DIY: Skirts for the Fall

The cool weather is upon us and I'm excited about making a couple dozen (More like 4 or 5) skirts for the season. I have been neglecting my sewing machine since the beginning of Spring when I made my favorite/over worn maxi dress.


Youtube has been my inspiration, as always, finding some very useful ideas and such. I think I'm going to make a couple maxi skirts, a couple circle skirts, and possibly another pencil skirt. I may even make a maxi dress with long sleeves since I LOVE dresses..

Here's a link to some of my favorite Youtube videos on DIY sewing clothing projects. 

Pictures will be coming as soon as I start/finish said pieces.

Anxiety attacks....

Back in late 2010 while I was in NY, on the train, going to meet my sister for lunch.. I had a panic attack. A couple weeks later when I was back home, I had an anxiety attack after a interview. I tried to explain what happened to me to either my mother or sister and neither one of them seemed to understand. Then they were coming more and more and I couldn't understand why. I didn't feel anxious about anything, but I guess internally I was.

Jump to this year. I had a couple anxiety attacks due to the fact that I am a people pleaser who is currently getting dicked with helping people. I find myself being anxious about the future and something as simple as wanting to do my hair and not having the funds to make it happen. I've looked up ways to deal with anxiety attacks, and so far nothing helps. If I had medical insurance, I would definitely make it my point to go see a therapist; but since I don't, blogging & talking to certain people shall be my therapy sessions.

Common courtesies..

It's the small things in life that mean so much to me, for example: having good manners, being on time, being aware of your surroundings.. Recently, I've noticed that some people just don't care. I babysit for my neighbor and this woman has no idea how much it pisses me off that I come at the scheduled time and she either leaves late or comes back late, messing up my time/plans. I understand, you can't always be on time.. But is it that hard to try to be? She doesn't even let me know she'll be back late until it's the time she was supposed to come back. That's just rude.

Then an hour ago, I did a friend's hair. He didn't tell me how he wanted it done, so I did something simple and quick. It was very neat and plain. He pays, leaves my house, to go where ever to post on Facebook & Twitter that he needs his hair done like I didn't just do it. How rude? If you didn't like what I did before you left my house, why didn't you say so? Why didn't you tell me how you would like it in the first place? You're a paying customer for a service I'm providing; so why wouldn't you say anything?!

I really feel like some people are jerks and don't care. It's just in their nature, but I'm not a jerk (at least not on purpose) and I hate for people to treat me like that.. *sigh* Tis life I suppose..

Seek and ye shall find.

Randomly went "searching" on Twitter for ol' dude's girlfriend's profile.. Found it and started going thru her pictures.... Bad idea... I'm scanning her timeline, starting to put the puzzle together & BOOM! I figured it out. They moved in together. How do I feel about it? I'm not sure. At this exact moment, I feel kinda numb. It didn't really surprise me, but I did have a "oh." moment when I figured it out. Btw, I'm not even the "stalker/rummaging" type...

Moral of this story: Don't go looking for shit you don't have any business looking for, you will find everything you don't want to know about.

I. Must. Get. Out!

I feel trapped in this small town, with this little life that has nothing to offer me. I must get out. There are bigger & better things in the whole entire world that I must see. So far, I can count on one hand the obstacles I have in front of me... My issue is that I can't change them with a blink of my eyes.. Finance is a major issue. Under finance, is employment. If I had a job, I could totally fund my dream of leaving this little world. The main point is that I need to get out & I want to get out. I just need a way to make it happen.
