as promised, i finally have some pictures of the purses i've been making. if you're interested in buying one, let me know! all but the first two still need to have straps attached, and i'll add the custom pockets as soon as you tell me how big to make them, but other than that they're all done and ready for sale! (and don't worry if the sides look a little wonky in some of the pictures, the stitching is straight and even, i just haven't ironed them out flat yet.) i don't have pics of the ones i'm making for my friends yet, but i'll take some as soon as they're done so you can see them too! anyway, here they are!

mine. it has nirvana on one side and sid vicious on the other, with custom pockets for my cell phone, ipod, and various makeup necessities.

love sid

love kurt



as you can see, mine doesn't have a liner, it's just tshirt material. it was my prototype, so the stitching's a little sloppy too. the others are made much better, and have a black broadcloth liner so they won't stretch out. the strap is made of a heavy synthetic woven material. it's pretty sturdy, so it won't stretch either. honestly, mine is crap compared to the rest i've made, i've gotten much better since then. tongue

just to be clear, i don't support nike, but i thought it was a cool shirt and i got it for 50 cents in a thrift store so i figured it was worth it.



purple tie dye:

i gave it a tie closure, but if you don't like it you can just snip it right off. i won't be offended, i just thought i'd try something new.

(my sewing machine kept jamming and destroyed part of the fabric, so i had to flip the backside around to hide it. i matched the pattern up as best as i could, but i figure it's tie-dye so it probably doesn't need to be perfect.)




like i said, if you're interested in any of them just let me know and i'll get working on making your pockets and whatnot.


(1 week left in my first year of adulthood! i've almost made it! it can't end soon enough.tongue)

so here's what i have as a wishlist so far for people actually coming to my birthday party, but any of you on here are more than welcome to check it out too. so far it's just cd's and some shirts. but if anyone gets me rise against's latest cd, watchmen on dvd, heads over to machetemfg.com's clearance and get's me the rancid ruby soho shirt, i'll love you forever! anyhoo, here it is. look at it, don't, i couldn't care less. i'd be more than satisfied with a funny ass e-card. presents are just a bonus as far as i'm concerned.

cd's:
inhumane
straying from the pack
koffin kats
drunk in the daylight
(if you can find their cd forever for hire anywhere else, I'd actually rather have that than any of these tbh)

shirts:
psycho skull
caddy
graveyard

(I only want one of these, but I made a list in case they were out of my first choice.)

I want this shirt so freaking bad! but honestly, anything from this site and I'd be satisfied, as long as I like the band. (so that would be basically anything from the casualties, flogging molly, koffin kats, mia, operation ivy, rancid, social distortion, stray cats, street dogs, suicide machines, the unseen, and I'm sure I missed a few but that's plenty right there. and just a heads up, but most of their clearance is stuff from rancid. it's all marked down to like $5 right now, in case anyone else loves them as much as i do.)

watchmen on dvd

rise against's latest cd appeal to reason or the oldie but goodie revolutions per minute.

any cd from any of the bands I mentioned above

movies. I can never have enough movies, and I'm not hugely picky. if it's good I'll probably like it. I've been told I'm getting zombieland already (thanks to one of my besties right here on sg), and my mom got me new moon, so just don't get those and you'll be fine. oh, but I LOVE 16 candles and no one ever has it in their store, so if you can find it that would be perfect. seriously, I've been looking for this movie for YEARS.

gift cards are always good. I need to get some new shoes for work so gift cards could really help.

I love monkeys, so if you get me anything with a monkey on it/ in it/ that is related to monkeys in any way I'll probably love it.

hmm what else...did I say gift cards? my only income has been coming from things I make from craft stores (jewelry, purses, etc.) so gift cards to them would be beyond awesome.

also, if you can't afford a present and you live in the cleveland area, maybe you could volunteer with me over the summer with habitat for humanity instead? i would really love that.

again, a simple happy birthday on the big day will suffice, but i won't turn down gifts.




so how've you been lately guys? anything interesting going on in your lives?

Zombie Strippers!!! I did it, because I was afraid you were gonna hit me.

Well like I said, if you're completely bored, then go for it, but really there's a lot more you could do with your time. My blog details it pretty nicely I believe.
