lightbox: a new hope

I have lately had another go at using the lightbox I constructed back in February following this DIY tutorial. It's been on my bookshelf for the past few months because I wasn't feelin' it, know what I'm sayin'? I was initially pumped about it because my room has ZERO natural light and on top of that, I'm often up all night and never see any sunlight sometimes. (I like it that way; it's very...

Well, I like those apples very much, Matt Damon.

I LOVE PERFUME!Just sprayed some of this and now I'm blissed out. I don't wear perfume during summer with the frequency I do in autumn/winter, so I forgot how utterly delicious this is. I alternate between three scents currently (this is one of them, the other two are Miss Dior Cherie and a peach-freesia scent by Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen that smells surprisingly great for a low-end kind of spray)...

You're killing me, Buster.

Sort of a long and image-heavy post! You are warned! I have a small pile of things to catch up on! I finally got this dress I've been waiting for anxiously in the mail - I'm so happy with it! It's by NaughtyPixie originally, but I got it from PP and couldn't believe my good luck. I just had this lovely inkling it was meant for Beatrix. It really, really is! It was kismet! It was karma!

pencil-pushing

This morning I randomly picked up a pencil and my sketchbook and drew this little Blythe. It took about half an hour, and my pencil (the only one I have, a mechanical Little Twin Stars pencil) lacked an eraser, so I just plunged on. It is truly a sketch in that way. I was thinking, "Wow, I hardly ever draw anymore." I used to draw a lot in high school, but just for the lulz, never anything...

crocheting...

At the moment, I'm failing at making this bear-eared hat. I've made it three times and it's been fail each time! I'm obviously doing something wrong, but I don't know what and haven't been able to figure it out... I'm guessing it's something with ending off/starting every row each time since it's DC, but without explicit instructions I'm only left to wonder what exactly to do. I had to re-teach...

road trippin'

Back from my trip. I have a love/hate relationship with the highway! I love it in every way except for the way I sometimes feel like I might DIE ON THE SIDE OF IT. But mostly, I love the scenery and blasting out music and all the thoughts that come into my head when the two combine. In Dallas, J and I saw Avenue Q (what a great touring cast!) and stayed at a hotel that was also hosting many...

feeling the Blythe love today

I am in love with this girl by Friends with Blythe. I actually really liked her with the MRB scalp too, but the RIT-dyed SL hair... ohhh. It's such a perfect pink. Not too bright or fluorescent, not too muted, deep and rosy. I'm really envious of whoever can afford this lovely creature.This tree is my favorite place to take pics. Aury is my favorite subject. Thursday I'm going on a short trip...
