dress form!!!!

My dress form came in the mail today!
I ended up getting the "Uniquely You" after doing some research and deciding what i'll be using it for most.
Of course i'd still love to get a "cute" one some day, to showcase costumes etc... but for now this is functional!
and by functional i mean i can now make myself costumes and clothes!
well, almost....the thing is, with a "uniquely you" dress form you have to fit the cover, seen below, to yourself and then you squeeze and squish it onto this foam core.
and wala! you have a dress form custom made to match your body!
so until i have someone to come and help me fit it to myself i won't be able to actually use it.
but i'm still thrilled that it's here!

Now i just have to think of something to name her....

Sharing

Like my new apron?! my mommy got it for me! :) I have wanted an apron for some time now, keep thinking I'll make one for myself but.....
well I guess it's just not a priority in my life at the moment.
But now I have one! Yeah! Just thought I'd share.
P.S. I know you love the bag of Tostitos in the background too, wink wink, lol I'm so "professional"!

drooling!!!

OK, so this hat!!! I am in love.... so wishing I had $745 of fun money right now and could actually justify spending it on this hat. :) simply lovely! ahhhh....sigh.

bored

Wishing my bed looked somewhat more like this one...
only with some more colors thrown in. Wishing my whole house could be "springy"! alas it takes time which I really don't have right now. at least not for home shopping...
well, just thought I'd share.

new blog!

Hey, I just figured out how to post pictures to my other blog!
For those of you who don't already know I had started another blog to devote solely to costumes but couldn't figure out the picture thing.
So I have it up and running now, come visit!
