So the week has started, I’ll be sewing a storm and making food for my bday all week. I’m having lil freak outs that I’ll be turning 23 in a lil over a year ahaha. Turning 22 will get all my priorites straight, I’m no careless kid anymore.

i’m still sick. I think I’ll be a little bit sick still at my bday =( lamers.

Just thought I’d share my new favorite online shop. GudonyaToo Soaps and Spas. Yummmmy vegan/handmade soap products. I got the Whipped Clean in Creamsicle and Smoochy Skin Bars in Italian Lemon Cream. They are amazzing. The skin bars especially make my skin feel so great. I want to try everything now haha. The natural deodorant sounds really nice.

So I realized the fall/winter fashion week is completely over. I didn’t do it cause I had a whole lot of other things on my plate. I do want to do spring fashion week though. Why not. It’s really fun.

So fashion week I’m going to show some graffiti corsets and my own showcase for my collection. I’ll be doing shows beforehand for those projects too tho.

I need to start designing! My goal in the next couple months is getting myself a body form. Everything will be dreamy to do once I get it.

So for spring I want to make the collection a little bit more mature, but with my style mixed in. And I gotta work on my construction more. There were lots of mistakes in what I did last collection. And I also gotta simplify my designs so I don’t rip out my hair hahah. Also that will make it cheaper so I can sell them off easier.

random: I was looking through photos of Mike Patton on google image and I found a picture of me in one of the pages haha. check it out!. It’s on the bottom ahaha. Man I was a colourful mess when I was 18.

Brett is accompanying me today. i hope his mask he’s working on for halloween will turn out good. He put a lot into it.

The magazine release party went fine. I chilled with Bev which is always fun. I got to see Annaliza and Trevor and we discussed a little bit about our graffitied corset project. I gotta get working on it! I have to set up a date of completion. It’s hard to work without due dates.

Looks like me and Emily are going to do a little sale at my studio soon. I can’t wait =) Then this will also give me a due date to make some fun accessories too.

mann I hate that my internet is the fastest during the day, cause I’m at my studio during the day and making websites is sooo hard when the net is slow at night.

I really have to get on redoing my business website aswell. And start selling stuff on there…

More colourlovers patterns? Ohh yes ;)

I applied for Royal Bison Arts and Craft Fair, I hope I get a table for it! I have neat items I plan to make for it. Not much clothing at all actually. Doing the Animethon really got me excited to try out craft fairs. I hope I do well, then I can do the bigger ones like Stop and Shop.

Today I woke up without a voice. My throat is killing me. I went to my studio today which wasn’t the greatest idea because the air there is so dry. On a normal day I get this dry throat thing going, so being sick and getting it was bad.

The Magazine Project, who interviewed me for their new issue called Curbside are having a release party tomorrow. I didn’t know it was tomorrow til the guy from the mag called me ahaha. I have to bring a guest.. so I need to find a date asap. lame! I am making an underbust corset for myself to wear for the event. It’s turning out really nice. This is the first time making myself a corset in a couple years actually haha.

So for Halloween I really want to make a good costume. Last year I didn’t have time so my outfit was laaame. I want to be a girl version of Alex from Clockwork Orange this year. Bowler hat and white corsetted outfit, I can’t wait =) Well hopefully I can pull it off anyways haha.

So a dozen days left until my birthday. I shall blog about the shiet I want haha. I’ll eventually get all these for myself anyways.

Wishlist:
1. A tablet. Man it would make graphic design much easier. And I can actually do proper logos and stuff. My photographer friend just got one and it made me pretty jealous haha.

2. A darn body form. These things are pricey but necessary. It would make pattern drafting so much more accurate and easy.

3. Lolita boots. Winter is coming, need some cute boots! Or two or three! And I gotta fix the zippers to a couple pairs of old boots.

4. A haircut ahaha. I still want to shave the sides of my head. haven’t had time to really do it.

5. Perfume of course. Can’t get enough! I especially want Anna Sui non dolly girl related ones. and ones from vivianne westwood just cause i love her ahaha. I’m still in search of a fall/winter scent. It’s so hard. perfumes either smell amazing or absolutely horrid on me.

