this is my very first tattoo I went to the Seattle Tattoo Expo and ended up with this beautiful work of art. I had the space needle and the roots drawn out but my artist added the clouds and rain. I absolutely LOVE it and get complimented and get asked to take pictures of it all the time. Even tho I didn't grow up in Seattle it's always felt like home to me. I moved there at 17..as an awkward teenager and didn't know who I was as a person. I grew into myself there.

recently broke up with my deadbeat, violent, possessive ex-fiance and decided it was time for a change, so I did my hair.
put too much blue in the toner for my bangs and they turned blue. I actually like it, too bad work will prolly have a cow. thankfully it'll fade pretty fast. but for now it looks awesome!

I bleached my bangs and got some blonde clip in extensions! I was going for a Hayley Williams look (only shorter)

I saw this candy corn hat in the knitted section and I don't knit but I knew I could make it crocheted and I thought it would look cute as a long elfish hat as well so I quickly got to work

and here's the finished product 







and in case you don't get my topic name:

I've made a lot of hats lately (I'm going to have a booth in a festival next august) and wanted to share some with you guys.
I plan on making a lot of hats and scarves for the festival and maybe a few other things but not really sure what else.


my hats (and a few scarves) as modeled by my lovely manikin Molly (woo for being a cosmetology student   )






this is one of my favorites












this one is intended for younger kids


on me this hat doesn't look as stretched out (my manikin has more hair and thicker hair than I do)






you can't really tell but this hat is sparkly!




thanks for looking
C&C appreciated

ohmaigoodness!  soo usps can suck it..they apparantly don't know how to knock! bc I just happened to look at the usps track number (at about 8:30) to see that my package has been here since 4 (which is about the time I got back home from school and running errands) and so my bf and I assume that the package must be in the mail box..well we open the door and what do you know there's my package..ugh.

casstasstrophie thank you SOOO very much for such an awesome package 

right now I'm working on crocheting a romper. I'm working on it from the bottom up and I'm a little over half way done with the shorts part. it's striped in different colors of blue and purple. ok so now my question.. I don't know how I want to do the top part. I want it to look chic and not childish. AND I'm busty so I want to be able to get it on and off easily. and I don't have a zipper and would prefer not to use one but might consider it.
something cute and chic like Katy Perry. straps are a must. and also what kind of shoes do you wear with something like this? (w/o heels )

at work we occasionally have these things called shippers (shelves to display products) and when we're finished with them they just get thrown away. well usually they are cardboard so we put them through the compactor and they get recycled but this one was plastic and very similar to the plastic shelves you'd buy at a store. well the boss said to throw them out and my friend Jess (who I work with) asked if she could give it to someone, he said he didn't care as long as she got rid of it. so she gave it to me I knew as soon as I saw it that it had to go in my craft room
but it started out looking like this:


which is not terrible but it doesn't at all fit the theme of my craft room. so I bought some "Watermelon" spray paint and my lovely wonderful boyfriend painted it for me.

here it is all pink (pre-stickers):

with my helper kitty (he didn't get to help with the actual painting of this bc he's not allowed outside but he watched from the back door with a very concerned look on his face)

AND Hello Kitty stickers! (and a few Keropi for good measure   )

teaser pic!

I recently decided to turn our spare bedroom into my craft room! I've been working hard on it for like a month now and while it's still not completely finished it's done enough to take pictures lol.
Befores:
ugly early 90's wall yuck 

it did come with some neat particle board already on the wall

the closet door that doesn't shut all the way

helper kitteh



starting to paint:



  Micah must have stepped in some paint!

my bf helping out  (btw no he's not bleeding that's just the shirt he uses when he dyes my hair lol)



afters:
helper kitty yet again lol. and my poor neglected guitars

I modge podged some construction paper and stickers to the existing light switch cover


I haven't even gone through all my yarn yet!





the hello kitty I won at GameWorks in Seattle and the Transformers tin I bought at work for $1.25..doesn't fit my theme but I <3 Transformers and you can't beat that price lol. it houses my push pins 

I have lots of stuffed animals..these are just the ones who fit the color scheme


the rug that's in front of my chair

my chair (and a bear that doesn't fit the color scheme but he's too cute 


now I just need to finish sorting through my yarn, get some curtain rods and buy some Hello Kitty fabric to make into curtains. I also would like a small desk for my sewing machine but I don't think I'll find anything that will fit in that room.
