 CJ
is now 2. Here's a picture of him & his cousin Grace at their
combined birthday party at Nana & Papa's house.- 6-6-09
- Not much going on. Been
trying to figure out fairy wings & stay sane. Eh, neither one is
working out that great. Quit my retail job at Haberman's
so I can have some family time...I'll still be teaching the Renaissance
Corset Class. I'm trying to set up an Etsy
store, but I'm trying to make everything "perfect". I know
I should just do it.
I'll be going to Jafax this year with Karmada
& Co. Yea! I'm going to help sell at her table. With my experience
at Computer Shows (vendor & show manager) plus my retail experience
at Haberman's... yeah. I think I'll handle it just fine. I'm kind of
excited about going to my first Anime Con. What to wear???

- I've been minorly obsessed
with the Torg game...see my new desktop. It's Albert and things that
pertain to him...including the Victorian women in undies...

stuff for our Torg game Albert
& Rei, and making things
to start an Etsy store.

- Got a new laptop. Still need
the GAL for embroidery. Sewing room is getting cleaned up. CJ REALLY
likes baths. It's his favorite thing to do.

the laughing man embroidered.

- When I say "New"
in the update, I mean new to the site, it's been a few years
since I did these. I'm finally putting up the pictures.

- What do you think of the new
Color Scheme?
 I need to double check it on my GAL (Ghetto
A$$ Laptop) to see how it shows up there. I really like my GAL.
:) The
other day I made an embroidery pattern for the
Laughing Man from Ghost in the Shell. I'll
take a picture of how it sews out once I figure out what I'm sewing it
on.  My embroidery program was designed for Windows 95, and the upgrades
available online haven't worked on my pc and there is a gizmo that
attaches to the printer port (which most new laptops
don't have) that if you don't have it, it errors out of the
program as a validation device. Technically it's Mom's embroidery
machine (A Brother PE 150 like the one pictured right)
and program, but she is intimidated by it. So it lives at my house. One
cool thing about the program is that it's REALLY easy to get it to do
text in any font installed on your computer. Anglo
Saxon 8th turns out AWESOME with this thing!

- It's a new year, so
I've archived last year's front page with updates here.
I finally uploaded a couple pictures from the 2006 Tennessee
Renaissance Festival. That was a busy year, and I FINALLY
got Chris to show me where he hid the pics on his computer.
Liz, who's name I got for our gaming group Christmas exchange, loved her
FF1 White Mage purse and dice bag with cross stitch embroideries, and
dice. She also traded for the Gandalf bear I put in for the white
elephant gift exchange. Yea! I feel appreciated! Kristie
got my name, and she made a -gorgeous- portrait of my new Torg
PC
Albert. Go see if she has
it up yet at her Deviant Art
site yet. She is amazing. 
I got lots of cool stuff for Christmas including a cool teapot, a cool
charm necklace, a pattern cabinet, some nice dress shirts for work,
books and Bella got me the coolest thing, PoF
4!!! I love that little dog.
I have totally put the Edwardian corset on the back burner. This past
week, all three of us have gotten the stomach flu, CJ seems to be
bouncing back from it the quickest. YEA! He didn't get MY immune system!
I think his went through almost completely in about 18 hours. Mine has
taken about 48, Daddy's took about 48. He was such a good little
trooper, CJ that is. (1-5-09 Update: CJ was just
hiding it REALLY well. He was sick again all Sunday, so I didn't go to
work, but no nap for me either. :P I hope it stays away now. My poor
little guy has been so miserable, but dealing with it really well.)
I think I may simplify the look of the website a little bit, streamline
it a bit more, and make it quicker to download, and easier to view on
crappier systems...I've got a "new" old laptop that can't do
higher resolutions...the current format doesn't work well with it. I
needed something to run Win 98 on that still has the old connectors and
is portable so I could use the embroidery machine software that I have.
The updates from their website didn't seem to work with XP. I finally
got my new addiction up on it too, FF1 (Final Fantasy 1
ala Nintendo Emulator)... It's still slow, and I can get WiFi
with a USB card, but I can't use IE >5, or anything with Flash. It
just crashes it all. It works and I want my website to look good no
matter how it's being viewed. I have to work tomorrow so I had better
get to bed. I really need to realize that since having CJ, coffee
does actually affect my ability to calm down and go to sleep. I used to
be able to have a cup right before bed and sleep all night...oh well.
