my time has been inhabited

by making an array of non-related items.
I bought clay and sculpted Alice Liddell and the Cheshire cat. I sewed her a dress and she's all painted and I gave Cheshire-puss golden whiskers. I want to build a wooden box and create a scene in it. a while ago, whilst in a field at night, I collected a few stray twigs. They are going to be holding the Cheshire cat up. Alice shall be sitting on the ground holding a piece of mushroom, and the flowers will be laughing at her. It will be splendid. I'm so excited.
I also made a painting. I'll post pictures up later.

the thrift store missed me.


Yesterday i woke up early and I really, really wanted to go thrifting, being as I haven't in a few months. When I arrived I was so thrilled. You must understand what I go through. I wear a nine and a half to a size ten shoe, and I can never, ever, find shoes at thrift stores that are my size. well. not only did they have my size, but there were these beautiful, lace-up, black velvet, Victorian silhouetted heels that had gold interlacing on the sides. I saw them and froze, they were magnificent! And when I checked the size I was of course prepared to set these beauties down due to my shoe size, but behold! They were a size nine and a half!!!! I was thrilled!!! I found other shoes as well, some beautiful Nine West leather, gold, and a pair of creme coloured leather heels with lavender and mauve snake skin detailing. They are all quite attractive, I must say.
So, after I raided and conquered the zone of shoes, I went to where the sweaters and jackets are kept. I found this wonderful monotone,knit wool sweater with leather detailing. I loved it at once. And I've been looking for a denim jacket for the longest time and I finally found one! Vintage Levi Jeans Denim jacket for three dollars. I was ecstatic. I grabbed both the sweater and jacket and ventured to the wall covered with bags. You see, I have an eye for spotting good leather. And by good, I obviously mean superb. I once found an Hobo International, vintage, over sized tote bag and scored it for only four dollars. Well, I found a beautiful little leather purse with some light rouching on the flap and I picked it up. This was quite a victorious day, twas indeed.

moleskine's sewn

On Tuesday I went to Barnes and Noble and bought myself some MOLESKINE journals. I decided to sew on them, I might just buy more to do the very same. They came out quite lush, and I must say, i adore the outcome of them both.

two thousand nine.















Ohh, a new year, how lovely! First off, I'd like to mention how wonderful my night was, honestly, it was perfect. The night started at around seven-o-clock and whilst we ventured to Elia's house, I realized I should call the parentals and let them know I was spending the night. When we arrived at the house, only a few people were there. So we prepared the alcohol and other paraphernalia and decided that we should prepare a few drinks while we were at it. We mixed orange juice and sky vodka and the few of us had a drink. More people arrived, you see, we usually get a variety of "randoms" as we like to call them. We call them "randoms" because we won't see these unnamed people in quite a long time, and then when word get's out that we'll be having a close-knit get-together, they all tend to wind up at out little hob-nob. Thankfully, no randoms made an appearance on this festive night of a brand new year. We went to patio and broke out the hookah and put on some lovely tunes that were old favorites of ours. We ranted on about nothing and everything. Drank a few bears, had a few laughs, watched the ball drop, talked some more, drank some more, smoked some more, and fell asleep to wanke up the next morning hungover, still tired, and hungry. It was a beautiful night and we wanted sustenants. We decided to go to a diner called Bogart's and we all ordered the same thing. 2 eggs, a bagel, and home-fries. for four dollars, that sounded like a brilliant idea. We ate, laughed some more, told stories of the night before to peple who didn't remember and then I went home. I went home and fell asleep. It was a delightful New Years Eve and a delightful New Years Day.
Till next time,
Adieu.
