my extremely short weekend with my siblings...


MY BROTHER GRADUATED HIGH SCHOOL!!!!!
soeur temp

did i mention my brother graduated high school?
she's learning to drape and sew. she's really got the eye for it. some how she draped the most beautiful evening gown out of a bed sheet. we were going to make it and dye it and take pictures but we just didn't have the time, we started sewing and ....she had to go
she kept changing. we had a supermodel night. We, for once, were the models
the print, and in the middle is some pleated fabric with lace and buttons
i made this dress for her the camera i used was real shitty so you can't see the print that well, but the top is cut out paper doll print and the skirt is polkadot embroidered cotton i dyed pink, with rit (which no one uses anymore for some reason) , with some yellow poly lace trim. it's cute, i like it. she's a little poser

just a little something for the time being...

jamie after her haircut, we'll dye it tomorrow and show ya. but for the time being she's lookin' super cute with bangs! sorry the flash caught your glasses so i drew pepperoni in the spot :)
jamie before the bangs. jaimez made me really happy when she came home..i mean to my house after work with mother board cuffs on her sleeves. i particularly love this print and get shunned for it so that part of me was satisfied to a kindred soul, but also that they are 17th century-esque cuffs at the end of her patchwork velvet lapeled jacket that she had hand sewn on at work cause she was bored. she is seriously one of my favorite people to see everyday, she has the same jamie look everyday but so many colors and patterns!!!! please comment if you agree she should add some lace under those cuffs! whoa is this the jamie post?
big , bright pink and red lace bow, fantasy or reality? both!
willow smith ? hell yeah, i love her!
keeping it cool in the cold, well this was a funny shot. but i really appreciate it, but they made the clothes looks so adorable!!
i love this shoot, these ladies are top notch!
thank you alexys and taylor!

the main thing i realized for the first time in full;
there are so many things in the world and i have oh so little time.
I don't want to spend everyday working for a bite,
losing in a war that i'm too weak to fight.
all of their breathless jerks,
turn into a motion that somehow works.
painless listless effort that's what they produce
okay. that was fun.

Clementine's Attic

This is basically my fantasy dress.


heavy vintage circus printed cotton lined with soft blue cotton the skirt is embroidered polkadot and tea dyed with a slight temperature of pink.
the monkey head came from a cheap stuffed animal from vegas. I didn't make the belt but Alexys showed me how cute the baby doll dresses were with a belt so i went to scrap and grabbed a couple for the shoot yesterday.

stay gangsta
and i'm sure that it is obvious this number is one of my favorites too! let me start with my least favorite which is still up there in the tens. black lace trim, sequins, sharks? hell yes!



These are just a few of the items i have for sale through Clementine's Attic.
hope you like it!

40 ounces of pink

i kinda want this to be my card
chan diddly andler, she's the kind of cat that responds to her name, and mostly if i said it. which rules
laying out the patterns . thinking seriously about the sequins. but i have ideas for that one.....and i'm sure you'll be seeing a floral dinosaur in the future made by no slow jams.

new ring. perfect colors.

fini. only took 5 hours , it's a little plain, i know but i liked the textures in the background and didn't want to steal too much from it. blue lace flower spots over pink and white polkadots with ice cream parlor spikes. i want to marry this handsome creature. plus my nails are the perfect color pink which makes hand stitching even more enjoyable.
my foyer is turning into a clothing store. sorry room mates!
Baseball shoes $3.00 at the spca thrift store in Reno, and dino black lace back tee shirt. it was hot in San Francisco

The Only Good Part of Ghost World

i watched ghost world for the first time since i was 14 and realized that it was the beginning to a compilation of youtube clips. thora birch is my hero, (i'm sorry) but this was the most enjoyable thing out of that movie, and the buzzcocks, and thora birch. otherwise it was boring.
