I am so unbelievably excited to get out of Illinois for a bit and visit beautiful South Carolina. Where I will be sipping fruity drinks on sandy beaches, taking many (many, many, many) pictures of beautiful homes and light houses, and eating delicious sea food (NOT the kind I mentioned here).

.......I really hope people who live in areas like this do not take it for granted....

I am lucky enough that my husbands family is from the East coast so I get to spend most holidays near the beach. Sigh. The places you will move just to make money. Damn responsibility.

Post 63: midwest seafood y dress numero uno (peek)

So this is how i do seafood in the midwest....

I am a firm believer that all canned food is poison, but I indulged in some smoked (canned) oysters today and I had to capture the moment...

Aaaanywho the reason I am posting in the first place is to give you a peek at this incomplete dress I am working on (with my lovely NEW dressform!). It is a bit wrinkled and pinned to the dress form (and the bottom is not close to finished so i left it out sorta...). I have almost finished this one this evening but I don't have good light and truth be told I am far to lazy to take any more pictures at the moment.....

And this is a the top detail (with flash, yuck)...I will proooobably finish it up tomorrow and post more pics tomorrow night and hoooopefully it turns out beautiful...hopefully.

Post 62: Oooh meee.

Oooh me. So I have obviously been terrible keeping up with my "internetin'" the last week. I got my dress form Thursday afternoon and that is where all of my free time has been going. I love it. I have actually made a few dresses. None of them which are completely finished due to the fact i need to add zippers and buttons and such. I am hoping to be finished with them by the end of the week! Which looks pretty promising unless I get bored with one and decide to start up something else...hehe. Anyways with that said I am sorry I have been such a slacker!! Buuuut I should get some pics posted of my creations soon...very soon...maybe later today.

With that said here are some more lovely things I want from Etsy:

According to UPS my dress form should be arriving today....and I'm tired of waiting (even though I just purchased it on Saturday). Bah. Whyyyyy must I be so impatient?? It is bad. Real bad. I could not hardly sleep last night due to all of my excitement....a lot like Christmas...ha. I'm pitiful.
