It's been quite some time since I've posted a journal to dA. For that I am sorry, but alas, I need your help...in fact, Canada needs your help.

Many of you may have participated in the anti-SOPA movement recently, and for that I'm sure everyone was greatful to see it take it's hits. Now Canada is having SOPA-like problems of it's own. I'm asking everyone who reads this to please check out the facebook page for plenty more information about this bill...[link]

If you are aware of what this is, please make sure you sign the petitions!

All it takes is a few clicks to do your part, so please, help Canada!

Thanks everyone!

Opposite Sex Friends?

Journal Entry: Tue Jan 25, 2011, 1:23 AM


Something is on my mind, and I want to know how other feel on the subject. I've been looking it up and there are a vast amount of different opinions on the subject. So I have a few questions for all of you out there reading this.

Honest answers are most appreciated, I'm certainly not going to judge or get angry about them. Afterall, I'm the one who asked.

Ok here we go.

Do you feel that people who are in a relationship/marriage can have friends of the opposite sex?
How would you feel if your significant other (boyfriend/girlfriend/husband/wife) had a friend of the opposite sex?
Would you forbid your significant other from having opposite sex friends?
If you let them have opposite sex friends would you lay out ground rules? Or would you just let them do as they please?
Would you worry about friendship turning into something more?
How would you feel if your significant other forbid you from having opposite sex friends?
What would you do about it?

I'd love to hear others opinions, honest opinions, on this subject.
Please feel free to say what's on your mind, I'm interested.

October Strikes Again

Journal Entry: Tue Oct 12, 2010, 4:57 PM


I had a silly, I guess, theory that bad things seem to happen in October. Little as they may be, they happen in October. For me anyways. This year, of course there's been the usual little things but the big one right now...my serger. My precious serger...One of the tension dials seems to be on outs. What does this mean? One little tension dial being out? It means I can't really use the serger.

One Saturday night I used it to make a new skirt (which I have yet to take photos of) then it had a little break for our Thanksgiving on Sunday since my sister came home (my sewing room is also the spare bedroom). One Monday I had high hopes of a new project (which I wont' bother talking about since it'll just erk me more knowing I can't do anything about it) and the stitching just didn't look right. I re-threaded (and re-threaded) and nothing seemed to change. I adjusted the dials. Nothing, I got it to the best I could, but the one tension dial just doesn't seem to do anything. No matter what setting it is at, it stays the same. When I pull the thread through it I can even feel that it's not doing anything at all +sigh+

I'll be going to the "city" (not a huge city, just how I like it =P) on Thursday...whether they can fix it that day (or at all) I don't know yet. So any projects that I had hoped to quickly finish in time for last minute Halloween sales are pretty much shot down in flames. I can't express my disappointment. There were a few things I wanted to get out for Halloween costumes...I guess that's life. If it does turn out that it's going to be a few weeks or so until it's ready, I may just drive up to a different little city and buy another one. Something I really didn't want to have to do...ugh...but I must have it for at least a few days before Halloween. Going with a disappointing costume for Halloween, to me, would be devastating...

Yes, I know to everything "things could be a lot worse", but for me that serger has been a big part of life, so it makes me sad that it's on outs. Without a serger, I cannot work. No work, no money, no car (since now I need to buy one), no paying for necessities, and most importantly means I can't sew...Not being able to sew is already driving me insane and it's only been a day. It's one thing when I'm not feeling it, but to just not be able to sew +sigh+ awful.

That's my update.
No serger...Possibly no new projects for a while =S

Hope everyone is well, and preparing for Halloween ahead.

"The Time Has Come." The Walrus Said...

My vacation begins tomorrow and I'm nervously excited. My first ever vacation. I'm all packed up and just have to finish up a hoodie I started for my trip. I thought something new to keep me warm would be nice ^_^

One of my pieces in my etsy shop was recently featured on the front page!!! I checked my email beforehand, then about 20 minutes later I had a dozen emails and many sales. I couldn't believe it! Either way, it couldn't have come at a better time :) I'll go off on my vacation feeling great about that, and having that extra bit of cash to spend, never a bad thing.

