What I've been up to!

I have been slack about posting to my blog everyday over the past 2 weeks. That's b/c I've been a little sick with something that I just finally recovered from this past weekend. Yeah I'm all better now! It has been a rough at least past 1.5 weeks, no sugar, no nothing! Wow, eating healthier now so I never get ill, was nothing contagious, just from slacking down with my diet, like that again. I was unable to finish designs etc, the only thing that I accomplished was the one wedding veil tha I posted earlier this week. Last night I whipped my house back into shape; I'm a neat freak everything has to be in place and after being sick I had a lot of cleaning to do. Also last night I begin....drum roll please.....my very first herb garden. That is my very first herb garden as an adult! As a child I lived in Texas and we had a lot of land and always had huge gardens, but as an adult I've never made the time to do so, but it's healthier to grow things organically at home, and stuff in grocery stores are so outrageously expensive, and then getting sick from letting my diet go that I decided to grow my own herbs....indoors. I have a huge kitchen window, so I was able to put everything in my window, now I just hope my efforts will be blessed and that I will produce good, plentous, and healthy herbs. I have sage, oregano. basil, cilantro, dill, chilves, peppermint, and then outside planting serrano peppers and watermelon! So excited. The melons should be ready come September for a fall harvest, but the herbs will start producing as early as next month if I treat them properly, SO with that said, my fashion designs, and my Scents of Happiness making has suffered along w/me recovering. While I was down, I did begin another business adventure, a culinary one that is still in the making. I love desiging food as much as other things, so I'm making my own second recipe book for sale. I tend to love spice, aka food with a spicy tasty kick to them being from Texas as well as great looking food thanks to growing up with a dad whose a chef, SO NEXT WEEK I will catch up with my fashion designs. Thanks for you all understanding my slack in posting and designing. Here is a photo of my new indoors window sill herb garden. I'm so excited!!! Will be back to fashion desiging regularly next week. Stay tuned!

Modern Fashion Ladies Wedding Veil!

Here is my latest design! Walk down the aisle in style in this modern high fashion ladies netting wedding veil. Attaches to hair with white wedding hair comb. Looks simple, but is a complex design that took a day to design. I will have this modeled with a proper wedding dress so you can see the full effect of it sometime soon!

Long Ceremonial Wedding Veils in the Making

This weekend I worked on three wedding veils. This picture is of two wedding veils that are UNFINISHED. I hope to finish them this evening.

New Wedding Veils In The Making!

Started THREE WEDDING VEILS last night. I usually like to start a project and finish it before moving on to the next project, but last night, I started 3 wedding veils and haven't finished one yet. I hope to have them ALL finished by this Sunday so that I can move on to my next mens necktie design.

Odds and Ends

Had a great Father's Day yesterday with the fam. Took my dad 2 hours away down south from Oklahoma City to Lawton, Oklahoma and went on top of Mount Scott. By the time we got home, I managed to get one design ALMOST finished.

Today, I don't feel well, not 100%, and it's hard to be creative when feeling a little sick, but I will made a huge effort to work on some designs this evening in my little factory....aka my house! :-) Hopefully I'll be able to manage my pain and get done some serious designing this evening! I haven't sketched up these designs, they are just in my head, so we'll see if they turn out or if they flop! Flops aren't always bad though; I've gotten good at turning lemons into lemonade! :-) Among other very important priority things in life, I've been balancing my fashion designs, and my new recently gone public Scents of Happiness all natural body care products with piano and a little flute practicing. I appreciate everyone's support w/it all. I'm very blessed with great friends! Here is a pic of me from yesterday on Father's Day sporting my Afro. It's called my all natural hair look....aka, it's called running out of time and letting the hair do what it wants! :-)

More Shoes

A few pages back in this blog I shot a photo of all of the shoes that I own which sums up to I'm a shoe collector. I practically have my own shoe store in my own home I have so many shoes. Anyway, here are my latest arrivals since I posted the shoe blog post a few months back! I was telling my brother, the first thing I notice about a person when I meet them isn't their eyes, it's their shoes, then I go into more depth with their character! :-) This weekend I plan to work on a few WEDDING DESIGNS as well as MEN'S NECKTIE designs! Productive weekend ahead. Check back next week to see what creations my brain thought up as I haven't even done any sketches of designs for them yet! Happy Father's Day Weekend to all!

Finally A New Skirt Design!

Here's my latest skirt design. This fabric has a nice pin striped pattern to it that is hard to see on the photo. I'm happy with it!

Breaking Until Next Week

This week I just finished a custom order set of wedding kneeling pillows for a bride to be. I was happy with the final result, hopefully the bride will be as well! :-) I have other projects in the works in progress, but many other things in life going on this week, so my fashion designs will go on break until next Monday, and then I will hit the ground running hard and fast to make up for lost designing time this week! I'm really anticipating working hard on new designs next week! More wedding designs, more beach designs, and yes, men, finally, more new necktie designs coming soon! I also plan to update my Etsy shop and another private shop that I have with a few new items for sale. Time, if it would only stand still for an hour and let me catch it! :-)
