ren faire

The ren faire was awesome! It was very chilly but I still had a great time. I ate fish n chips, bites of a turkey leg and the whole thing of cheesecake on a stick. The food is what you go and spend your money on. You can't leave with an empty stomach or else it means you're the worlds pickiest eater and shame on you! The show I wanted to see badly I was able to find. I happily got to see 3 owls!!!!  The little great horned owl was a recent rescue and they brought him out to get him used to the crowds. The poor baby was being attacked by fire ants and lost one of his eyes. Since he can't survive in the wild with only one eye, the trainers saved him. The barred owl came out next and he flew so close to my head he brushed my hair! I was so excited! He also hoo'd at us which was really cute. Lastly, out came Zeus, an eagle owl, who looks a lot like the horned owl, but bigger with smaller, orange eyes. Because the Harry Potter movie, they were invited to the premiere and his trainer wanted him to get used to taking pictures with people so he let us! This was my dream come true! I was able to be just a few inches from my favorite animal! Oh you can imagine how much I was freaking out. But it's true! I watched others take their pictures and Zeus kept lookin around, but when i got to him, he looked straight at the cameras and was quite peaceful! Maybe I'm an owl whisperer???

First up me and my adorable face making man <3 how do you like my handmade costume? Next is the barred owl flying overhead, then the adorable little horned owl who was hooing, then me and Zeus! <3 he liked my purse too <3

okay i promised finished results of the scarf and here it is! It's a design by me (please no stealing the idea it is copyrighted!) of a double ruffle edge. It's quite warm too. If any one would like me to sell them one for a christmas present let me know! You can choose what color you'd like as well!

worst day ever

So last night was the single worst day on the job EVER. I lost power to teh screen that lists the pizzas coming out of the ovens and the computer that i need to get drivers in and out died too. Pizzas were coming out left and right and we couldn't figure out where they went. I was able to reprint tickets from a different computer but we couldn't match them. Customers were livid, incredibly rude, condescending and vile as we were fighting to figure out who ordered what. They didn't help at all because i'd ask someone what they ordered and they'd give me a name that i didn't have and an order that i didn't have. After a good 45 minutes on teh phone with help desk, i was able to get the computers back online, but i needed money for the till and the safe was refusing my key! I was thinking WHAT ELSE. I spoke too soon. I found out we had no brooms to clean with and then the freezer broke. It's supposed to be between -10 to 10 degrees F. It was at 40. By that point i was exhausted and mentally gone. I couldn't wait to get home.

Tomorrow i'm supposed to go to ren fest, but the weather says its going to rain all day. PLEASE NO! This is my fave day of the year, i think especially after what i went through last night that i deserve it! I'm praying that there is no rain (at least until i'm on the way home!) so that way I can go with my handsome man and have a good time.


My man loves to tease me about my obsession with fashion magazines but ya know what? I won! I'm serious! Glamour had a drawing for 5 mini laptops and i was one of the lucky peeps! It's an msi, silver 10 inch piece of awesomeness. I'm so excited I can't begin to tell you. I'm not sure which one i got, but it's silver and looks like this! I love my magazines!

Christmas is fast approaching and Thanksgiving too! I'm about to start going into ultimate crafting mode. I have tons of gifts to make this year since money is so tight! I have literally .88 cents in my bank account XD Ah such is the life of an adult! At least cat toys are relatively cheap. Every time I buy milk then I peel the plastic off and my cat goes crazy for them. Same with the zyrtec d wrappers lol she runs away with them too. I'm working on some goodies like the scarf and I've made some new earrings too! I'll shoot pics soon. It's cold and windy here! I love the cold but I'm not a fan of the wind. >_<* My poor little car gets blown around and freaks me out. Driving is bad enough being stressed out by stupid people not paying attention, but add wind to that and it's just that much worse!
I was at the mall the other day and this stuff is amazing. *___*

Skirt

OKay folks here's the newest blankie that's been taken to church for a needy person =)

That's godiva showing her approval <3

Here is the skirt! now the corset I found at Traders Village and I decided to do a more gypsy themed costume for ren fest (i said gypsy but NOT belly dancer!). I hand stitched the handkerchief skirt and I wanted to show you a rough idea. I'll have my white undergarment like seen in the previous journal post with my pink gown and I'm going to borrow a friend's black skirt to fit underneath the purple one, but here's what I've got so far... What do you think???

This is also a current obsession... I love this show! You wouldn't believe how some resteraunts are run! Thank the good Lord for Ramsey trying to fix them up!

Funky Birdie

I love the owl socks! This is my fun n crazy outfit, full of warm fuzzies. The owl tote i added and it is great for shopping and since it's reusable, you're being eco friendly.

Striped Sweetie

Striped Sweetie by Margaret Walker on Polyvore.com

This is based off artisan Socks striped tights. I love the layered look so I worked with the classy black and white color scheme. The pearl top can also come in grey. I also saw celebs having 2 or more statement rings on at a time hence the owl and bow rings.

Geisha Love

This is based off Artisan Socks Geisha socks! I was so happy to find matching Geisha Earrings! I wanted everything else to be classy and fashionable but simple so that the socks can make their statement. The dress is a sale item from H & M and costs $12.73 USD.