On another note, I'm still excited about halloween...Sadly, my pumpkin patch was unsuccessful. Lots of flowers but none of the little bulbs went anywhere. I'm trying not to be too sad about it, it was a great learning experience and I know a lot of good tips for next years crop and how to improve things. :pumpkin: So store bought pumpkins it is for me!

...I also decided I'm going to grow sunflowers next year along with those pumpkins =P

Anyways...

So before I run off and work on the many things I'd like to finish up before I leave on holiday, I just want to send a big thanks to everyone who helped me to get where I am, from simple watchers to people who purchase from my shop :) You are all great and I couldn't be more thankful.

Planes, Trains, and happy. Yes.

Journal Entry: Sat Jul 24, 2010, 6:49 PM


Ahh, July is almost over...It actually went by pretty damned fast. I want August to go by as quickly..and at the same time I dont, because that just means it's that much closer to winter. Then at the same time, its also that much closer to September, and then Halloween. Oh Halloween, how I love thee. hah.

In happy awesome news, I book my first vacation :D Yes, finally this young lass will have some travel stories ^_^ In September I'll be going to Niagara Falls +happy dance+ Yes! I'll be taking my frist ever trip, first plane ride, and most excitedly, my first train ride. Finally, I shall have a story with a train to tell my Gramma.

I've been looking at lots of photos of Niagara Falls, lots of Clifton Hill...so tacky..I look forward to the tacky touristness :D I know there are three things that are absolute musts, but of course there are a great many awesome things to see (or so I think) :)

Oh yes, I'm taking my fella on the trip =P Forgot to mention that hah. It's his birthday around that time, so a big happy birthday for him :D I'm crazy excited, could ya tell? We'll even get a bit of time in Toronto when waiting for the train, both going to and coming back from Niagara falls. Not sure what to do with the time...other than take masses of photos of him around the train station, muahahaha ^_^ So any Toronto residents out there, what's there to do right around Union Station? Any fun little shops or anything we should check out? Hmm?

Good times ahead. I actually feel a bit guilty for feeling so happy when I know there's a great amount of unhappyness out there for some. Anyways...

Anyone else take/taking any exciting trips? Go on a train? Fly? :)
Hope everyone is well!

Cotton Candy

Journal Entry: Tue Jun 15, 2010, 5:09 PM


First and foremost, :glomp: a great big huge thank you again to all who voted for my instax photos in the spring contest...because of you I am now proudly going to recieve 15 packs of that wonderful film as well as a camera O.O Seriously, I don't know how to repay you all. :)

I just read that polaroid has the mini film out again...What cunts. Horning in on Fuji after they stopped production of all that. Polaroid....you suck. I will never buy a polaroid product again. No joke. If they are that stupid to have stopped production in the first place, they don't deserve the business now, after other companies see their is still people who love it and are smart enough to take it up. Yea. Ugh...I'll just shut up about that =P

So I no longer hate my user name XP Odd events and things going on. It's weird how things happen really, how they work out. heh..Anyways, that's life I suppose. Crazy daisy.

I don't really remember where my thoughts were going now...Distracted.

Hope everyone is doing well, enjoying the summer weather, going to fairs and such. I really want some cotton candy.

Fin.

Themes & Dreams

Journal Entry: Sat May 8, 2010, 12:26 AM


Call me silly, but I want to have a Halloween in May day =P Dress up, decorate, eat carmel corn and watch Halloween shows. Who wants to join me? :giggle: No, but really I want to have a random theme day, though I cant decide which would be the best? A day of classic monsters could be interest, watch the old monster flicks, dress in monster costumes, and a great many halloween decorations would work with the subject. Mmhmm...Ahhh my mind is rushing around silly ideas like that lately =P Silly considering it would be a mere party of one...anyone wanna join me? hehehe. Classic monsters, circus, 50s rock n' roll, 60s psychedelic, tea party, and halloween themes I think have to be my favorite.

