Joe's going back to school (jobs haven't been working out here. Everything has been temp and the like) so we decided since we know we'll be here a while (he's thinking a 3-4 year program) we're going to get a long term lease on a nicer place. We're renting a brand spankin' new house! Well the foundation isn't new but the rest of the place is. New siding, roofing, decks, GRASS (we have a yard and the landscapers are going to leave us some topsoil so we can make a small garden!), appliances, garage (no more street parking!), drywall, carpet, windows, fixtures... Its all new.
And for a fair price we're splitting with two friends.
So today is moving day and then once we're all moved in I'll be ready and rarin' to go! I have three dresses (one I'll post pics of as soon as the computer is re-hooked to the internet) I'm going to be working on, as well as an outfit for a contest over on my Livejournal on one of my communities. Look forward to project updateds!

The First Dress
I wanted to do a few test dresses before I made the Mille Fleures dress. I actually have a pattern that I like a lot, but I wanted to test it in two ways before I actually decided which method to use.
The first way is to take the pattern (New Look 6468) and extend the curved bottom of the dress outward so it had more fullness. The extension started at the waist line of the pattern.
Here it is so far:

I attached the straps and the inner flap yesterday night but I decided not to take pics as it was already pretty late when I had it done.
So anyway that's it so far. I'll post finished pics as well as pics of the other two dresses, and my cutsew soon!

All updated!
My Deviantart is finally all up to date! Man that took a while. Everything is organized into sold and unsold. You can see my page Here. If you have a Deviantart please pop in and see my stuff okay?
DRESS UPDATES:
I've been working on a cutsew for a contest and haven't worked much on dresses. I plan on washing my face, taking a walk, then heading back to the craft room for some serious work on my dress. The one I'm on right now is the one with light blue fabric. Its really pretty. I just hope my alterations to the pattern will make it Loli enough!
Cheer me on guys so I can learn to make this stuff for anyone else who wants it!

Be My Full Moon
Wow! A blog just for my Gothic, Elegant, and Sweet Lolita stuff huh? I always wanted to make a career around something I loved, and this is the beginning.
