Forgive me for not posting regularly. I will work on fixing this. Part of my journey has come to an end and a new art is just beginning. After the depression of working one dead end job after another I have made a few decisions that will change the course of the rest of my life. I am going back to school. I need 3 classes to finish out my degree and I am going to go for it. Then I am going to get a masters degree in Library Sciences. While taking these three classes I will also be taking Fashion Design classes. I will start at Lindenwood University and then switch over to the new and now enrolling Art Institute of Saint Louis Fashion Academy. My SD sized dress form has arrived from China and I have all the tools  need to get started except a teacher.  So by trial and error I shall be doing this on my own until August when I get to step foot in a classroom!  The picture is Elyria wearing a porcelain dolls dress and a white wig. She is the youngest of the triplets and the shyest.

Nongshim and Me

Image
So I was really hungry, but I have the flu and so far everything I cook ends in disaster. Then I remembered that I had magic in my cabinet. Nongshim Shin Ramyun Black with No MSG So far these are some of my favorite ramyun noodles ever.  Sick as I was, I heard the angels sing. Not as spicy as the regular spicy pack stuffed me very well and made excellent soup broth.  Contents of the package. Dried package contents and weight. Soup Base #1 Turned the broth from clear to white. Soup base #2 with all the spiciness.  Turned the broth orange with red spots. I had chicken left over from chicken noodle soup with no noodles the night before. The results with almost no broth. The end results and now I can eat and be happy! And all I had to do was boil water. Budget gourmet dining at it's best. Now I just need more Nongshim products to eat! I have no idea why I weighed the contents of the packages, the flu made me do it! ...

Fashion Quest

Image
I have been learning fashion illustration and beginning fashion design at home on my own. I am now ready to start playing with sewing and basic garment construction. I want to learn about pleats . I found that awesome blog that is inspiring as well as informative. There are many pleats and techniques to learn. I will start with the jewelry pleat because it is most often used on petticoats and on skirts. I need to make many petticoats and skirts so I may as well focus my attention on the details needed to produce them.

Easter Dolly Tea Party

Image
This is Ansara at her first doll event, she's sitting on the front left hand side wearing a kimono that was loaned to her by a wonderful person who's name I don't remember but hopefully will soon see again and can then tell you all about her and the other great doll people i have met by joining Kukla's Dollhouse group on live journal. It was the most fun that I have had in years, i can not wait until the next event! This was from Easter weekend, sorry it took me so long to post it... currently we have two projects going for Ansara, the building of a closet or traveling garment box/storage and sheets to cover her bed. I lost the chords to my little Janome sew mini so I can get nothing done until I find them. Next week during my first off week from work the plan is to start simple and small and make her 1 pair of white socks, 1 pair of white tights and one pair of white stockings... i wonder how to make a garter belt.. for those stockings.... any suggestions?