...why am I thinking about that? hah..

I'm on a quest. Rather two quests to begin with.

Quest one. A simple, but cute, pair of black non-high heeled mary jane shoes. Yessir. I do have my old pair, but they're more like slippers and are pretty busted up these days. So alas, new ones I must find. I've checked out ebay, and there's nothing that screams cute but simple awesomeness and isn't rediculously priced. This is one of those times where I actually need to go to shoe places >.> even though I hate shopping at actual stores XP

Quest two. Black and white wide striped swimsuit fabric......that hopefully costs less for shipping than the fabric itself -_- I did find the fabric I like, but the shipping is more than the fabric itself. With shipping it would be over 20$, which I guess isn't actually that bad considering it's a pretty specific fabric I'm looking for, it mostly just annoys me that thats over half shipping. Anyone out there have some black and white striped swimwear fabric they want to sell me? =P If I ever get into the city I'll have to try the fabric store. Oh how I dream of my awesome stripey swimsuit........haha

Oh well, I'll leave this at..this..heh. I'm a bit distracted by The Wallflower an still need to have my bath for the night. Tomorrow is our "community garage sale", which means if I want to go I'll have to wake up a tiny bit earlier than I normally have been. Speaking of garage sales..........I got some goodies today ^.^

Anyone pick up some nifty garage sale finds this year?
Anyone taking any exciting trips?

Talking To The Wall

Journal Entry: Fri Apr 16, 2010, 6:46 PM


Well the votes are up, and the top pick of my "would you buy one of my creations" poll ended with a majority of you not having money, as expected =P I know how that feels though U.U I keep spending mine on nonsense lately, and it doesn't help that things have been slow. Things have been a bit busy here lately, or at least I've been keeping fairly busy with things lately, so I haven't gotten as many creations done as I'd like :sigh:

Our house is still up for sale, but it's that time of year when people start to come back to the area, and we had a bit of interest so I guess we'll see...I just wish my Dad would actually listen to my suggestions about how to make the house more appealing. Naturally, he just doesn't get it. He doesn't understand that the house needs to be staged to sell. Yes, cleaning is good, but staging is also extremely important. I'll probably be buying new carpet for the stairs/landing, it'll be about $100, but it'll be that much more appealing (especially compaired to the busy blue carper that's there now) and in the long run, I'd hope it would make for a faster sale. I ripped up the carpet in my sewing room and I can't tell you how much I love the old painted hardwood underneith, very cottage shabby chic. Check it out in my blog if you care to see some photos and such :) My Dad hated it, but that's because he's stuck in 1985.

Anyone have any good tips for staging a house in the country? I want to go for a country cottage look, I feel it would suit the house best. People seem to love the main floor of our house, but it's the bedrooms that are lackluster...especially the master. My Dad just refuses to change anything -_- He just can't understand that when selling a house you have to put aside your personal tastes and neutralize the space. He has a horrid 1980's black and good bedroom set, I've almost convinced him to sell it and use some of the old furniture we have already (that's taking up too much space). It would better suit the house, and make space in some of the other parts of the house.....namely my sewing room +shakes fist+ This big giant dresser in there is almost useless to me, except for piling up my finished projects onto it. He complains about it not being sold, but does absolutely nothing about it.

You want to sell then you have to get off your ass and ask yourself WHY? Then do something about it. Honestly, a little bit of paint and taking up the carpet in his room (which not he WILL NOT do because he hates the floor in the sewing room -_- Guh U.U), getting rid of all the boxes of McFarlane toys (WTH?!), putting some crisp new looking bedding, and getting rid of this computer desk that is WAY too big for the space. Guess how much this stuff would cost to do? Nothing. In fact by selling his old bedroom set, he'd make a few bucks, more than enough to get new bedding. Moving stuff around doesn't cost a penny. Bah, now if only I had people to help me move these things without him =P If I could do it myself I would, but alas, I'm a weekling U.U

