One thing I cant complain about with my new job working for the State is the guaranteed holidays off.  Three day weekends like this are so foreign, I don’t even know what to do with myself.  Since we recently moved to the new townhouse, I was able to go to the storage unit and move over all my old boxes of remnants that have I haven’t seen in the past 5 years, and I keep finding some great little treasures >=]  Like this little number, I have had this fabric about at least 7-8 years, It was in the discount rack at Jo-Anns and It had to be mine.  The fabric texture reminded me of my mom’s old cheong-sam dresses which I have hoarded and have dug out of the trash all the numerous times she has thrown them out.(IS SHE CRAZY?!)  So I decided to just drape this little simple number.  I just love the print, I could stare at it forever.  I don’t want it to scream cheong-sam dress, so It is still in the works, I am trying to decided how I want to finish everything, so here are some in progress images for you:

The dress has some side pockets, but excuse my dress form, she has no butt(just don’t say anything to her cause she is kinda sensitive about that)

Soooo, Did I mention I am highly indecisive? It’s my vice, my downfall, but I’ve learned to deal with it **shrug** I decided the previous site was a nice starting point, but just didn’t scream ME. My other half has been encouraging(okay more like threatening and I quote ‘if you don’t update your website I am taking it down from my server’) for the past month to get myself together. So where the heck have I been since SparkCon? Well right before sparkcon, I had just been hired onto a new job. The grueling three months of training really drained me and I barely had much mental motivation to rehaul the site. We recently also moved(THANK GOD), so Mr. Forge can have his own Studio and I can have my own. Since this is a special occasion, I figured I’ll give you all a sneak peak at the new studio. I wanted to do a whole post with everything I had done to it because i spent a while decorating, painting, and furnishing it……. but to be completely honest, I have already broken in the studio and it’s looking like the night before the fashion show status, and kind of embarrassing.  Kind of a disaster.   Sooooo all you get are two pictures….and a sleepy doggie. Thanks for coming back to visit everybody!  Many new things coming up!

My Inspiration/Style Board, Some sketches from my pieces from Fashion Spark, as you can tell, most of them look quiet different from the final product.  I told you. I am indecisive. It happens. :)

Since it was a special occasion, I made sure the ladies were dressed.  Cause you all are special to me :)   and there might be kids looking at this.  I don’t want to be a bad influence :)   ooooh…do you see miss pretty blue all the way to the left ^_~  A little peekaroo at what I have been up to.

And TomTom is still lazy.  What’s new. <3 Love my Pooch, and he deserves his rightful spot in this post.  XOXO, Carolina
