrrrroomroommm!

I have recently decided that I want to redo my entire bedroom.

It has progressively turned into a black hole of clothes, fabric, shoes, and random art supplies (as well as Miss Nancy my dress form lurking in the corner)

If I ever want to be productive, I have to have an organized space that I can go and work on my projects and be happy with the atmosphere.

So I'm just throwing some images out there that I like and want to base my new and improved room off of.

Feather Frenzy!

NEW LISTING ON ETSY

I am now starting a new line called "Becca Bands" which will feature a line of personally designed headbands (including feathers/bows/button/ and anything fun!)

Check it out!

Why is a raven like a writing desk?

Around a week ago my brother asked me if I can draw something on the bottom of his surfboard. Thus the practice copy of the mad hatter. Watercolor, marker, pen.

Having A Moment

Christian Siriano's New TV show "Christian Siriano Having a Moment" is love. Even as he is freaking out before a runway show he is still hilarious.
Christian was a the winner of Season Four Project Runway.
His new show highlights the way he runs his new and successful design career and the obstacles that he faces as a designer and person everyday.

(CHRISTIAN SIRIANO AND TIM GUNN)

His Spring 2010 collection had unique wave-like shapes in beautiful shades of blue as well as darker "lusty" colors.

I admire Christian for being so young and succesful and really growing from the opportunities that branched from Project Runway.

He's Fierce.

Tonight

Dear Happy Little Blog,

I'm sorry I have been neglecting you. It's just I have not felt particularly happy lately. I just recently got a job that I am not so thrilled to have, but you know what they say... gotta pay the bills (although I don't quite exactly have bills to pay...). I've just been quite stressed lately because i feel terribly lonely. The pressures of life are starting to kick in and it makes me sad. I want to sew and paint and skip but now I've been working on various things and worrying about things and just trying to keep it together. Social stresses are getting to me as well and it makes me want to be alone but surrounded by people all at once. I feel like whenever I try to focus and get ahead i feel myself falling further and further behind.

My heart just seems to ache and jealousy never seems to leave me alone. This has been an on going problem for my whole life and I really need to get over it. The fact that I know it is a problem though doesn't make it any easier though. It just makes it more difficult.
Ha maybe I should just join a ten step program.

At least Volume Two by She&Him has came out (I just bought it on itunes!) maybe one day I can be as cool as Zoeey.

But as I sit all scenic-like with the table light on waiting for my phone to ring I suppose I can vent to a blog.

That's the most logical thing to do anyways.