Ok, sorry about the rant, but it's been bothering me for ages now -_-

In other news, I got some new colors of serger thread, more subtle this time, but that can be a good thing. I have a plan for some new swimmies. I want to make and sell a few seperate swim pieces, that way buyers can mix and match whichever they like best :) It is afterall coming that time of year :)

Alice In Wonderland is finally playing at the nearby theater, so I may go to see it tomorrow. After all this time of people asking me if I've seen it yet =P I just might hehehe. So tonite I'll likely be making another 'Alice' piece or two ^.^

My sister has been talking lately about how one of her friends has offered to take her to Ontario, all she has to pay for is the plane ticket...and I find myself a little jealous. It's a bit sad that I've never been anywhere, and yet there's no where that I REALLY want to go (other than Japan). Then the other problem, who the hell would I even go with? I don't trust anyone nearly enough to travel with, except maybe Vicky.......she never has money though, heh..and she doesn't want to travel with me XP I don't want to go the clubs, and I absolutely can't stand shopping with her O.O Waiting outside a dressing room for half an our just so she can try on ONE (yes, only one) freakin' shirt is not my idea of a good time. Ugh, there's so many reasons for things...just...blah.

The Winnipeg Sun had a poster contest...up for grabs was a pair of meet and greet tickets to the upcoming Alice Cooper/Rob Zombie show. Naturally I gave it a shot =P They aren't exactly meet and greet worthy but I gave it my best (rushed best anyways XP) and again, if you go to my blog you can check out what I did :)

Well, perhaps I've ranted enough for the time being. I wrote more than I expected to, that's for sure o.O
Anyone doing anything exciting lately? Tell me a story about it ^.^ I love stories :)

Hope everyone is well!

Food & New Features

Journal Entry: Mon Mar 29, 2010, 4:33 PM


So the majority has voted and results are.....
Most of you enjoy eating choco chip cookies in the fall. Or something like that anyways =P Chocolate chip cookies blew all the other cookies away in my cookie poll, and fall took the lead as far as the seasons go. :) Don't you just love random polls? I know I do ^.^ Curiousity gets the better of me I suppose.

Talking about and looking at food is making me hungry U.U I still have to figure out what to make myself for dinner, and once again I have zero ideas..and my sister mentions perogies on the phone U.U Hunnnngrrrrry =P It's silly, I look at recipes all the time and yet I'm still stumped for what to make myself. Perhaps I'm too picky...........or I never have all the ingredients, I hate when that happens.

Anyone having any fun food adventures? Make some cupcakes? Eat some crazy tastey new food? Let me know :) I love to hear about that stuff.

Whats up for your spring holidays?

Drama Queens.

Journal Entry: Fri Mar 19, 2010, 1:25 PM


I'm sure I've mentioned before how I am really enjoying etsy, and I am, but as nice as it is there will always be the PMSing asshole drama queens on there. Honestly...Some twit actually messaged me with a photo of some OTHER SELLERS' skirt, and asked me if I could remake it. Tell me you wouldn't be insulted by this. Really. This ZERO FEEDBACK etsian got her shit in a knot because apparently someone isn't supposed to be offended by this, OH WAIT maybe it's because I used a naughty word (shit). Apparently in this word such profanity is just unfathamable. People like this are prime example of why I hate people.

Should this person happen to be a watcher here (I rather doubt it, since you guys are awesome ^.^) you should get off your high horse and actually think about what you just asked. No self respecting artist will remake someone elses work. That's just wrong >_< Naturally, because of my little naughty word and the fact that I as insulted (because you know I should be flattered by such things) she is apparently going to tell others she knows that shop here not to anymore. Clearly by my extreme slow sales, they can't be much of buyers anyways. If your one of these people and your reading this, follow your silly friend, be a little sheep. I didn't realize the word 'shit' got YOUR shit in such a knot.

Along with telling said people not to shop at my little stop, I'm apparently going to be reported to etsy admins. Running to Mommy and Daddy, I thought kids stopped doing that after they hit puberty? Silly me...Go on, go tell etsy admins that one of thier sellers who CLEARLY STATES in her policies she doesn't do custom orders refused her custom order and said a naughty word. Go do that, I'm sure everyone can have a big laugh. Really.

