.qui illustrated

a while back, i came across this great artist. i was so impressed with his skills that i asked him to do something for me to use on my blog. and this is what he sent me! i am so in love with this! as soon as i have the time, i am going to change my blog around and add this as my header. thanks again Justin!!

EDITED......

as tired as i am and as early as i have to be up, i really should be sleep but something won't let me rest. the last few nights, i've found myself thinking more and more about my clothes. i've realized a few things and came to a few conclusions. i've come to realize that i am a little too hard on myself. i really don't give myself enough credit for the clothes that i make. i mean, i'v had NO school training, and i don't use patterns. one day i asked for a sewing machine and got one for xmas that same year. i got some fabric and looked very closely at a shirt that i loved and figured out how it was made. i can look at a garment and tell you how many pieces it took to make it and sometimes i can put something together in just a few short hours with no flaws! so why am i my own worse critic? i've even thought about ending this blog because i think it lacks what people are interested in. with the kind of month i've had, it could be just stress taking over. so i wish everyone who reads this, HAPPY HOLIDAYS AND PLEASE BE SAFE!

.business

i apologize for my absence. between being slightly addicted to the sims2, making clothes, and daycare, i've had very little time to do anything i really want.

i caught a lot of words Thursday just off the shirt i had on. i heard everything from "thats a God given talent" to "don't be mad when you realize how much money you could be making". i never really looked at my clothes that way. sure i do want to have my own boutique in the near future but i never realized that people loved the simple things i make for myself! i decided to take the advice i was given when i received a phone call from my future brother-in-law. something about what he said got to me. now i'm working on a few things and putting a price on it as a test trial. if it works out, looks like i'll be selling my creations.

i shall return with pictures!
