tweaks and fiddling

Playing with the code on this page... adding some colour links, and fiddling with the font size (too small?), making this template a little more my own.

I found a great old natural leather jacket for $2 at an alley/yard sale this morning. I've always wanted to play with leather, do some distressing and dyeing to see what happens. Maybe I'll start to play and make a real leather corset [a girl must dream big] Here's a pic of me last Hallowe'en in my cotton muslin corset I made all by myself!



Of course, the insane girl that I am, I hadn't sewn anything in years, and the first project I actually jump into is a full on corset! But it worked (yay! and Stinky likes it too...lol), and I now have a pattern that fits me.

The pickings were somewhat slim at the yard sale, but Stinky found a great big glass jar (the kind used in making home-brew wine)... I sense a giant "think in jar" [EDIT should read "thing in jar" - funny typo!] coming soon... :D

A wee quick little blog break during my super-hectic-deadline-driven Friday. (soon I will go home and there will be beer. yes, beer. amen!)

the Mag Swap Flickr Group is buzzing with all the neat-o goodies being delivered! I can hardly wait to see what is en route to me from Portugal! My package was delivered from Vancouver to Lisboa in 7 days!! YAY super speedy posties! It was expected to take two weeks. I forgot to take pictures of what I sent, but my swap buddy will post some shots when her camera gets all charged up!

Thanks again Cotton Strudel for the wicked organamalization! You rock!
