My room is a black hole.

I'm truly convinced it is. It has managed to gobble up my blog scheduler, my camera card reader, my crochet hook I use to make granny squares, all of my written notes for crochet/knitting lessons, numerous socks, etc. I'm sure once I compete in my least favorite Olympic event 'The cleaning of the room', I'll find all these things.

Well, August is now upon us, how was everyone's July? Mine was great. I'll have to recap eventually.
I'm slowly trudging through the fun part of remembering I have school later this month, and am cramming as much hanging out time, and crafting time as I can.

Here, have a hat I'm working on!

I'll toy with the idea of teaser images for some of the new shop items I have planned once I work on prototypes and the like.
I'm also toying with the idea of switching shop sites. The etsy fees I have to pay for not selling diddly squat are a wee bit disheartening. Any suggestions? I was thinking Shopenvy.

-blows away the dust-

If you can't read the crappy handwriting, it says:

"So, I've been really busy sewing up cosplay for San Diego Comic-Con(July 11-July 15)

Just thought I would let you know!!

I'll be posting pictures via twitter/instagram, so feel free to check em out!

Will I see any of you at Comic-Con?"

So. Much. Sewing. -goes back into the fray-

Spinning in circles

Well, I finished my circle skirt.
I made it in an evening, and I love it to bits and pieces.
After I agonized for a while, I decided the best way for you all to see it would be on me.
Why did I agonize? I've got the weirdest self-esteem ever. I'm perfectly content with slaving over a costume to wear to a convention, and have a bunch of photos taken of me, but when it comes to 'normal' photos, I'm suddenly shy. It's the strangest thing ever.

I have on my 2012 goals list 'Increase my self-confidence' Well, where better a place to do so than on my blog? A friend of mine said I seem to be more confident in things of my own making, so there's a start. I have an excuse to make more cute clothes for myself, and possibly show off some of my costumes from this years convention!

Well, without further ado, my circle skirt.

Okay, I'll get better photos of it when I find a nicer blouse, but excited, and quite content with this one so-far.
