The flapper dress

2010-03-30T16:11:00.001-07:00

I finally took my time on making this dress. Endless design ideas, it all started with the fabric. I got the fabric from haight street. Toffee carmel colored, grabbed it. Saw my lace lying around and decided to pair it with a gauze like cotton. Taking time to do this dress made me realize it is key to take time for each garment with love! And you'll be happy in the end =)

RANDOM ACTS OF LAZINESS

2010-01-10T23:29:00.000-08:00

I never would have said this so bluntly but I am a lazy bum! Everyone loves to occasionally have a day where you just wont have to worry or think that you have to do something in order to get through the day. Suprisingly I had lots of errands to run for this internship application I am trying to get at Old Navy. With my mind preoccupied about being so scared, I kept making excuses up as to why I didn't get to it. Now and then I feel the sudden urge to do something for it in order make the application a success. I am so nervous! Now I finally got the edits sent in to my teacher, and waiting for results. Results doesnt = always getting it right the first time. So I am awaiting for a response.

A good fortune cookie always told me "Use your abilities at this time to stay focused on your goal. You will succeed." Who knew sometimes a fortune cookie had to tell you that! Any way here is a screen shot of what I have been working on. Working with illustrator/flash/Photoshop makes me feel anxious to get this project over with. I have been procrastinating for the past week! I think I might have to make calls to my teacher to help me get in this internship! I am so nervous to grow up that I procrastinate because I'm scared. Wierd but I'll get over it.

Randomness nonsense. talk.

Blogging to me seems so centuries ago. 13 years old this is all I ever did. HTML, Website building and photoshopping. Looking back at blogging and writing seems so long ago--and yet here I am! No despair! I am here now! I use to think that blogging could either bring out the best in you--and drama! Seriously! If you get too open and personal it could make or break you.

Any who today I was watching Julie and Julia the movie! Delicious cooking I might say! Lately eating fast food was too much that I literally can't fit in my pants(Lots of pants!) . Now you might say well you're too skinney so its ok to gain weight! Yeah healthy weight gain! Not fast food weight gain! But to be honest I love eating so much--Its like I've invested money in it! hah.

I really want to learn how to cook now. For the sake of health, and for the sake of taste buds.