People like this really piss me off. If you know her, or are her let me know, I'd love to check out your so called art, and I know you can't really be any sort of artist. Any true artist would never ask another to remake someone elses work. Ever.

That's my rant for today.
Let me know if I'm entirely off base for saying "shit" in the modern world, or if I'm just being a big polly picky pants for being insulted by someone coming to me to remake SOMEONE ELSES shit. Yup, that's how I said it "someone elses shit". That's a totally rude saying isn't it? Guh, I want to rant more about this, but I'll stop for now.
Let me know, kids.

It's 3:51am and I'm thinking about going up to bed...but I'm not at all tired, as per usual. Naturally, like every night, I'm thinking too much about all sorts of nonsense (everything is nonsese really though, isn't it?) and...don't you ever wonder how many people are thinking the exact same thing that you are at the exact same moment your thinking it? We like to think our thoughts are original and our own, that no one could possibly be thinking them but..the sad fact of it is that we're not as unique and original as we believe. Everything has been done, seen, and thought before. Why do we do it? Life is silly...thoughts are nonsense...feelings are stupid.

I was thinking earlier about puddles...Do you remember when your a kid how amazing puddles were? It's funny how when your a kid little things like playing in puddles are so exciting. I wish anything were as exciting as how puddles were when I was little. I want those old feelings back, how the seasons seemed to last so long, a day was so long, and a week seemed like forever. I miss the crazy imaginative thoughts I used to think, the extra special nonsense...Ahh, life.

Life is nonsense really. You know..I don't even care that it is. People struggle to figure out why, but don't bother to just..do. Just forget trying to figure out why and do what you want.
What do you want to do before you die?

The weather is warming...and I've lost my thoughtfulness. Or rather I've lost my ability to put whats' going through my head to words that are at least somewhat understandable. There's so much I don't understand. So many thoughts I don't know what they mean, how to explain them, I can't put things to words. 4:07am

Yea, I don't know. I'm speaking nonsense. Then again, what isn't nonsense really?

What's New Pussycat? Whoa Whoa Whoaaa

Journal Entry: Mon Mar 8, 2010, 5:10 PM


Well, I have just bought some more diamond print cotton fabric, the same fabric I used on those sexy awesome diamondy bloomers that were ever so popular =P This time however I got an aqua blue with black. So expect some diamondy goodness around the end of the month or so ^.^ The shop I purchased the fabric from has an amazing assortment of cotton prints, nice quality stuff and they seem to be on sale quite often. Needless to say I will be shopping there again. I'd like to try out some more groovy prints for my bloomers, hopefully they will go over well :) What do you kids think? I want to make my bloomers a regular thing in my etsy shop, something you can find in there at all times :)

I'll be going to Brandon tomorrow both for fabric and to check out some laptops. Finally after all the years of saying I wanted a laptop, I will likely finally be getting one +does a little dance+. I'm still not sure which to go with, though I don't want to spend crazy lots on it, considering it's mostly just for chatting, and the pure convenience of being able to lay in bed and be lazy sometimes =P I suppose I'll find out when I get there tomorrow. I probably don't need to be fabric shopping, but I most certainly need to pick up some notions...especially elastic, pretty much out of the stuff right now.

Slowly filling my shop up again...hoping for a nice surge in sales again =P February was a great month, a big thanks to anyone who purchased or refered someone to my shop, it was definately appreciated :) I can't tell you how great it feels to make all those sales and to know so many people like my work :)

The weather is beautiful here...40F the past few days, it's lovely to get that feeling of spring. Hopefully we'll actually have a summer thing year. I most certainly am looking forward to wearing my dresses and skirts without having to wear pants under them =P

I entered my Alice In Ashland dress in the weekly contest at UsTrendy, so if your feeling extra nice or just want to help a gal out, please check it out and give me some 5 stars :) With $100 prize you can't blame me for trying =P After all, I am still just a struggling artist ^.^

I really can't thank everyone enough for their support, everything you guys do to help me is just awesome :) Whether your buying some awesome gear from my shop ;) or just :+fav:ing and commenting on my deviations, I really do appreciate it all so a great big :glomp: to everyone out there for doing it, it hasn't gone unnoticed :)

I still feel like making sweets...

