When Life Gives You Lemons...

You make a kick ass lemon skirt!!!!

Check it out! This is my new "creation"! This is a retro style reversable wrap skirt. One side features kelly green fabric and two little embroidered lemons. The other side is made of an awesome lemon printed fabric. THere is a yellow ribbon going all the way around the skirt that is long enough to wrap around and tie on the other side if wanted. There are buttons on both sides so you can wear this sucker however you want. And he most cool part is when you walk, you can see the underside. This skirt is really too cute!!
BTW - I had no model, so I had to photo these laying on the bed. I'll get some better pics! (Mr Biggs said these weren't his colors...so he wouldn't try it on for the pics!)
Let me know what you think!

Domestic Diva and Mr Biggs Loves Hooters

So all weekend long I was so domestic. Saturday after I got off work I came home and cleaned for like 9 hours straight. I figured it was time because there were dog hair tumbleweeds floating across the floor. I am tallking my house is CLEAN! I told Mr Biggs that the living room was so empty after I put everything where it belonged that I could hear my voice echo!
So yesterday i woke up and went to the evil grocery store. I say that because it is the closest one to my house and all the teenagers who work there are mean and have total attitude because I am bothering them by making them do their job of checking me out and baggin my groceries. Mr Biggs was sp excited to have groceries in the house that he almost helped me put them up! Instead he decided to heat up the leftover hooters wings and sat on his butt and watched tv. Gotta love him.
Then, the most super exciting thing...
I spent yesterday sewing! I made the cutest skirt! I have to sew some snaps on it this evening after I get out of class, but other than that, it is fabulous! I will have to post pics of it tonight!
Well I am off to my last day of the intership from hell.

Irritation, and general life I guess

I have to say, I am irritated. I just started a flickr account. I was browsing around looking for groups to join to display the things that I am making for etsy.
Let me just start this by saying, I sew. I have always sewn. I recently discovered resin and I though "hey, that looks neat". Well I started making things and I thought I would put it on Etsy and try to sell it. Mind you I have not made a SINGLE sale yet. Well as I was looking around Flickr I saw this girl who also sells resin on etsy. She had made a pendant that said "eat @#$%". She said it was dedicated to all the copycat people on etsy that make resin stuff. She said there were 4 people. She named two of them. I assume I am one of them because I also put sprinkles in things and blah blah blah.
You know, I have never looked at anything on etsy and said "I am going to copy that and sell it'! I make things, in my opinion that look totally different than hers! I put buttons ands a lot of glitter in my stuff! It just makes me mad because she had all these people on there that were bashing the other people and saying that they would spread the word not to buy from these people! that is shit! I mean come one! How many people sell kids clothes on there, you know? How many people sell aprons and hats? I am sure they don't all talk smack and tell people not to buy from the other people! I feel like they sell the same stickers and charms and buttons in my town, why the hell can I not put sprinkles in my necklace???
Well I have news for this bitch. I hate to say it but she is a bitch. On her site she was calling everyone else that did resin a bunch of "thieving cunts". So yeah, I will call her a bitch.
I do sew, and I am about to start making something that is so much way cooler than her stoopid self has ever seen.
On top of that, you are all gonna be so excited to see my new resin idea. TOTALLY NEW<> NOT STOLLEN AT ALL...
Sorry to vent, it just make me mad. Only my sis is allowed to call me a cunt :)

In general life news, I am so excited about easter. Well not the whole bunny part, but the getting to be out of school and getting to see my family. About a year ago I moved 40 minutes away from my family that I had always lived across the road from. I only get to see them about once a week now, and miss them terribly!
Oh, and I totally love easter for the candy!!!

Well I am off to finish working and then to go to the SEWING store so I can make some cool things:)

Thanks for reading!!!
