I'm supposed to upload my new fanfic chapter today.....but I'm not as willing to write right now. I'm kinda sad that the moon's not out. Weird I know, but it's true. I'm content in my writing at night and when the moon is out. *sigh* I'll see what I can do though. I really like this chapter though. Lots of drama happening.

It's Wednesday and so far......

1)I'm apparently not a real Hispanic if I don't like tacitos.

2) Fought my sister over the last Fish Ice Cream (this if you're wonderin')

It has vanilla ice cream and red bean jelly....it's yummy.

3) Looked for the Cd's that can put the programs for my new camera onto the computer.....failed.

4) Thought about what's in store for next chapter update......cliffhangers.

5) going to go look for a new cellphone

RESULT OF DAY= fucking boring

Cause we all have someone like this in our lives

It's Been A While...

2010-07-06T16:22:00.000-07:00

It's been a while since I've written here, but that's because I've been discouraged with no comments. But I did say I would write to vent. So I'm here to do that (XD).
Here's what new with me so far since my last post:

1) Stopped sewing and started writing fanfiction. I've never written a story before and when I did I was hooked. I'm still writing fanfiction....which is on Kingdom Hearts.

2) I've graduated highschool and am now looking for college. I've applied to the Art Institute (my school choice since I was 13), but was rejected. I'm looking at other places now.

3) boyfriend less, but I like my solitude too.

4) I made a wire ring and painted....four t-shirts.

5)i got a new camera but have yet installed the programs on my computer to identify my camera.

And yeah...lol, not much huh? Well maybe I'll get back into writing in my blog despite the lack of an audience. But hey.....it beats twittering.

I've recently went on a trip with my class to Philidelphia and travel around to look at the murals....the murals were so lovely and

This was weird and I had an Elle magazine and saw these studed rimmed glasses and I walk into a thrift store called the Confusion and see these glasses...well I bought it and love wearing it and I even wore it with my 50's styled poodle-esque(not quite,but...)

Mind you I was in a group trolley ride and in the back...I loved hearing the background and history behind the reason for painting murals..yes, I'm an art geek...(^u^)b....I've even gotten into a manga recently (I hear obsession knocking) and I've fallen for the 50's styled hair and wear it often....the only updated news I have to offer is that my nephew and my sister went to Guatemala and I didn't sleep a wink when they left....now i have dark circles under my eyes...good thing I just bought sunglasses (ha!)

I've also started to make something else based on these 4 pictures:

I figured that I'd get 2 button down shirts and and cut a long strip form one and then the other cut off the collar and sew the long strip on the neck line...so I'd be able to tie it up...heh heh if it didn't make sense to you but works well in my head...^^'....i have to go do homework and I;ve been behind on my sewing...see ya next time...

Goldfrapp "Ride a White Horse

Went to the mall and saw an indoor concert and it was showing shawn kingston performing some songs....it was kinda cool.....I went into several stores and bought myself a pair of Betsey Joneson earrings (cute)....

signing autographs (line tooo long...)

Saw these at the mall and (old habits ) I wanted pictures....I am very used to the stares i get when I take photos....^///^I can;t help but smile at them...but this helps the inspiration flow harder.

Ok this isn't a tutorial per say...but this techinique (which may not be new to others) was a first for me....the skirt was supposed to have something stenciled which I haven't finished yet...I show it hear later...

I just recent;y joined drama club and will be making costumes...I get to have school hours and sew....it's great.

Ladyhawke-My Delirium

Going down memory lane and looking a t my old photos. I curse the ninites! OK I was young and I really didn't know much about trends then (who cares, I want Barbies and Sailor Moon). ut my mom put me in stuff that I can't believe I tolerated. I wore those big, puffy scrunches and I even wore the baby dress. 9which isn't all that bad considereing that it had big polka dots on it...). Then I skipped those years and reached the middle -school-tween(?) era..At this point I should have a idea of what cool clothing looks like...but of course i didn't. I wore a pony tail for most of those two years (may be different somewhere else). I once hada pair of army pants and wore it with this qhite t-shirt that had this fat ghetto guy making the west side with his fingers. (AAARRRHHHH!) I once got some glue-'em on little jewles and lued it onto a aweater that said "I heart Bad Boys" I still don't know if I have a certain style and there were times when I looked back and see the good and bad.

Listening to: Shiny Toy Guns- Don't Cry Out

Ok a while back I found these square glasses that are..how to explain...fake. You can see perfectly well. So as a little goof I wore it and tried to make myself look a little geeky....I wore a gray-ish t-shirt with a sad-lookin'-puppydog- eyes gnome (yes gnome) on my shirt which was a band t-shirt for the Devil Wears Prada...(look'em up) hair down and baggy jeans....now understand this that geek fashion is not exactly verywell known to me...I'm not saying I dress like the trendy, but it was new range for me...well to say that I had a kick wearing them around...here's a pix

as you can see I can't take pictures well........(/.\)

but oh well.

And recently I made a new tutorial at cutoutandkeep (go look!) it was inspired by a flapper's/20's headband...It came out well, but only problem is how-to wear it....