First off, of course, a great big super duper awesome dandy THANK YOU!!!! :glomp: to :iconbunny128: for the subbie AND the for purchasing my Alice dress AND for the cute little drawing she's doing of me AND for just being an all around cool cat ^.^ Seriously, go check out her work and show some love :)

:thumb153878002: :thumb95013465: :thumb153953613: :thumb153246329:

I'm hungry.

Anyone have any good cookie suggestions? Nut free though, I'm deathly allergic. I have no idea what sort to make.

I'm lacking things to say at the moment, but I will most certainly be updating more later, with lots more features to come.

Thank you so much again to :iconbunny128: You rock, seriously.

How is the weather where everyone else lives?
Here...the sky just had a nice snow dump. Yup. It looks pretty and white, but naturally for anyone who has to drive it would be hellish. Weather says it's supposed to get cold again, booo -_- The nice weather was..well, nice while it lasted =P Hopefully by my birthday it will be at least kinda warm. Something about -20C on my birthday would be a nice change.

So unfotunately the movie I want to see is not playing at my nearest movie theater, so alas, I shall rent a movie or two instead. I know for sure I'm going to rent 500 Days Of Summer. I've been wanting to see it since I seen the ads for it in theaters. But what else to rent I'm not sure...there aren't often any movies that I'm O.O MUST SEE! +gets all giddy+, except for old ones. In the past few years I've lost interest in horror and action films, as well as many raunchy National Lampoon-type films, they all just get so repetitive. I suppose that's why my list of old favorites continues to grow.

Ooooh, how about some old movie suggestions ^.^
If you ever get a chance I highly recommend:
Life Begins At 17 (1958) - 1950's teenage drama at it's best. I love how cheesey films could be in those days, and this one is a great example. He digs this spoiled beauty queen, beauty queen has a boyfriend, so he goes for her loner sister to be closer to her, beauty queen and him meet up and confess love for eachother while he continues to see the loner chick to try and tell her, accidentally falls in love with loner girl...well, you get the idea. It's good stuff, so give it a chance.

Head (1968) - The Monkees film. Great title XP It's insane and really doesn't have much of a story at all, partly why I like it. It's all over the place, but the music (which they actually wrote most of it) is brilliantly awesome, and the film is overall psychedellically fundandy. A must see. Didn't like it he first time you watched it? Give it another chance, it gets better the more you see it ^.^

I'll leave it at those two for now, I don't want to flood you with movies you probably have no interest in seeing anyways XP But if you don't see them, your most certainly missing out.

Oh yes! Does anyone know where I can get some clear leader film? I can only seem to find white -_- Reading through The Animation Book it peaked my interest to make some trippy looking films with the clear leader film, or even the black leader film. Anyone? I hope it's not freakishly expensive U.U I'm really excited about trying some of the stuff I'm reading about. I started reading up on animation because I had a lot of interest in making a cheesey claymation film, but there's so much other good stuff I could do too ^.^ I'd love to make some zaney nonsensicle films one of these days. I mean real films though, not so much digital. Well, whatever haha. I'll get to setting myself up a little "set" and do some experimenting of these days.

Anyone here do any work with old style animation?
I'm sure there are all sorts on the internet, but I mean people who watch my work..anyone?

I wouldn't mind taking a class for animation, but naturally you don't get them around here. As I've said before I don't want to go to school for anything, but some sort of evening class for it would be lovely, even if just to use their equipment and materials =P

I should get a helium balloon for my birthday.......I don't believe I have ever had a helium balloon on my birthday. So sad.

I hope everyone is dandy and your weather is better than it is turning here :giggle:

Fin.
