Thought you all would want to see why I haven’t been around much. Been getting more of my commissions done. Two blouses and a skirt.

There comes a time in everyone’s life where you just have to chalk up mistakes as lessons learned.
I guess I can’t really express the hurt I am feeling right now. But like I said, mistakes are lessons learned.
That being said, anyone in the market for a brand new pink x white blouse?
On second thought, I [...]

Day two of The Week of No Sleep
Another commission bites the dust. Though I am not too sure I am happy with this blouse. I feel like its just a hot mess and that I can do better. So I told my commissioner to let me know if there was something she wanted me to [...]

This week is going to kill me.
That is all.

I really need to get my ass into gear.
One blouse down, five more to go. Give me motivation guys!

This was a commission for It is made from 100% cotton, and features a high ruffled collar, ruffled hem, double ruffles along the button placket, long sleeve with ruffled cuffs, corset-like lacing in the back and a detachable ruffled cravat.

i realize now i do not fear death… i fear my daughter will not be free when i die

When people that I don’t know friend me on LJ. I have my journal friends locked for a reason. That’s why there is an entry with a banner that says FRIEND’S ONLY, and that they should comment if they want to be added.
Well I guess people can’t read apparently.
It says, so and so has added [...]

If there is one person or more on your friends list who makes your world a better place just because they exist and who you would not have met (in real life or not) without the internet, then post this same sentence in your journal.

Okay so ranty ranty time.
The lady that my mom and I are friendly with at our Joann’s Viking Gallery apparently gave my phone number to another lady who is in the market for a few custom dresses.
Is it sad that I feel more comfortable with making lolita stuffs than mainstream items? I mean, its more [...]

So I meant to move all my shit into my new sewing room this past weekend, but things prevented [...]

Well since I am getting ready to move my sewing room downstairs to the bigger room, and I am also trying to get my sales journal in order, I figured I would finally organize and take inventory on all the lace, trims and fabric I have.
I got all the lace done HUZZAH!
I have roughly about [...]

Huzzah!
I have successfully mapped my domain for Jolie Chose Designs to go right to my sales journal.

So I have been confined to the couch for most of the day.
My feet and ankles are swollen and my diaretic prescription ran out. I called it in, but I won’t be able to pick it up until Sunday. So if I sit at my computer or my sewing machine, they are just going to [...]

Gah. So much to do.
Everyone wants their commissions before Otakon. I have no problem with that at all! There’s just…a lot of them. LOL.
I need to make an updated list. Its getting long, but I shall cope!
I will resume my daily to-do lists in the next couple days. I am still trying to recuperate from [...]

Well, since EVERYONE on my friend’s list is posting this, I am just going to answer it here, and if you want to fill it out, just comment with it.

There is not a doubt in my mind that the person whom I am writing this to will be upset with me. At this point, I just don’t care anymore. I have spent so much time and effort, trying to keep my mouth shut and watch as things happen. But I can’t do it any [...]

So I went to Chicago and forgot my pajama pants. I was not too happy about that.
I had to cancel my Arizona trip at the last minute. I was not happy about that either, but family comes first. And my extended family picked the wrong time to rear its ugly fucking head. Hence the epic [...]

I kinda lost track of my posts lol. So I will just make a photo dump of my last few skirts.

So the winner of last night’s poll was wine sateen x off-white! I also started the white cats on black skirt as well, but the wine x off-white one took longer than expected. So I shall finish the cats this morning!
Anyway, moving on!

So apparently I just checked the poll after finishing this skirt, and there was a tie between the tea party cakes and the white cats on black. But in my defense, the tea party cakes were winning when I started! So for that, I will make two skirts tomorrow, one being the white cats on [...]

Ahoy! I know its late, but its still technically Saturday on the west coast XD
Last night’s poll winner was blue roses on ivory! I seemed to be a classic mood today, and still hyped up on high waisted skirts.

So the same thing happened yesterday…I finished a skirt commission AND my day five skirt! Yay productivity!
Let me just say this before I go on to pictures. Don’t iron taffeta. Found that out the hard way XD
I have been pretty good about covering most of the main lolita styles. Today I wanted to cater to [...]
