There hasn't really been anyhting much worth saying lately, but I figured I should say at least something... for the hell of it.

First, a belated happy birthday to shanasuer! I miss her very, very much, and would love to hear from anyone with an update on her ( Read more... )

I am seriously in the mood for some soft, sensual, hedonistic indulgence today...
To that end, I give you: Octopus Pillows!

I think I have found my inspiration for a winter project... ;)

Now everyone is back from Pennsic and sharing their tales, and I'm really wanting to go dress up and have fun, too.

I've actually never had my hair all done up in curls in a soft tumbled pile on top of my head, and that's what I had done this morning ( Read more... )

Since my health is getting better, and the wedding is almost over, my mind is turning to the next things to worry about. Money seems to be foremost of these, since sometime in the next month or so I hope to try again for a loan to consolidate my remaining debt. I've done very well over the past 6 months, having only used a credit card once, and ( Read more... )
