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

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

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

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

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!
