Wow it's been a while since I posted in here.

Life is good, tiring but good.

I have gone from drawing to spending my creative ability on sewing lol.
Not too far of a stretch and I still get to draw and paint and have a commission currently doing just that.

House is good though I have jungle growth in the front yard.

Will be going to several conventions in the near future...



Jacon in Orlando Florida

Will be running a booth for my friends Wolfhome Adventuring Outfitters selling vintage kimono, cosplay, historical costuming and my doll clothing for BJD's.



Animazement in Raleigh NC

Will be there with same people.
More bjd clothing and accessories.



Akon in Dallas Texas

Again same people and same schtuff grin.




I am currently attached to the sewing machine for most of the day getting stock done and readied for the conventions.

I have another big one in Las Vegas in July.

I am headed this weekend to Ohiyucon to work the convention for friends.
I sew for them and I will be selling my work as well.
Yay!

So much going on and I never have time to update this site, gonna have to fix that soon.
One thing I plan on doing this year grin.

Got a new tower for my comp parts and will be working on upgrading even further.

Look for a website soon for my stuff.

I have a livejournal for the sewing teacupdreams.
I also will be working on my website which is www.teacupdreams , nothing up there currently as I have been working on getting stock ready for the con.

You will also be seeing more artwork here from me as I upload scraps, more original work and some things I am playing with working on.

Thanks to all who watch me, I know this place has been boring for a bit.

I so need to post here and in my myspace acct more often lol.
I bought a house, yup me a homeowner.
Kids if I can do it anyone can lol.
Kind of scary currently.
I am also going to be doing my own thing.
I am doing seamstress work currently and will be getting the business liscense for that.
Look for some things to be posted up here I will be doing Dollfie clothing, Gothic Lolita clothing, bellydance costuming, historical costuming and much more.
I will be taking some commissions we'll see how that goes.
Okay gotta go.
Working on 7 kimono's currently.

So much to do...

Mood: Stressed

I have'nt been on here in a while.
Lapse in faith in myself is part of that.
Lapse in being able to do anything but survive the other part.

Too much to go into.

Dragoncon is in less than two weeks away and I have to have three costumes ready, work a party for the con, sew 20 cloaks and 20 haori's, and tons of other stuff besides.

Met Shadosaber at a party the other night at a mutual friends and she did me a pic wheeeee.
Gotta post that soon.

Okay off here, missed ya all.

Oooh look at the perty colors...

Mood: relieved

Dioxazine purple.
It is one of the loveliest shades of purple I have ever seen.
It is my fav shade of purple and I buy it so I don't have to mix purple.
(they lie when they say that red and blue make purple, it does not make purple it makes this hideous shade of maroon ick.)
Imagine my surprise when doing laundry to see it on the white background of the dryer.
ALL of the dryer.
On the inside EVERYFRIKKINWHERE!
I was in a panic.
My roomates just bought that dryer.
I freaked.
Started crying as I thought initially it was ink which in that instance I literally would have faced the wrath of the roomies.
But no it's just watercolor.
My fav medium.
EVERYWHERE, oh I said that already.
OH MY GAWD!
So I start scrubbing, and scrubbing, and scrubbing.
Then I hear a car.
PANIC
close the dryer, grab the cleaning supplies and high tail it to my apt.
Wait, wait, wait...door opens and it's C.
"YOU gotta help me!"
Scene from Lucy sigh, 'what have you done?"
I show him the dryer and he shakes his head.
Hey it could happen to anyone!
(ok maybe just to me but let me have my flights of fancy)
So he scrubs the very back of the dryer as I can't get to it.
I was having issues enough with feeling like the witch out of hansel and gretel I was crawling almost all the way into the damn thing.
Oh and dioxazine purple?
It STAINS.
So not one cleanser but two one of which was soft scrub with bleach.
Much scrubbing.
I DID IT!!
Clean again phew.
Mental note...always check pockets.
