Questing.....the secondary quest

Now onto my secondary quest.......Sugarpill cosmetics. The colors I'm looking at are - Burning Heart Palette (Flamepoint, Buttercup, Love+ and Poison Plum); Tako; Lumi; Absinthe; and Bulletpoof. And like I said I am thinking about changing Tako to another color for my second order..........

Anyway......I still haven't picked the color to replace it. So it'll remain till I do. As of today I have $54 of the $82 I need for a wonderful 65.9%. And about $28 more to come by. This one is coming along as a rather quicker pace then the other quest was but its also quite a bit cheaper. 

As always thanx for reading ^.^

Questing.....Progression of the Victorian Skirt

So I know it looks like this is the only thing that I post about but my days as of late have been full of self sustaining things......not much to post about but I have a list of things to post about today and here is the first.....

So at present time I have $107.16 out of the $155 needed for a 69.1% completion. And I see if coming along so well. Its nice though. I only have $47.84 left to go.......meaning I could have it done within the next month or two ^.^ And I'm so excited!!! Then its onto a new piece of clothing to quest for.

Thanks as always for reading ^.^ And any donations would be much appreciated.......

Questing.....start of a secondary quest (Sugarpill)

So as I have this system of doing my money so that it is spread around a bit I decided that I would add a secondary quest here so that everyone can watch them too ^.^ I have like ten going on right now but I'll just add this second one for now as more then that might get a little confusing........\

And here is what I'm questing..........

Its the Burning Heart Palette by Sugarpill Cosmetics (Facebook link) which will run me about $34 with a $5 shipping. Now with this palette comes the colors Flamepoint (orange), Buttercup (yellow), Love + (red) and Poison Plum (purple). Now I must admit that this is my ideal palette here as I'm one for bright yet deeper colors. And I love red no matter where ya find it. But I have been thinking that I might do something else entirely.......

Because when you buy $75 worth of products from them then you get free shipping and I am sure that I have well over $75 worth of colors that I want.......so this quest is gonna be for that.......and here are the others I would love to get as well......if stock permits.......

This first one is called Tako and its a pressed powder. Runs about $12

This would be Lumi and its a loose powder. It runs $12 as well.

This wonderful color is called Absinthe in a loose power showing the wonderful packaging...runs $12 also

And last is a wonderful matte black called Bulletproof running $12 as well.......

Seeing as this would add up to $82 I think that I would get free shipping lol.......there might be one change later on for I think I might trade Tako out for another color and go for the Sweetheart Pallette which includes Tako......if so I'll put that in the next update......

Here is how the monies are working out though......as of today I have $32 towards this purchase out of $82 putting me at 39% of this one completed......already pretty decently on my way ^.^

Now I'm sure you might be wondering if this will effect my other quest. But with the aforementioned system any money towrds this quest will actually be a different piece of pie when it comes to the graph of my extra monies......so it won't affect my other quest at all ^.^  And you never know which one will end up being done first ^.^

Questing......progress on the Victorian Skirt part 3

So I haven't been updating on much and seeing as I've made a decent amount of progress on this I thought it might be a good idea to update it ^.^

For those new to my blog (and that haven't read back in my blogs ^.^) I'll give this a new introduction......I'm trying to save up for this outfit:

Well more importantly I'm saving up for the beautiful skirt part of this outfit......easily the most expensive part too.....

Now on to the important facts......so far I've managed to save up $82.64 out of the $155 that I need for the skirt.......bringing my percentage up to 53.3% which is well over half way to me.......I can see this falling into my grasps now!! How lovely it will be to get this in the mail one day soon.......or at least I'm hoping to ^.^

Now as always thanx for reading my friends ^.^

Day to Day: Case of the Hermiting Model

So I've been in a bit of a hermiting mood......for the last two weeks and I apologize to all those who read my blog and have been missing it......so here is a little bit of an update on me ^.^

Before i went into hiding I spent a week like this - I was organising a shoot for a magazine which included getting everyone there (5 models a photographer and myself) with all the right gear (color coded lingerie for the models and camers/lighting for the photographer); added to the above I made all the accessories for the shoot (2 to 4 bows per model and a collar); and had a dentist appointment. This was all on top of my normal things like working and the forty minutes walking back and forth to work. And keeping the house clean and doing all my on line sights and so forth........and I was tired so I took a break ^.^

Now this is what a hermiting model such as myself does when they hermit. This has been my last two to three weeks........

