Kat likes his driftwood chunk :)

Snake Bracelet!

Katamari!

Well we picked the little guy up today! :D And he's absolutely adorable. Friendly and curious too. He spent a good hour climbing all over his terrarium before settling down in his little rock house for a nap. Isn't he cuuuuuute? ^^

Home Sweet Home

Well we're in the new apartment! Yay. Nice and big place. It took us a good 14 hours and three trips in the moving truck and loading up the car to move all the big stuff over. Loooong day. How did we ever move cross country with all we owned in a pickup truck? Admittedly, the majority of our possessions seem to be books. 14 or so boxes of them. And not small boxes either. The big 20 gallon Tupperware tub type. Sorting through them is my job for tomorrow. We definitely need more bookshelves. Anywho. I got a new desk while we had the truck to move and got it all put together. Very spiffy. Much better than having it set up on a folding table. Along with my flat screen monitor Seth bought me last month to replace the ginormous honking CRT screen that weighted more than I do, I feel positively modern. ;) Love you guys! More and pictures once it's put to rights later.

Train

Here's a pic of the train I'm using the pattern for. Fabric choices for it are either going to a copper/brassy brown silk dupioni I've got a lovely swatch of or a nice chocolaty velvet lined in the previously mentioned dupioni. If I can get my hands on it. I'd really love to use the velvet since I think it would really look beautiful and I'd make the bodice of the velvet as well. But we'll see. It's not going to happen at $30/yard.

Overskirt and Moving

Well we're getting out of our current apartment and into the new this Saturday. Seth's over dropping off the deposit check right now so we can pick up the key Friday night. As such, I kinda have to put the sewing on hold for a bit. A shame really, since I've been making so much progress lately. Just need a hem and a waistband on the overskirt now.

Showing off my Undies!

Of the Victorian kind, of course. Finished these today. Isn't the purple lace and ribbon a fun touch? ^^
