so, i went to a really cute boutique in shadyside to show my wares to the owner for their upcoming trunk show. things went really well and once we were about to get ready to go, a woman asked me if i made knits because she was a buyer for "bo-tiques" (that was how she said it and i thought it was really cute) in a few states and england (i really really badly want to sell in europe. the teenaged me would've been proud of me for that) and t.j.maxx (imagine her wardrobe and accessories!) and could she get my card and info. hopefully i will hear from her.

in other news:i got another treasury!

not much else to share at the moment. i do have some new things that i need to take photos of still. and of course, i have been updating the luxe.etsy.com shop just about daily. so pop by often.

pav and i

mwah!

i overdid it today. way overdid. i had dyeing to do for some custom things, got kind of lost doing what i was doing and had to run out to the farmer's market to pick something up and had to go without cleaning up, so i looked gross and was covered in dye. it is kind of funny to see people acting like they don't notice, though. the people that knew me found it hilarious, however. i am attempting to type while pavel is putting his weight on me in order to groom himself and i keep trying to scoot him off of my arm and he just readjusts. i am his headboard, i guess. so here is some of what i did, which is outside drying still, so don't come over tonite and steal it. i will be pissed...

look at this and
i got in an awesome treasury! everything is so gorgeous, i am so flattered to be included. sniff.

here is the almost finished tutorial for making a paper tape (like you use on packages, you have to wet it) mannequin or dressform. you have to put a tshirt underneath it because after the tape is dry, you will cut the form up the back and pop it off and then put it back together. all that you need is the tshirt, some tape to strap down the shirt well (i used clear packing tape) some water, a rag and a big roll of packaging tape. i want to build up the layers more and then once i cut it off, i will add a bit of upper arm and maybe a head. not sure yet. it is fun though. it takes quite a while to do. here are the pics...


i have a whopper of a headache, so off i go. i have been listing new warm fuzzies and yarns on luxe.etsy daily, so make sure to pop by.