I spent a weekend with my family pretty much not doing anything too productive. The first day I spent all day watching shows on couponing and learned things on line about how to do it. The second day I did some more couponing and then went with them to the car show for a little while. And the third day i spent most the day making little bows (the sewing parts anyway).

The following week was spent mainly at work. I had my mom picking me up in the mornings to go with her to the college to print coupons. And then I would go to work and clip them out. I did get money in the mail from having done back taxes so I wrote up a little bit of my questing things.....or at least I wrote it down.

Last weekend I tried to get through as many of the movies in our house as I could and did a little cleaning. Followed by a more couponing that week....a quick store trip to try out couponing. And then a week of going into the college some more with my mom and re-reading of the Harry Potter series since the last movie is coming out soon (or has come out?).

Now I'm back to the real world.....got myself caught up somewhat on my on line things. And am working on a lot of things........

1) trying to get a bunch of things up and in my etsy account before the magazine goes out so that people will see something in my shop.....

2) starting on the creative aspect of two sets I wanna do for shoots......these will include more then one model and quite a bit of artistic ness.....so keep an eye open

3) trying to get some clothing put together so that I know I can do well at making clothes.....I don't think that I'll have trouble I just always second guess myself

4) planning a quick trip to Portland this month......

5)starting a third blog about couponing to help local katz if your interested I should have it up by tomorrow evening.....showing coupons how to use them to get super cheap things and freebies ^.^

And much much more.......but now I'm gonna go get dressed up to head to the bar to celebrate that my roomie finally turned 21 ^.^ As always thanx for reading and I'll catch all you kool katz later ^.^

Crafting Corner: Accessories for a Magazine Shoot (lots of pics)

I don't know if I told everyone but I was entering an idea for Giuseppina Magazine's seventh issue in hopes to be published. Its gonna be a rainbow themed issue and I did a shoot in respect to the day of silence. It was my brain child and I', super proud of it.......but this post is really about the plethora of accessories I made for the shoot. Not all of them were used but I will show you what I made........

These two were the sets of bows that I wore........since I was red.....

the above are red rose lace over black.....I might need to stretch the red out more next time

And the below are just a skull tulle that I had from my Halloween outfit

Two colors of orange bows. One is just orange. The other is almost like a tie die with two colors of orange.

Two colors of purple.....one just purple cotton while the other is a super silky dark purple fabric.

Once again two colors for the green. A basic green and then a patterned one

The patterned one I must admit is my favorite.......

Two colors of yellow. A plain and then a heart patterned one.....you can't see them but they are there!

I didn't finish the blue ones......but she only needed two for her outfit ^.^

And this is a picture of mass production of them.....all but the blue and red ones......

Now those are all the bows I made for this particular shoot. And good thing there were six of us right ^.^ Either way these were super easy to make. And then I just hot glued them to alligator clips.......which means that I might just spend this week mass produsing more of them......now other then that I also made us cute little collars....

This is a picture of mine with my wrist cuffs too.......

And I had every intetion of making the little cuffs to go with too......but it didn't work out the way I wanted it to. I kind of ran outta time.......But that would be the crafting from the last week ^.^ Hope you enjoyed this post.......(and the girls kept all the bows and such that I made for being a part of this).

As always thanx for reading

Day to day: MAC 'Haul' Part 2

Mkay so once again I found myself at the MAC counter in Valley River Center looking at things that I shouldn't be thinking I could afford......but if I wanna be a real make-up artist I needed to get myself a good eye primer for the shadows I have that aren't able to stay on their self......so this is what I got:

This is MAC's Paint Pot in Painterly (I think thats the color) and I rather like it. It matches close enough to my skin tone. And while shooting yesterday I talked to the make up artist that was there and she said that it was the best eye primer I could of bought.....so I don't feel so bad about the following picture:

Now.....while I hate having spent that much I think that it was a well worth it purchase. If you wanna do anything you need to invest in it ^.^ And I'm feeling ok with this purchase ^.^ Though I must say that they do like the $16.50 price tag.......
