I love my life :-)
Some days more than others of course, who doesn’t feel that way. For the most part though, I am the happiest I think I have ever been. My days are generally beautiful. I have a fun job, where I am proud to sell selling beautifully crafted Leatherwork. I work during the week creating beautiful clothes for people who will love them. I have beautiful friends where ever I am, and I get to spend lots of good times with them. I have a beautiful relationship with a man who shamelessly adores me. I have two beautiful kitties who purr when I look at them. All and all, my life rocks!
We spent a couple of Fridays dressing up Victorian style, and having fun. The first was a friend’s benefit for the Foster Children in Fulton County. It was a murder-mystery party, and we had a great time. Rhonni, I, Riki, and Teagan all had a blast, ate some food(sparingly), were completely surprised by the outcome, and it was all for a good cause.
The next Friday there was a little SteamPunk convention(Anachrocon) going on just north of the airport, so we dressed up again, and went to see what was what. I, Rhonni, Riki, and Mark, all got dressed and accessorized with Steamie goodness thanks to Excalibur. Rhonni had a great dress made by Pendragon, and we all carried various business cards to see if we could entice some of them to come out to the Renaissance fair. It was certainly better than I had feared, but not nearly as good as I would have hoped for. It was only its second year, I think, so perhaps it will grow into something larger. We still had a good time, but we were only there for 3 hours or so. Then back home, change, and chat with Bobby after the Asian potluck.
Since then I have been sewing like a mad thing, trying to get as much as possible finished during this show. One reason is of course, because I want to be able to spend as much of Bristol on my Wedding dresses as possible. The second reason is I’m poor! -smile- Have a truck to fix (STILL), a wedding to put on, a life to have. My time is happily filled with stitching in its many varieties. By hand, machine, and in all kinds of light, I have plenty to work on. No boredom here. In fact, I am not going to be accepting any new commissions until I get caught up. I have people waiting on me, and now they get to wait longer with the insertion of a surprise wedding. *grin* They love me, but still… I am such a damn perfectionist, that it would kill me to not do a good job, and so they wait…more or less patiently.
My final picture is of a lovely sunset we had just last week, after a couple of days of rain. The sun popped out just enough to blaze the sky in orange and hot pink. Gorgeous as always, and keeps the tradition of Georgia skies in my posts while here.
Love you one and all, Cheers!
Kelly, take a note out of a recent soon-to-be- groom’s page and do a honeymoon fund for your registry. You’ll avoid lots of gifts you don’t need, and stick to what most important to you. Money (via pay-pal or however they do it) will be more useful sooner instead of later. Besides, people will still give you money later, too.
Brilliant! and done! Thanks Laura, so much.
