POSTED ON 07-07-07 AT 0700 HOURS!!!!!!!

Its supposed to be an incredibly lucky day today so play the horses, hit a casino or just buy a lotto ticket cause you never know...

I also heard its a very deeply meditative day so Ill be "meditating" on some new shoes at the mall today.
Id wait on the marriage thing though, marry for love not a lucky #...

Im officially an Assistant Technical Designer for Charming Shoppes INC!!!!!

*dusts off shoulder*
Oh and did I mention I got an FAT salary increase????

And Im house-sitting for my mom while she's on vacation and DAMN her boyfriend is CAPTAIN ASSHOLE...and with his behavior today I assume he's trying to get promoted...

Just wanted to let ya know!

What I been up to:

- Got a new job with a large mail order clothing chain and will be moving into the creative dept! (YIPPEE!!! )

- Planning a birthday for my twins! THEY TURN 5 ON THE 26th!!
5?!? tahts like half a decade... AND THEY START SCHOOL IN AUG... mah babehs are all grown up!!!

- Completing inventory for the launch of my website!!!! I AM HAVING TROUBLE FOCUSING MY AESTHETIC. damn my eclectic taste. Im mostly focusing on fall accesories right now + I have ordered ALL new labels and will show them off as soon as they're in my hot little hands.

- Fighting a flu bug. All this running around has short-circuited my immune system.
*sigh*...getting sick in the summer is so wrong.


Still loving you guys and Ill post something purty asap

After completeing those dresses I need a lil break.
During this time Ill just be drawing and knitting and probably drawing some more.
I forget how nice it is to just sketch something without it having to become something else.
SO REFRESHING!!

Anyone have any sketch/fanart (yes, I do it) ideas for me?
Everything ive been producing lately is HIGHLY ROMANTICAL.
I dunno where its coming from...
guess Im just a lover at heart.

"Ok ... its ok," I told myself. "I've serged through entire sleeves before and managed to salvage them. I can fix this."

On saturday I mortally wounded the dress I have been SLAVING over for almost a month. I had been trimming a seam unnecessarily and in my haste cut right through 2 layers of fabric and the chiffon top layer.
...
Cool and collected *cause imma pro *I tried to patch it.
BUT IT TOTALLY LOOKED LIKE CRAP!!!! O_O
The slice was more like a gash and so I knew it wasnt going to be easily repairable... but I had to keep hope alive...
for my cousin...
and for ALLLLL the hours I put into that damn thing.
My mother was going to pay to send the dresses but needed to wait till she got paid so I figured I had some time to fix things.
My cousin called asking about the dress yesterday and I lied saying it was "great" cause I had an appointment today with a great friend/mentor who I thought could fix the problem.
My friend gave some great advice but since there isnt anymore chiffon or silk, all of her ideas revolved around completely altering the design.

Since there's no time anyway (my cousin needed the dress by wed ) Im gonna hafta just come clean to her so she can at least spend this weekend shopping for a dress. I will send her the matching little girls dress and reimburse her the money for the materials as well. *sigh*

*me= feels like crap*
