Pepper Turtles

So, I'm lovin' these follow through skills I got here. It and my willpower are a long, arduous work in progress, I'll get there, I promise. For now though, let's just be a little vain.

Rocking the Triple Pony Super Deluxe

Wouldn't it be cool if I had my hair dyed neopolitan colors with this style? That reminds me, in a future post I must peacock my past hair colors. Right now it's streaky orange because of my well water. I must say, it kinda suits me. Oh, parking cone hair days. -wistful sigh- The earrings I'm wearing are long term lent to me by a best friend, whose great grandmother owned them. There's something magical about them.

There's a star, a moon, cupid, and a sun

Somehow they manage not to be too bulky or show-offy. I enjoy them so.
Then today I was making an asparagus, onion, and bell pepper stir fry (weird sounding combination, surprisingly delicious.) and found something cool in the orange bell pepper. One, or several, I'm not sure, of the seeds had begun growing a new pepper inside. How cool is it a whole peeper comes from one, and each pepper creates that many seeds? They multiply like rats! Seeing it was the same 5 year old awe you get every time you find a tiiiiiny grape. Or you know, I'm just easily excitable.


WOW BAM COOLNESS!
Me and my pepper baby are gonna go ponder the meaning of life now. (It's 42)

When I Grow Up

Can I be this girl?



Her twitchy dance enthralls me, and if I could, I would dress in her kind of nonsense every day.
It kind of reminds me of this necklace.

Flights of fancy

feather necklace/collar and my "sister has slapped me" face.

This is what I spent my yesterday making! My aunt in Tennessee has a bird farm, unofficially, and officially just way too many birds for one person. So she sent me a huge bag of feathers from them years ago, and I always wanted to do something with them but never knew what, so they sat in my room behind my fabric shelf for ages. I pulled them out and started looking through them, and I had a bunch of these (I couldn't tell you what kind of bird they're from off the top of my head. I think they're a tad too colorful for a sun conure, or rather too green, and I can't think of the right kind of parrot. Lemme know if you know.)

I don't know if I'll sell it. That's the problem with me and Etsy and crafts in general: anything I make I want to keep. But maybe I'll make another with a different kind of feather. I feel many feather related things coming on. You think anyone would go for that?

So, me being the fickle, fickle lady-creature that I am, I've decided to dedicate this blog to whatever I fancy at the moment. but it'll probably mostly be

  • Fashion, By which I mean me in a super duper outfit, thrift stores are my best friend.
  • Yum-yums, Why not fulfill my womanly love of baking and share them with the world?
  • Lists, as I do so love a good list.
  • Tying into fashion and what I just posted about, my various jewelry creations.

Go sporadic posting, go!