6. Rolls and rolls of PVC or the cutest lolita fabric ever :B oh and especially cute unique trims.

7. horn spirals. I’m getting sick of just regular plugs. I’m starting to go without anything in my lobes nowadays. Need to try something neww.

8. More clothes in general. Fall is here and I’m very unprepared.

9. More plastic large jewelery. but I’m making myself a bunch right now anyways, so I guess it should be changed to more plastic jewelery bits and beads!..

There’s definitely more but these are the main things I guess hahaha. I need a rich boyfriend.

Just thought i’d dump a bunch of useless but interesting links from my bookmarks on here so I can clean it up =)

man my throat is killing me. Looks like a seasonal cold =(

That was easier then I expected. We left a few hours after, and my mom isn’t in pain at all. Thank goodness.

I don’t know why I find walking around buildings so fun. The other day me and Brett walked around the UofA to find a spinal cord model for his Halloween costume, which we found at their bookstore (not even medial supply shops have them!) and it was neat looking inside the UofA buildings. They look like mini malls haha. The Royal Alex hospital was kinda fun to walk around in. Maybe I have ADD or something and get easily amused by new surroundings?

okay so I’m going to try and not go online that much today unless it’s to make websites haha. I gotta cut myself off.

I’ll leave you guys with a couple new colour patterns I made. This website is almost as addictive as facecrack.

I’m getting better =b Now if only those fanlistings I applied for got approved so I can use some palettes I’ve done as inspiration for my layouts.

I’m always finding wierd but interesting things online (also from friends). I am doing a “link dump” category of all the things I run into. Enjoy!

Man i haven’t been very productive lately. This week I gotta get my shit together. I think I don’t have the best moods lately either. Perhaps it’s because fall has come.

My mother is going for surgery tomorrow, I hope everything turns out okay. It’s nothing absolutely serious or anything no worries. I might have to stay home during the day time for the next week and a half to make sure she’s doing okay.

I’m unsure if I want to do my birthday anymore. I get too nervous around so many people. Nowadays I’m so zombified and thoughtless. I was at two birthdays this one night and it was really hard to act regular and fine. I don’t know how to work on this. I used to be fine. I blame the mental abuse from my ex. I’m sure I won’t cancel my birthday, I’ll just suck it up. Maybe it will make me feel better haha. Unless I vomit from all the alcohol intake ;b

I made a couple colourlover patterns

Seems I’m very into blue and purple right now. I was never really a blue fan unless it was a baby blue.

I keep thinking about a conversation I had with Bekka during my visit to Calgary. I was telling her how guys in Edmonton don’t fascinate me at all. I go on dates cause it’s fun to chat. But I don’t go to find any new love. She says that she sees me going on a business trip of some sort and just falling in love with someone in a bigger city. Someone that can keep up with my mind and hobbies. My last boyfriend even thought that my designing thing was a joke. Can you believe that. That’s why I want to just do everything alone right now. I love being completely free of judgment.

Another reason why what Bekka said has been with me all day.. meeting someone from another city would mean that I would potentially have to move out of Edmonton. It makes sense. My clothing designs are a little too fancy for Edmonton. I need to be with people that like to be as elaborate as I am. I love Edmonton to pieces don’t get me wrong. Just if I want to design to the best of my ability I would have to go elsewhere to do that.

I think a good goal for me is to build up to travel to a few places for work just to get to know some of the industry I wish to be in. And then build up my website properly to get these kinds of people to know me. Doing everything through the internet for the right target market is key. And still just stay in Edmonton. Home is where the heart is, yes.

Halloween outfit samples. These are being photographed soon, I can’t wait. Then they will be sold. If there is interest please contact me. These are available the first week of October.

They came out nice =) I wish I had proper bodyforms for corsets, they look kinda strange on stiff bodyforms, oh wells.