Listening to: Crystal Castles-she fell out & Heart-Baracuda

I got new shoe! They're moccasins and I've always wanted a pair...originally I'd like it with beadery, but my sister kept putting them down, saying "they look like a mexican beadery"...she refused to purchase them and I found these instead.....emenca cute~~~they were like putting clouds under your feet and walking on air....~~*sigh*~~

Listening to: Jefferson Airplanes- White Rabbit

Neuroticfish-the bomb

Everytime I see a nice dress, or a cute top, a bag, or a very chic store...I have this energy swelling inside me, that just wants to create. (^v^) I tell myself that I wouldn't be able to make something that beautiful...and five seconds later I start lecturing myself not to give up and continue! I went to the mall rercently and saw these. I always feel like I should be doing something (get me?) I made a skirt recently(here's the link....http://www.cutoutandkeep.net/projects/stretchy_skirt) and I was so happy that I wanted another one, but this one had no prints on it...I considered making my own, but I struggled with that and now it's lying in a corner wiith no shape yet made.....aaarrrgghhh(>.<)I even made a necklace out of the scraps...It was inspiration between something I saw in an old Teen Vogue and something similar at cutoutandkeep.net.

Tutorial: hat

2009-07-28T11:50:00.000-07:00

Listening to: Crystal Castles -courtship dating & untrust us

ok so to be honest I tried to make a beret, but that didn't turn out as expected...but I still like my hat and will make it into a tutorial...

You Need:

-Stretchy fabric (Like the black on mine)

-1 yard of fabric that wil be used to make the rest of the hat

-scissors

-chalk

-pins

-studs ( mine were from my very old belt)

-needle-nose pliers 4 using studs

1) grab that stretchy material and wrap it around your head and pin...make sure your comfortable.

2) Sew the band together but make sure that that it still folds open...so that you can add studs with ease...

3) time to work with the studs...alighn them the way you want them and use the needle nose pliers ....sorry no pix of me doin' so..

4) once done cut out a long strip from the 1 yard of fabric...

and wrap it inside the fold of the stretch fabric... and pin...and sew..

(5) when your done , it can probably stand on it's own..

(6) put it on the rest of the fabric and grab a chalk draw a circle of the size of the hat and cut

(7)turn the hat inside out and alighn the circle with the edges and pin and sew

It should be like this all around...kinda like a blanket stitch... when your done sewing...turn it inside out and try out a new hat.

Making a bijoux neckalce

2009-07-20T15:53:00.000-07:00

I saw this in a fashion mag once and later at a store...when I took a futher look i realized that this is easy to make and decided to do so!

You'll need:
-Felt

-bendable wire (I got mine at Walmart); or buy ready-made chain
-nose wire pliers
-ribbon
-studs (mine, were from my very old belt), but you don't have to have studs, but put buttons, beads,sequins, or sew-on jewels. Anything would do...
-paper and pencil and scissors

(of course, thread & needle)

Step one: fold the paper and make this pattern & cut

Step 2: grab that felt and fold in half & pin the pattern onto it and cut

Step 3: now that you have two of the same shape, one will hold the stuff & the other side gets put aside; it's time to put th studs (or whatever you want on the surface)

For anyone working on studs you need the pliers to push the little/sharp things to hold it into place ; like so

Step 4: Once done, grab the other half and pin (if you can) them together and sew it closed; NOTE! if you decide to have the ribbon attached first into the necklace, arrange it so before sewing...

Step 5: Get the bendable wire & cut it at a length (I measured mine buy finger-length)

Step 6: Push the wire through the sewn felt and then bend it back into the felt and then your done with that and can continue with the other side and thensome

Step 7: after stopping at ten, I grabbed my ribbon and put it through the hole and sew...after that adjust the length at you leisure and cut and sew the ends as well...repeat for the other side ribbon and your done!

just a random thought

Dull Times at the Mall

2009-06-28T17:26:00.000-07:00

~Sunday~

Listening to: DEATHGAZE - insult, kiss me
mood:exhausted

I was asked by my sister to go with her to find a pair of sandals she wanted....I have never been soo bored before...I went to a store with here and there was so much plaid..it's really getting played out. I watched my sister go into the dressing room after finding a cute dress (*note I say "cute" more times than a teenager saying "like" in their every sentence), SO I wait outside and I see these pre-teens, giggling and trying out really bad clothes...one come out with a t-shirt with a peace sign on it...and her friend tells her that the peace sign is "ssssooooo not, like, in fashion anymore. " That seriously depressed me. Nothing much else happened, I saw these ugly rainboots...I always bring my camera to the mall and take pictures of clothes I

saw and liked...there aren't that much pictures today...

there was this Heidi klum ad i saw and always like, you've probably seen it (look down)

<-I love this picure...I seriously want butterfly wings tattoed on my back. ... I really hate men who oggle women. My sister wore this white camisole with embroidered flowers. She really looked nice and it made her boobs pop, just a little. At first, she didn't mind. Ontil we went to the mall and every guy just stares directly at her chest. We passed a guy eating a sandwiche and held his mouth open and watch her passed by...so wrong. I ended up leaving the mall, giving guys death stares. My sister ended up buying a tank top and changing into it. AARRGG! That really ticks me off. Later we go eat, and by our table was the food pick up counter. This fat lady came in carring what looked like an ill girl. The men near us, were calling her fat-ass and mocked her. They even had the nerve to make fun of the sick child she was carring. To summerize how this ended, we ended up leaving. No appetite and awhole lota cursing being flicked back and forth by the group of guys and me and my sister. Even if no one ever reads this, or maybe someone glanced at it, or you like to read people's blogs, or whatever...I feel so much better putting it out there.
