"On Sunday, a man named Sal9000 married the love of his life. Her name is Nene Anegasaki, and she lives inside of a Nintendo DS video game called Love Plus. The wedding took place during a Make: Japan meet-up held at the Tokyo Institute of Technology. In attendance were a live audience, an MC, the bride's virtual video game girlfriend — who made a speech — and a real human priest..............."

Evening glamour...

  • Nov. 28th, 2009 at 10:18 AM

was already a long time I wanted to make a bustier…after finding the matching fabric (of course taffeta is gorgeous as usual) and embrodery here it is….This corset/bustier is closing on the side with a zipper and has a red lining for great contrast. It has a “fake” closing on the back with a ribbon and beautiful embrodery on the front which is decorated with tiny swarovsky crystals.
Skirt is made from my own pattern and design and decorated with embodery as well.

I thought combination of those colors was nice. Now I am busy with white bustier/corset vor the princessa/evening dress for the vitrina for Christmas :) Wish me luck!

Happy Thanksgiving!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING GUYS!

Keep smiling :)

FINALLY!

  • Nov. 24th, 2009 at 11:17 AM

I finally finished the gym suit order. This is for the little girl that is going to international competitions. She wanted something special personal and very flashy :) - it is why it is full with swarovsky crystals – and this took LOADS of time to apply. I mostly use hot fix stones and I have vacuum machine – but the problem with vacuum that it cools down the temperature and it is not working the best. So turning it on and off every short period of time wasnt really what I was hoping for. But at least everybody is happy with a result.

Suit is closing behind with a blind zipper and small hooks. Its is made of lycra fabric.

Grey

  • Nov. 17th, 2009 at 1:49 PM

I never thought I could be influenced by weather....but today it seems I feel so uneasy and so slightly depressed even. No explanation for it specificallly today so I must blame it on grey weather. Sky is grey, everything is grey around and weahter hanging in a "middle grey" as well - it is about 12 degrees which is not really winter but not really autumn as well. YUK....People seems to be today exactly in the same greyish mood, there are almost nobody on the street........

So I am trying to get myself up and keep going......did you ever had a "weather moods"? How you dealing with it?

And on the other note I thought how interesting it was....... What do we eat for a week.......

Robots...

  • Nov. 12th, 2009 at 12:09 PM

Okay guys I am officially in love LOL....

We bought this little guy couple of days ago and I am still looking in awe how it working all by itself and also communicating with us when necessary. With our superbusy living (I work from 9 till 18 or sometimes 21 in the shop) I hardly have time for any cleaning. I love my house clean so when I am "crowling" home and trying to cook, clean and help kids with homework I kinda getting drained....you also noticed there are not much art lately huh? LOL

So when our IRobot arrived I have a clean house without almost doing anything besides clicking on the button :)....we are such a good team, I am taking the dust away and Bumba (called by Melody) happily bussling and vacuuming :)

You dont know anything about IRobots yet? Well....than you definately should!

We have this little guy Roomba 560... I am already saving for Scuba! :)

Purple

  • Nov. 10th, 2009 at 2:07 PM

Yes, cold weather is slowly coming to here as well. And because Melody grew up from almost all of her coats I decided to make her something new. And of course a Hello Kitty beret to match with it ;)

  • Nov. 5th, 2009 at 2:39 PM

Arent you getting tired from "swine flu" insanity? I am......just because they think they finally started to recognise the flu variations it doesnt make it any more special than any seasonable flu........

On the same note........LOL



And may be somebody knows why when I trying to post image and link it to Flikr it shows me a small square with a red cross on it? Before it was no problem at all :(
