Cleaning House!

I’ve decided the next time I go to my mom’s, I’m doing a little more housecleaning. I have some articles of clothing that are nearly new, and I can’t wear there any longer, nor do I plan on getting big enough to wear them again later. One is a fairly cute dress, white with huge pink flowers on it, that I wore once, took in at the sides, and never wore again. I was looking for a picture of it in my album, but the only picture I could find from that day is from the neck up so you can’t see it. I’ll pick the new seams out of it and list it on eBay.

There’s also a white trash prom dress, as I like to call it, that has never been worn. Its leopard print with a black rose lace overlay. Strapless, actually kind of cute, but way too big now and where would I wear it anyway? Add in a really cute skirt that I love and my grey coat I sewed the year before last, and there’s four items of clothing that will never again rest of my body. I love that coat, but it looks worse then a paper bag on me now. That one I will list on Etsy since its handmade. Maybe I can get $50 out of it. That’d be nice.

I got my package from Torrid today in the mail, and remember how I was worried the romper wouldn’t fit since it said to order one size larger then normal because it runs small? It fits fine. Not very pretty, but it fits, and its super comfortable too. That’s pretty much a win in my book. The black dress… eh. It fits. But it has this weird drape to it I don’t like. It’d be great for wearing to a club, if I ever went to clubs. Still though, it was only like $15. so I’m not too disappointed. The scarf? I love the scarf. Its bright and colorful and super cute, and perfect for Fall. Very glad I spent the $4. on it.

I listed the three patterns I made on Etsy tonight as well. Figure if they can make me a couple dollars that’d be great. I’m also thinking about making a caterpillar bracelet again, this time with a proper closure. I have the one I made that turned out really well but its a bitch to put on and take off. Maybe if I’m really ambitious I’ll take a bunch of pictures and make a tutorial for how to make one. I ordered a few new clasps so should have one that will work well for that. So many ideas lately!

I also did some work on my self-portrait assignment tonight. Took three photos that I actually liked, and have been stuck on a dark look for some reason. Here are the possible contenders.

The first one, in color.

Number one again but it B&W.

The other one, also in B&W.

I’m also going to take some more outside once the sun comes up this morning. Pretty much plan to take photos until I get one I love… lol. I love the one I have up on the top right of this page, but I really think I need a better one.
